Written from years of experience with developing memories and low-voltage CMOS circuits, Nanoscale Memory Repair describes yield and reliability issues in terms of mathematics and engineering. Readers will find a detailed explanation of the various yield models and calculations.

This discontinuity in design processes has led many researchers to develop effective methods of statistical design, where the designer can simulate not just the behavior of the nominal design, but the expected statistics of the behavior in manufactured ICs.

Each transistor gets its electrical properties from only a small number of impurity atoms in its tiny area. Inevitably, the quantized nature of light and the atomic nature of matter produce statistical variations in both the number of photons de?ning each tiny shape and the number of atoms providing the electrical behavior of tiny transistors.

The world is poised for adoption of wireless technology at a mass market level. This book discusses communications circuit and system solutions for multiple communication standards and future generations of wireless communications.

Multicore Processors and Systems provides a comprehensive overview of emerging multicore processors and systems. It covers technology trends affecting multicores, multicore architecture innovations, multicore software innovations, and case studies of state-of-the-art commercial multicore systems.

Traditionally, Alpha processors - hibited highly innovative clocking systems, always worthy of ISSCC/JSSC publi- tions and for a while Alpha processors were leading the industry in terms of clock performance.

Covering the analysis and design of the most important integrated oscillator circuits, this book shows how to optimize them using the resonator's high Q to achieve the minimum power consumption compatible with frequency stability and phase noise requirements.

As a basic introduction to the subject for practitioners, this text will also be of interest to researchers looking for references that are not part of their subject area, focusing on materials and techniques useful for making integrated circuits.

Covers in detail promising solutions at the device, circuit, and architecture levels of abstraction after first explaining the sensitivity of the various MOS leakage sources to these conditions from the first principles.

Kevin Zhang Advancement of semiconductor technology has driven the rapid growth of very large scale integrated (VLSI) systems for increasingly broad applications, incl- ing high-end and mobile computing, consumer electronics such as 3D gaming, multi-function or smart phone, and various set-top players and ubiquitous sensor and medical devices.

This book focuses on foundry-based process technology that enables the fabrication of 3-D ICs. However, this book does not include a detailed discussion of 3-D ICs design and 3-D packaging. This is an edited book based on chapters contributed by various experts in the field of wafer-level 3-D ICs process technology.

This book is written for academic and professional researchers designing communication systems for pervasive and low power applications. The main emphasis is on design techniques for low power, highly integrated transceivers.

Provides coverage of the aspects of a complex microprocessor design process from technology, power management, clocking, and more. This book is intended for design engineers working in the related areas and a source of technical information as well as a comprehensive reference in the field. It is also useful for technical and business managers.
