Abstract
An increase in the surface-to- volume ratio and changes in geometry and electronic structure have a strong
impact on the chemical interactions of matter, and for example, the activity of small particles changes with
changes in the number of atoms (and thus the size of the particles). Unlike today's nano-transistors, which
behave based on the movement of a mass of electrons in matter, new devices follow the phenomena of quantum
mechanics at the nano scale, in which the discrete nature of electrons cannot be ignored. By reducing all the
horizontal and vertical dimensions of the transistor, the electric charge density increases in different areas of the
nano-transistor , or in other words, the number of electric charges per unit area of the nano-transistor increases.
