Nanosystems Design and Technology

This book examines the impact of nanotechnologies on the design of electronic systems. Coverage includes technologies ranging from nanoelectronics to sensing and micro/nanofluidics and encompasses techniques that bridge the gap between engineering and biology.

Nanosystems use new, nanoscopic electrical and/or mechanical devices which, as constituents of electronic and electromechanical systems, find application primarily in computing, embedded control and biomedical data acquisition. In particular, this book will deal with the characterization and patterning of these materials from an engineering perspective, with the objective of creating operational prototypes and products.

The book will integrate various nano technologies on materials, devices and systems and identify key areas and results. The book will describe different design aspects for integrated systems on silicon, as well as on heterogeneous platforms including, but not limited to, electrical, optical, micromechanical and biological components in various forms and mixtures. By associating research topics from differing horizons, the book will provide a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between electronics/electrical engineering and materials science. The book will include topics at the intersection of these disciplines, and will interface with computer science, biology and medicine.

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) Content and approach is consistent with the Humanitarian Technology Challenge (a collaboration between the IEEE and the UN Foundation) Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
