About the Author

Charles Hawkins has been teaching undergraduate and graduate EE courses in digital and analog electronics for over 30 years and has been teaching short courses to the chip industry in the USA, Europe, Canada, and Australia for 25 years. He has completed on-site research projects with Sandia National Labs, Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, Philips Semiconductors, and Philips Research Lab and has co-authored three books on CMOS electronics and circuit analysis. Jaume Segura is a Professor in the Physics Department at the Universitat de les Iles Balears in Spain. He has taught graduate courses in VLSI design and microelectronics test engineering as well as undergraduate courses in digital and analog electronics and microprocessors and logic design. He has conducted extensive research or consulted with Intel, Airbus, and Philips Semiconductor and is the coauthor of two CMOS electronic books. Payman Zarkesh-Ha is a Professor in the ECE Department at the University of New Mexico (UNM). He teaches graduate and undergraduate VLSI, digital, and analog electronics. Prior to joining UNM, he worked for five years at LSI Logic Corporation, where he developed interconnect architecture design for the next ASIC generations. He has published over 60 refereed papers and holds 12 issued patents. His research interests are statistical modeling of nanoelectronic devices and systems, and design for manufacturability, low-power, and high performance VLSI designs.
