In the seven years since the first edition of this book was completed, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) phenomena in integrated circuits (IC) continues to be important as technologies shrink and the speed and size of the chips increases. The phenomena related to ESD events in semiconductor devices take place outside the realm of normal device...

One-dimensional (1D) nanostructures represent a group of nanomaterials with highly anisotropic morphologies, the smallest dimension falling in the range of 1–100 nm. Typical examples of 1D nanostructures include nanowires and nanotubes. Semiconductor nanowires are characterized by the efficient transport of electrons and excitons, and...

When executed well, e-learning is a powerful way for organizations to save money while providing the up-to-date training and information that will help employees perform better and more efficiently. Unfortunately, all too often, companies are finding that they’re spending a huge amount of money for less return than they...

This invaluable book provides a comprehensive treatment of the design and applications of the semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). SOAs are important components for optical communication systems with applications as in-line amplifiers and as functional devices in evolving optical networks. The functional applications of SOAs were first...
