Modern Semiconductor Devices for Integrated Circuits

This is an excellent book for students/teachers interested in device physics. It is very well written and easy to understand.

Arrived sooner than expected. Very happy

I only had to read one page (it happened to be the first page of Ch3) and I could tell that this is one of the best books, possibly the very best, available on the subject of device physics. The author has a beautiful writing style that is interesting and understandable. The author is an extraordinary communicator and technical writer. All of my instincts were confirmed when I did some research on author and saw that he is one of the most highly regarded men in EE.I scanned the rest of the book. It is very thorough. I understand that this is necessary as the author is a professor and has a teaching and research position at Berkeley. This is a textbook, from a prestigious university and it is for a class, so it has to have all of the math. I have a math degree, plus a couple of other degrees, and 20+ years of working experience. I'm currently working on a similar book, but it will be for working engineers and, in addition to device physics, it will also include a lot of analog design. I will explain things as fully as possible, keeping the math as simple as possible. The truth is that working engineers don't do much math (we don't need it).In any case, the writing style here is just the best that I've seen. Dr. Hu is forcing me to amp up my game (a bit) and I am grateful for the push. I plan to read most of it, and I know it will improve my understanding of things that I have loved to think about for years and years. Most of my texts are much older, and there are diagrams here that look very informative and that I have never seen before. Obviously, this book has my deepest appreciation and my highest recommendation. A major contribution to the literature.

This book was used as a reference in an excellent course I took on solid state devices as an undergraduate about two years ago. I will admit that I don't sit down and read things all the way through as much as I should (I tend to take the stochastic approach to reading), but this book was a rare exception where I found myself interested enough to just sit and read on the train more than what was required for class. It doesn't contain as many examples or exercises as other books I've used in my studies. However, I consider this to be to its merit, since its density makes it easy to find the important stuff (because it's all important stuff!).To give you an idea of what's covered, these are the chapters (since it isn't already listed on this page):1. Electrons and Holes in Semiconductors2. Motion and Recombination of Electrons and Holes3. Device Fabrication Technology4. PN and Metal-Semiconductor Junctions5. MOS Capacitor6. MOS Transistor7. MOSFETs in ICs - Scaling, Leakage, and Other Topics8. Bipolar Transistor

The book was fine. Good read, lots of info. My professor heard the price and himself said that students today are getting absolutely robbed with these textbook prices.

Questo libro spiega nel dettaglio la fisica dei componenti a semiconduttore e il loro funzionamento da un punto i vista ingegneristico. Adatto a chi ha già conoscenze pregresse in elettronica a livello universitario.
