    This book examines in detail the basic properties and design, including chip integration, of CMOS and bipolar VLSI devices and discusses the various factors that affect their performance. The authors begin with a thorough review of the relevant aspects of semiconductor physics, and proceed to a description of the design of CMOS and bipolar devices. The optimization of these devices for VLSI applications is also covered. The authors highlight the intricate interdependencies and subtle trade-offs between those device parameters, such as power consumption and packing density, that affect circuit performance and manufacturability. They also discuss in detail the scaling, and physical limits to the scaling, of CMOS and bipolar devices. The book contains many exercises, and can be used as a textbook for senior undergraduate or first-year graduate courses on microelectronics or VLSI devices. It will also be a valuable reference volume for practising engineers involved in research and development in the electronics industry.

    • The most up-to-date treatment available of a very important field
    • Totally authoritative - both authors are Fellows of the IEEE and are based at one of the world's leading centers for microelectronics (IBM)
    • Contains many exercises and industrially relevant examples - ideal as both a textbook and reference volume (will be a lot of interest in industry as it is the 'latest' from IBM)

    Reviews & endorsements

    "...well-written classroom text....this book will also prove valuable to practicing designers and researchers because of the many advanced topics included...covers a wide range of material for its size...The book is logically organized. Both the ideas and the presentation are first-rate. The typesetting and diagrams are superb." Computing Reviews
