Nanoelectronic Circuit Design

Description

Nanoelectronic Circuit Design Edited by: Niraj K. Jha Deming Chen This book is about large-scale electronic circuits design driven by nanotechnology, where nanotechnology is broadly defined as building circuits using nanoscale devices that are either implemented with nanomaterials (e.g., nanowires, nanotubes or graphene) or following an unconventional method (e.g., FinFETs, quantum dots or resonant tunneling diodes). These nanoscale devices have significant potential to revolutionize the fabrication and integration of electronic systems and scale beyond the perceived scaling limitations of traditional CMOS. While innovations in nanotechnology originate at the individual device level, realizing the true impact of electronic systems demands that these device-level capabilities be translated into system-level benefits. This is the first book to focus on nanoscale circuits and their design issues, bridging the existing gap between nanodevice research and nanosystem design. •Covers design, synthesis, assembly, fabrication, integration, fault tolerance and testing of nanocircuits and nanosystems; •Focuses on state-of-the-art research, as well as fundamental principles; •Describes potential of nanoelectronic technology and the unique challenges it presents across the whole device-to-system process;
