Synopsis

Fuelled by rapid growth in communications technology, silicon heterostructures and related high-speed semiconductors are spearheading the drive toward smaller, faster and lower power devices. High-Speed Heterostructure Devices is a textbook on modern high-speed semiconductor devices intended for both graduate students and practising engineers. This book is concerned with the underlying physics of heterostructures as well as some of the most recent techniques for modeling and simulating these devices. Emphasis is placed on heterostructure devices of the immediate future such as the MODFET, HBT and RTD. The principles of operation of other devices such as the Bloch Oscillator, RITD, Gunn diode, quantum cascade laser and SOI and LD MOSFETs are also introduced. Initially developed for a graduate course taught at Ohio State University, the book comes with a complete set of homework problems and a web link to MATLAB programs supporting the lecture material.

Review

"...the book is clear and easy to use. The material is presented in an engaging manner and the reader is guided expertly through the territory of heterostructure devices. Apart from its intended use as a book for graduate students, it will be sought after by researchers and engineers, as it presents research material which is disseminated throughout the research literature and has never before been presented together in a book." Current Engineering Practice

Book Description

High-speed heterostructures are spearheading the drive toward smaller, faster and lower power devices. This book is a timely and comprehensive introduction to heterostructures, covering the underlying physics, modeling techniques and the latest devices, including MODFETs, HBTs and RTDs. Numerous homework exercises and a web link to MATLAB examples are included.
