About this Item

Paperback. This book is the fourth volume in the New Era Electronics lecture notes series, a compilation of volumes defining the important concepts tied to the electronics transition happening in the 21st century.The lectures in this volume are about the underlying physics that makes semiconductor devices possible. The treatment is physical and intuitive the text is descriptive, not heavily mathematical. The lectures are designed to be broadly accessible to students in science or engineering and to working engineers. They present an electrical engineering perspective, but those in other fields may find them a useful introduction to the approach that has guided the development of semiconductor technology for more than 75 years.For those who use semiconductor devices, these lectures provide an understanding of the physics that underlies their operation. For those developing semiconductor technologies these lectures provide a starting point for diving deeper into the physics, chemistry, and materials science relevant to semiconductors. Those who have taken advanced courses will see how specific topics fit into a broader framework. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Synopsis

This book is the fourth volume in the New Era Electronics lecture notes series, a compilation of volumes defining the important concepts tied to the electronics transition happening in the 21st century. The lectures in this volume are about the underlying physics that makes semiconductor devices possible. The treatment is physical and intuitive — the text is descriptive, not heavily mathematical. The lectures are designed to be broadly accessible to students in science or engineering and to working engineers. They present an electrical engineering perspective, but those in other fields may find them a useful introduction to the approach that has guided the development of semiconductor technology for more than 75 years. For those who use semiconductor devices, these lectures provide an understanding of the physics that underlies their operation. For those developing semiconductor technologies these lectures provide a starting point for diving deeper into the physics, chemistry, and materials science relevant to semiconductors. Those who have taken advanced courses will see how specific topics fit into a broader framework.

About the Author

Mark Lundstrom is the Don and Carol Scifres Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University and currently serves as Senior Advisor to the President and as Purdue's Chief Semiconductor Officer. He has served as Purdue's Dean of Engineering twice.

Lundstrom earned his BEE and MSEE degrees from the University of Minnesota and his PhD at Purdue University. He began his career in industry working on semiconductor research and manufacturing. His research and teaching at Purdue have focused on semiconductor materials and devices. He is best known for his work on the scaling limits of MOSFETs, which supported the design and manufacturing of transistors at the 10 nanometer length scale. He also founded nanoHUB, one of the very first examples of cloud computing, which, since 1996, has offered online access to semiconductor simulation tools and open-content educational resources to a global community.

Lundstrom has authored numerous research papers and is the author of five books. He has received several awards for his teaching, research, and outreach and was elected to the US National Academy of Engineering for leadership in microelectronics and nanoelectronics.
