Synopsis<br />
<br />
Semiconductor Device Physics and Design provides a fresh and unique teaching <br />
tool. Over the last decade device performances are driven by new materials, <br />
scaling, heterostructures and new device concepts. Semiconductor devices have <br />
mostly relied on Si but increasingly GaAs, InGaAs and heterostructures made from <br />
Si/SiGe, GaAs/AlGaAs etc have become important. Over the last few years one of <br />
the most exciting new entries has been the nitride based heterostructures. New <br />
physics based on polar charges and polar interfaces has become important as a <br />
result of the nitrides. Nitride based devices are now used for high power <br />
applications and in lighting and display applications. For students to be able <br />
to participate in this exciting arena, a lot of physics, device concepts, <br />
heterostructure concepts and materials properties need to be understood. It is <br />
important to have a textbook that teaches students and practicing engineers <br />
about all these areas in a coherent manner.<br />
<br />
Semiconductor Device Physics and Design starts out with basic physics concepts <br />
including the physics behind polar heterostructures and strained <br />
heterostructures. Important devices ranging from p-n diodes to bipolar and field <br />
effect devices is then discussed. An important distinction users will find in <br />
this book is the discussion presented on device needs from the perspective of <br />
various technologies. For example, how much gain is needed in a transistor, how <br />
much power, what kind of device characteristics are needed. Not surprisingly the <br />
needs depend upon applications. The needs of an A/D or D/A converter will be <br />
different from that of an amplifier in a cell phone. Similarly the diodes used <br />
ina laptop will place different requirements on the device engineer than diodes <br />
used in a mixer circuit. By relating device design to device performance and <br />
then relating device needs to system use the student can see how device design <br />
works in real world.<br />
<br />
This book is comprehensive without being overwhelming. The focus was to make <br />
this a useful text book so that the information contained is cohesive without <br />
including all aspects of device physics. The lesson plans demonstrated how this <br />
book could be used in a 1 semester or 2 quarter sequence.<br />
