VLSI: Circuits for Emerging Applications

This book showcases the latest advances in very-large-scale integrated (VLSI) circuits, providing a balanced view of industrial and academic developments beyond silicon and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. From quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) to chips for cochlear implants, this must-have resource presents cutting-edge research, design architectures, materials, and uses for VLSI circuits, offering valuable insight into the current state of the art of micro- and nanoelectronics. It explores organic transistors, soft errors, photonics, nanoelectromechanical (NEM) relays, reversible computation, bioinformatics, asynchronous logic, and more.
