Fully-Depleted SOI CMOS Circuits and Technology for Ultralow-Power Applications - Hardcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Takayasu Sakurai received the Ph.D degree in Electronic Engineering from University of Tokyo, Japan, in 1981 and he joined Toshiba Corporation, where he designed CMOS DRAM, SRAM, BiCMOS ASIC's, RISC's, and multimedia VLSI's. He worked on simple yet accurate interconnect delay, capacitance and MOS models widely used as alpha power-law MOS model. He proposed to sense-amplifying flip-flops, variable threshold voltage CMOS scheme, dual voltage converter scheme, hot carrier resilient circuits and other numerous digital and memory circuits, which are adopted in current high-performance, low-power VLSI's. He was a visiting researcher at University of California, Berkeley from 1988 to 1990. In 1996, he moved to University of Tokyo and is consulting to US startup companies. He has published about 250 technical publications including more than 30 invited papers and 6 books and filed about 100 patents. He is a recipient of four product awards and two design contest awards. He served as a conference chair for the Symposium on VLSI Circuits, and a technical program committee member for ISSCC, CICC, DAC, ICCAD, FPGA workshop, ISLPED, ASPDAC, TAU, and other international conferences. He is a keynote speaker for the 2003 ISSCC. He is an IEEE Fellow, an elected Administration Committee member for the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society and an IEEE CAS distinguished lecturer.
