Cornell University’s colleges, schools, and other academic units offer more than 4,000 courses, 70 undergraduate majors, 93 graduate fields of study, undergraduate and advanced degrees, and continuing education and outreach programs. Cornell’s numerous designated national centers and programs and other interdisciplinary research and study units support and advance every aspect of the university, are directly accessible to members of the Cornell community and others, and help ensure that Cornell maintains a global presence and perspective.

Center for Nanoscale Systems

The objective of the CNS Nanoelectronics Thrust is the development and advancement of the performance, capability and functionality of nanoelectronic semiconductor devices, circuits and architectures well beyond what can be achieved with conventional electronics. This thrust includes efforts that are concerned with revolutionary advances in silicon electronics and efforts that focus on the effective utilization of the novel capabilities of carbon-based electronic materials.

In Silicon Nanoelectronics CNS seeks the innovation of new technology that will enable performance beyond what will be possible with conventional CMOS scaling. The strategy is to synergistically develop technology, devices, circuits, architecture, and new approaches to interconnects, so that the central issues of performance, power, design, reproducibility and implementation can be addressed simultaneously for digital, analog, and mixed signal processing.
