Nanosystems Design and Technology

DeMicheli, et. al., Nanosystems Design and Technology

This book addresses the impact of nanotechnologies on the design of electronic systems. Coverage includes technologies ranging from nanoelectronics to sensing and micro/nanofluidics, and encompassing techniques that bridge the gap between engineering and biology. Since the application space of nanosystems is very vast, Nanosystems Design and Technology focuses on specific topics that exemplify the challenges and opportunities that nanotechnology brings to the system design table.

Addresses state-of-the-art in evolution of nanosystems, including hybrid technologies, integrated sensing and processing;

Presents a multidisciplinary framework for design of heterogeneous, embedded systems (hardware) and corresponding software infrastructure;

Focuses on system-level design that can be applied to numerous applications (e.g., lab-on-chip design, large-scale sensor networks, bio-analysis and synthesis);
