Handbook of Thin Film Deposition Processes and Techniques
by Krishna Seshan
This book proposes alternative switched capacitor techniques which allow the achievement of higher intrinsic analogue functional accuracy than previously possible in such application areas as analogue filter and ADC design. The validity of the concepts developed and analyzed in Switched-Capacitor Techniques for High-Accuracy Filter and ADC Design has been demonstrated in practice with the design of CMOS SC bandpass filters and algorithmic ADC stages.

CCD Image Sensors in Deep-Ultraviolet (Microtechnology and MEMS)
by Flora Li and Arokia Nathan
As the deep-ultraviolet (DUV) laser technology continues to mature, an increasing number of industrial and manufacturing applications are emerging. For example, the new generation of semiconductor inspection systems is being pushed to image at increasingly shorter DUV wavelengths to facilitate inspection of deep sub-micron features in integrated circuits. DUV-sensitive charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras are in demand for these applications. Although CCD cameras that are responsive at DUV wavele...
Real-Time Applications with Stochastic Task Execution Times
by Sorin Manolache, Petru Eles, and Zebo Peng
This book presents three approaches to the analysis of the deadline miss ratio of applications with stochastic task execution times. Each best fits a different context: an exact one efficiently applicable to monoprocessor systems; an approximate one, which allows for designer-controlled trade-off between analysis accuracy and analysis speed; and one less accurate but sufficiently fast in order to be placed inside optimization loops.
