Preface
For over 10 years, one of the authors (YM) has had the privilege to work in a small, growing semiconductor company that focused on producing integrated circuits (ICs) that consume microwatt power and cost less than a penny—chips for the passive radiofrequency identification (RFID) market. The goal of the RFID industry is to produce RFID tags cheap enough to replace the ubiquitous barcodes. As can be expected, since it costs almost nothing to print a barcode, the cost of the RFID chip is one of the most important factors for this lofty goal. Thus one of the driving forces is to squeeze every bit of cost, from the designing to manufacturing, of the RFID chips, which usually entails the IC design methods and manufacturing technologies of the lowest cost. Integrated circuit technology is one of the most amazing engineering marvels in the history of mankind. It has brought forth the revolution in computing, control, and communication and realizes the platform of the information age. For over 50 years, this technology has taken an exponential growth path, following the famed Moore’s law. While it has been projected
