Description
John Wiley Future Trends in Microelectronics The Nano the Giga and the Ultra 2004 Edition by Serge Luryi, Jimmy Xu, Alex Zaslavsky
The continuing miniaturization in silicon devices has led to current research in such topics as Nanoelectronics, Quantum Cascade Lasers, Nanomaterials and applications in biology. In this book leading professionals in the semiconductor microelectronics field discuss the future evolution of their profession through questions such as: As the end of CMOS scaling is approaching, what kind of research does the silicon industry need to continue its expansion? What is its future beyond shrinking silicon devices? Is there practicality in such fashionable topics as quantum computing, molecular computing, spintronics, and similar research trends? What is the most likely future of microelectronis in the near and long term? Table of contents :- Preface (S.
