Silicon-on-Sapphire Circuits and Systems

Written by leading experts in the field, this volume offers an introduction to the design of high-performance circuits and systems in the silicon-on-sapphire (SoS) CMOS technology. The goal of the book is to provide you with the fundamental skills required to take advantage of the SoS process in the design of analog circuits and systems. After an introduction to the SoS process and its basic devices, Silicon-on-Sapphire Circuits and Systems discusses digital blocks and basic and linear analog circuits. The core of the book covers analog-to-digital conversion, image sensors, biosensor interfaces, communication circuits, and advanced sensors and sensor interfaces. This book is intended for engineers or advanced students in semiconductor fabrication and advanced sensor systems.
