Who is involved in IEEE’s standards development for nanoelectronics?
It’s a mix of experts. Some are instrument manufacturers, who want to make sure there are standard measurements so that they don’t have to reinvent the wheel with use of their instruments. We also have other industry participants such as electronics manufacturers, and we do seek industry participation from around the world. Government labs are another group who provides experts. We want the standards to impact commercialization, so we don’t want it to just remain in an academic community, but we do appreciate the expertise of people who have been working in academia and government to help us make sure we are using the best procedures and practices. Q: If someone wants to participate, who should they contact? Me. I’d love that. I’d be asking him or her about particular areas of interest in nanoelectronics to slot them in a particular standards area with other similar-minded people to look at proposing specific standards development projects. Q: What other work is IEEE doing in nanotechn
