Publisher's Synopsis
VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) results from the optimum integration of a broad range of technologies and disciplines, including architectures, software, circuits and semiconductor physics. VLSI is fundamentally interdisciplinary in nature and this will become increasingly so in the future as the requirements for greater complexity and performance grow. With the general tendency for specialisation of human skills, the goal of encompassing all the knowledge necessary to make such progress is indeed challenging. This volume provides a broad ranging interdisciplinary exploration of VLSI by specialists and aims to stimulate further research in this exciting area.
