About This Book
The new edition of themost detailed andcomprehensivesingle-volume referenceonmajorsemiconductor devices
TheFourthEdition of Physics of Semiconductor Devices remains the standard reference work on the fundamental physics and operational characteristics of all major bipolar, unipolar, special microwave, and optoelectronic devices.This fully updated and expanded edition includes approximately 1, 000 references to original research papers and review articles, more than 650 high-quality technical illustrations, and over two dozen tables of material parameters.
Divided into five parts, the text first providesa summary of semiconductor properties, covering energy band, carrier concentration, and transport properties.The second part surveys the basic building blocks of semiconductor devices, including p-n junctions, metal-semiconductor contacts, and metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) capacitors. Part III examinesbipolar transistors, MOSFETs(MOS field-effect transistors), and other field-effect transistors such as JFETs(junction field-effect-transistors) and MESFETs(metal-semiconductor field-effect transistors).Part IVfocuses on negative-resistance and power devices. The bookconcludes with coverage of photonic devices and sensors, including light-emitting diodes (LEDs), solar cells, and various photodetectors and semiconductor sensors.This classic volume, thestandard textbook and reference in the field of semiconductor devices:
- Provides the practical foundation necessary for understanding the devices currently in use and evaluating the performance and limitations of future devices
- Offerscompletely updated and revised information that reflects advances in device concepts, performance, and application
- Features discussionsof topics of contemporary interest, such asapplications of photonic devices thatconvert optical energy to electric energy
- Includes numerousproblemsets, real-world examples, tables, figures, andillustrations;several useful appendices;and a detailed solutions manual for Instructor's only
- Exploresnewwork on leading-edge technologies such as MODFETs, resonant-tunneling diodes, quantum-cascade lasers, single-electron transistors, real-space-transfer devices, and MOS-controlled thyristors
Physics of Semiconductor Devices, Fourth Edition is an indispensable resource for design engineers, research scientists, industrial and electronics engineering managers, and graduate studentsin the field.
