Introduction to Electronic Devices / Edition 1

by Michael S. Shur

Overview

This book gives readers enough knowledge of the required principles so they can adapt the knowledge to new materials and types of devices. As device dimensions shrink and more exotic compound semiconductor materials are used in electronic circuits, the physics involved in understanding the device behavior becomes more complicated and more fascinating.

Editorial Reviews

A textbook for advanced undergraduate electrical engineering students taking their first course in electronic devices. To help students gain a grasp of the fundamentals, a considerable part of the material is devoted to physics and basic principles of device operation. To make the acquired knowledge practical, the semiconductor device models described in the text are linked to the models implemented in the popular integrated circuit simulator SPICE. The forefront of modern electronic device technology is represented in such topics as heterojunction devices, liquid crystal displays, and single electron electronics. Annotation c.
