Elad D. Mentovich, M.Sc.

Elad D. Mentovich, M.Sc. is Ph.D. candidate in Physical Chemistry at Tel Aviv University, Israel.
 
Elad’s Ph.D. dissertation is “Realization of the Molecular transistor Roadmap”.
 
Even if Moore’s Law continues to hold, it will take 250 years to fill the performance gap between present-day computers and the ultimate computer determined from the laws of physics alone. Molecular nanostructures promise to occupy a prominent role in any attempt to extend charge based device technology beyond the projected limits of CMOS scaling. The aim of his Ph.D. is to discuss the potential of molecular electronics and to identify and solve the fundamental knowledge gap for the successful introduction of molecule-enabled computing technology. Thus, an attempt is made to extend the performance of the current device technology beyond the classical limit and into the quantum regime in which the main characteristics are not only current and amplification but also the nonlinear effects crucial for transistor operation. In doing so, new transport physics of molecular devices will be explored.
