This book exhibits a unique way to explain nano materials, devices, analysis of its design parameters to meet the sub-nano-regime challenges for low power chip design. Since process variability, device sizing and power supply scaling is an ongoing challenge in large VLSI circuits design, this book highlights the conventional and novel nano materials, devices and circuits, leakage current mitigation techniques and other important tradeoffs along with exhaustive analysis. More focus has placed throughout the book on the various trade-offs for high speed and low power VLSI devices and circuits co-design.

This book:

Discusses advanced nano-semiconductor devices such as FinFET, nanowire, tunnel field-effect transistors, carbon nanotube field effect transistors, and high-electron-mobility transistors. Presents high-performance semiconductor devices at nanoscale technology nodes for the analysis of quantum effects and their impact on circuits and systems. Covers power dissipation and reduction techniques for high-performance devices. Explains both silicon and non-silicon devices for various applications like digital logic, and analog/radio frequency applications. Examines the difficulties and practical design approaches for extremely low-power analog integrated circuits.

It is primarily written for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and academic researchers in the fields of electrical engineering, electronics, and communications engineering, materials science, nanoscience, and nanotechnology.
