Nanoelectronics for Next-Generation Integrated Circuits

The incessant scaling of complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology has resulted in significant performance improvements in very-large-scale integration (VLSI) design techniques and system architectures. This trend is expected to continue in the future, but this requires breakthroughs in the design of nano-CMOS and post-CMOS technologies. Nanoelectronics refers to the possible future technologies beyond conventional CMOS scaling limits. This volume addresses the current state-of-the-art nanoelectronic technologies and presents potential options for next-generation integrated circuits.

Nanoelectronics for Next-generation Integrated Circuits is a useful reference guide for researchers, engineers, and advanced students working on the frontier of the design and modeling of nanoelectronic devices and their integration aspects with future CMOS circuits. This comprehensive volume eloquently presents the design methodologies for spintronics memories, quantum-dot cellular automata, and post-CMOS FETs, including applications in emerging integrated circuit technologies.

Rohit Dhiman received his Bachelor of Technology degree in Electronics & Communication Engineering from HP University Shimla, India in 2007.
