Nanotechnology enhances chip performance through several mechanisms:
Miniaturization: Creating smaller transistors and interconnects increases the number of components that can fit on a chip, boosting computational power. Quantum Effects: At the nanoscale, quantum mechanical effects become significant, allowing for new types of devices like quantum dots and single-electron transistors. Material Innovation: Developing new materials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes which offer superior electrical properties compared to traditional silicon.
