Advances in Semiconductor Technologies Discover the broad sweep of semiconductor technologies in this uniquely curated resource.

Semiconductor technologies and innovations have been the backbone of numerous different fields: electronics, online commerce, the information and communication industry, and the defense industry. For over fifty years, silicon technology and CMOS scaling have been the central focus and primary driver of innovation in the semiconductor industry. Traditional CMOS scaling has approached some fundamental limits, and as a result, the pace of scientific research and discovery for novel semiconductor technologies is increasing with a focus on novel materials, devices, designs, architectures, and computer paradigms. In particular, new computing paradigms and systems—such as quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and Internet of Things—have the potential to unlock unprecedented power and application space.

Advances in Semiconductor Technologies provides a comprehensive overview of selected semiconductor technologies and the most up-to-date research topics, looking in particular at mainstream developments in current industry research and development, from emerging materials and devices, to new computing paradigms and applications. This full-coverage volume gives the reader valuable insights into state-of-the-art advances currently being fabricated, a wide range of novel applications currently under investigation, and a glance into the future with emerging technologies in development.

Integrated circuits (ICs), the backbone of modern electronics, have played a critical role in the significant advancement of modern information technology in the past decades. The ever-increasing level of integration complexity, now featuring multibillion-transistor ICs, has powered numerous complicated tasks covering cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and smart manufacturing. Such complete systems now have been integrated on a few chips or even one single chip. One example of such Systems on Chip (SoC) can be found in the wireless communication chips in smartphones, including analog, digital, and radio-frequency (RF) sections on a single chip. As technology nodes scale into the nanometer era, digital circuits have benefited the most, with significantly boosted computing power. Despite the trend to replace analog functions with digital circuits, e.g. shifting the traditional analog channel selection into digital signal processing, a few typical functions will always remain analog.
