About this ebook

The awaited revision of Semiconductor Devices: Physics and Technology offers more than 50% new or revised material that reflects a multitude of important discoveries and advances in device physics and integrated circuit processing. Offering a basic introduction to physical principles of modern semiconductor devices and their advanced fabrication technology, the third edition presents students with theoretical and practical aspects of every step in device characterizations and fabrication, with an emphasis on integrated circuits.

Divided into three parts, this text covers the basic properties of semiconductor materials, emphasizing silicon and gallium arsenide; the physics and characteristics of semiconductor devices bipolar, unipolar special microwave and photonic devices; and the latest processing technologies, from crystal growth to lithographic pattern transfer.

Ratings and reviews

The book is all right, the ebook is not. The contents has no links to chapters, only parts- good luck finding chapters 4-10 without going page-by-page. Also, search is horribly broken, making this even harder. If you're looking for Schottky diodes, they're in chapter 7 on page 228, but the search shows exactly one result on page 13. Do not buy this through Google Books.

The book itself is a classic. The ebook is terribly flawed, with equations being incomplete and misleading.
