High Speed Semiconductor Devices

This book focuses on circuit theory when using high speed semiconductor devices. It gives a comprehensive introduction suitable for advanced students of electrical engineering and physics. The book is practically orientated, covering not just the physical limits but also technical feasibility. Extensive exercises with solutions are used to give practical insight and to extend the treatment of the text.

The rapid increase in the speed of semiconductor devices over the last five to ten years has made it essential for circuit designers, whether involved in high speed digital, optoelectronic or microwave circuits, to gain a deeper understanding of the circuit aspects and fundamental behaviour of high speed semiconductor devices. High Speed Semiconductor Devices is the first textbook to focus on this topic. It gives a comprehensive introduction suitable for advanced students of electrical engineering and physics. It is practically oriented considering both physical limits and technical feasibility. It is illustrated with extensive exercises, full solutions and worked examples that give practical insight to and extend the treatment of the text. Professor Beneking's book will be a valuable tutorial and reference for engineers and advanced students involved in high speed circuit design.
