• Flexibility—Provides more material than would usually be covered in a one-semester course. Chs. 1-8 include core material, allowing instructors to select material from the remaining chapters as fits their course needs.

• About 200 problems—The problems involve students in extending concepts introduced in the text—not just plugging in numbers—as in many of the competing texts.

• Photographs—Illustrate many devices.

• Reading list—At the end of each chapter.

  For undergraduate electrical engineering students or for practicing engineers and scientists, interested in updating their understanding of modern electronics.

   

  One of the most widely used introductory books on semiconductor materials, physics, devices and technology, this text aims to: 1) develop basic semiconductor physics concepts, so students can better understand current and future devices; and 2) provide a sound understanding of current semiconductor devices and technology, so that their applications to electronic and optoelectronic circuits and systems can be appreciated. Students are brought to a level of understanding that will enable them to read much of the current literature on new devices and applications.

BEN G. STREETMAN is Dean of the College of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin and holds the Dula D. Cockrell Centennial Chair in Engineering. He is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and was the founding Director of the Microelectronics Research Center. He has taught at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as well as the University of Texas at Austin. He has received numerous awards including the Education Medal of IEEE, The Frederick Emmons Terman Medal of the ASEE, and membership in the National Academy of Engineering. He has published more than 270 articles in the technical literature. Thirty-three students of Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, and Physics have received their Ph.D.s under his direction.

SANJAY BANERJEE is the Cullen Trust Endowed Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Director of the Microelectronics Research Center at The University of Texas at Austin. He has more than 225 archival refereed publications and 12 U.S. patents, and has supervised 18 Ph.D. students. His honors include the NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award (1988), the Texas Atomic Energy Centennial Fellowship (1990-1997), Distinguished National Lecturer for the IEEE Electron Devices Society (1997-), and Fellow of the IEEE (1996).

This book is designed to help readers gain a basic understanding of semiconductor devices and the physical operating principles behind them. This two-fold approach 1) provides the user with a sound understanding of existing devices, and 2) helps them develop the basic tools with which they can later learn about applications and the latest devices. The piece provides one of the most comprehensive treatments of all the important semiconductor devices, and reflects the most current trends in the technology and theoretical understanding of the devices.
