Mobile radio communications are evolving from pure telephony systems to multimedia platforms offering a variety of services ranging from simple file transfers and audio and video streaming, to interactive applications and positioning tasks. Naturally, these services have different constraints concer ...

The explosion in demand for wireless services experienced over the past 20 years has put significant pressure on system designers to increase the capacity of the systems being deployed. While the spectral resource is very scarce and practically exhausted, the biggest possibilities are predicted to b ...

This book paves the path toward fourth generation (4G) mobile communica- tion by introducing mobility in heterogeneous IP networks with both third generation (3G) and wireless local area networks (WLANs), which is seen as one of the central issues in the becoming 4G of telecommunications networks an ...

Electrostatic discharge  (ESD)  events  can  have serious detrimental effects  on  the manufacture  and  performance of microelectronic devices, the systems that contain them,  and  the manufacturing facilities used  to produce them. Submicron d ...

This text, ESD Basics: From Semiconductor Manufacturing to Product Use was initiated on the need to produce a text that addresses fundamentals of electrostatic discharge from the manufacturing environment to today’s products. As the manufacturing world evolves, semi- conductor networks scale, and s ...

Applications of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and microfabrica- tion have spread to different fields of engineering and science in recent years. Perhaps the most exciting development in the application of MEMS technol- ogy has occurred in the biological and biomedical areas. In addition to k ...

The planarization technology of Chemical-Mechanical-Polishing (CMP), used for the manufacturing of multi- level metal interconnects for high-density Integrated Circuits (IC), is also readily adaptable as an enabling technology in MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) fabrication, particularly polysi ...

Five years have passed since the first edition of this book was published.Over the five years,the world has witnessed a technological revolution headlined by an array of exciting consumer and industrial products such as the Nintendo Wii, Apple iPod/iPad, sensor-rich smart phones, phones with cameras ...

For more than three decades, Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) have steadily transitioned out of research labs and into production forming a more than $10 billion market [1]. MEMS devices such as accelerometers, pressure sensors and microphones, to name a few, have seen immense utilization, pa ...

Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) are miniature systems composed ofintegratedelectricalandmechanicalpartstosenseand/orcontrolthingsonaµmscale. The concept of MEMS is attributed to Richard Feynman’s famous talk on December 29th, 1959 [2,3]. Dr. Feynman foresaw many aspects of future MEMS deve ...
