Advanced Circuits for Emerging Technologies

The book will address the-state-of-the-art in integrated circuitdesign in the context of emerging systems. New excitingopportunities in body area networks, wireless communications, datanetworking, and optical imaging are discussed. Emerging materialsthat can take system performance beyond standard CMOS, like Siliconon Insulator (SOI), Silicon Germanium (SiGe), and Indium Phosphide(InP) are explored. Three-dimensional (3-D) CMOS integration andco-integration with sensor technology are described as well. Thebook is a must for anyone serious about circuit design for futuretechnologies. The book is written by top notch international experts inindustry and academia. The intended audience is practicingengineers with integrated circuit background. The book will be alsoused as a recommended reading and supplementary material ingraduate course curriculum. Intended audience is professionalsworking in the integrated circuit design field. Their job titlesmight be : design engineer, product manager, marketing manager,design team leader, etc. The book will be also used by graduatestudents. Many of the chapter authors are UniversityProfessors.
