Reviews

"This book covers recent trends and technologies of Si nanoscale devices, from cutting-edge transistors to qubits (quantum bits). It is a good book for graduate students and researchers to learn briefly about basic physics and the recent trends of silicon nanoscale devices."
—Koji Ishibashi, Advanced Device Laboratory, Riken, Japan"It is remarkable that this book offers a large overview of carrier transport mechanisms and device physics while it is strictly focused on silicon technology. For instance, topics like spintronics, single-electron transfer, spin-based qubits, and nonvolatile magnetoelectronic devices are rarely approached on the point of view of silicon material and technology."
—Philippe Dollfus, CNRS – University of Paris-Sud, Orsay, France"The authors put together the hottest topics that the nanoelectronics community is currently debating. … a good reference for researchers and/or educators who are interested in the physical challenges of future electronic devices based on charge, spin transfer, or mechanical actuation and sensing."
—Simon Deleonibus, CEA, LETI, France "Very comprehensive book … written with great clarity by world-leading experts in the field. ... The topics are well selected and cover most of the subjects related to nanoscale silicon devices. … includes plenty of references for anyone who wants to get deeper."
—Tomás González, Applied Physics Department, University of Salamanca, Spain
