More than Moore an Beyon CMOS 'More than Moore (MtM) refers to a set of technologies that enable non igital micro / nanoelectronic functions, base on, or erive from, silicon technology but o not necessarily scaling with Moore's Law. (Ex: conversion of non-igital as well as non-electronic information, such as mechanical, thermal, acoustic, chemical, optical an biomeical functions, to igital ata an vice versa.) Beyon CMOS refers to electronics using new state variables. (Ex: spin, molecular state, photons, phonons, nanostructures, mechanical state, resistance, quantum state (orbital state, incluing phase) an magnetic flux.)

WARNING 1) As a result, current transistors o not fall uner this category, even though these are manufacture with 22 nm or 14 nm technology. 2) All the properties of semiconuctors epen on quantum mechanics. Here we refer to the ominant role of iniviual objects (one or few electrons, one opant ) so that the peculiar properties of QM like superposition of states, spin an entanglement have irect consequences. 6
