Download or read book The Physics of Semiconductors written by Kevin F. Brennan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-02-13 with total page 784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern fabrication techniques have made it possible to produce semiconductor devices whose dimensions are so small that quantum mechanical effects dominate their behavior. This book describes the key elements of quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and solid-state physics that are necessary in understanding these modern semiconductor devices. The author begins with a review of elementary quantum mechanics, and then describes more advanced topics, such as multiple quantum wells. He then disusses equilibrium and nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. Following this introduction, he provides a thorough treatment of solid-state physics, covering electron motion in periodic potentials, electron-phonon interaction, and recombination processes. The final four chapters deal exclusively with real devices, such as semiconductor lasers, photodiodes, flat panel displays, and MOSFETs. The book contains many homework exercises and is suitable as a textbook for electrical engineering, materials science, or physics students taking courses in solid-state device physics. It will also be a valuable reference for practising engineers in optoelectronics and related areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The world-wide proliferation of cellular networks has revolutionized telecommunication systems. The transition from Analog to Digital RF technology enabled substantial increase in voice traffic using available spectrum, and subsequently the delivery of digitally based text messaging, graphics and even streaming video. The deployment of digital networks has required migration to multi-carrier RF power amplifiers with stringent demands on linearity and efficiency. This book describes the physics, design considerations and RF performance of silicon power Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) that are at the heart of the power amplifiers. The recent invention and commercialization of RF power MOSFETs based on the super-linear mode of operation is described in this book for the first time. In addition to the analytical treatment of the physics, extensive description of transistor operation is provided by using the results of numerical simulations. Many novel power MOSFET structures are analyzed and their performance is compared with those of the laterally-diffused (LD) MOSFET that are currently used in 2G and 3G networks."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Modeling and Characterization of RF and Microwave Power FETs written by Peter Aaen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-06-25 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive exposition of FET modeling, and is a must-have resource for seasoned professionals and new graduates in the RF and microwave power amplifier design and modeling community. In it, you will find descriptions of characterization and measurement techniques, analysis methods, and the simulator implementation, model verification and validation procedures that are needed to produce a transistor model that can be used with confidence by the circuit designer. Written by semiconductor industry professionals with many years' device modeling experience in LDMOS and III-V technologies, this was the first book to address the modeling requirements specific to high-power RF transistors. A technology-independent approach is described, addressing thermal effects, scaling issues, nonlinear modeling, and in-package matching networks. These are illustrated using the current market-leading high-power RF technology, LDMOS, as well as with III-V power devices.

Baca and published by The Electrochemical Society. This book was released on 2000 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proceedings were published before the two symposia actually took place, and some of the papers presented were not received in time. The 21 that did make it discuss compound semiconductors from perspectives of recent developments in materials, growth, characterization, processing, device fabrication, and reliability. Among the specific topics are the non-crystallographic wet etching of gallium arsenide, fabricating an integrated optics One to Two optical switch, and the fabrication and materials characterization of pulsed laser deposited nickel silicide ohmic contacts to 4H n-SiC.

This book was released on 2010-04-27 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on reliability and radiation effects in compound semiconductors, which have evolved rapidly during the last 15 years. It starts with first principles, and shows how advances in device design and manufacturing have suppressed many of the older reliability mechanisms.It is the first book that comprehensively covers reliability and radiation effects in optoelectronic as well as microelectronic devices. It contrasts reliability mechanisms of compound semiconductors with those of silicon-based devices, and shows that the reliability of many compound semiconductors has improved to the level where they can be used for ten years or more with low failure rates.

Download or read book Nonlinear Design FETs and HEMTs written by Peter H. Ladbrooke and published by Artech House. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite its continuing popularity, the so-called standard circuit model of compound semiconductor field-effect transistors (FETs) and high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) is shown to have a limitation for nonlinear analysis and design: it is valid only in the static limit. When the voltages and currents are time-varying, as they must be for these devices to have any practical use, the model progressively fails for higher specification circuits. This book shows how to reform the standard model to render it fully compliant with the way FETs and HEMTs actually function, thus rendering it valid dynamically. Proof-of-principle is demonstrated for several practical circuits, including a frequency doubler and amplifiers with demanding performance criteria. Methods for extracting both the reformulated model and the standard model are described, including a scheme for re-constructing from S-parameters the bias-dependent dynamic (or RF) I(V) characteristics along which devices work in real-world applications, and as needed for the design of nonlinear circuits using harmonic-balance and time-domain simulators. The book includes a historical review of how variations on the standard model theme evolved, leading up to one of the most widely used—the Angelov (or Chalmers) model.
