Nanoelectronics Research Gaps
and Recommendations
A Report from the International Planning Working Group
on Nanoelectronics (IPWGN)

anotechnology exploded in scientific
publications in the
year 2000. It became clear in the
subsequent years that the magnitude and opportunities offered in
nanotechnology research and development exceeded the research capabilities of any single entity or any
single region, and a new cooperative
approach was needed. The first step
to this approach consisted of fostering communication among leading
researchers with the intent of facilitating subsequent cooperation. As
such and as applicable to semiconductors and nanoelectronics, international cooperation and research
coordination was instigated via the
International Nanotechnology Conference on Communication and
Cooperation (INC) initiative, leading
the quest to narrow "research to a
new product cycle" via a coordinated research strategy and funding
initiatives towards solving the grand
challenges. The INC conference series first began in 2005 to serve
as a central arena for stakeholders
to share experiences from various

regions on electronics-related nanotechnology research program execution and challenges.

IPWGN Mission
Supported by both the International
Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) Emerging Research
Devices chapter (ITRS/ERD) and
the INC, the International Planning Working Group on Nanoelectronics (IPWGN) was established to
identify technology research funding and program gaps occurring
in regions. The goal was to reduce
overlaps and to programmatically

improve research program planning. Such information allows for
recommendations to adjust and
justify resource allocation and to
encourage interregional research collaboration, particularly where underfunded opportunities may exist, in
order to maximize social and economic benefits derived from the
funded research. The technical
areas of IPWGN focus are aligned
with the ITRS/ERD and ITRS/ERM
targeting "extended CMOS" including "beyond CMOS" that includes all
new approaches proposed to scale
