Modern Semiconductor Device Physics

An in-depth, up-to-date presentation of the physics and operational principles of all modern semiconductor devices

The companion volume to Dr. Sze's classic Physics of Semiconductor Devices, Modern Semiconductor Device Physics covers all the significant advances in the field over the past decade. To provide the most authoritative, state-of-the-art information on this rapidly developing technology, Dr. Sze has gathered the contributions of world-renowned experts in each area. Principal topics include bipolar transistors, compound-semiconductor field-effect-transistors, MOSFET and related devices, power devices, quantum-effect and hot-electron devices, active microwave diodes, high-speed photonic devices, and solar cells.

Supported by hundreds of illustrations and references and a problem set at the end of each chapter, Modern Semiconductor Device Physics is the essential text/reference for electrical engineers, physicists, material scientists, and graduate students actively working in microelectronics and related fields.

Halbleitergeräte dienen als Bausteine für die Elektronik-Industrie, die größte Industrie der Welt, mit einem Volumen von 800 Millionen Dollar. Im Jahre 1994 wurden weltweit Halbleitergeräte im Wert von 110 Milliarden Dollar abgesetzt.

Dieses Buch deckt bedeutende Entwicklungen in der Physik der Halbleitergeräte in den letzten zehn Jahren ab. Es liefert eine tiefgehende, aktuelle Präsentation der Physik und der Betriebsprinzipien verschiedener Halbleitergeräte, zusammengestellt aus über 120.000 seit 1981 veröffentlichter Gerätedokumentationen.
