ABSTRACT
Since its invention, the integrated circuit technology has allowed to
put on the same piece of semiconductor from a fewworking devices,
at its very beginning, to tens of billions nowadays. The increasing
complexity of integrated circuits qualifies them as intelligent
nanosystems. The Pan Stanford Series on Intelligent Nanosystems
will include several books aiming at reviewing all aspects of active
and passive device physics, their technology, and device to system
architectures.
