This collection of research and review papers and short communication papers focuses on integrated circuits and related technology. The book begins with an overview of materials technology applications in radiofrequency and microwave circuits, then presents studies on specific topics such as design of a multichannel integrated biosensor chip, microelectronic systems for extracellular neural recording, and electron spectroscopy and near infrared photocurrent measurement of working organic thin film FETs. Solution processes for organic thin-film transistors, and organic luminescent device degradation analysis, are some other areas examined. There are several chapters on different applications of photodiodes in biomedicine. The book is illustrated with b&w illustrations and a few b&w and color photos and images. Information on the editors is not given. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
