Synopsis

This book is a useful reference for practicing electrical engineers as well as a textbook for a junior/senior or graduate level course in electrical engineering. The authors combine two subjects: device modeling and circuit simulation - by providing a large number of well-prepared examples of circuit simulations immediately following the description of many device models.

Since 2000, he has been on the faculty of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim.

Michael S. Shur received an MSEE (with honors) from St. Petersburg Electrotechnical Institute and a PhD in Physics and a doctor of science degree from A. F. Ioffe Institute. From 1989 to 1996, he was John Money Professor at the University of Virginia, where he served as director of the Applied ElectroPhysics Laboratory. He is currently Roberts Professor of Solid State Electronics, Professor of Physics, Professor of Information Technology, and Director of the Center for Broadband Data Transport Science and Technology at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. A Fellow of IEEE and Fellow of APS, he is the author of Introduction to Electronic Devices and coauthor, with Professor Fjeldly and Trund Ytterdal, of Introduction to Device Modeling and Circuit Simulation, both published by Wiley.

From the Back Cover

A detailed guide to SPICE-oriented design and testing of electronic devices SPICE allows engineers to simulate individual semiconductor devices and electronic circuits and to perform the large number of different analyses needed for tasks such as verification of circuit designs and prediction of circuit performance. However, these simulations are only as good as the device models and parameters used in the simulations. Wrong models yield unreliable results. Introduction to Device Modeling and Circuit Simulation links electronic device modeling to simulation of these devices using the SPICE program. Ideal as a reference for professional engineers or as a text for courses in semiconductor device modeling, it presents
* A combination of background device physics and technology
* A review of existing device models
* A set of new and improved models compatible with the most advanced technology
* Descriptions of device models and examples of circuit simulations
Following an introduction to SPICE, this book covers charge transport in semiconductors, two-terminal devices, bipolar junction transistors, field effect transistors, and advanced FET modeling. With its concentration on modeling and simulation, Introduction to Device Modeling and Circuit Simulation is the core book on SPICE-oriented semiconductor device modeling.
