Summary

For upper level and graduate level Electrical and Computer Engineering courses in Integrated Circuit Design as well as professional circuit designers, engineers and researchers working in portable wireless communications hardware.

This book presents the fundamentals of Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) and Bipolar compatible Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (BiCMOS) technology, as well as the latest technological advances in the field. It discusses the concepts and techniques of new integrated circuit design for building high performance and low power circuits and systems for current and future very-large-scale-integration (VLSI) and giga-scale-integration (GSI) applications. CMOS/BiCMOS ULSI: Low-Voltage Low-Power is an essential resource for every professional moving toward lower voltage, lower power, and higher performance VLSI circuits and subsystems design.
