MICROELECTRONICS

Culled from the second edition of the best-selling Electronics Handbook, Microelectronics presents a summary of the current state of electronics and its innovative directions. This second edition features two new sections on fundamental properties and semiconductor devices. The book includes defining terms, references, and further reading. It also details the IC design process and VLSI circuits, including gate arrays, programmable logic devices and arrays, parasitic capacitance, and transmission line delays. With updates for all chapters, this text is essential for professionals working with microelectronics, electronics, circuits, systems, semiconductors, logic design, and microprocessors.
When it comes to electronics, demand grows as technology shrinks. From consumer and industrial markets to military and aerospace applications, the call is for more functionality in smaller and smaller devices. Culled from the second edition of the best-selling Electronics Handbook, Microelectronics, Second Edition presents a summary of the current state of microelectronics and its innovative directions.

This book focuses on the materials, devices, and applications of microelectronics technology. It details the IC design process and VLSI circuits, including gate arrays, programmable logic devices and arrays, parasitic capacitance, and transmission line delays. Coverage ranges from thermal properties and semiconductor materials to MOSFETs, digital logic families, memory devices, microprocessors, digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital converters, digital filters, and multichip module technology.
