Nanotechnology for Microelectronics and Photonics

When solids are reduced to the nanometer scale, they exhibit new and exciting behaviours which constitute the basis for a new generation of electronic devices. Nanotechnology for Microelectronics and Photonics outlines in detail the fundamental solid-state physics concepts that explain the new properties of matter caused by this reduction of solids to the nanometer scale. Applications of these electronic properties are also explored, helping students and researchers to appreciate the current status and future potential of nanotechnology as applied to the electronics industry.  This second edition, thoroughly revised and updated, comprehensive covers the many novel nanoscale applications in micro-optics and microelectronics that have been developed in recent years, and, looking to the future, suggests what other applications are currently in development and may become possible within the next decade. The book is therefore an invaluable reference source for both industrial scientists and graduate students looking for a scholarly guide to how nanostructured materials and nanoscale devices are used in both micro-optics and microelectronics today. Explains the behavioural changes which occur in solids at the nanoscale, making them the basis of a new generation of electronic devicesIncludes detailed coverage of the properties, processing and applications of nanostructured materials when used for optics and electronics, allowing scientists working in these fields to create more effective devices by working at the nanoscaleOffers clear and concise coverage of how nanotechnology can be used in the areas of micro-optics and micro-electronics, providing a one-stop guide as to how nanotechnology applications are currently being used in these fast-moving areas of industry INDICE: 1.
