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. - Examines how a semiconductor device is designed and fabricated to satisfy the requirements of the target application - Explains use of standard laboratory equipment to extract key performance characteristics of semiconductor devices - Includes examples of TCAD tools fordesign of internal electrical properties of a new semiconductor device
