Wafer-scale integration has long been the dream of system designers. Instead of chopping a wafer into a few hundred or a few thousand chips, one would just connect the circuits on the entire wafer. What an enormous capability wafer-scale integration would offer: all those millions of circuits connected by high-speed on-chip wires. Unfortunately, the best known optical systems can provide suitably ?ne resolution only over an area much smaller than a whole wafer. There is no known way to pattern a whole wafer with transistors and wires small enough for modern circuits. Statistical defects present a ?rmer barrier to wafer-scale integration. Flaws appear regularly in integrated circuits; the lar...
This comprehensive reference text discusses novel semiconductor devices, including nanostructure field-effect transistors, photodiodes, high electron mobility transistors, and oxide-based devices. The text covers submicron semiconductor devices, device modeling, novel materials for devices, novel semiconductor devices, optimization techniques, and their application in detail. It covers such important topics as negative capacitance devices, surface-plasmon resonance devices, Fermi-level pinning, external stimuli-based optimization techniques, optoelectronic devices, and architecture-based optimization techniques. The book: Covers novel semiconductor devices with submicron dimensions Discusses comprehensive device optimization techniques Examines conceptualization and modeling of semiconductor devices Covers circuit and sensor-based application of the novel devices Discusses novel materials for next-generation devices This text will be useful for graduate students and professionals in fields including electrical engineering, electronics and communication engineering, materials science, and nanoscience.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Workshop on Power and Timing Optimization and Simulation, PATMOS 2004, held in Santorini, Greece in September 2004. The 85 revised papers presented together with abstracts of 6 invited presentations were carefully reviewed and selected from 152 papers submitted. The papers are organized in topical sections on buses and communication, circuits and devices, low power issues, architectures, asynchronous circuits, systems design, interconnect and physical design, security and safety, low-power processing, digital design, and modeling and simulation.
This volume contains the papers presented at the 7th International Symposium on Automated Technologyfor Veri?cation and Analysis held during October 13- 16 in Macao SAR, China. The primary objective of the ATVA conferences - mains the same: to exchangeand promote the latest advances of state-of-the-art researchon theoretical and practical aspects of automated analysis, veri?cation, and synthesis. Among 74 research papers and 10 tool papers submitted to ATVA 2009, the Program Committee accepted 23 as regular papers and 3 as tool papers. In all, 33 experts from 17 countries worked hard to make sure that every submission received a rigorous and fair evaluation. In addition, the program included...
Our mission is to provide a forum for world experts to discuss technologies, address the growing needs associated with silicon technology, and exchange their discoveries and solutions for current issues of high interest. We encourage collaboration, open discussion, and critical reviews at this conference. Furthermore, we hope that this conference will also provide collaborative opportunities for those who are interested in the semiconductor industry in Asia, particularly in China.
New paradigms can popularize old technologies. A new \standalone" paradigm, the electronic desktop, popularized the personal computer. A new \connected" paradigm, the web browser, popularized the Internet. Another new paradigm, the mobile agent, may further popularize the Internet by giving people greater access to it with less eort. MobileAgentParadigm The mobile agent paradigm integrates a network of computers in a novel way designed to simplify the development of network applications. To an application developer the computers appear to form an electronic world of places occupied by agents. Each agent or place in the electronic world has the authority of an individual or an organization in...
The Third Edition of CMOS Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation continues to cover the practical design of both analog and digital integrated circuits, offering a vital, contemporary view of a wide range of analog/digital circuit blocks including: phase-locked-loops, delta-sigma sensing circuits, voltage/current references, op-amps, the design of data converters, and much more. Regardless of one's integrated circuit (IC) design skill level, this book allows readers to experience both the theory behind, and the hands-on implementation of, complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) IC design via detailed derivations, discussions, and hundreds of design, layout, and simulation examples.
