Integration errors can have several adverse effects on the performance of nanotechnology-based systems:
- Decreased Efficiency: Mismatches in electrical, thermal, or mechanical properties can reduce the overall efficiency of devices such as nanoelectronics or nanophotonics. - Reduced Reliability: Errors can lead to premature failure or reduced lifespan of the integrated system. - Functional Limitations: Inaccuracies in integration can limit the functionality, such as reduced sensitivity in nanosensors or decreased efficacy in drug delivery systems.
