Nanocarbon Electronics

“Future silicon technology is reaching practical and fundamental limits. To go beyond these limits, novel devices and materials are being aggressively studied to continue progress in integrated electronics. Recently carbon-based materials, including carbon nanotubes and graphene, have emerged as potential candidates for nanoscale devices and interconnects. This book gives a comprehensive treatment of materials, devices, and interconnects using these nanocarbons for a variety of applications. It should prove to be very valuable to academic as well as industrial researchers.”

~Prof. Krishna Saraswat, Stanford University, USA

“Nanocarbon is one of the promising materials for future electronics, including both active and passive devices. This book provides a big picture and technical details, state-of-the-art developments, and future prospects in various aspects of carbon-based nanoelectronics.”

~Prof. Yang Chai, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong

“The editors have succeeded in putting together a much needed comprehensive and timely review of the basic science of two amazing nanomaterials, carbon nanotubes and graphene, as well as a realistic assessment of their potential in electronic applications.”

~Prof. Ilesanmi Adesida, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA

“This book focuses on the ‘gap’ between expectations based on the superior performance of nanocarbons and the reality compared with matured high-volume manufacturing in Si-based nanoelectronics. It not only provides a comprehensive source of research activity over the last 30 years but also valuable insight into the direction academia and industry should take.”
