Abstract
The field of electronic devices has become more significant during the past
40 years. However, the laws of quantum mechanics and the limitations of fabrication
techniques have revolutionized modern technology. Many investigators in the field of
electronic devices have found that nanotechnology has been used to improve electronic
components and electronic research. Moreover, the devices with at least one overall
dimension in the nanoscale are characterized in the category of nanodevices. These
devices will impact modern society concerning computers, networking, medical
services, defence, and surveillance systems. These devices will impact modern society
in various applications such as computing, communications, health care, security, and
environmental monitoring. Nanoelectronics aims to reduce the size, weight, and power
consumption of electronic devices and displays while increasing their functionality.
Device weight and power consumption are reduced as a result. To synthesize these
devices, a suitable material is always needed. The nanotechnology industry is
advancing steadily, and robust characterization and synthesis methods are available to
manufacture nanomaterials with precise dimensions. Nanotechnology's influence on the
development of nanoscale systems is sustainable and has begun to have a substantial
positive impact. The rise of the nanodevice sector has been sparked by developments in
nanomaterials, which are briefly covered in this chapter. We specifically outline and
define several terms associated with nanomaterials. The top-down and bottom-up
approaches to nanomaterial production, as well as other techniques, are reviewed. The
chapter also highlights the distinctive properties of nanomaterials. Finally, we conclude
by discussing the difficulties and prospects of using nanomaterials in the nanodevice
sector.
