Synopses & Reviews
This book gives readers enough knowledge of the required principles so they can adapt the knowledge to new materials and types of devices. As device dimensions shrink and more exotic compound semiconductor materials are used in electronic circuits, the physics involved in understanding the device behavior becomes more complicated and more fascinating.
