NEMS [NANO ELECTRO MECHANICAL SYSTEM] AN OVERVIEW
 |
NEMS (Nano Electro Mechanical System) is the next miniaturization of MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System), which is the integration of electrical and mechanical functionality in the size of the nanoscale. Interested to know more about NEMS, have a look at the below ppt for more exciting information:
What is NEMS? The term Nanoelectromechanical systems or NEMS is used to describe devices integratingelectrical and mechanical functionality on thenanoscale. NEMS form the logical next miniaturizationstep from so-called microelectromechanicalsystems, or MEMS devices.

NEMS - Definition
NEMS is the integration of sensors, actuators,electronics, photonics, energy, fluidics,chemistry, and biology into a meaningfulsystem enabled by sub micrometer science andengineering precision.
Nanowires
 |
Nanowires such as nanoLED arrays might enable anew class of nanodisplays.But consider fabricating nanowires out of dissimilarmaterials such as gallium arsenic on silicon.
The ability to realize vertical nanowires composed ofmetals, semiconductors, and insulators on silicon andother substrates will enable new types of highperformance, heterogeneous micro- and nanosystems.
And they can be formed without the usualconsiderations of lattice strain matching that occurs inmicroscale dimensions.

Nanoassembly
The most important area of NEMS opportunityarises— programmable self-assembly forheterogeneous nanointegration.It is simply called as nanoassembly––a newmanufacturing paradigm that allows for thedirected self-assembly of components into preciselocations on a substrate.Nanoassembly might also be used to build systemson non-planar or 3D surfaces where traditionalmonolithic integration has failed.
