Publisher's Notes
Circuit, Device and Process Simulation Mathematical and Numerical Aspects Graham F. Carey Walter B. Richardson Coke S. Reed Brian J. Mulvaney This book presents for the first time a unified treatment of the physical processes, mathematical models and numerical techniques for circuit, device and process simulation. At the macroscopic level linear and nonlinear circuit elements are introduced to yield a mathematical model of an integrated circuit. Numerical techniques used to solve this coupled system of ODEs are described. Microscopically, current flow within a transistor is modeled using the drift-diffusion and hydrodynamic PDE systems. Finite difference and finite element methods for spatial discretizations are treated, as are grid generation and refinement, upwinding, and multilevel schemes. At the fabrication level, physical processes such as diffusion, oxidation, and crystal growth are modeled using reaction-diffusion-convection equations. These models require multistep integration techniques and Krylov projection methods for successful implementation. Exercises, programming assignments, and an extensive bibliography are included to reinforce and extend the treatment.

Semiconductor Devices Explained
by Ton J. Mouthaan
Offers an innovative and accessible new approach to the teaching of the fundamentals of semiconductor components by exploiting simulation to explain the mechanisms behind current in semiconductor structures. Simulation is a popular tool used by engineers and scientists in device and process research and the accompanying two dimensional process and device simulation software 'MicroTec', enables students to make their own devices and allows the recreation of real performance under varying parameters. There is also an accompanying ftp site containing ICECREAM software (Integrated Circuits and Electronics group Computerized Remedial Education And Mastering) which improves understanding of the physics involved and covers semiconductor physics, junction diodes, silicon bipolar and MOS transistors and photonic devices like LEDs and lasers. Features include: * MicroTec diskette containing a two-dimensional process and device simulator on which the many simulation exercises mentioned in the text can be performed thereby facilitating learning through experimentation * Computer aided education software (accessible vita ftp) featuring question and answer games, which enables students to enhance their understanding of the physics involved and allows lecturers to set assignments * Broad coverage spanning the common devices: pn junctions, metal semiconductor junctions, photocells, lasers, bipolar transistors, and MOS transistors * Discussion of fundamental concepts and technological principles offering the student a valuable grounding in semiconductor physics * Examination of the implications of recent research on small dimensions, reliability problems and breakdown mechanisms. Semiconductor Devices Explained offers a comprehensive new approach to teaching the fundamentals of semiconductor components based on the use of the accompanying process and device simulation software. Simulation is a popular tool used by engineers and scientists in device and process research. It supports the understanding of basic phenomena by linking the theory to hands on applications and real world problems with semiconductor devices. Throughout the text students are encouraged to augment their understanding by undertaking simulations and creating their own devices. The ICECREAM programme (Integrated Circuits and Electronics group Computerized Remedial Education And Mastering) question and answer game leads students through the concepts of common devices and makes learning fun. There is also a self-test element in which a data bank generates questions on the fundamentals of semiconductor junctions enabling students to assess their progress. Larger projects suitable for use as examination assignments are also incorporated. The test package is freely available to lecturers from the author on request. The remedial component of ICECREAM is available from the Wiley ftp site. MicroTec comes on a disk in the back of the book.

Solid State Electronic Devices
by Ben G. Streetman
This book is designed to help readers gain a basic understanding of semiconductor devices and the physical operating principles behind them. This two-fold approach 1) provides the user with a sound understanding of existing devices, and 2) helps them develop the basic tools with which they can later learn about applications and the latest devices. The piece provides one of the most comprehensive treatments of all the important semiconductor devices, and reflects the most current trends in the technology and theoretical understanding of the devices. FEATURES/BENEFITS NEW—Thoroughly updated to reflect the most current trends in the technology and theoretical understanding of devices. NEW—Expanded description of silicon Czochralski growth, wafer production, and vapor phase epitaxy (Ch. 1). NEW—Clearer discussion of chemical bonding, energy band formation and hole transport (Chs. 2, 3 and 4). NEW—Consolidated coverage of p-n junction diodes and its applications (Ch. 5). NEW—Greatly expanded/updated discussion of device fabrication processes (Ch. 5 and appendices). NEW—Earlier discussion of MOS devices (Ch. 6)—Ahead of bipolar junction transistors—reflects the preponderance of complementary MOS field effect transistors (MOSFETs) in integrated circuits today. NEW—Major revision of chapter on Field Effect Transistors (Ch. 6)—Both in the underlying theory as well as discussion of a variety of short channel, high field and hot carrier effects in scaled, ultra-small MOSFETs. Includes extensive discussions of the current-voltage and capacitance-voltage characteristics of these devices—and the information that can be gleaned from such measurements. NEW—Updated chapter on Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) (Ch. 7)—To reflect current technology. Describes higher-order effects (including the Kirk effect and Webster effect); discusses the Gummel-Poon model (which is more elaborate and physically more accurate than the Ebers-Moll model); and updates the fabrication aspects of BJTs. NEW—Consolidated coverage of optoelectronic devices in a single chapter (Ch. 8)—Brings the discussion of semiconductor lasers into the same chapter as LEDs and detectors Reflects the growing importance of optoelectronics. NEW—Updated coverage of integrated circuits (Ch. 9)—Eliminates outdated material on bipolar processes to reflect the concerted shift to CMOS applications, such as logic and memory integrated circuits. NEW—A section on the insulated gate bipolar transistor (Ch. 11)—A device that is gradually supplanting the semiconductor-controlled rectifier. NEW—Real data—Wherever feasible, replaces idealized current-voltage and capacitance-voltage plots with real data.
Advanced Semiconductor Fundamentals
by Robert F. Pierret
Advanced Semiconductor Fundamentals, Second Edition, by Robert F. Pierret is an advanced level presentation of the underlying functional formalism routinely used in describing the operational behavior of solid state devices. The second edition provides an update of the topic presentation, semiconductor parametric information, and relevant references throughout the volume. There is also a 50% increase in the end-of-chapter problems. Given the success of the first edition, the second edition retains the same overall material coverage and a pedagogical approach in introducing necessary concepts, models, and formalism.
