Even as we tentatively enter the nanotechnology era, we are now encountering the 50th anniversary of the invention of the IC. Will silicon continue to be the pre-eminent material and will Moore’s Law continue unabated, albeit in a broader economic venue, in the nanotechnology era? This monograph addresses these issues by a re-examination of the scientific and technological foundations of the micro-electronics era. By better assessing and understanding the past five decades of this established era, it is proposed that a firmer foundation can be laid for the research that will ensue and possibly provide a glimpse of what is next to come in the nanotechnology era. Provides a unique insight into the development of Si-based micro- and nanoelectronics. Analyzes the historic developments and presents the current state-of-the-art, giving a survey of thecurrently most advanced applications. Features two visionary articles of Nobel laureates. Appeals to researchers with a roader interest in micro- and nanoelectronics INDICE: Preface. Historical Background. State of the Art. Future Directions
