Explains how transistors work to form integrated circuits that run computers and complex communications systems and discusses the many uses of transistors in the past, present, and future.

Gate Dielectrics focusses on dielectric films satisfying the superior quality gate dielectric even in large-scale integration. The information presented is rather up to date with regard to nanometer-range ultrathin gate-dielectric films, which are indispensible for submicrometer ULSIs.

The editors and authors present a wealth of knowledge regarding the most relevant aspects in the field of MOS transistor modeling. The variety of subjects and the high quality of content of this volume make it a reference document for researchers and users of MOSFET devices and models. The book can be recommended to everyone who is involved in compact model developments, numerical TCAD modeling, parameter extraction, space-level simulation or model standardization. The book will appeal equally...

This book describes initial efforts, as part of the new Strategic Technology Institute (STI) on carbon electronics, to model and simulate the performance of graphene field-effect transistors (FETs) using macroscopic descriptions that are classical for semiconductor devices. It is argued that the underlying physics that differentiates these devices from their normal semiconductor-based counterparts is most clearly revealed by non-computer-intensive descriptions that allow the designer to compare...

This is a book about real-world design techniques for analog circuits: amplifiers, filters, injection-locked oscillators, phase-locked loops, transimpedance amplifiers, group delay correction circuits, notch filters, and spectrum regrowth in digital radio frequency (RF) transmitters, etc. The book offers practical solutions to analog and RF problems, helping the reader to achieve high-performance circuit and system design. A variety of issues are covered, such as: How to flatten group delay o...

Radio observations of the cosmos are gathered by geoscientists using complex earth-orbiting satellites and ground-based equipment, and by radio astronomers using large ground-based radio telescopes. Signals from natural radio emissions are extremely weak, and the equipment used to measure them is becoming ever-more sophisticated and sensitive. The radio spectrum is also being used by radiating, or "active," services, ranging from aircraft radars to rapidly expanding consumer services such as cel...

Compact Hierarchical Bipolar Transistor Modeling with HiCUM will be of great practical benefit to professionals from the process development, modeling and circuit design community who are interested in the application of bipolar transistors, which include the SiGe:C HBTs fabricated with existing cutting-edge process technology. The book begins with an overview on the different device designs of modern bipolar transistors, along with their relevant operating conditions; while the subsequent chapt...

Want to learn even more about electronics in a fun, hands-on way? If you finished the projects in Make: Electronics, or if you're already familiar with the material in that book, you're ready for Make: More Electronics. Right away, you'll start working on real projects, and you'll explore all the key components and essential principles through the book's collection of experiments. You'll build the circuits first, then learn the theory behind them! This book picks up where Make: Electronics left...
