[book] Moore's Law: The Untold Story

Daniel Foty 

Moore's Law: The Untold Story 

CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform 

August 18, 2017; pp. 400; ISBN: 978-1974698431 

 

“Moore's Law' has entered popular parlance in a variety of ways. But what exactly is "Moore‘s Law?" And how did it happen?

In this book. Daniel Foty - a PhD. engineer and commercial-grade veteran of more than twenty-f‌ive years in the semiconductor industry and allied f‌ields - takes the reader through the tangled and bizarre sequence of events that eventually led to ‘Moore’s Law” and the ubiquitous silicon technology which has resulted. The deep roots of this remarkable story go back some twenty centuries, and that story involves an unlikely collection of happenstances. Gifts of nature, and totally unexpected developments. Along the way, the reader meets many of the players in that story - from the well-known (such as Benjamin Franklin and Gordon Moore) to the (unfortunately) less—well-known (such as Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce). In the f‌inal analysis, “Moore's Law" was neither imposed nor discovered - but instead represents a remarkable concatenation of a series of natural flukes that compounded into a juggernaut. 

Written for the non-specialist, the untold story of “Moore's Law" is told here with fresh depth and proper historical insight.

Title: Sub-Micron Semiconductor Devices: Design and Applications

Introduction: To follow Moore’s law, semiconductor devices are scaled-down without compromising the performance. Semiconductor devices are supposed to be reduced in dimensions and work at lower operating biases but the problem arises during the manufacturing of the devices. Thus, it is a dire necessity to opt for a solution that can help in continuing the path of performance improvement. Steady performance enhancement using optimization techniques can support the time required for advancements in fabrication technologies. This publication confines the novel semiconductor devices, issues with conventional devices, optimization techniques and solutions for the performance enhancement. Even with the presence of a vast amount of data regarding semiconductor devices, it is hard for a researcher to go through most of the recent advancements altogether and understand them in a clear way. The motive behind the book is to comprehensibly present the material related to the recent advancements in the field of semiconductor devices that can allow the reader to interpret the possible concepts behind the content. The study of novel semiconductor devices may help in unraveling the mystery behind the problems that are required to tackle during the fabrication of molecular devices.

Jerzy Ruzyllo - Guide to Semiconductor Engineering

Guide to Semiconductor Engineering

Jerzy Ruzyllo¹ (Pennsylvania State University, USA)

World Scientific Book Series. March 2020

This Guide to Semiconductor Engineering is concerned with semiconductor materials, devices and process technologies which in combination are the driving force behind the unprecedented growth of our technical civilization over the last half a century. This book was conceived and written keeping in mind those who need to learn about semiconductor engineering, who are professionally associated with select aspects of this technical domain and want to see it in a broader context, or are simply interested in semiconductors. In its coverage of semiconductor engineering this Guide departs from textbook-style, monothematic in-depth coverage of topics such as the physics of semiconductors and semiconductor devices, the manufacturing of semiconductor devices and circuits, and the characterization of semiconductor materials. Instead, it covers the entire field of semiconductor engineering in one concise volume with synergistic interactions between various areas clearly identified. It is a holistic approach to the coverage of semiconductor engineering which makes this guide unique among books covering semiconductor related issues available on the market today.

Compact Models for Integrated Circuit Design: Conventional Transistors and Beyond provides a modern treatise on compact models for circuit computer-aided design (CAD). Written by an author with more than 25 years of industry experience in semiconductor processes, devices, and circuit CAD, and more than 10 years of academic experience in teaching compact modeling courses, this first-of-its-kind book on compact SPICE models for very-large-scale-integrated (VLSI) chip design offers a balanced presentation of compact modeling crucial for addressing current modeling challenges and understanding new models for emerging devices.

Starting from basic semiconductor physics and covering state-of-the-art device regimes from conventional micron to nanometer, this text:

• Presents industry standard models for bipolar-junction transistors (BJTs), metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) field-effect-transistors (FETs), FinFETs, and tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs), along with statistical MOS models
• Discusses the major issue of process variability, which severely impacts device and circuit performance in advanced technologies and requires statistical compact models
• Promotes further research of the evolution and development of compact models for VLSI circuit design and analysis
