CRC Press Nanoelectronic Device Applications Handbook (Devices, Circuits, and Systems)

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. Review "... an outstanding, edited collection of state-of-the-art contributions. ... The material provides an excellent overview of the broadly defined field of nanoelectronic devices. ... a comprehensive handbook that is a great resource for students and researchers. Its well-balanced and clear presentations will attract both engineers and scientists of diverse backgrounds."―Igor Zutic, University at Buffalo, State University of New York, USA, from ASME's Journal of Nanotechnology in Engineering and Medicine, August 2013, Vol. 4 "The book covers an extremely large number of topics in nanodevices and their applications. For a person with an engineering background, it will be very useful if he or she wants to start to go in deep and understand the current state of the art of research and technology development in this field. ... I highly recommend it."―Johan Liu, Professor and Head, Bionano Systems Laboratory, Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience, Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden "Nanotechnology has become the foundation for semiconductor logic and memory devices and systems as more and more functionality is desired in smaller and smaller dimensions. This book eloquently describes the fundamental building blocks of future electronic and magnetic devices, providing details on their principles and fabrication and subsequent integration. It is a great resource for researchers and educators in the field of emerging nanoelectronic devices."―Santosh K. Kurinec, Rochester Institute of Technology, New York, USA "This volume is a unique assembly of topics ranging from present-day nanodevices used commercially today, new nanomaterials such as semiconductor nanowires to carbon-based electronics, and to potential future technologies based on entirely new concepts of information processing such as single electron devices, phase change devices, nanomagnetics, spintronics, and quantum computing. The reader should find a wealth of current topics in nanoelectronics within this handbook, which will serve as an invaluable reference on this ubiquitous technology."―From the Foreword by Stephen M. Goodnick, IEEE Nanotechnology Council President (2012–2013) About the Author 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.
