Semiconductor Glossary A Resource For Semiconductor Community

Semiconductor Glossary is a one of a kind contribution to the pool of publications in the field of semiconductor science and engineering. It was conceived in recognition of an apparent lack of references that would provide brief, straightforward explanations of terms and terminology in the area of advanced semiconductor materials, devices, and processes with emphasis on the most current developments across all areas of nanoelectronics and nanophotonics. With over 2,000 terms defined and explained, the Second Edition of Semiconductor Glossary is the most complete reference in the field of semiconductors on the market today. Using his over 40 years of experience in advanced semiconductor research and teaching, the author selected the terms and then defined and explained them with a broad spectrum of readers in mind. Advanced undergraduate and graduate students, semiconductor professionals at all levels, as well as people with just a general interest in semiconductors should all find Semiconductor Glossary to be a useful resource.

This Guide to Semiconductor Engineering is concerned with semiconductor materials, devices and process technologies which in combination are the driving force behind the unprecedented growth of our technical civilization over the last half a century. This book was conceived and written keeping in mind those who need to learn about semiconductor engineering, who are professionally associated with select aspects of this technical domain and want to see it in a broader context, or are simply interested in semiconductors. In its coverage of semiconductor engineering this Guide departs from textbook-style, monothematic in-depth coverage of topics such as the physics of semiconductors and semiconductor devices, the manufacturing of semiconductor devices and circuits, and the characterization of semiconductor materials. Instead, it covers the entire field of semiconductor engineering in one concise volume with synergistic interactions between various areas clearly identified. It is a holistic approach to the coverage of semiconductor engineering which makes this guide unique among books covering semiconductor related issues available on the market today.

The fast paced world of human resources (HR) management, development, and utilization requires HR professionals to fill many roles and speak many "languages." The Human Resources Glossary answers the demand for a single authoritative source that compiles and explains the vocabulary of HR practitioners. This glossary defines HR terms and explains th
