The #1 book in the industry--now revised & updated!

A perfect introduction to the industry that's the backbone of the technology revolution, industry insider Peter Van Zant's Microchip Fabrication is a highly popular, novice-friendly guide to the entire process of semiconductor processing--from raw materials through shipping the finished, packaged device. Used for training, teaching, and vo-tech programs, and tailor-made for any semiconductor professional, Microchip Fabrication features a straightforward, math-free approach. And it details semiconductors from the inside out, covering science basics, it's fascinating history, and the latest technical leap forward. Inside, you'll follow semiconductors through every stage of fabrication. Testing, manufacturing processes, commercial integrated circuit types, and packaging are all explained in simple, nontechnical language. Along the way, Van Zant introduces challenging quizzes and review summaries that make Microchip Fabrication an ideal text or self-study guide. By the time you've finished this informative "guided tour," you'll have a solid working knowledge of all the important issues and processes, materials and methods involved in semiconductor technology, whether on the sub-atomic level or in the context of large-scale industrial practices.
