Private and Corporate Investment In Nanoelectronics While much of the action in nanoelectronics is taking place in the researchsetting, interest is strong from the investment community and first-round investments are beginning to be made. This panel brings together leading venture capitalists and corporate investors to explore the unique challenges and opportunities offered by nanoelectronics over the near- and long-term. Relationships and strategic partnerships will be discussed. Concerns about financing in the current economy, as well as ROI expectations, will be addressed.
Moderator: Bart Schachter, General Partner, Blueprint Ventures Panelists: Jeff Andrews, Partner, Atlas Venture Victor H. Boyajian, Chair, Sills Cummis Capital Markets Group and Corporate Technology Practice Wendy T. Chin, Managing Director, ITF Global Partners Peter J. Hébert, Co-Founder & Managing Partner, Lux Capital Daniel V. Leff, Senior Associate, Sevin Rosen Funds Alexander Wong, Partner, Apax Partners, Inc.
11:30am - 12:30pm
Keynote II: The Practical Nanoscientist: So Many Atoms, So Little Time
The talk will review practical approaches to engineering electronic systems on the nanoscale, and the relevant physics. The application of self-assembly as an alternative or supplement to conventional microfabrication will be discussed.
Mark A. Reed, Harold Hogkinson Chair of Engineering and Applied Science, Yale University
12:30pm - 1:30pm
Lunch Break / Visit Exhibit Hall

Nanoelectronics On Display In Displays
When it comes to displays, there's a big premium on smaller. Whether it's the use of nanotechnology in the polarizing films used in display screens or the use of carbon nanotubes for field emission inside the display, the $20 billion market for flat-panel displays is one of the most promising areas for nanotechnology applications. This session will provide two case studies of companies working in this sector, but with quite different technologies.

Nanoelectronics Within The Semiconductor Industry (Part II)
The Semiconductor Industry Association Roadmap predicts that the microelectronic industry will have to change many of its practices if Moore's law is to be extended beyond 2010. Silicon objects of sizes ranging from deep submicron to a few angstroms are likely to offer an answer that is acceptable from the scientific and manufacturing points of view to most of these anticipated roadblocks. This presentation will review the role of ultrasmall silicon objects and how they can improve individual devices as well as interconnects on chips.
Philippe M. Fauchet, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor & Chair, Department Of Electrical & Computer Engineering, University Of Rochester
3:30pm - 3:45pm
Afternoon Break
3:45pm - 5:00pm
Nanotechnology Meets Magnetic Data Storage
The National Storage Industry Consortium (NSIC) plans to demonstrate a recording density of 1 terabit per square inch by 2006, which is quite a leap from the 25 gigabits of data per square inch commercial drives currently hold. This session will focus on the advances that can help shrink component size and increase storage capacity, including materials with smaller grain structures, the production of thin films and the study of the giant magnetoresistance effect.
