Future Trends in Microelectronics [PDF ebook] 
Up the Nano Creek

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:

* Does CMOS technology have a real problem?

* Do transistors have to be smaller or just better and made of
better materials?

* What is to come after semiconductors?

* Superconductors or molecular conductors?

* Is bottom-up self-assembling the answer to the limitation of
top-down lithography?

* Is it time for Optics to become a force in computer
evolution?

* Quantum Computing, Spintronics?

* Where is the printable plastic electronics proposed 10 years
ago?

* Are carbon nanotube transistors the CMOS of the future?
