Springer - Atomic-Scale Electronics Beyond CMOS Book

As the era of Moore's Law reaches its limits, the semiconductor industry faces a major transition. This book from Springer examines the shift from traditional complementary metal-oxide semiconductors (CMOS) to the next generation of nanoelectronics. As gate lengths approach the scale of just a few atoms, standard scaling methods are no longer sufficient. This text provides an in-depth look at the physical principles and technological implementations required for atomic- and nano-scale electronics. It addresses the challenges posed by the end of traditional transistor scaling and explores the devices expected to lead the future of the field. Readers will gain a clear understanding of how nanoelectronics will function once the boundaries of CMOS are surpassed. This is an essential resource for those studying the evolution of semiconductor technology and the physics of extremely small-scale electronic components.
