About this book

"Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) technology has been one of the greatest driving forces in the advancement of solid-state technology. With its ability to produce high product volumes and low pricing, it forces solid-state memory manufacturers to work aggressively to cut costs while maintaining, if not increasing, their market share. As a result, the state of the art continues to advance owing to the tremendous pressure to get more memory chips from each silicon wafer, primarily through process scaling and clever design." "From a team of engineers working in memory circuit design, DRAM Circuit Design gives students and practicing chip designers an easy-to-follow, yet thorough, introductory treatment of the subject. Focusing on the chip designer rather than the end user, this volume offers expanded, up-to-date coverage of DRAM circuit design by presenting both standard and high-speed implementations. Additionally, it explores a range of topics: the DRAM array, peripheral circuitry, global circuitry and considerations, voltage converters, synchronization in DRAMs, data path design, and power delivery. Additionally, this up-to-date and comprehensive book features topics in high-speed design and architecture and the ever increasing speed requirements of memory circuits." "The only book that covers the breadth and scope of the subject under one cover, DRAM Circuit Design is an introduction for students in courses on memory circuit design or advanced digital courses in VLSI or CMOS circuit design. It also serves as an essential, one-stop resource for academics, researchers, and practicing engineers."--Jacket.

Epioptics

J.F. McGilp, D. Weaire, C.H. Patterson, eds

This book describes recent developments in optical techniques for extracting surface and interface information with a resolution of less than a single atomic layer. These new "epioptic" techniques have now been quite widely applied to semiconductor surfaces and interfaces, and include polarised reflection techniques such as reflection anisotropy spectroscopy and spectroscopic ellipsometry, Raman scattering, and optical second harmonic and sum frequency generation. Epioptics has great potential in the area of growth monitoring, and in situ monitoring of semiconductor growth with submonolayer sensitivity has now been demonstrated in growth reactors under normal operating conditions. The book emphasizes recent studies of submonolayer growth on semiconductor surfaces.

Electronic transport in mesoscopic systems

Supriyo Datta

Recent advances in technology have made it possible to fabricate structures whose dimensions are much smaller than the mean free path of an electron. This is the first text-book to give a thorough account of the theory of electronic transport in such mesoscopic systems. Important concepts are illustrated by reference to relevant experimental results. The book begins with a chapter summarizing the necessary background material. The next chapter introduces the 'transmission formalism' which is widely used in describing mesoscopic transport. The applicability of this formalism to different transport regimes is examined and practical methods for evaluating the transmission function are discussed. This formalism is then used to describe three key topics in mesoscopic physics: quantum Hall effect, localization, and double-barrier tunneling. Optical analogies to mesoscopic phenomena are discussed briefly. The book closes with a simple intuitive description of the non-equilibrium Green's function formalism and its relation to the transmission formalism. Emphasizing basic concepts and techniques throughout, and complete with problems and solutions, the book will be of great interest to graduate students as well as to established researchers interested in mesoscopic physics and nanoelectronics.

Semiconductors - Basic Data

Otfried Madelung

The large handbooks in physics, chemistry and other disciplines contain data needed every day as well as additional equally important data needed only at longer time intervals. This volume contains the basic data and a full list of contents of the respective Landolt-Börnstein volumes from which the data were drawn. Hence the user is informed what additional information is held at his disposal in the more complete handbooks, i.e. this volume provides a bridge from the laboratory to the library. It contains data and further information about semiconducting substances.

The human nervous system

Jürgen K. Mai, George Paxinos

The previous two editions of the Human Nervous System have been the standard reference for the anatomy of the central and peripheral nervous system of the human. The work has attracted nearly 2000 citations, demonstrating that it has a major influence in the field of neuroscience. The third edition is a complete and updated revision, with new chapters covering genes and anatomy, gene expression studies, and glia cells. The book continues to be an excellent companion to the Atlas of the Human Brain, and a common nomenclature throughout the book is enforced. Physiological data, functional concepts, and correlates to the neuroanatomy of the major model systems (rat and mouse) as well as brain function round out the new edition. *Adopts standard nomenclature following the new scheme by Paxinos, Watson, and Puelles and aligned with the Mai et al. Atlas of the Human Brain (new edition in 2007) * Full color throughout with many new and significantly enhanced illustrations * Provides essential reference information for users in conjunction with brain atlases for the identification of brain structures, the connectivity between different areas, and to evaluate data collected in anatomical, physiological, pharmacological, behavioural, and imaging studies.
