Semiconductor Microdevices and Materials (HRW Series in Electrical and Computer Engineering)

This text is an accurate, concise introduction to semiconductor materials, IC device design, and IC chip fabrication processes. Students will benefit from the brief introduction to the fundamentals of semiconductor materials, which emphasizes (for example) the advantages of using GaAs instead of Si for the fabrication of certain devices. Navon explains how to use computer modeling in analysis and design, and provides numerous practical, relevant worked problems to reinforce the material.
