Preface
After enjoying a three-decade ride as the top semiconductor technology for implementing integrated circuits (ICs), the era of single-gate complementary metal-oxide semiconductors (CMOS) is coming to an end. Waiting in the wings as replacements are various interesting new nanotechnologies. In the past decade, a contender for replacing bulk CMOS technology has been double-gate field-effect transistor technology, most manufacturable of which are FinFETs. There are also other contenders, such as nanowires, carbon nanotubes, graphene nanoribbons, resonant tunneling diodes, quantum cellular automata, etc. We may also soon see hybrid nano/CMOS designs in which the memory has been implemented in a new technology, while the processing elements have been implemented in CMOS. Although these nanotechnologies have attracted significant attention over the last decade, the emphasis of interest, as expected, has been more on their physics, chemistry, and fabrication aspects. However, interesting new nanoelectronic circuit designs are beginning to emerge that herald an exciting new era of IC design. These designs deal with both logic as well as interconnect. Our aim in this book is to introduce readers to the emerging design paradigms in various nanotechnologies, and to bridge the existing gap between nanodevice research and nanosystems design. The book focuses on state-of-the-art research activities, yet, at the same time, covers the fundamental principles behind the nanotechnology developments. The ultimate goal is to expose the great potential of nanoelectronic technology and the unique challenges it poses along the deviceto-system spectrum. A rich set of references is included at the end of each chapter to give pointers to readers who w
