Da eletrônica a fotônica e outras aplicações.

Abstract

In this work we study the development of Electronics to Photonics. He has a historical and descriptive character about the main achievements and advances of technologies current. Electronics dominates all the technologies present in our lives, although limits of miniaturization have reached, it remains a reference in the production of new technologies. Fotônica, in turn, is more recent, although it is part of the great advances in research and application. Several parts of the world use it in their equipment. However, the various components, both of Electronics, and of Photonics with the miniaturization, gave rise to nanotechnology that is responsible for this new molding of equipment. On the other hand, the search for space and flexibility opens the door to use of organic components that have conductive properties. They have won every more space in electronics, as well as the need for devices that withstand extreme temperature and voltage conditions make room for the study of semiconductors WBG, which are the long gap semiconductors.
