O’Reilly covers everything we've got, with content to help us build a world-class technology community, upgrade the capabilities and competencies of our teams, and improve overall team performance as well as their engagement.
I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.
I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.

Advanced MOSFET and Related Devices
MOSFET is the most important device in modern high-density advanced integrated circuits (IC). We have considered the basic characteristics of the so-called long-channel MOSFET in the previous chapter. Since 1970 the gate length of MOSFETs in production ICs has been scaled down at a rate about 13% per year, and it will continue to shrink in the foreseeable future. The reduction of device dimensions is driven by requirements for both performance and density. In this chapter we will consider some advanced topics on MOSFET scaling, novel scaled device structures, and logic and memory devices.
Specifically, we cover the following topics: ...
