This series presents the latest developments of a focused area in circuits and systems with in-depth discussions on design issues, considerations, trade-offs and challenges from the silicon perspectives. This includes 3D integrated circuit and system with comprehensive coverage at multiple levels. For example: device, circuit and system; Low-power and highly sensitive circuits and systems for medical and neural applications; and Embedded memory design in nano-scale CMOS technologies that extend the capabilities of information technology beyond digital logic. Various low-power innovative techniques, new design methodologies, 3D processing, circuit analysis and case studies are demonstrated. Special attention is placed on reliability issues and device variability at low voltage operation.
