Ein Lehrbuch zu den grundlegenden Verfahren der Mikroelektronik und Integrationstechniken. Grundlage der mikroelektronischen Integrationstechnik ist die Silizium-Halbleitertechnologie. Sie setzt sich aus einer Vielzahl von sich wiederholenden Einzelprozessen zusammen, deren Durchfuhrung und apparative Ausstattung extremen Anforderungen genugen mussen, um die geforderten Strukturgroen bis zu wenigen 10 nm gleichmaig und reproduzierbar zu erzeugen. Das Zusammenspiel der Oxidationen, Atzschritte und Implantationen zur Herstellung von MOS- und Bipolarschaltungen werden - ausgehend vom Rohsilizium bis zur gekapselten integrierten Schaltung - aus Sicht des Anwenders erlautert. Das Buch behandelt neben den Grundlagen auch die technische Durchfuhrung der Einzelprozesse zur Integrationstechnik.In der 6. Auflage ...

This book explores the design of ultra-low-power radio-frequency integrated circuits (RFICs), with communication distances ranging from a few centimeters to a few meters. The authors describe leading-edge techniques to achieve ultra-low-power communication over short-range links. Many different applications are covered, ranging from body-area networks to transcutaneous implant communications and smart-appliance sensor networks. Various design techniques are explained to facilitate each of these applications.

This book provides a broad survey of the field of biochips, including fundamentals of microelectronics and biomaterials interaction with various, living tissues, as well as numerous, diverse applications. Although a wide variety of biochips will be described, there will be a focus on those at the brain-machine interface. Analysis is included of the relationship between different categories of biochips and their interactions with the body and coverage includes wireless remote control of biochips and arrays of microelectrodes, based on new biomaterials.

Formal methods for hardware design still find limited use in industry. Yet current practice has to change to cope with decreasing design times and increasing quality requirements. This research report presents results from the Esprit project FORMAT (formal methods in hardware verification) which involved the collaboration of the enterprises Siemens, Italtel, Telefonica I+D, TGI, and AHL, the research institute OFFIS, and the universities of Madrid and Passau. The work presented involves advanced specification languages for hardware design that are intuitive to the designer, like timing diagrams and state based languages, as well as their relation to VHDL and formal languages like temporal logic and a process-algebraic calculus. The results of experimental tests of the tools are also presented.

seit je her ist man im Ingenieurberuf daran inter­ essiert, ein gegebenes Ziel schnell, effektiv und ohne übertriebenen Aufwand zu erreichen. Dies gilt ganz besonders im Bereich der Elektronik, der ja bekanntlich sehr raschen Veränderungen unterworfen ist. Das Netzwerkanalyseprogramm pspice mi t seinen Hilfsprogrammen ps, Probe und Parts ermöglicht ei­ ne schnelle und effektive Berechnung fast aller interessanten Größen einer gegebenen schaltung, was durch die hohe Benutzerfreundlichkeit noch un­ terstützt wird. Der Konzeption dieses Buches lagen zwei Gedanken zugrunde: Einem unerfahrenen Benutzer soll die Möglichkeit gegeben ~erden, sich ohne großen Zeitaufwand schnell 1n die wichtigsten Möglichkeiten von PSpice einzuarbeiten; gleichsam "an der Hand ge­ nommen" wird er durch leicht verständliche Er­ klärungen geführt, unterstützt durch zahlreiche leicht nachvollziehbare Beispiele. Dem erfahrenen Benutzer soll dieses Buch helfen, auf gesuchte Informationen schnell zugreifen und diese problemlos auswerten zu können. Aus diesen Gründen wurde auf eine Darstellung des mathematisch-physikalisch Hintergrundes, der den Berechnungen und Modellen von PSpice zugrunde liegt, verzichtet; ebenso wurden nur diejenigen Befehle und optionen behandelt, die zu einem praktischen Arbeiten nötig sind. Eine Beschreibung aller Möglichkeiten, die PSpice bietet, hätte den Rahmen dieses Buches bei weiten gesprengt. Der in­ teressierte und erfahrene Leser sei hier auf die englischsprachigen Handbücher der Universität IV Berkeley und der Firma MicroSim Corporation ver­ wiesen oder auf "learning by doing", was beim Ar­ beiten am PC wohl immer noch die wirkungsvollste Lernmethode darstellt.

"This book is a comprehensive text for the design of safety critical, hard real-time embedded systems. It offers  a splendid example for the balanced, integrated treatment of systems and software engineering, helping readers tackle the hardest problems of advanced real-time system design, such as determinism, compositionality, timing and fault management. This book is an essential reading for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in a wide range of disciplines impacted by embedded computing and software. Its conceptual clarity, the style of explanations and the examples make the abstract concepts accessible for a wide audience."Janos Sztipanovits, DirectorE. Bronson Ingram Distinguished Professor of EngineeringInstitute for Software Integrated SystemsVanderbilt UniversityReal-Time Systems focuses on hard real-time systems, which are computing systems that must meet their temporal specification in all anticipated load and fault scenarios. The book stresses the system aspects of distributed real-time applications, treating the issues of real-time, distribution and fault-tolerance from an integral point of view. A unique cross-fertilization of ideas and concepts between the academic and industrial worlds has led to the inclusion of many insightful examples from industry to explain the fundamental scientific concepts in a real-world setting.  Compared to the first edition, new developments in complexity management, energy and power management, dependability, security, and the internet of things, are addressed. The book is written as a standard textbook for a high-level undergraduate or graduate course on real-time embedded systems or cyber-physical systems.  Its practical approach to solving real-time problems, along with numerous summary exercises, makes it an excellent choice for researchers and practitioners alike.

System-on-a-chip (SoC) designs result in a wide range of high-complexity, high-value semiconductor products. As the technology scales towards smaller feature sizes and chips grow larger, a speed limitation arises due to an in­ creased RC delay associated with interconnection wires. Innovative circuit techniques are required to achieve the speed needed for high-performance signal processing. Current sensing is considered as a promising circuit class since it is inherently faster than conventional voltage sense amplifiers. How­ ever, especially in SRAM, current sensing has rarely been used so far. Practi­ cal implementations are challenging because they require sophisticated analog circuit techniques in a digital environment. The objective of this book is to provide a systematic and comprehen­ sive insight into current sensing techniques. Both theoretical and practical aspects are covered. Design guidelines are derived by systematic analysis of different circuit principles. Innovative concepts like compensation of the bit­ line multiplexer and auto-power-down will be explained based on theory and experimental results. The material will be interesting for design engineers in industry as well as researchers who want to learn about and apply current sensing techniques. The focus is on embedded SRAM but the material presented can be adapted to single-chip SRAM and to any other current-providing memory type as well. This includes emerging memory technologies like magnetic RAM (MRAM) and Ovonic Unified Memory (OUM). Moreover, it is also applicable to array­ like structures such as CMOS camera chips and to circuits for signal trans­ mission along highly capacitive busses.

This is the first book to comprehensively record the authors' authoritative knowledge and practical experience of IC manufacturing, including the tremendous developments of recent years. With its strong application orientation, this is a must-have book for professionals in semiconductor industries.
