Intelligent Integrated Systems

This book gives a state-of-the-art overview by internationally recognized researchers of the architectures of breakthrough devices required for future intelligent integrated systems. The first section highlights Advanced Silicon-Based CMOS Technologies. New device and functional architectures are reviewed in chapters on Tunneling Field-Effect Transistors and 3-D monolithic Integration, which the alternative materials could possibly use in the future. The way we can augment silicon technologies is illustrated by the co-integration of new types of devices, such as molecular and resistive spintronics-based memories and smart sensors, using nanoscale features co-integrated with silicon CMOS or above it.
