Low-power HF Microelectronics: A unified approach

As IC technologies evolve, it becomes more vital for microelectronics to achieve lower cost manufacturing, together with higher performance and quality. Describing the innovative modelling, simulation and design techniques of CMOS, SOI, GaAs and JBT used to achieve high-yield manufacture for lower-power, high-speed and reliable analogue and mixed-mode integrated systems, this work features case studies from industry and academia. A number of emerging technologies, particularly for low voltage operations and design techniques, are addressed, including the design of sensors and processing for intelligent systems.
