Why is Reduced Drive Current a Concern in Nanotechnology?
As electronic devices shrink to the nanoscale, issues such as quantum tunneling, increased resistance, and reduced carrier mobility become more pronounced. These factors contribute to a decrease in drive current, which in turn impacts the speed and efficiency of the device. Additionally, reduced drive current can exacerbate issues related to power consumption and heat dissipation, making it a critical concern in the design and operation of nanoscale devices.
