VLSI, or Very-Large-Scale-Integration, is the practice of combining
billions of transistors to create an integrated circuit. At present,
VLSI circuits are realised using CMOS technology. However, the demand
for ever smaller, more efficient circuits is now pushing the limits of
CMOS. Post-CMOS refers to the possible future digital logic technologies
beyond the CMOS scaling limits. This 2-volume set addresses the current
state of the art in VLSI technologies and presents potential options for
post-CMOS processes.
VLSI and Post-CMOS Electronics is a useful reference guide for
researchers, engineers and advanced students working in the area of
design and modelling of VLSI and post-CMOS devices and their circuits.
Volume 1 focuses on design, modelling and simulation, including
applications in low voltage and low power VLSI, and post-CMOS devices
and circuits. Volume 2 addresses a wide range of devices, circuits and
interconnects.
