Nanoelectronic Devices
Features
- Covers a broad spectrum from the basic concepts to the current research topics
- Intuitive and qualitative explanation of device concepts before the use of quantitative analysis
- Illustrated with excellent figures and 3D plots
- Includes circuit and system concepts that are rarely dealt with in books on devices
- Discusses nano-biotechnology application of field-effect transistors
Summary
This book provides readers with the knowledge in fundamentals of nanoelectronic devices. The authors build the principles of nanoelectronic devices based on those of microelectronic devices wherever possible and introduce the inherently nanoelectronic principles gradually. They briefly review of quantum mechanics and solid-state physics that can form the basis of semiconductor device physics. The book also covers the basics of electron transport and p–n junctions, develops the operations of MOS capacitors and MOSFETs, and introduces some basic CMOS circuits. The last chapter is devoted to the nano-biotechnology application of field-effect transistors.

Editorial Reviews
"This is a unique book that offers basic knowledge, operation principles, and applications of nanoelectronic devices. With ample schematic illustrations and clear descriptions, the book is suitable for grasping the ideas of various types of devices and going into profound physics that appears in each device. I strongly recommend this book to graduate students and young researchers and engineers in industries and academia."
—Prof Toshiro Hiramoto - Institute of Industrial Science, University of Tokyo, Japan
"This book provides a timely bridge from the basic quantum mechanical theories (especially those in solid-state physics) to modern electronic devices, including nanowire field-effect transistors (NW-FETs), single-electron transistors (SETs), and biomolecular sensors. This book is an excellent textbook and reference for senior undergraduates, graduates, and professionals in the field of micro- and nanoelectronics. The book is written in a pedagogical way, and the concepts are explained in a precise manner."
—Prof Zhiping Yu - Tsinghua University, China
