VLSI Micro- and Nanophotonics Science, Technology, and Applications Edited by
El-Hang Lee, Louay A. Eldada, Manijeh Razeghi, and Chennupati Jagadish Addressing the growing demand for larger capacity in information technology, this volume looks at solutions involving science and technology of micro/nano-scale photonics and integration for broad-scale and chip-scale VLSI photonics. Very little effort has been made to develop integration technologies for micro/nanoscale photonic devices and applications, so this reference is an important and necessary early-stage perspective on this field. New demand for VLSI photonics brings into play various technological and scientific issues, as well as evolutionary and revolutionary challenges—all of which are discussed in this book. These include topics such as miniaturization, interconnection, and integration of photonic devices at micron, submicron, and nanometer scales. With its “disruptive creativity” and unparalleled coverage of the photonics revolution in information technology, this book should greatly impact the future of micro/nanophotonics and IT as a whole. It offers a comprehensive overview of the science and engineering of micro/nanophotonics and photonic integration. Many books on micro/nanophotonics focus on understanding the properties of individual devices and their related characteristics. However, this book offers a full perspective from the point of view of integration, covering all aspects of benefits and advantages of VLSI-scale photonic integration—the key technical concept in developing a platform to make individual devices and components useful and practical for various applications.
Digital Integrated Circuits Analysis and Design, Second Edition John E. Ayers University of Connecticut, Storrs, USA
With four new chapters, more than 200 new illustrations, numerous worked examples, case studies, and online support, this second edition significantly expands concepts presented in the first edition. This edition focuses on timeless principles with a modern interdisciplinary view that will serve integrated circuits engineers from all disciplines for years to come. Providing a revised instructional reference for engineers involved with VLSI circuit design and fabrication, the book delves into the dramatic advances in the field, including new applications and changes in the physics of operation made possible by relentless miniaturization.
Emphasizes deep-subnicron CMOS Technology The text bridges the void between books on transistor electronics and those covering VLSI design and fabrication as a separate topic. Like the first edition, this one is a crucial link for integrated circuit engineers and those studying the field, supplying the cross-disciplinary connections they require for guidance in more advanced work. The author uses SPICE level 1 computer simulation models but introduces BSIM models that are indispensable for VLSI design. This enables users to develop a strong and intuitive sense of device and circuit design by drawing direct connections between the hand analysis and the SPICE models.

The book’s carefully chosen examples teach easily transferrable skills that will help readers optimize routines and significantly streamline coding, especially in the embedded space. This book is easily adaptable for classroom use. Instructors can access features that include a solutions manual, assembly language basics, problems, and actual code. The book also provides access to a fully functional evaluation version of the RealView Microcontroller Development Kit from Keil. While it is still an important skill, getting good instruction in assembly language is not easy. The availability of languages such as C and Java foster the belief that engineers and programmers need only address problems at the highest levels of a program's operation. Yet, even modern coding methods, when done well, require an understanding of basic assembly methods such as those gained by learning ARM. Certain features that are the product of today’s hardware, such as coprocessors or saturated math operations, can be accessed only through the hardware’s native instructions. For that matter, any programmer wishing to achieve results as exact as his or her intentions needs to possess a mastery of machine code basics as taught in the pages of this book.
Features • Provides access to a fully functional evaluation version of the RealView Microcrontroller Development Kit from Keil • Reviews computing systems in general, with a brief history of ARM included in the discussion of RISC architecture • Covers all required arithmetic operations, including an optional section on fractional notation • Supplies a wide range of invaluable case studies and examples throughout the text

He then describes applications of PSPICE and MATLAB for problem solving. Applications covered include diodes, operational amplifiers, and transistor circuits. This second edition continues to provide an introduction to PSPICE and a simple, hands-on overview of MATLAB. It also demonstrates the combined power of PSPICE and MATLAB for solving electronics problems. The book encourages readers to explore the characteristics of semiconductor devices using PSPICE and MATLAB and apply the two software packages for analyzing electronic circuits and systems.
New to the Second Edition • Updated MATLAB topics • Schematic capture and text-based PSPICE netlists in several chapters • New chapter on PSPICE simulation using the ORCAD schematic capture program
With examples from mathematics, mechanical and electrical engineering, and control and signal processing, this book provides an introduction to MATLAB® and Simulink® and examines the advantages and limitations of both. It explores the benefits of how to use MATLAB to solve problems and process and present calculations and experimental results. The author also briefly introduces more advanced features of the software, such as objectoriented programming, and emphasizes some specialized toolboxes.
The book includes demonstrations of how to: • Visualize the results of calculations in various kinds of graphical representations • Write useful script files and functions for solving specific problems • Avoid disastrous computational errors • Convert calculations into technical reports and insert calculations and graphs into either MS Word or LaTeX Using selected examples of computer-aided errors, the author explains that the set of computer numbers is discrete and bounded—a feature that can cause catastrophic errors if not properly taken into account.
