第七讲微电子技术发展与物理学

微电子学的基础是近代固体物理．微电子技术的快速发展又推动了物理学许多分支的进展．今天，当微电子的基本器件MOSFET缩小接近其终极时，作为下一代的基础，一批基于新的物理效应的纳电子器件又被提了出来．为了突破传统的二值开关系统的共同极限，新的信息处理系统，如量子信息处理，正在大力研究之中．不久的将来，可望出现一次新的信息电子革命．这次革命又将建立在现代物理学及现代生物学的基础之上．

Physics and the development of microelectronics technology

The foundation of microelectronics is modern solid state physics. Conversely, the fast development of microelectronics has brought great advances in many branches of physics. As the size of the basic device MOSFET approaches its ultimate limit, a series of nano-electronic devices based on different physical mechanisms have been proposed for future generations. Meanwhile, to overcome the universal limit of traditional classical 2-level switching systems new information processing systems, such as quantum information processing, are under intensive investigation. A new revolution in information electronics is expected in the near future. Its foundation is still advanced modern physics, and probably modern biology too.
