DEEP SUBMICRON CMOS DESIGN
Contents
Acknowledgements We would like our early colleagues Jean-Francois Habigand, Kozo Kinoshita, Antonio Rubio for their support throughout the development of the Microwind, Dsch tools. The project of writing a book that seemed initially to be shadowy took form and substance, and led to this present work. We would like to thank Joseph-Georges Ferrante for having faith in our ability to drive ambitious microelectronics research projects, and having provided us a continuous support over the last ten years. Productive technical discussions with Jean-Pierre Schoellkopf, Amaury Soubeyran, Thomas Steinecke, Gert Voland and Jean-Louis Noullet are also gratefully acknowledged. Special thanks are due to technical contributors to the Dsch and Microwind software (Chen Xi, Jianwen Huang), to our colleagues at INSA how always supported this work, to numerous professors, students and engineers who patiently debugged the technical contents of the book and the software, and gave valuable comments and suggestions. Also, we would like to thank Marie-Agnes Detourbe for having carefully reviewed the manuscript. Finally we would like to acknowledge our biggest debt to our parents and to our companion for their constant support.
