About this title

From the Back Cover

Presents a unified introduction to the dominant class of semiconductor devices. Since the topics are based on system applications, the book contains a significant amount of information on particular applications. The topics chosen are intended to demonstrate not only how these devices work, but why the devices are of interest.

FEATURES:

• Unique coverage of thin film transistors and their use in active matrix displays (Chapter 2).
• Includes coverage of MESFETs in Chapter 8 due to their increasing use in RF (cellular) communications.
• Emphasis on the application of charge-coupled devices in imagers and relates imager design to the demands of HDTV and the internet.
• MathCAD(tm) integrated throughout the text to explore more complex models and solve problems.
