Future Trends in Microelectronics

In this book leading profesionals in the semiconductor microelectronics field discuss the future evolution of their profession. The following are some of the questions discussed: <ul> <li>Does CMOS technology have a real problem?</li> <li>Do transistors have to be smaller or just better and made of better materials?</li> <li>What is to come after semiconductors?</li> <li>Superconductors or molecular conductors?</li> <li>Is bottom-up self-assembling the answer to the limitation of top-down lithography?</li> <li>Is it time for Optics to become a force in computer evolution?</li> <li>Quantum Computing, Spintronics?</li> <li>Where is the printable plastic electronics proposed 10 years ago?</li> <li>Are carbon nanotube transistors the CMOS of the future?</li> </ul>
