Power Semiconductorsby Linder
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Explaining the physics and characteristics of power semiconductor devices, this book presents an overview of various classes of power semiconductors. It provides insight into how they work and the characteristics of the various components from the viewpoint of the user, going through all modern power semiconductor device types. The physics are explained in reasonable detail, providing the precise amount of information needed to fully understand the component's behavior in the application. Exploring the specific strengths and weaknesses of each device type, the book demonstrates how these devices fit into the system and how they will behave there. Book News Annotation:Power semiconductor devices, those with ratings exceeding 1 ampere,
are playing an ever-expanding role in technology. While power
semiconductors and integrated circuit chips are basically similar,
power devices rated above 660 V are in a league of their own. E.g.,
they consist of such materials as silicon carbide, gallium nitride,
or diamond rather than simply silicon. Following a crash course on
the atomic model, Linder (ABB Switzerland Research & Development,
near Zurich) overviews the most commonly used types of power
semiconductors (e.g., the pin-diode, thyristor, Integrated Gate
Bipolar Transitor); their characteristics; and behaviors under
different operating conditions. The text includes derivations of
equations and technical appendices. The Swiss publisher is EPFL
Press; US distribution is by CRC.
