Opis

High-Speed Heterostructure Devices describes modern high-speed semiconductor devices intended for both graduate students and practicing engineers. The book details the underlying physics of heterostructures as well as some of the most recent techniques for modeling and simulating these devices. The emphasis is on heterostructure devices of the immediate future such as the MODFET, HBT and RTD. The authors also introduce the operating principles of other devices, including the Bloch Oscillator, RITD, Gunn diode, quantum cascade laser and SOI and LD MOSFETs. The book comes with a complete set of homework problems and a web link to MATLAB programs.

Recenzje

"...the book is clear and easy to use. The material is presented in an engaging manner and the reader is guided expertly through the territory of heterostructure devices. Apart from its intended use as a book for graduate students, it will be sought after by researchers and engineers, as it presents research material which is disseminated throughout the research literature and has never before been presented together in a book."
