Abstract

Nanotechnology has emerged as a transformative discipline in the field of electronics, enabling devices with enhanced performance, reduced size, and increased energy efficiency. This article reviews current trends in the application of nanotechnology in electronic components and systems, including nanoscale transistors, sensors, memory devices, and flexible electronics. Emphasis is placed on material innovations such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, and quantum dots, alongside fabrication techniques like atomic layer deposition and electron beam lithography. The article also explores the prospects of nanoelectronics in emerging areas such as quantum computing, neuromorphic systems, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Challenges related to scalability, integration, and environmental impact are critically assessed. This comprehensive review provides insights into the future direction of nanotechnology-enabled electronics with a focus on potential contributions and research initiatives in Pakistan.
