Microelectronic Devices

Combining solid state devices with electronic circuits for an introductory-level microelectronics course, this textbook offers an integrated approach so that students can truly understand how a circuit works. A concise writing style is employed, with the right level of detail and physics to help students understand how a device works. Other features include an emphasis on modelling of electronic devices, and analysis of non-linear circuits. Spice problems, worked examples and end-of-chapter problems are included.

The second edition of this introductory book sets out clearly and concisely the principles of operation of the semiconductor devices that lie at the heart of the microelectronic revolution. The book aims to teach the reader how semiconductor devices are modelled. It begins by providing a firm background in the relevant semiconductor physics. These ideas are then used to construct both circuit models and mathematical models for diodes, bipolar transistors and MOSFETs. It also describes the processes involved in fabricating silicon chips containing these devices. The first edition has already proved a highly useful textbook to first and second year degree students in electrical and electronic engineering, and related disciplines. It is also useful to HND students in similar subject areas, and as supplementary reading for anyone involved in integrated circuit design and fabrication.

This Book Presents A Simple And Systematic Exposition Of Various Devices And Circuits In Terms Of The Indefinite Admittance Matrix.Beginning With A Clear Description Of The Basic Features Of This Matrix The Book Considers H- And Fet Parameters.L.F. And H.F. Response Of Bjt And Fet Amplifiers Are Then Discussed Followed By Multistage Amplifiers, Oscillators And Passive Circuits.Throughout The Book, The Basic Concepts And Techniques Are Lucidly Explained And Illustrated Through Suitable Solved Examples. Numerous Problems And Objective Questions Have Also Been Included.The Book Would Be Extremely Useful For Undergraduate Electronics, Communication And Computer Engineering Students. Amie Candidates And Practising Engineers Would Also Find It A Valuable Reference Source.

This book constitutes selected papers from the Second International Conference on Microelectronic Devices, Circuits and Systems, ICMDCS 2021, held in Vellore, India, in February 2021. The 32 full papers and 6 short papers presented were thoroughly reviewed and selected from 103 submissions. They are organized in the topical sections on ​digital design for signal, image and video processing; VLSI testing and verification; emerging technologies and IoT; nano-scale modelling and process technology device; analog and mixed signal design; communication technologies and circuits; technology and modelling for micro electronic devices; electronics for green technology.

"The central goal of this book is to present the fundamentals of semiconductor device operation with relevance to modern integrated microelectronics (as opposed to, say, photonics, energy conversion devices, or power electronics). This means that no optical devices nor power devices of any kind are described. In contrast, emphasis is devoted to frequency response, layout, geometrical effects, parasitic issues and modeling in integrated microelectronics devices (transistors and diodes). In spite of this focus, the concepts learned here are highly applicable in other device contexts. This book should be a great resource for a broad range of students with a diverse set of interests."--
