Introductory Semiconductor Device Physics for Chip Design and Manufacturing (Hardcover)
暫譯: 晶片設計與製造的半導體器件物理入門 (精裝版)

An introduction to the fundamentals of semiconductor physics and engineering

This book discusses fundamental semiconductor physics of devices and on-chip interconnections for physicists 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.

Introductory Semiconductor Device Physics for Chip Design and Manufacturing:

• Provides physical descriptions and illustrations with data visualizations to facilitate intuitive understanding of semiconductor physics, devices and on-chip interconnections
• Blends theoretical physics treatment with engineering applications and real case studies for manufactured chips
• Presents complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) transistors in high-performance server microprocessors with static CMOS combinational digital circuit design examples
• Offers a rich array of student problem sets, mid-term exams, and final exams with a glossary at the end of the book
