Leakage in Nanometer CMOS Technologies

May 28, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

Product Description

The goal of Leakage in Nanometer CMOS Technologies is to provide ample detail so that the reader can understand why leakage power components are becoming increasingly relevant in CMOS systems that use nanometer scale MOS devices. Leakage current sources at the MOS device level including sub-threshold and different types of tunneling are discussed in detail. The book covers promising solutions at the device, circuit, and architecture levels of abstraction.

Manifestation of these MOS device leakage components at the full chip level depends considerably on several aspects including the nature of the circuit block, its state, its application workload, and Process/Voltage/Temperature conditions. The sensitivity of the various MOS leakage sources to these conditions are described from the first principles.  The resulting manifestations are discussed at length to help the reader understand the effectiveness of leakage power reduction solutions under these different conditions.

Case studies are presented to highlight real world examples that reap the benefits of leakage power reduction solutions.  Finally, the book highlights different device design choices that exist to mitigate increases in the leakage components as technology scales.

Micro and Nano Mechanical Testing of Materials and Devices

May 22, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

Product Description

Nanoscale and nanostructured materials have exhibited different physical properties from the corresponding macroscopic coarse-grained materials due to the size confinement. As a result, there is a need for new techniques to probe the mechanical behavior of advanced materials on the small scales. Micro and Nano Mechanical Testing of Materials and Devices presents the latest advances in the techniques of mechanical testing on the micro- and nanoscales, which are necessary for characterizing the mechanical properties of low-dimensional materials and structures.

Written by a group of internationally recognized authors, this book covers topics such as:

  • Techniques for micro- and nano- mechanical characterization;
  • Size effects in the indentation plasticity;
  • Characterization of low-dimensional structure including nanobelts and nanotubes;
  • Characterization of smart materials, including piezoelectric materials and shape memory alloys;
  • Analysis and modeling of the deformation of carbon-nanotubes.

Micro and Nano Mechanical Testing of Materials and Devices is a valuable resource for engineers and researchers working in the area of mechanical characterization of advanced materials.
