Micro-Relay Technology for Energy-Efficient Integrated Circuits [Hardcover]

This volume describes the design of relay-based circuit systems from device fabrication to circuit micro-architectures. This book is ideal for both device engineers as well as circuit system designers, and highlights the importance of co-design across design hierarchies when trying to optimize system performance (in this case, energy-efficiency). The book will also appeal to researchers and engineers focused on semiconductor, integrated circuits, and energy efficient electronics.

A New Era of Old Electronics.- Design and Modeling of Micro-Relay.- Micro-Relay Technologies.- Micro-Relay Reliability.- Optimization and Scaling of Micro-Relays for Ultra-Low-Power Digital Logic.- Integrated Circuit Design with Micro-Relays.- Micro-Relay Circuits for VLSI Applications.
