As the U.S. National Nanotechnology Initiative heads into its second five year, there is increasing attention to the transfer of science discovery into innovative technology. The new NNI Strategic Plan identifies manufacturing of nanoscale materials, structures, devices, and systems as one of seven program areas for emphasis over the next five years. Both the Chemical and Semiconductor Industries have identified critical manufacturing issues at the nanoscale. This presentation will provide an assessment of the present state-of-art, the challenges facing nanomanufacturing, and the government efforts to address those challenges.
