Intuitive CMOS Electronics: The Revolution in VLSI, Processing, Packaging, and Design

In engineering electronics this is the era of very large-scale integration (VLSI). This is the first authoritative text to trace the important steps in the evolution of IC processes-from the early p-channel MOS technology, through PMOS & NMOS, to the state of the art in CMOS VLSI. Concurrent advances in wafer fabrication are also described. The practical applications-of standard circuits, custom ICs, & high lead count IC packages, for example-are then examined from the standpoint of suppliers & customers. The author also scans the new frontiers: the potential of new digital architectures, silicon circuits, VLSI software & gallium arsenide ICs-An excellent sourcework for those who design, produce, purchase & work with electronic technology.Frederiksen, Thomas M. is the author of 'Intuitive CMOS Electronics: The Revolution in VLSI, Processing, Packaging, and Design' with ISBN 9780070219700 and ISBN 0070219702.
