Nano-CMOS Circuit and Physical Design

A practical approach to nano–CMOS circuit design and implementation
The fast pace of new technology and the challenges of nano–scaling are bringing together the once–separate disciplines of circuit design, technology device physics, and physical implementation. A good understanding of the underlying physical constraints of device, interconnect, and manufacturing is crucial for designing circuit systems and devices and making sound technology decisions.
Nano–CMOS Circuit and Physical Design integrates the nanometer process, device manufacturability, advanced circuit design, and related physical implementation into a single, seamless approach to advanced semiconductor technology. This comprehensive volume explores new developments in devices and processing; presents design issues, paying special attention to technology/design interactions such as signal integrity and interconnects; and addresses the impact of design for manufacturability and variability. Important topics include:
Nano–CMOS process scaling issues and implications on design
Subwavelength optical lithography
Physics and theory of operation issues and solutions
Design for manufacturability and variability
Written by expert practitioners, Nano–CMOS Circuit and Physical Design is a useful resource for IC designers and professionals in the field, providing them with practical design solutions and approaches.
