Solid State and Microelectronics Technology

Solid State amp; Microelectronics Technology is a comprehensive textbook designed for courses in solid state device physics as part of electronics / electrical engineering and IT courses. The book has two main objectives aimed at students and the future engineer: 1) to deliver knowledge of quantum physics and 2) to familiarize them with modern device types and fabrication processes. The breadth of subjects covered in the book serves a useful integrative function in combining fundamental science with applications. Recent developments are illustrated thoughtfully to encourage the reader to adopt this field as their research area. Key features- Adopts a twin approach to learning about solid state devices by blending information about fundamental science with the latest fabrication technology- Covers topics recently introduced into current curricula to cater to the demands of modern engineering- Provides foundational information on quantum physics, semiconductors and electronics- Provides details about advanced devices such as BiCMOS, MESFET and FinFet devices- Encourages readers to pursue further research with detailed illustrations and references Cover Title Copyright End User License Agreement Contents Preface Fundamentals of Semiconductor Physics Fundamentals of p – n Junction Metal Semiconductor Contacts Schottky Diodes Junction Field Effect Transistor Metal Oxide Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) Semiconductor Devices Silicon Oxidation Diffusion Ion Implantation MEMS in Improved Efficiency Lithography Subject Index Back Cover
