"It is a pleasure to write the foreword for this book because of its timeliness, because of its excellent breadth and depth of coverage, which captures most key facets of the field, and because its editor, Dr. Anupama Kaul, is an esteemed collaborator of mine in MEMS and nanotechnologies research. Indeed, her expertise and excellent reputation in the field derives from her extensive work on the development of carbon nanotubes (CNTs)- and carbon nanofibers (CNFs)-based devices conducted at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology. … she is uniquely qualified to edit such an ambitious piece of work, gathering contributions from a stellar roster of top researchers in the field. … the book marks a milestone by capturing the current status of research and development. Therefore, it is of extreme value to both established researchers as well as newcomers who aim at discovering and exploiting the vast space available at the bottom!"
—From the Foreword by Dr. Héctor J. De Los Santos, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany
"Excellent topics covering fundamental limits in scaling down silicon based semiconductors to recent promises in nanowire based devices. ... Overall, this book would be an excellent choice for readers ranging from engineering students to the experts in the field."
—Anirudha V. Sumant, Argonne National Laboratory, Illinois, USA
"… Dr. Kaul has done an excellent job covering the field objectively. The collection touches on very fundamental work in this field but also represents examples of how the evolution from microelectronics to nanoelectronics have resulted in successful products and innovations. As I state above, the contents (and authors) provide an excellent cross section of this field."
—James Stasiak, Hewlett-Packard Company
"Overall, this is an excellent reference book for researchers and educators in the areas of microelectronics and nanoelectronics. … More importantly, this book emphasizes on manufacturability, which is a distinction from other books on similar topics which mostly discuss theoretical principles."
—Xing Cheng, Texas A&M University, USA
"… provides comprehensive knowledge on nanoelectronics and the relatred materials processing and manufacturing technology. It also gives a nice introduction to nanoscale device fabrication. In addition, the latest advances and research results are included. The book has a nice balance between introducing fundamentals of nanoscale device fabrication and the in-depth knowledge in the field of nanomanufacturing. a nice reference for both researchers in the field and students who want to learn more …"
