Offering first-hand insights by top scientists and industry experts at
the forefront of R&D into nanoelectronics, this book neatly links the
underlying technological principles with present and future
applications.
A brief introduction is followed by an overview of present and emerging
logic devices, memories and power technologies. Specific chapters are
dedicated to the enabling factors, such as new materials,
characterization techniques, smart manufacturing and advanced circuit
design. The second part of the book provides detailed coverage of the
current state and showcases real future applications in a wide range of
fields: safety, transport, medicine, environment, manufacturing, and
social life, including an analysis of emerging trends in the internet of
things and cyber-physical systems. A survey of main economic factors and
trends concludes the book.
Highlighting the importance of nanoelectronics in the core fields of
communication and information technology, this is essential reading for
materials scientists, electronics and electrical engineers, as well as
those working in the semiconductor and sensor industries.
