Mems Silicon Oscillating Accelerometers and Readout Circuits (River Publishers Series in Circuits and Systems)
Most MEMS accelerometers on the market today are capacitive accelerometers that are based on the displacement sensing mechanism. This book is intended to cover recent developments of MEMS silicon oscillating accelerometers (SOA), also referred to as MEMS resonant accelerometer. As contrast to the capacitive accelerometer, the MEMS SOA is based on the force sensing mechanism, where the input acceleration is converted to a frequency output.

3D Integration for VLSI Systems
Three-dimensional (3D) integration is identified as a possible avenue for continuous performance growth in integrated circuits (IC) as the conventional scaling approach is faced with unprecedented challenges in fundamental and economic limits. Wafer level 3D IC can take several forms, and they usually include a stack of several thinned IC layers that are vertically bonded and interconnected by through silicon via TSV. There is a long string of benefits that one can derive from 3D IC implementa...

Silicon Carbide One-dimensional Nanostructures
by Laurence Latu-Romain and Maelig Ollivier
Dedicated to SiC-based 1D nanostructures, this book explains the properties and different growth methods of these nanostructures. It details carburization of silicon nanowires, a growth process for obtaining original Si-SiC core-shell nanowires and SiC nanotubes of high crystalline quality, thanks to the control of the siliconout-diffusion. The potential applications of these particular nano-objects is also discussed, with regards to their eventual integration in biology, energy and electronics.

A comprehensive overview, this book focuses on two directions of study: discovery of new effects that take place in magnetic wires and optimization of the magnetic, electrical, and mechanical properties of the wires, taking into account the technological application. The book presents the idea of moving to nanoscale, maintaining the achieved optimal parameters of microwires. While the focus remains on glass-covered wires of micrometer scale, it covers the first steps of the movement to "nano" ra...
Nanotechnology (Ethics of Science and Technology Assessment, #27)
by Harald Brune, Holger Ernst, and Armin Grunwald
The study tackles the subject in a new and unique way: Due to the fact that the borders between classical academic disciplines disappear at the nanoscale, a truly interdisciplinary approach is chosen. A functional definition of nanotechnology is developed by the authors as basis for the further sections of the study. The most important results enable recommendations with respect to scientific progress, industrial relevance, economic potential, educational needs, potential adverse health effects...
From the reviews: Computer Communications "Although the concept of ISDN has been with us now for over a decade, and much development work has been carried out du- ring this period, there are very few comprehensive books available on the subject. This is perhaps one of the best of them.The book aims to provide engineers and potential engi- neers with an overview of the requirements and features of ISDN that will be useful in thedesign, construction and operation of such systems. The author and h...
