Download or read book Introductory Semiconductor Device Physics for Chip Design and Manufacturing written by Mary Lanzerotti and published by Springer. This book was released on 2020-08-15 with total page 855 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook book discusses fundamental semiconductor physics of devices and on-chip interconnections and links these concepts to engineering applications and case studies of computer chips. The book is organized in three parts. The first part deals with the representation of information and computation. The second part covers semiconductor device physics within the context of computation. The third part reviews chip design and semiconductor fabrication. The book includes relevant equations, with the aim of closing the gap in the existing literature with actual case studies and engineering applications. Examples are provided in each chapter to illustrate physical and electrical concepts through the use of high-performance silicon technologies.
