This book, now in its Second Edition, provides a basis for understanding the characteristics, working principle, operation and limitations of semi-conductor devices. In this new edition, many sections are re-written to present the concepts related to device physics in more clearer and easy to understand manner. The primary objective of this textbook is to provide all the relevant topics on the semiconductor materials and semiconductor devices in a single volume. It includes enough mathematical expressions to provide a good foundation for the basic understanding of the semiconductor devices. It covers not only the state-of-the-art devices but also future approaches that go beyond the current technology. Designed primarily as a text for the postgraduate students of physics and electronics, the book would also be useful for the undergraduate students of electronics and electrical engineering, and electronics and communi-cation engineering. Highlights of the Book : Includes topics on the latest technologies Covers important points in each chapter Provides a number of solved and unsolved problems along with explanation type questions Emphasizes on the mathematical derivation

This new text by Denton J. Dailey covers both discrete and integrated components. Among the many features that students will find helpful in understanding the material are the following: Concept icons in the margins signify that topical coverage relates to other fields and areas of electronics, such as communications, microprocessors, and digital electronics. These icons help the reader to answer the question, "Why is it important for me to learn this?" Key terms presented in each chapter are defined in the margins to reinforce students' understanding. Chapter objectives introduce each chapter and provide students with a roadmap of topics to be covered.

This book provides a detailed treatment of radiation effects in electronic devices, including effects at the material, device, and circuit levels. The emphasis is on transient effects caused by single ionizing particles (single-event effects and soft errors) and effects produced by the cumulative energy deposited by the radiation (total ionizing dose effects). Bipolar (Si and SiGe), metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS), and compound semiconductor technologies are discussed. In addition to considering the specific issues associated with high-performance devices and technologies, the book includes the background material necessary for understanding radiation effects at a more general level.

This textbook for a one-semester course in Electrical Circuits and Devices is written to be concise, understandable, and applicable. Every new concept is illustrated with numerous examples and figures, in order to facilitate learning. The simple and clear style of presentation is complemented by a spiral and modular approach to the topic. This method supports the learning of those who are new to the field, as well as provides in-depth coverage for those who are more experienced. The author discusses electronic devices using a spiral approach, in which key devices such as diodes and transistors are first covered with simple models that beginning students can easily understand. After the reader has grasped the fundamental concepts, the topics are covered again with greater depth in the latter chapters.

About The Book: Understanding basic operational and applications of electronic devices is fundamental in understanding the functional and design aspects of electronics techniques, sub-system or system irrespective of whether it is analog or digital. The study of electronics devices and circuits is essential since majority of electronics systems have both analog and digital content. Though present day electronics is dominated by linear and digital integrated circuits, the importance of discrete devices cannot be undervalued as they continue to be used in large numbers in a variety of electronic circuits. In addition, understanding operational basics of these devices makes it easier to understand more complex integrated circuits. This textbook covers electronic devices and circuits in entirety, for undergraduate and graduate level courses. This study is pertinent for students of electronics, electrical, communication, instrumentation and control, information technology and even computer science engineering.

This book, intended as a first text for the students of electronics, emphasizes the basic working principles and operations of semiconductor devices and teaches the reader how to analyze and design electronic circuits using various devices.
