Foreword

It is a great pleasure to write for this book, which largely presents research funded by the Competence Centre for Materials Science (CCMX) of the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology (ETH domain). CCMX was created in early 2006 with the aim of networking research groups within the ETH domain and interfacing to the research needs of Swiss industry. Materials science and technology is a transversal subject that addresses the diverse materials used in many different industrial sectors; thus CCMX focuses on several sectors of present and future economic importance including Materials for Micro- and Nanosystems (MMNS) with Giovanni De Micheli as director. CCMX has provided a new funding model with several research teams working together on interdisciplinary projects. MMNS took up this model of cooperative engineering to initiate three large projects, namely: (a) Materials, Devices, and Design Technologies for Nanoelectronic Systems Beyond Ultimately Scaled CMOS, (b) Laboratory on Chip, and (c) Development and Characterization of Nanowires for Applications in Bioelectronics. In these
