Advances in semiconductor technologies : selected topics beyond conventional CMOS

Includes bibliographical references and index

'Discover the broad sweep of semiconductor technologies in this uniquely curated resource Semiconductor technologies and innovations have been the backbone of numerous different fields: electronics, online commerce, the information and communication industry, and the defense industry. For over fifty years, silicon technology and CMOS scaling have been the central focus and primary driver of innovation in the semiconductor industry. Traditional CMOS scaling has begun to slow as the conventional dimensional scaling has approached some fundamental limits, and as a result, the pace of scientific research and discovery for novel semiconductor technologies is increasing with a focus on novel materials, devices, designs, architectures, and computer paradigms. In particular, new computing paradigms and systems--such as quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and Internet of Things--have the potential to unlock unprecedented power and application space. Advances in Semiconductor Technologies provides a comprehensive overview of semiconductor technologies and the most up-to-date research topics, looking in particular at mainstream developments in current industry research and development, from emerging materials and devices, to architectures and computing paradigms. This full-coverage volume gives the reader valuable insights into state-of-the-art advances currently being fabricated, a wide range of novel computing paradigms currently under investigation, and a glance into the future with emerging technologies in development.'--...
