Abstract
Among the different emerging technologies surveyed previously in Chap. 1, crossbars are a very promising approach to integrate silicon nanowires and molecular switches into functional circuits. Chapter 2 proposed a fabrication framework for crossbars, the multi-spacer patterning technique, which has the advantage of being CMOS compatible and using only photolithography steps. Other approaches to fabricate crossbars reported in literature include nanomolds and self-assembly.

If we consider short channel transistors, then the saturation current is proportional to \((V_{{\rm A},i}-V_{\rm T})\) and \(\delta=(\alpha+\upsilon)/q\)
