Features: This book not only includes the basic working principles of quantum mechanics, semiconductor physics, and semiconductor devices (including diodes, field-effect transistors, bipolar transistors, and optoelectronic devices), but also incorporates the latest advancements in modern semiconductor devices and their practical applications. For example: It analyzes and derives formulas for the secondary effects that significantly influence the electrical characteristics of modern small-size devices, providing new mathematical expressions to describe the properties of small-size devices; Considering the increasing application of heterojunctions in field-effect devices, bipolar devices, and optoelectronic devices, the book places special emphasis on semiconductor heterojunctions; Due to advancements in semiconductor manufacturing equipment and process technology, "bandgap engineering" has been achieved, leading to improved device performance. Therefore, in addition to focusing on silicon materials and silicon devices, the book also introduces compound semiconductor devices, alloy devices (such as SiGe, AlGaAs), and heterojunction devices; The book also uses circuit analysis software SPICE to simulate the I-V characteristics of devices and perform steady-state and transient analyses on simple circuits. This book is not only an excellent textbook but is also suitable as a reference for engineers and technicians in the fields of microelectronics and related disciplines. Dr. Betty Lise Anderson is a professor of electrical engineering at the College of Engineering at Ohio State University, where she teaches undergraduate and graduate courses. She has worked in the industry for nine years and has extensive research experience. Currently, she is conducting research on photonic devices used in communications, radar, and information processing. Therefore, the close integration with practical device applications is also a distinctive feature of this book.
