Semiconductor Devices

This book examines in detail how a semiconductor device is designed and fabricated to satisfy best the requirements of the target application.  The author presents and explains both basic and state-of-art semiconductor industry standards used in  large/small signal equivalent circuit models for semiconductor devices that electronics engineers routinely use in their design calculations. The presentation includes detailed, step-by-step information on how a semiconductor device is fabricated, and the very  sophisticated supporting technologies used in the process flow. The author also explains how standard laboratory equipment can be used to extract useful performance metrics of a semiconductor device.   

   Demonstrates importance of TCAD tools with examples from steady-state Monte Carlo algorithm-based TCAD tool DeviceMaker
   Surveys various emerging semiconductor materials and the advantages of inorganic, as opposed to organic;
   Examines in detail band gap engineering techniques, used to satisfy stringent performance requirements.
