Summary

Four years ago we outlined some of the areas where nanotechnology might be applied to electronics. We are now seeing real examples of use, particularly in new areas such as photovoltaics, but there are applications in more conventional applications such as solder and surface finishes.

Conclusions

Nanomaterials are starting to be more widely used in electronics but it takes a significant time for these applications to take hold and for significant business to result. Most applications will be evolutionary rather than revolutionary but will still yield significant performance and economic benefits.
