Nanoelectronics And Information Technology Advanced Electronic Materials and Novel Devices

Providing an introduction to electronic materials and device concepts for the major areas of current and future information technology, the value of this book lies in its focus on the underlying principles. Illustrated by contemporary examples, these basic principles will hold, despite the rapid developments in this field, especially emphasizing nanoelectronics. There is hardly any field where the links between basic science and application are tighter then in nanoelectronics & information technology. As an example, the design of resonant tunneling transistors, single electron devices or molecular electronic structure is simply inconceivable without delving deep into quantum mechanics. This textbook is primarily aimed at students of physics, electrical engineering and information technology, as well as material science in their 3rd year and higher. It is equally of interest to professional wanting a broader overview of this hot topic.Waser, Rainer is the author of 'Nanoelectronics And Information Technology Advanced Electronic Materials and Novel Devices', published 2005 under ISBN 9783527405428 and ISBN 3527405429.
