Summary
Summary
This book provides a broad overview of nanotechnology as applied to contemporary electronics and photonics. The areas of application described are typical of what originally set off the nanotechnology revolution. An account of original research contributions from researchers all over the world, the book is extremely valuable for gaining an understanding of the latest developments in applied nanotechnology. Clearly structured and readable, the book is useful for both students and researchers alike: students can learn about the various aspects of nanotechnology, and professional researchers can update themselves on the new developments in this dynamic field.
The book covers nanoscale materials and devices for both electronics and optical technologies. The emphasis throughout is on experimental methods rather than theoretical modeling. The material will provide food for thought for researchers and research students keen to develop new technologies at the ultra-small scale and to open up new avenues for research.
Author Notes
Faiz Rahman has been involved with nanoscale semiconductor devices for more than 17 years. With varied interests in materials science, physics and electronics engineering and experience in both academic and industrial research he has the right blend of background and experience required to survey the global state-of-the-art in Nanotechnology. As a member of the Electronics and Electrical Engineering faculty of the University of Glasgow, Dr Rahman is involved with research on sub-micron transistors and on photonic crystal light emitting diodes. Before joining the University of Glasgow he worked at Cypress Semiconductor Corporation as a senior technology development engineer. Prior to that he was involved for several years with a NASA/ESA project at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California. Dr Rahman holds several academic and professional qualifications, has written many papers and articles and is a senior member of the IEEE.
