Praise for the First Edition:

“There is quite a wide array of topics in thishandbook, and it can certainly be interesting anduseful to read about what others are doing innanotechnology to get your own ideas. This bookgives the reader access to a huge wealth of ideasthat may spur new ideas in the area of nanotech-nology they are working in.”

—IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, July/August 2008

In his 1959 address, “There is Plenty of Room atthe Bottom,” Richard P. Feynman speculatedabout manipulating materials atom by atom andchallenged the technical community “to findways of manipulating and controlling things ona small scale.” This visionary challenge has nowbecome a reality, with recent advances enablingatomistic-level tailoring and control of materials.

Exemplifying Feynman’s vision, Handbook ofNanoscience, Engineering, and Technology,Third Edition continues to explore innovativenanoscience, engineering, and technologyareas. Along with updating all chapters, thisthird edition extends the coverage of emergingnano areas even further. Two entirely new sec-tions on energy and biology cover nanomateri-als for energy storage devices, photovoltaics,DNA devices and assembly, digital microfluidiclab-on-a-chip, and much more.

“Even if you thought you understood magnetism,it is likely that you would learn a lot … Manybooks on magnetism end where Vittoria’s is justbeginning. … An unusual feature of Vittoria’sbook are the solutions that are included to theproblems at the end of each chapter. These solu-tions form a lengthy set of examples for sortingout the many theories and models now used intrying to understand magnetism. … If you makemagnetism your profession, or are just casuallyinvolved with magnetic materials, it is worthreading a book such as Vittoria’s. … about asapproachable as this subject can get.

Integrated Circuits

SemiconductorsIntegrated Circuit Design for ManufacturabilityArtur BalasinskiCypress Semiconductor, San Diego, California, USA

Because of the continuous evolution of integrat-ed circuit manufacturing (ICM) and design formanufacturability (DfM), most books on thesubject are obsolete before they even go topress. That’s why the field requires a referencethat takes the focus off of numbers and concen-trates more on larger economic concepts thanon technical details. Semiconductors: Integrated Circuit Design forManufacturability covers the gradual evolutionof integrated circuit design (ICD) as a basis topropose strategies for improving return-on-investment (ROI) for ICD in manufacturing.Where most books put the spotlight on detailedengineering enhancements and their implica-tions for device functionality, in contrast, thisone offers crucial, valuable historical backgroundand roadmapping—all illustrated with exam-ples. The book shows that DfM is a powerful genericengineering concept with potential extendingbeyond its usual application in automated layoutenhancements centered on proximity correctionand pattern density. This material explores theconcept of ICD for production by breakingdown its major steps: product definition, design,layout, and manufacturing. Circumventing extended discussion of technolo-gy, techniques, or specific device dimensions,the author also avoids the clumsy chapter archi-tecture that can hinder other books on this sub-ject. The result is an extremely functional, sys-tematic presentation that simplifies existingapproaches to DfM, outlining a clear set of cri-teria to help readers assess reliability, functional-ity, and yield.


With careful consideration of the economic andtechnical trade-offs involved in ICD for manufac-turing, this reference addresses techniques forphysical, electrical, and logical design. It keepsthe coverage fresh and concise for the designers,manufacturers, and researchers defining productarchitecture and research programs.

• Presents actual test cases of manufacturingand product challenges and lists the possiblesolutions

• Demonstrates how to select the right strategy based on engineering grading and the best way to implement it

• Addresses semiconductor technology andEDA issues

• Covers ROI, design maturity, and manufacturing for logical, electrical, andphysical design

Fundamentalsof ElectricalEngineeringCharles A. Gross andThaddeus A. RoppelAuburn University, Alabama, USA

Written by two renowned engineers, this textprovides an overview of the profession for engi-neering professionals and students whose spe-cialization lies in areas other than electrical engi-neering (EE). Simple and easy to use, yet morethan sufficient in rigor and coverage of funda-mental concepts, this resource teaches EE funda-mentals but omits the typical analytical methodsthat hold little relevance for the audience. Theauthors provide many examples to illustrateconcepts and problems to help readers under-stand and apply the material. In many cases, books for non-EEs presentwatered-down classical EE material, resulting inunpopular courses that students hate and seniorfaculty members understandingly avoid teach-ing. To remedy this situation—and create morewell-rounded practitioners—the authors focuson the true EE needs of non-EEs, as determinedthrough their own teaching experience as wellas significant input from non-EE faculty. Theyprovide several important contemporary inter-disciplinary examples to support this approach.The result is a full-color modern narrative thatbridges the various EE and non-EE curricula,enabling a truly relevant course that studentsand faculty can both enjoy.

They also coverHamming, Golay, BCH, Reed–Solomon, LDPC,Tornado, and the Fountain family of codes, aswell as Galois fields, distributions, and beliefpropagation.


TechnicalWritingA Practical Guide for Engineers andScientistsPhillip A. LaplanteThe Pennsylvania StateUniversity, Malvern, USA

This guide enables readers to write, edit, andpublish materials of a technical nature, includingbooks, articles, reports, and electronic media.Complementing the traditional writer’s referencemanuals and other books on technical writing, ithelps readers understand the practical considera-tions in writing technical content. Drawing on hisown widely published work, the author presentsmany first-hand examples of writing, editing,and publishing technical materials. These exam-ples illustrate how a publication originated aswell as various challenges and solutions.

Contracts for EngineersIntellectual Property,Standards, andEthicsRobert D. HunterRobert D. Hunter Associates,Austin, Texas, USA

This book enhances engineers’ ability to com-municate contractual issues to lawyers and thenbetter understand the consequent legal advicethey receive. The text introduces the relatedsubjects of intellectual property (includingpatents, copyright, trademarks, and tradesecrets) and standards (including conformityassessment and accreditation). The author alsoaddresses the role of ethics at both the microand macro levels, highlighting the collapse ofBoston’s Big Dig, the oil spill in the Gulf ofMexico, and other accidents.

Anupama B. KaulNational Science Foundation, Arlington, Virginia, USA

“… the book marks a milestone by capturing thecurrent status of research and development. …”—Héctor J. De Los Santos, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology

“Excellent topics covering fundamental limits in scaling down silicon-based semiconductors to recentpromises in nanowire-based devices. … an excellentchoice for readers ranging from engineering studentsto the experts in the field.”

—Anirudha V. Sumant, Argonne National Laboratory

“Dr. Kaul has done an excellent job covering thefield objectively. …”

—James Stasiak, Hewlett-Packard Company

“More importantly, this book emphasizes manufacturability, which is a distinction from otherbooks on similar topics that mostly discuss theoretical principles.”

—Xing Cheng, Texas A&M University
