"...will serve as an excellent example of good, succinct writing for future doctoral students, as well as demonstrating the author's depth of study of the subject." D.Q.M. Fay, Computing Reviews

First published in 1991, this thesis concentrates upon the design of three-dimensional, rather than the traditional two-dimensional, circuits. The theory behind such circuits is presented in detail, together with experimental results. Winner of the Distinguished Dissertation in Computer Science award, this work will prove invaluable to both designers and hardware engineers involved in the development of practical three-dimensional integrated circuits.
