During the past 30 years, the rapid progress of the CMOS digital ICshas brought in the unprecedented advancement in the computer systems.
This book is one of the few books on the CMOS digital IC duringthe past decades, which provides a comprehensive analysis of the technology ,the device, and circuits for the CMOS VLSI in terms of the evolutions and the future trends.
In the this book, starting from the CMOS environment and trends, the basic processing sequences and the evolution of the CMOS technology for the digital ICs are described. Analytical CMOS device models suitable for circuit analysis are described. The silicon-on-insulator(SOI)CMOS devices, which have been well recognized as another major CMOS VLSI technology for next-generation digital ICs, are described. The evolution and the fundamental design techniques of the CMOS logic circuits used in the digital ICs are described. The evolution, the design skills and the future trends of various CMOS memory ICs including ROM, DRAM and SRAM are analyzed.
