Emerging Nanoelectronics, 3 Vol Set : Life With And After Cmos

Emerging Nanoelectronics: Life with and after CMOS contains material and envisioned evolutions concerning limits forseen for CMOS technology, single electron devices and circuits, hybrid CMOS-SET circuit architecture and other novel devices and circuits operating with a few electrons. An engineering, practical point of view is systematically followed.

Topics include:

Volume 1 * Fundamental CMOS Scaling Limits - Bio-Nanotechnology

Volume 2 * Few Electron Devices - Millipede Nanotechnology for Data Storage

Volume 3 * Nano-Scale Circuits and Architectures - Nanophotonics

Emerging Nanoelectronics: Life with and after CMOS is written for students, researchers and professionals of engineering and science, practicing engineers, physicists and venture capitalists.

"This book will give you a wonderful overview and state of the art of the many possible options, which exist to extend microelectronics into nanoelectronics… I firmly believe that even though standard planar CMOS will eventually hit the wall, we will find solutions to take us another 30 years down the road, and lead to equally impressive achievements. This is an exciting time with many promising alternative solutions. Many new ideas and even a few old ones are being put on the table, researched, contemplated and prototyped. In the following pages you can read about these new developments in nanoelectronics…" Christopher Wasshuber, Texas Instruments

Adrian M. Ionescu is an Assistant Professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. He received the PhD degree in Microelectronics from the University 'Politehnica' Bucharest, Romania, in 1994, and in Physics of Semiconductors from the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble, France, in 1997. He has held research scientist positions at LETI-CEA and LPCS-CNRS, Grenoble, France and he was a visiting researcher at the Center of Integrated Systems, Stanford University, USA. His research interests focus on micro- and nano-electronic devices aimed at Integrated Circuit design - especially process development, modelling and electrical characterization. Dr. Ionescu has authored more than 70 articles in international journals and conferences. He received three Best Paper Awards in international conferences and the Annual Award of the Technical Section of the Romanian Academy (of Sciences) in 1994. He is an expert for the IST program of the European Commission in Brussels since 1999. He is also director of the Institute of Microelectronics and Microsystems of EPFL since 2002.Kaustav Banerjee is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering and computer sciences from the University of California at Berkeley in 1999. Prior to joining UCSB, he was with Stanford University, Stanford, CA, from 1999 to 2002 as a Research Associate at the Center for Integrated Systems. From February 2002 to August 2002 he was a Visiting Professor at the Circuit Research Labs of Intel in Hillsboro, Oregon. He has also held summer and/or visiting positions at Texas Instruments Inc., Dallas, Texas (1993-97), and Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland (2001), and has consulted for several EDA companies in the Silicon Valley. His research interests include nanometer scale circuit effects and their implications for high-performance and low-power VLSI and mixed-signal designs including their design automation methods. He has published over 70 research papers in archival journals and refereed international conferences on these subjects. He is the recipient of a Best Paper Award at the 2001 Design Automation Conference. Dr. Banerjee served as Technical Program Chair of the 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (ISQED '02), and is the Conference Vice-Chair of ISQED '03. At present, he serves on the technical program committees of the EOS/ESD Symposium, and the IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium (IRPS). He is a Senior Member of the IEEE.
