Physics of Semiconductor Devices is a textbook aimed at college undergraduate and graduate teaching. It covers both basic classic topics such as energy band theory and the gradual-channel model of the MOSFET as well as advanced concepts and devices such as MOSFET short-channel effects, low-dimensional devices and single-electron transistors. As a...
While the idea of cleverly using silicon–germanium (SiGe) and silicon (Si) strained-layer epitaxy to
practice bandgap engineering of semiconductor devices in the highly manufacturable Si material system
is an old one, only in the past decade has this concept become a practical reality. The final success of
creating novel Si...
