Nano-Scaled Semiconductor Devices: Physics, modelling, characterisation, and societal impact

The rapid evolution of integrated circuit technology has brought with it many new materials and processing steps at the nano-scale which boost the electrical performance of devices, resulting in faster and more functionally-complex electronics. However, working at this reduced scale can bring second order effects that degrade efficiency and reliability.

This book describes methods for the characterization, modelling, and simulation prediction of these second order effects in order to optimi...
