Introduction to Electronics/ Microelectronics at Junior Level.

This text describes device physics and circuit design in the context of modern microelectronics integrated circuit technology. It introduces approaches to learning the core device physics and analog/digital circuit concepts that make the subject more accessible to the current generation of students. The authors have designed a concise, concentrated presentation, limiting coverage to only those concepts necessary for the understanding of devices and circuits.

Organizes coverage to be extremely flexible, allowing professors to teach a broad range of courses and course sequences. Pg.___

Offers coverage of analog/digital/memory circuit design—in modular form—in a single source. Pg.___

Provides flexibility in the level of device physics complexity, allowing professors to add to the depth or breadth of coverage as they see fit. Pg.___

Uses an integrated circuit context for introduction, examples and problems, using technology cross-sections and layouts to help put abstract circuit and device concepts into actual physical structures. Pg.___

Guides readers through examples of actual design processes that parallel the design approach used by integrated circuit engineers—beginning with rough hand calculations and following with computer simulations using SPICE to optimize the design. Pg.___

Supports discussions and examples with a wealth of exercises, problems and design problems. Pg.___

Features capstone chapters—chapters 12 and 13—which unite the previously covered concepts of devices and circuits in the design of an operational amplifier and semiconductor memories. Pg.___
