Nanotechnology in this context is used to describe a range of research where the characteristic dimensions are less than about 1,000 nanometers. Reason 1: Nanotechnology is becoming popular because it is seen as a potential technology to replace the existing limitations (based on the laws of physics) with current conventional computer hardware lithography capabilities that are used to design and create the circuit boards on PCs. Reason 2: Economics dictates that companies are always looking for cheaper and smaller manufactured and manufacturing systems that use less power, take up less space and are more reliable. Nanotechnology is seen as the way to achieve this, by developing what is called a 'step change' technology. The ultimate near term utopia would be a new generation of products that are more environmentally friendly to produce, use and dispose of, stronger, lighter and more precise.
