Silicon IC
The Piezojunction Effect in Silicon Integrated Circuits and Sensors
Mechanical stress affects the magnitude of base-emitter voltages of forward biased bipolar transistors. This is called the piezojunction effect. This text both describes techniques that can reduce this and shows that the effect can act upon various mechanical-sensor structures.

SOI Design
Silicon on insulator (SOI) is an attractive technology for large volume integrated circuit production and is particularly good for low-voltage, low-power and high-speed digital systems. This text examines some of the basics, but is primarily concerned with circuit-related issues.
