Silicon Components and Processes Self Study: Integrated High-Voltage Transistors and Passive Components

本書是五卷系列中的一本，構成了一個綜合性的自學課程，內容涵蓋矽器件物理、運作模式、特性分析和製造。該系列基於作者多年在學術界和工業界教授半導體的經驗。這些書籍適合用於課堂教學和自學。作者設計的內容使讀者能夠逐步了解半導體，特別是矽元件。書中包含許多插圖、實際範例、以及每章結尾的複習問題和練習題。複習問題的答案和練習題的解答將提供以供「自我檢查」。

Badih El-Kareh is an independent semiconductor consultant. He previously worked with IBM, Texas Instruments, and Micron. He has over 40 years of experience in semiconductor device design, process integration and characterization. This includes the implementation of CMOS and BiCMOS technologies and devices for memory, logic, and analog applications. He authored/ co-authored books on "Introduction to VLSI Silicon Devices", "Fundamentals of Semiconductor Processing Technologies", "Silicon Devices and Process Integration" and "Silicon Analog Components". He authored/co-authored 32 papers and was issued 27 US patents. He also has 21 years of experience in academic and industrial teaching. Dr. El-Kareh is a senior member of IEEE.

Lou Hutter is a veteran of the semiconductor industry. He spent 29 years at Texas Instruments Inc., until 2007, as Director of TI's Mixed-Signal Technology Development organization where he was responsible for worldwide analog, power, SiGe, and mixed-signal technology development, design enablement, production ramps, and transfers that supported every business unit in the company. He was elected a TI Fellow (top 1%). In 2008, he joined Dongbu HiTek, in Seoul, S. Korea, as Senior Vice President and GM of the Analog Foundry, where he was responsible for technology development, design enablement, IP development, and sales and marketing. During his tenure, he helped establish Dongbu HiTek as a leading analog/power foundry. Since 2012, he is the Principal of Lou Hutter Consulting LLC, assisting foundries, IDMs, fabless companies, and others in the areas of analog/power technology, design enablement, and business development. In 2014, he co-founded Cricket Semiconductor to establish India's first high-volume production wafer fab, focused on analog/power technologies. In 2018, he co-founded PDG Automation, focused on automating the layout of power transistors. Lou has 47 U.S. patents, has co-authored over 35 journal articles and one book entitled Silicon Analog Components, now in its 2^nd edition.

Badih El-Kareh 是一位獨立的半導體顧問。他曾在 IBM、德州儀器（Texas Instruments）和美光（Micron）工作，擁有超過 40 年的半導體元件設計、製程整合和特性化經驗。這包括為記憶體、邏輯和類比應用實施 CMOS 和 BiCMOS 技術及元件。他著作或合著的書籍包括《VLSI 矽元件導論》、《半導體製程技術基礎》、《矽元件與製程整合》和《矽類比元件》。他著作或合著了 32 篇論文，並獲得 27 項美國專利。他在學術和工業教學方面也有 21 年的經驗。El-Kareh 博士是 IEEE 的資深會員。

Lou Hutter 是半導體產業的資深人士。他在德州儀器（Texas Instruments Inc.）工作了 29 年，直到 2007 年，擔任 TI 混合信號技術開發組織的總監，負責全球的類比、電源、SiGe 和混合信號技術開發、設計支援、生產提升和轉移，支持公司內的每個業務單位。他被選為 TI Fellow（前 1%）。2008 年，他加入位於南韓首爾的 Dongbu HiTek，擔任類比晶圓廠的高級副總裁和總經理，負責技術開發、設計支援、IP 開發以及銷售和行銷。在他的任期內，他幫助建立 Dongbu HiTek 成為領先的類比/電源晶圓廠。自 2012 年以來，他是 Lou Hutter Consulting LLC 的負責人，協助晶圓廠、IDM、無廠半導體公司及其他在類比/電源技術、設計支援和商業發展方面的需求。2014 年，他共同創立了 Cricket Semiconductor，旨在建立印度第一個高產量的生產晶圓廠，專注於類比/電源技術。2018 年，他共同創立了 PDG Automation，專注於自動化電源晶體管的佈局。Lou 擁有 47 項美國專利，合著超過 35 篇期刊文章和一本名為《矽類比元件》的書籍，該書目前已進入第二版。
