Features: This book comprehensively covers the structure, fundamental principles, design principles, and application characteristics of various existing important power semiconductor devices. It organically connects the design of power devices, the physical processes within devices, and the application characteristics of devices. The content progresses from basic semiconductor properties and fundamental semiconductor structures to the manufacturing and simulation of devices, and then to the application of power semiconductor devices. It establishes a series of device models with varying levels and increasing complexity, explaining the basic knowledge of these models for different important power semiconductor devices. This enables users of power semiconductor devices to gain a thorough understanding of the structure, function, characteristics, and features of key power devices (both discrete and integrated). Additionally, the book introduces packaging, cooling, reliability operating conditions, and future materials and devices for power devices. This book can serve as a reference for engineering and technical personnel in the fields of microelectronics and power electronics, as well as a supplementary textbook or reference for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in related disciplines.
