Nanoelectronic Device Applications Handbook

Nanoelectronic Device Applications Handbook gives a comprehensive snapshot of the state of the art in nanodevices for nanoelectronics applications. Combining breadth and depth, the book includes 68 chapters on topics that range from nano-scaled complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) devices through recent developments in nano capacitors and AlGaAs/GaAs devices. The contributors are world-renowned experts from academia and industry from around the globe.

The handbook explores current research into potentially disruptive technologies for a post-CMOS world. These include:

• Nanoscale advances in current MOSFET/CMOS technology
• Nano capacitors for applications such as electronics packaging and humidity sensors
• Single electron transistors and other electron tunneling devices
• Quantum cellular automata and nanomagnetic logic
• Memristors as switching devices and for memory
• Graphene preparation, properties, and devices
• Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), both single CNT and random network
• Other CNT applications such as terahertz, sensors, interconnects, and capacitors
• Nano system architectures for reliability
• Nanowire device fabrication and applications
• Nanowire transistors
• Nanodevices for spintronics

The book closes with a call for a new generation of simulation tools to handle nanoscale mechanisms in realistic nanodevice geometries.

This timely handbook offers a wealth of insights into the application of nanoelectronics. It is an invaluable reference and source of ideas for anyone working in the rapidly expanding field of nanoelectronics.

James (Jim) E. Morris is an electrical and computer engineering professor at Portland State University, Oregon, and professor emeritus at SUNY-Binghamton, having served as department chair at both. Dr. Morris has served the IEEE Components Packaging and Manufacturing Technology (CPMT) Society as a treasurer (1991–1997), BoG member (1996–1998, 2011–2013), VP for conferences (1998–2003), distinguished lecturer (2000–present), CPMT Transactions associate editor (1998–present), and co-chair of the CPMT Technical Committee on nanotechnology, and was recognized with the 2005 CPMT David Feldman Outstanding Contribution Award. He serves on the IEEE Nanotechnology Council (NTC) as CPMT representative (2007–present), VP for conferences (2013–2014), and past Awards chair. He has edited or co-authored five books on electronics packaging, including one on nanopackaging.
