Cet ouvrage présente de façon exhaustive l'art de la miniaturisation en électronique intégrée, en étudiant l'ensemble des aspects physiques, technologiques et architecturaux de la micro-électronique et de la nano-électronique. Les bases de ces disciplines ainsi que les progrès les plus récents sont exposés : principes de fonctionnement des composants électroniques ; transistor MOS et transistor bipolaire ; procédés de fabrication de l'industrie micro-électronique ; fonctions analogiques et numériques de base ; circuits intégrés complexes, processeurs et mémoires ; composants nanométriques et architectures associées (nanofils, nanotubes...) ; perspectives d'utilisation, circuits électroniques de demain. Ce livre s'adresse principalement aux ingénieurs et chercheurs en électronique, ainsi qu'aux enseignants et étudiants du domaine.
Cet ouvrage expose les outils et méthodes pour l'obtention d'une description énergétique des constituants de la micro et nano-électronique. L'approche générale est ascendante, c'est-à-dire qu'elle part de l'électron libre pour aller vers le réseau cristallin tout en passant par l'intermédiaire de descriptions énergétiques des atomes et des molécules. Cette approche dans l'espace réciproque conduit naturellement à l'introduction du schéma de bandes. Différentes voies sont explorées. Principalement, la méthode de l'électron presque libre et la méthode des combinaisons linéaires d'orbitales atomiques. Il s'ensuit la définition du modèle quadratique qui découle de l'analyse des principaux résultats établis dans les précédentes études. Il est alors possible de discuter des propriétés du matériau. L'ouvrage se conclut par une présentation générale de différentes filières technologiques pour l'obtention de composants dans les domaines de la micro-électronique et de la nano-électronique.
Composed of contributions from top experts, Microelectronics to Nanoelectronics: Materials, Devices and Manufacturability offers a detailed overview of important recent scientific and technological developments in the rapidly evolving nanoelectronics arena. Under the editorial guidance and technical expertise of noted materials scientist Anupama B. Kaul of California Institute of Technology’s Jet Propulsion Lab, this book captures the ascent of microelectronics into the nanoscale realm. It addresses a wide variety of important scientific and technological issues in nanoelectronics research and development. The book also showcases some key application areas of micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) that have reached the commercial realm. Capitalizing on Dr. Kaul’s considerable technical experience with micro- and nanotechnologies and her extensive research in prestigious academic and industrial labs, the book offers a fresh perspective on application-driven research in micro- and nanoelectronics, including MEMS. Chapters explore how rapid developments in this area are transitioning from the lab to the market, where new and exciting materials, devices, and manufacturing technologies are revolutionizing the electronics industry. Although many micro- and nanotechnologies still face major scientific and technological challenges and remain within the realm of academic research labs, rapid advances in this area have led to the recent emergence of new applications and markets. This handbook encapsulates that exciting recent progress by providing high-quality content contributed by international experts from academia, leading industrial institutions—such as Hewlett-Packard—and government laboratories including the U.S. Department of Energy’s Sandia National Laboratory. Offering something for everyone, from students to scientists to entrepreneurs, this book showcases the broad spectrum of cutting-edge technologies that show significant promise for electronics and related applications in which nanotechnology plays a key role.
Two exciting worlds of science and technology - the nano and micro dimensions. The former is a booming new field of research, the latter the established size range for electronics, and for mutual technological benefit and future commercialization, suitable junctions need to be found. Functional nanostructures such as DNA computers, sensors, neural interfaces, nanooptics or molecular electronics need to be wired to their 'bigger' surroundings. Coming from the opposite direction, microelectronics have experienced an unprecedented miniaturization drive in the last decade, pushing ever further down through the micro size scale towards submicron circuitry. Bringing these two worlds together is a new interdisciplinary challenge for scientists and engineers alike - recognized and substantially funded by the European Commission and other major project initiators worldwide. This book offers a wide range of information from technologies to materials and devices as well as from research to administrative know-how collected by the editors from renowned key members of the nano/micro community.
In this revised and expanded edition, the authors provide a comprehensive overview of the tools, technologies, and physical models needed to understand, build, and analyze microdevices. Students, specialists within the field, and researchers in related fields will appreciate their unified presentation and extensive references.
Cet ouvrage propose un panorama détaillé des micro et nanosystèmes autonomes en énergie, couvrant à la fois les principes mis en oeuvre et les derniers développements. Une étude approfondie d'applications dans les domaines aéronautiques, médicaux et du contrôle des bâtiments permet de dresser les grandes spécifications de tels systèmes et de leurs sous-composants. Les techniques les plus récentes de récupération et conversion d'énergie d'origine photovoltaïque, thermique et mécanique sont présentées. Un état de l'art sur les interfaces capteurs, le traitement du signal numérique et les liaisons radiofréquence, ultra-basse consommation, complète ce panorama. Enfin, des techniques d'optimisation de l'énergie au niveau du microsystème/noeud de capteur et d'un réseau de capteurs sont introduites et discutées.

Micro-nanoelectronics Devices: Modeling of Diffusion and Operation Processes concentrates on the modeling of diffusion processes and the behavior of modern integrated components, from material, to architecture. It goes through the process, the device and the circuit regarding today's widely discussed nano-electronics, both from an industry perspective and that of public entities. - Seeks to provide the core of modeling in micro (nano) electronics - Introduces the equations underlying the modelizations and, ultimately, the related simulations - Proposes what modifications should be made with respect to modeling
In the past decades, the mainstream of microelectronics progression was mainly powered by Moore's law focusing on IC miniaturization down to nano scale. However, there is a fast increasing need for "More than Moore" (MtM) products and technology that are based upon or derived from silicon technologies, but do not simply scale with Moore’s law. This book provides new vision, strategy and guidance for the future technology and business development of micro/nanoelectronics.
