Nowadays CMOS technologies account for almost 90 of all integrated circuitsICs. This book provides an essential introduction to CMOS ICs. The contentsof this book are based upon a previous publication entitled MOS Ics whichwas published in Dutch and English by Delta Press Amerongen The Netherlands1990 and VCH Weinheim Germany 1992 respectively. This book containsstateoftheart material but also focuses on aspects of scaling up to andbeyond 0.1 mm CMOS technologies and designs. It clearly describes thefundamental CMOS operating principles and presents substantial insight intovarious aspects of design implementation and application. In contrast to otherworks on this topic the book explores all associated disciplines of deepsubmicron CMOS ICs including physics design technology and packaging lowpower design and signal integrity. The text is based upon inhouse Philipscourseware which to date has been completed by more than 1500 engineers.Carefully structured and enriched by hundreds of figures photograhs and indepth exercises the book is wellsuited for the purpose of selfstudy. Thissecond edition contains some corrections and is completely updated with respectto the previous one. In the oneandahalf years of its existance the firstedition has already been used in more than ten inhouse courses. Several typingerrors and the like which showed up during these courses have been corrected.Moreover most of the chapters have been updated with stateoftheartmaterial. Numbers that describe trends and roadmaps have been updated as wellto let the contents of this book be valuable for at least another five years. «
