Several techniques can be employed to mitigate leakage in nanotechnology:
Material Engineering Using advanced materials with superior insulating properties can help reduce electrical and thermal leakage. For instance, high-k dielectrics are often used in transistors to minimize gate leakage.
Structural Design Optimizing the design of nanostructures can also help in mitigating leakage. This may involve creating more efficient pathways for electric current or adopting nanostructured barriers to control chemical diffusion.
Advanced Coatings Applying specialized coatings can act as barriers to prevent chemical leakage. These coatings can be designed to be selectively permeable, allowing desired substances to pass while blocking others.
