MOSFET Theory and Design

"This text could support a first undergraduate course in physical electronics that begins with MOSFETs even before students start electromagnetics. Dielectric constant is demystified with atomic pictorials in an Appendix. Alternatively, students previously introduced to semiconductor physics can appreciate the graduated descent into finer levels of MOSFET modeling and the last chapter, MOSFET-BJT Performance Comparisons."--Arthur Uhlir, Tufts University
