Christofer Hierold holds the Chair of Micro- and Nanosystems at the ETH in Zurich, Switzerland, since April 2002. Prior to that, he spent eleven years with Siemens AG and Infineon Technologies AG, responsible for R&D on microsystems, advanced CMOS processes, memories, nanoelectronics and new materials. His current research work focuses on the evaluation of new materials for MEMS, on advanced microsystems and on nanotransducers.<br> Professor Hierold holds numerous patents and has published over 20 research articles in peer reviewed journals and international conference proceedings. He serves on the program committees of several scientific conferences such as the IEEE MEMS series.

Following on from the first AMN volume, this handy reference and textbook examines the topic of nanosystem design in further detail. It explains the physical and chemical basics behind the design and fabrication of nanodevices, covering all important, recent advances in the field, while introducing nanosystems to less experienced readers.<br> The result is an important source for a fast, accurate overview of the state of the art of nanosystem realization, summarizing further important literature.
