The scaling of silicon technology has been ongoing for over forty years. We
are on our way to commercializing devices having a minimum feature size of
one-tenlh of a micron. The push for miniaturization comes from the demand
for higher functionality and higher performance at a lower cost. As a result,
successively higher levels of...
Porous silicon has a range of properties, making it ideal for drug delivery, cancer therapy, and tissue engineering. Porous Silicon for Biomedical Applications provides a comprehensive review of this emerging nanostructured and biodegradable biomaterial.
Chapters in part one focus on the fundamentals and properties of porous...
Building on the historical analysis of organizations and theories that have influenced their development, Gianfranco Dioguardi provides an insightful exploration of the network enterprise and its evolution from the Medieval guilds to the present innovation clusters of Silicon Valley, the Research Triangle, Route 128, and other regions in the U.S...
This book first provides a comprehensive coverage of state-of-the-art validation solutions based on real-time signal tracing to guarantee the correctness of VLSI circuits. The authors discuss several key challenges in post-silicon validation and provide automated solutions that are systematic and cost-effective. A series of...
Doug Abbott examines Eclipse and its ability to save time and money while designing and developing an embedded system!
The Eclipse environment solves the problem of having to maintain your own Integrated Development Environment (IDE), which is time consuming and costly. Embedded tools can also be easily integrated into...
The goal of Reasonably Simple Economics is, not surprisingly, simple: to help us think like economists. When we do, so much of the world that seemed mysterious or baffling becomes more clear and understandable—improving our lives and providing new tools to succeed in business and career.
The leading test prep book on the market for the new PgMP certification exam
Take charge of your career with a new certification that proves that you can lead the management of multiple projects in the workplace. This comprehensive book prepares you for the all-new Program Management Professional (PgMP) certification exam...
Filled with in-depth insights and expert advice, Silicon Germanium covers all the key aspects of this technology and its applications. Beginning with a brief introduction to and historical perspective of IBM’s SiGe technology, this comprehensive guide quickly moves on to:
In order to keep up with global demand, microelectronics engineers are continually challenged to produce increasingly complex, high performance integrated circuits. The steady downscaling of MOSFET/CMOS technology has highlighted the need for a thorough understanding of the properties, potentials and limitations of the latest device models and...
The aim of Molecular and Nano Electronics: Analysis, Design and Simulation is to draw together contributions from some of the most active researchers in this new field in order to illustrate a theory guided-approach to the design of molecular and nano-electronics. The field of molecular and nano-electronics has driven solutions for a...
“This book is much more than you may think it is. Scale is not just about designing Web sites that don’t crash when lots of users show up. It is about designing your company so that it doesn’t crash when your business needs to grow. These guys have been there on the front lines of some of the most...
As VLSI technology scales into nanometer regime, chip design engineering faces
several challenges. One profound change in the chip design business is that engineers
cannot realize the design precisely into the silicon chips. Chip performance,
manufacture yield, and lifetime thereby cannot be determined accurately at the
design...
