Abstract

This paper firstly gives a broad overview of electron device research from a perspective of technical conferences and their structure and organization. It then follows with a review of current and emerging technologies and their possible future developments. Subjects covered include: Moore´s law; quantum devices; nanotechnology; nanoprinting; single electron devices; spintronics; low-temperature devices; and quantum computers.
