Selected Topics in Electronics and Systems (ISSN: 1793-1274) Editor-in-Chief Michael Shur (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA) Co-Editors-in-Chief T A Fjeldly (Norwegian University of Science & Technology, Norway) H Iwai (Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan) J Zolper (Office of Naval Research, USA) The series is devoted to cutting edge topics in electronics and systems, providing state-of-the-art up-to-date reviews, tutorials and articles of latest research and development. The books are designed for engineers, scientists, professors, and graduate students interested in electronics and systems, especially in high speed electronics and advanced electronic and photonic materials and devices. About the Editor Michael Shur is Patricia W. and C. Sheldon Roberts Professor of Solid State Electronics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He is Fellow of IEEE, Fellow of the American Physical Society, and Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of High Speed Electronics and Systems. In 1994, he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by the Saint Petersburg State Technical University. In 1999, he received van der Ziel Award. Dr. Shur is doing research in semiconductor technology and high-speed integrated circuits and published many papers and books on these subjects. He is a co-developer of AIM-Spice — advanced circuit simulator — and holds many patents on electronic and photonic devices.
