Crawley D., Nikolić K., Forshaw M. (Eds.) 3D Nanoelectronic Computer Architecture and Implementation

IOP Publishing Ltd, 2005. — 334 p. — ISBN: 0750310030.It is becoming increasingly clear that the two-dimensional layout of devices on computer chips hinders the development of high-performance computer systems. Three-dimensional structures will be needed to provide the performance required to implement computationally intensive tasks..
3-D Nanoelectronic Computer Architecture and Implementation reviews the state of the art in nanoelectronic device design and fabrication and discusses the architectural aspects of 3-D designs, including the possible use of molecular wiring and carbon nanotube interconnections. This is a valuable reference for those involved in the design and development of nanoelectronic devices and technology.Three-dimensional structures.
