Synopsis

Semiconductor Devices: Physics and Technology, Third Edition is an introduction to the physical principles of modern semiconductor devices and their advanced fabrication technology. It begins with a brief historical review of major devices and key technologies and is then divided into three sections: semiconductor material properties, physics of semiconductor devices and processing technology to fabricate these semiconductor devices.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

T his eagerly–anticipated revision offers more than 50% new or revised material that reflects the multitude of important recent discoveries and advances in device physics and integrated circuit processing. The book offers a thorough introduction to physical principles of modern semiconductor devices and their fabrication technology. Readers are presented with theoretical and practical aspects of every step in device characterizations and fabrication, with an emphasis on integrated circuits. The material is divided into three parts: the basic properties of semiconductor materials, emphasizing silicon and gallium arsenide the physics and characteristics of semiconductor device bipolar, unipolar special microwave and photonic devices the latest processing technologies, from crystal growth to lithographic pattern transfer Each chapter is presented in a logical manner enabling readers to learn all important devices from a single source. Plus, the book covers historical developments of devices and technology in the last 100 years. Readers gain a sound perspective on the past and a foundation for projecting future trends.

About the Author:

S. M. Sze is UMC Chair Professor of the National Chiao Tung University and President of the National Nano Device Laboratories, Taiwan, R.O.C.
