Reviews

... is an outstanding compendium of information about an exciting new field. Owing to its high quality and complete coverage of the many topics in this area, this well referenced book will have a long and very useful life as a primary text for students experienced and new in nanoelectronics. It is a very impressive book. Prof. Richard Siegel, US Nano-Initiative

Author Information

"The Editor: Rainer Waser is Professor of Physics at the faculty for Electrical Engineering and Information Technology of the RWTH Aachen University and Director at the Institute of Solid State Research (IFF) at the HGF Research Center Julich, Germany. In 1984, he received his PhD in physical chemistry at the University of Darmstadt, and worked at the Philips Research Laboratory, Aachen, until he was appointed professor in 1992. His research group is focused on fundamental aspects of electronic materials and on such integrated devices as non-volatile memories, specifically ferroelectric memories, logic devices, sensors and actuators. Throughout, he has been collaborating with major semiconductor industries in Europe, the US, and the Far East. He has been honored with the IEEE ""Ferroelectrics Recognition Award 2000"". Rainer Waser has organized several international conferences, published about 200 technical papers and holds ten patents. Since 2001, he has been the coordinator of the research program Information Technology and Nanoelectronics within the German National Research Centers (Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft)."
