Advanced Technologies for Next Generation Integrated Circuits - Materials, Circuits and Devices by Ashok Srivastava & Saraju P Mohanty Hardcover

About the Book

Novel devices with the potential to provide alternatives to existing nanometer CMOS technology are the subject of research in the fields of electronic materials and electronic design automation. This book explores the materials and design requirements of emerging integrated circuit technologies, and outlines their prospective applications.

Book Synopsis

Although existing nanometer CMOS technology is expected to remain dominant for the next decade, new non-classical devices are being developed as the potential replacements of silicon CMOS, in order to meet the ever-present demand for faster, smaller, more efficient integrate circuits. Many new devices are based on novel emerging materials such as one-dimensional carbon nanotubes and two-dimensional graphene, non-graphene two-dimensional materials, and transition metal dichalcogenides. Such devices use on/off operations based on quantum mechanical current transport, and so their design and fabrication require an understanding of the electronic structures of materials and technologies. Moreover, electronic design automation (EDA) tools based on simple models can't be used in the design of these emerging integrated circuits. New tools and techniques need to be developed based on integrating devices from emerging novel material-based technologies.

The aim of this book is to explore the materials and design requirements of emerging integrated circuit technologies, and to outline their prospective applications.
