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...
Since first developed in the early sixties, silicon chip technology has made vast leaps forward. From a rudimentary circuit with a mere handful of transistors, the chip has evolved into a technological wonder, packing millions of bits of information on a surface no larger that a human thumbnail. And most experts predict that in the near future, we...
Bypass the limitations of synchronous design and create low power, higher performance circuits with shorter design times using this practical guide to asynchronous design. The fundamentals of asynchronous design are covered, as is a large variety of design styles, while the emphasis throughout is on practical techniques and real-world...
ULSI Technology describes the theoretical and practical aspects of the most advanced state of electronics technology-ultralarge-scale integration (ULSI), where an integrated circuit (IC) chip contains over 10 million semiconductor devices. With ULSI technology, the cost of electronics products will decrease while the system functionality and...
This book is an introduction to semiconductor devices for undergraduate electrical engineers, other interested students, and practicing engineers and scientists whose understanding of modern electronics needs updating. The book is organized to bring students with a background in sophomore physics to a level of understanding which will allow...
CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) technology continues to be the dominant technology for fabricating integrated circuits (ICs or chips). This dominance will likely continue for the next 25 years and perhaps even longer. Why? CMOS technology is reliable, manufacturable, low power, low cost, and, perhaps most importantly, scalable....
Single Crystal Growth of Semiconductors from Metallic Solutions covers the four principal growth techniques currently in use for the growth of semiconductor single crystals from metallic solutions. Providing an in-depth review of the state-of-the-art of each, both experimentally and by numerical simulations. The importance of a close...
Control problems offer an industrially important application and a guide to understanding control systems for those working in Neural Networks. Neural Systems for Control represents the most up-to-date developments in the rapidly growing aplication area of neural networks and focuses on research in natural and artifical neural systems...
Owing to the advances in semiconductor technology, a large and complex system that has a wide variety of functionalities has been integrated on a single chip. It is called system-on-a-chip (SoC) or system LSI, since all of the components in an electronics system are built on a single chip. Designs of SoCs are highly complicated and require...
Integrated Silicon Optoelectronics synthesizes topics from optoelectronics and microelectronics. The book concentrates on silicon as the major base of modern semiconductor devices and circuits. Starting from the basics of optical emission and absorption, as well as from the device physics of photodetectors, the aspects of the integration of...
Energy experts predict that wholesale electricity prices could easily rise 35 to 65 percent by 2015. Add to this the growing need for energy independence and the need to reduce carbon emissions and it is very clear that the development of low-cost renewable energy, such as solar energy, is essential for our economy and our national security....
