Silicon Nanowire Transistors [Paperback]

This book describes the n and p-channel Silicon Nanowire Transistor (SNT) designs with single and dual-work functions, emphasizing low static and dynamic power consumption.  The authors describe a process flow for fabrication and generate SPICE models for building various digital and analog circuits.  These include an SRAM, a baseband spread spectrum transmitter, a neuron cell and a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) platform in the digital domain, as well as high bandwidth single-stage and operational amplifiers, RF communication circuits in the analog domain, in order to show this technologys true potential for the next generation VLSI.  Dual Work Function Silicon Nanowire MOS Transistors.- Single Work Function Silicon Nanowire MOS Transistors.- Spice Modeling For Analog and Digital Applications.- High-Speed Analog Applications.- Radio Frequency (RF) Applications.- SRAM Mega Cell Design for Digital Applications.- Field-Programmable-Gate-Array (FPGA).- Integrate-And-Fire Spiking (IFS) Neuron.- Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) Base-Band Transmitter.-
