Metal Nanostructures: A New Class of Electronic Devices
Walter Schwarzacher · The Electrochemical Society Interface · 1999
Since the discovery of the transistor just over 50 years ago (see Interface Vol. 6, No. 1), the cost of electronic systems has been reduced and their performance dramatically improved. New technology has resulted in individual components becoming ever smaller and more highly integrated. Controlling the structure of semiconductor devices on a submicron scale has become routine.
