This Springer Handbook comprehensively covers the topic of semiconductor devices, embracing all aspects from theoretical background to fabrication, modeling, and applications.

Nearly 100 leading scientists from industry and academia were selected to write the handbook's chapters, which were conceived for professionals and practitioners, material scientists, physicists and electrical engineers working at universities, industrial R&D, and manufacturers.

Starting from the description of the relevant technological aspects and fabrication steps, the handbook proceeds with a section fully devoted to the main conventional semiconductor devices like, e.g., bipolar transistors and MOS capacitors and transistors, used in the production of the standard integrated circuits, and the corresponding physical models. In the subsequent chapters, the scaling issues of the semiconductor-device technology are addressed, followed by the description of novel concept-based semiconductor devices. The last section illustrates the numerical simulation methods ranging from the fabrication processes to the device performances.

Each chapter is self-contained, and refers to related topics treated in other chapters when necessary, so that the reader interested in a specific subject can easily identify a personal reading path through the vast contents of the handbook.

About the Author

Massimo Rudan is Professor of Electronics at the University of Bologna. His research interests are in the field of physics of carrier transport and numerical analysis of semiconductor devices and solid-state sensors. He received a degree in Electrical Engineering in 1973 and a degree in Physics in 1976, both from the University of Bologna, Italy. In 1986 he has been a visiting scientist, on a one-year assignment, at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center at Yorktown Heights, NY, studying the discretization techniques for the Boltzmann Transport Equation. In 1990 he became full professor at the University of Bologna. An IEEE Life Fellow, Massimo Rudan has coordinated several research projects funded by the European Commission, international Companies and Foundations, the National Council of Research, and the National Ministry of University and Research.

Rossella Brunetti is Professor of Condensed Matter Physics at the Department of Physics, Informatics and Mathematics of the University of Modena. Her research activity has mainly been focused on charge transport, in both semi-classical and quantum conditions, in semiconductor structures and devices. She received her Master degree cum laude in Physics in 1981, and the Ph. D. in Physics at the University of Modena, Italy, in 1987. Since 2002 she is associate professor at the same University. Rossella Brunetti has experience with a variety of numerical techniques which have been applied to validate theoretical models against experiments and to predict new effects. In the last years her research has focused on transport properties of chalcogenide materials in view of their applications in the field of emerging memory devices.

Susanna Reggiani is Professor at the School of Engineering of the University of Bologna. Her scientific activity has been devoted to the physics, modeling and characterization of electron devices, with special emphasis on transport models in semiconductors. She received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Bologna in 2001. Since 2001 she is with the Department of Electronics and the Advanced Research Center for Electronic Systems (ARCES) of the same University. She has been involved in Projects dealing with TCAD analysis of power MOSFETs, modeling and characterization of hot-carrier stress degradation and reliability of wide-bandgap semiconductors, modeling of package influences on high-voltage ICs. In 2020 she became full professor.

If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel with contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to us or Biblios, 47 Kaisetstrasse, 60329, frankfurt am main, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
