Abstract

Albert Einstein first proved that each molecule measures about a nanometer (a billion of a meter) in diameter. And in 1959, it was Richard P. Feynman who predicted a technological world composed of self-replicating molecules whose purpose would be the production of nano-sized objects.


Almost a hundred years after Einstein's insight and 40 years after Feynman's initial proposition, the nanometer scale looms large on the research agenda. The semiconductor industry is edging closer to the world of Nanotechnology where components are miniaturized to the point of individual molecules and atoms.

Nanotechnology broadly refers to the manipulation of matter on the atomic and molecular scales. This technology enables creation of things one atom or molecule at a time. The possibilities with nanotechnology are enormous and are of great benefit to us.

This seminar report aims to discuss various concepts
