Business Wire, May 28, 2007

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c58099) has announced the addition of "Future Trends in Microelectronics: Up the Nano Creek" to their offering.

In this book leading professionals in the semiconductor microelectronics field discuss the future evolution of their profession. The following are some of the questions discussed:

- Does CMOS technology have a real problem?

- Do transistors have to be smaller or just better and made of better materials?

- What is to come after semiconductors?

- Superconductors or molecular conductors?

- Is bottom-up self-assembling the answer to the limitation of top-down lithography?

- Is it time for Optics to become a force in computer evolution?

- Quantum Computing, Spintronics?

- Where is the printable plastic electronics proposed 10 years ago?

- Are carbon nanotube transistors the CMOS of the future?
