Although the term nanotechnology is generally defined as utilizing technology less than 100nm in size, nanoelectronics often refer to transistor devices that are so small that inter-atomic interactions and quantum mechanical properties need to be studied extensively. As a result, present transistors (such as CMOS90 from TSMC or Pentium 4 Processors from Intel) do not fall under this category, even though these devices are manufactured under 90nm or 65nm technology[dubious discuss]. Nanoelectronics are sometimes considered as disruptive technology because present candidates are significantly different from traditional transistors. Some of these candidates include: hybrid molecular/semiconductor electronics, one dimensional nanotubes/nanowires, or advanced molecular electronics. The sub-voltage and deep-sub-voltage nanoelectronics are specific and important fields of R&D, and the appearance of new ICs operating almost near theoretical limitTemplate:Cm (fundamental, technological, design methodological, architectural, algorithmic) on energy consumption per 1 bit processing is inevitable. The important case of fundamental ultimate limit for logic operation is reversible computing. Although all of these hold immense promises for the future, they are still under development and will most likely not be used for manufacturing any time soon.
