How Transistor Area Shrank by 1 Million Fold by Howard Tigelaar

How Transistor Area Shrank by 1 Million Fold by Howard Tigelaar

​This book explains in layman’s terms how CMOS transistors work.  The author explains step-by-step how CMOS transistors are built, along with an explanation of the purpose of each process step. He describes for readers the key inventions and developments in science and engineering that overcame huge obstacles, enabling engineers to shrink transistor area by over 1 million fold and build billions of transistor switches that switch over a billion times a second, all on a piece of silicon smaller than a thumbnail.
