Riassunto

This book provides the knowledge and understanding necessary to comprehend the operation of individual electronic devices that are found in modern micro-electronics. As a textbook, it is aimed at the third-year undergraduate curriculum in electrical engineering, in which the physical electronic properties are used to develop an introductory understanding to the semiconductor devices used in modern micro-electronics.

The emphasis of the book is on providing detailed physical insight into the microscopic mechanisms that form the cornerstone for these technologies. Mathematical treatments are therefore kept to the minimum level necessary to achieve suitable rigor.
* Covers crystalline structure
* Thorough introduction to the key principles of quantum mechanics
* Semiconductor statistics, impurities, and controlled doping
* Detailed analysis of the operation of semiconductor devices, including p-n junctions, field-effect transistors, metal-semiconductor junctions and bipolar junction transistors
* Discussion of optoelectronic devices such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and lasers
* Chapters on the device applications of dielectrics, magnetic materials, and superconductors

L'autore

David Ferry is currently Regents' Professor of Electrical Engineering at Arizona State University (since 1983). Previously, he was on the faculty of Texas Tech University and Colorado State University, and served briefly at the Office of Naval Research. He received the 1999 Cledo Brunetti Award from the IEEE for advances in nano-electronic theory and experiment. He is a fellow of both the IEEE and the APS. He recently received ASU's 2000 award for graduate mentorship. He is the author/co-author of many books and book chapters, and more than 500 scholarly publications. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Texas in 1966 and spent one year at the Boltzmann Institute and University of Vienna, both in Vienna, Austria.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Electronic Materials and Devices provides an introduction to the electronic properties of materials that is suitable for undergraduate students in the engineering disciplines. The book provides knowledge of material properties essential to understanding the operation of modern technology, such as semiconductor and optoelectronic devices, micro-mechanical systems (MEMS), magnetic memories and devices, and superconducting devices. A detailed physical insight into the microscopic and mathematical treatments are at an appropriate level of difficulty. While this text serves primarily as an excellent introduction for undergraduates, its comprehensive coverage of different solid-state technologies is also intended to be a useful reference for graduate students and professionals in the field of electronic engineering.

The book is arranged to first introduce the necessary solid-state concepts of crystalline material, and then cover the important transport concepts. These concepts are used to introduce semiconductor devices, including p-n junctions, bipolar transistors, MOSFETs, HEMTs, and MESFETs. An introduction to fabricating these devices in planar technology is also included. Dielectric and magnetic properties are covered, including new ideas such as MEMS and giant magnetoresistance, as are optoelectronic and superconducting devices.
