Spawned by a meeting of the same name held in Moscow in 2002, the "Nano & Giga" series is intended to provide tutorial and expository articles on advanced technology problems related to micro- and nano- technology development. The articles capture the flavor and excitement of the Nano and Giga meeting (come to our next one in Cracow in 2004!) reflected in the tutorial lectures presented by leading researchers in corresponding subject areas. Each chapter is intended as a self-contained introduction to an advanced research topic ranging from microelectronics materials to molecular electronics:

• Chapter 1 discusses the development of advanced MOSFET's for future integrated circuit technology generations (P. M. Zeitzoff, J. A. Hutchby, G. Bersuker, H. R. Huff);
• Chapter 2 reviews prospects for the development of ultra small (< 10 nm) electronic devices (K. Likharev);
• Chapter 3 addresses the current problems of lithography, a key technology enabling continued miniaturization of integrated circuits (K. Lucas, S. Postnikov, C. Henderson, S. Hector);
• Chapter 4 analyses the current status and problems in introducing new gate dielectrics (high-k materials) for silicon-based MOSFET's (S. Stemmer and D. G. Schlom) ;
• Chapter 5 describes perspective and challenges in modeling wide-gap oxides outlining the defect formation and evolution (A.L. Shluger, A.S. Foster, J.L. Gavartin and P.V. Sushko);
• Chapter 6 introduces the theory of electron tunneling through single molecules (J. Tomfohr, Jun Li, O. Sankey); and
• Chapter 7 concludes the book by an introduction into a future world of "quantum computers" (P. M. Lenahan).

A. Korkin:
"NANO AND GIGA CHALLENGES IN MICROELECTRONICS is not just another book like many others you were reading before and will read in the future.
It is a magic key to a living and breathing professional community, real people, world class scientists and engineers, which you can meet on our Nano & Giga forums…"
