Microelectronics: An Integrated Approach

A text for an undergraduate course in microelectronics in the context of modern silicon integrated circuit technology, presenting central concepts of analog/digital circuits and basic device physics. Chapters on semiconductor physics and IC technology, MOSFET, bipolar junction transistors, various types of amplifiers, and MOS memories contain numerous exercises, design problems, and worked examples, with selected answers available on a web site. For use in a sequence of core electronics courses. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

This book describes device physics and circuit design in the context of modern microelectronics integrated circuit technology. It introduces approaches to learning the core device physics and analog/digital circuit concepts that make the subject more accessible to the current generation of students. The authors have designed a concise, concentrated presentation, limiting coverage to only those concepts necessary for the understanding of devices and circuits.
