Introduction to the Special Section on the Fifth IEEE International Nanoelectronics Conference (IEEE INEC) E are pleased to present here a special section of the best papers selected from 242 presentations in the fifth IEEE International Nanoelectronics Conference (IEEE INEC) held in Singapore in January 2013. The theme of the INEC 2013 is “sustainable nanoelectronics,” aiming in nanoelectronics for the future. It brought together more than 230 participants to Singapore from 23 countries over the world, including China, Japan, Korea, India, Thailand, Egypt, Iran, Australia, Sweden, Canada, U.S., France, and U.K. In addition to the invited and contributed talks and poster session, the conference also invited renowned experts to give keynote speech, spreading out in four parallel symposia: 1) Nanofabrication. 2) Nanoelectronics. 3) Nanophotonics. 4) Nanosciences. We believe that the papers selected for this special section reflect the high quality of research in nanotechnology, and they will undoubtedly benefit the researchers in the field for their research and manufacturers for developing new high technology products. The following Special Section papers were published in the November 2013 and January 2014 issues: “Tunable Subwavelength Terahertz Plasmonic Stub Waveguide Filters,” by

Tao et al.; “On Pairing of Bipolar RRAM Memory With NPN Selector Based on Set/Reset Array Power Considerations,” by Mandapati et al.; “Effects of Carbon Loading on the Performance of Functionalized Carbon Nanotube Polymer Heat Sink for High Power Light-Emitting Diode in Switching Applications,” by Tan et al.; “Effect of Source Pupil Shape on Process Windows in EUV Lithography,” by Kuo. We would like to thank the Editorial Board of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON NANOTECHNOLOGY, and especially Prof. K. L. Wang, the Editor-in-Chief, for their full support. We also thank all the authors who have contributed to this special section. D. H.

Geok Ing Ng received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA. In 1995, he joined the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, where he is currently the Head of the Microelectronics Division in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. He is also the Director for the Silicon Technologies Centre of Excellence (Si COE) jointly established by the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A∗ STAR) and NTU. He has authored and coauthored more than 200 international journal and conference papers and delivered invited talks at several international conferences. His current research interests include device physics, fabrication and characterization of microwave devices with different III–V material (GaN, GaAs, InP) systems for low-noise, power, and MMIC applications. Dr. Ng received the European Microwave Prize for his work on InP-based heterostructure monolithic amplifiers in 1990. He is also the recipient of the 2007 prestigious Singapore’s Defense Technology Prize for his outstanding technological contributions in MMIC R&D.
