The chips in present-day cell phones already contain billions of
sub-100-nanometer transistors. By 2020, however, we will see
systems-on-chips with trillions of 10-nanometer transistors. But
this will be the end of the miniaturization, because yet smaller
transistors, containing just a few control atoms, are subject to
statistical fluctuations and thus no longer useful. We also need to
worry about a potential energy crisis, because in less than five
years from now, with current chip technology, the internet alone
would consume the total global electrical power! This book presents
a new, sustainable roadmap towards ultra-low-energy (femto-Joule),
high-performance electronics. The focus is on the energy-efficiency
of the various chip functions: sensing, processing, and
communication, in a top-down spirit involving new architectures
such as silicon brains, ultra-low-voltage circuits, energy
harvesting, and 3D silicon technologies. Recognized world leaders
from industry and from the research community share their views of
this nanoelectronics future. They discuss, among other things,
ubiquitous communication based on mobile companions, health and
care supported by autonomous implants and by personal carebots,
safe and efficient mobility assisted by co-pilots equipped with
intelligent micro-electromechanical systems, and internet-based
education for a billion people from kindergarden to retirement.
This book should help and interest all those who will have to make
decisions associated with future electronics: students, graduates,
educators, and researchers, as well as managers, investors, and
policy makers. Introduction: Towards Sustainable 2020
