Nanoscale Semiconductors: Materials, Devices and Circuits

This  reference text discusses conduction mechanism, structure construction,  operation, performance evaluation and applications of nanoscale  semiconductor materials and devices in VLSI circuits design.

The  text explains nano materials, devices, analysis of its design  parameters to meet the sub-nano-regime challenges for CMOS devices. It  discusses important topics including memory design and testing, fin  field-effect transistor (FinFET), tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET)  for sensors design, carbon nanotube field-effect transistor (CNTFET) for  memory design, nanowire and nanoribbons, nano devices based  low-power-circuit design, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)  design.

The book

• discusses nanoscale semiconductor materials, device models, and circuit design
• covers nanoscale semiconductor device structures and modeling
• discusses novel nano-semiconductor devices such as FinFET, CNTFET, and Nanowire
• covers power dissipation and reduction techniques

Discussing  innovative nanoscale semiconductor device structures and modeling, this  text will be useful for graduate students, and academic researchers in  diverse areas such as electrical engineering, electronics and  communication engineering, nanoscience, and nanotechnology. It covers  nano devices based low-power-circuit design, nanoscale devices based  digital VLSI circuits, and novel devices based analog VLSI circuits  design.
