EBOOK - Theory of Semiconductor Devices (Karl Hess) | Cộng đồng Kỹ thuật cơ điện Việt Nam EBOOKBKMT

EBOOK - Lý thuyết về thiết bị bán dẫn (Karl Hess) - 338 Trang.

This book evolved from my earlier bookofthe same title. Chapters have been added (e.g., one on laser diodes); others have beencompletelyrewritten (e.g., the chapter on the Boltzmann equation). Semiconductordevices are now the substrates ofinformation and computation-the substrates of Internet browsers that sift with great speed through a world of information and represent the information visually to the user, and the substrates of artificial intelligence. They form the basis of allcomputerchips, of solar cell arrays, and of the newer red lights on cars. They are essential in fiber communications, and laser diodes are among the mostsophisticated semi conductor devices. They are truly ubiquitous and can be found in increasing numbers in cars, kitchens and even in electronic door locks. Trillions of the basic semiconductordevices,p-njunctiondiodes, are fabricated daily, and Moore'slaw of increasing the integration and reducing the device size every 18 months has been persistently obeyed.

Mygoal is to present a description of the theoretical concepts underlying device function and to cover device theory from the principles of condensed matter physics and chemistry to the numerical mathematics of device simulation tools, all in a form understandablefor anyone who knows advanced calculus and some numerical algorithms important for the solution of the device equations, the Boltzmann equation, and the Schroedingerequation. This goal could not be achieved. Instead I have presented only an overview of some of the most important concepts of selected devices. To obtain a truly broad knowledge of device theory, the reader will need to study additional books that are referenced, particularly theSolidStateTheoryedited by Landsberg, the encyclopedicdescriptionof most devices by Sze, and the text on numerical device simulation by Selberherr.
