Physics of Semiconductor Devices 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. Concepts are introduced to the reader in a simple way, often using comparisons to everyday-life experiences such as simple fluid mechanics. They are then explained in depth and mathematical developments are fully described. Physics of Semiconductor Devices contains a list of problems that can be used as homework assignments or can be solved in class to exemplify the theory. Many of these problems make use of Matlab and are aimed at illustrating theoretical concepts in a graphical manner.

FinFETs and Other Multi-Gate Transistors provides a comprehensive description of the physics, technology and circuit applications of multigate field-effect transistors (FETs). It explains the physics and properties of these devices, how they are fabricated and how circuit designers can use them to improve the performances of integrated circuits. The International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) recognizes the importance of these devices and places them in the "Advanced non-classical CMOS devices" category. Of all the existing multigate devices, the FinFET is the most widely known.FinFETs and Other Multi-Gate Transistors is dedicated to the different facets of multigate FET technology and is written by leading experts in the field.

This text describes the different facets of SOI technology. SOI chips are now commercially available and SOI wafer manufacturers have gone public. SOI has finally made it out of the academic world and is now a big concern for every major semiconductor company. SOI technology has indeed deserved serious recognition: high-temperature (400`C), extremely rad-hard (500 Mrad(Si)), high-density (16 Mb, 0.9-volt DRAM), high-speed (several GHz) and low-voltage (0.5 V) SOI circuits have been demonstrated. Strategic choices in favour of the use of SOI for low-voltage, low-power portable systems have been made by several major semiconductor manufacturers. This second edition presents a complete and state-of-the-art review of SOI materials, devices and circuits. SOI fabrication and characterization techniques, SOI device processing, the physics of the SOI MOSFET as well as that of SOI other devices, and the performances of SOI circuits are discussed in detail. The SOI specialist should find this book useful as a source of compiled references covering the different aspects of SOI technology.For the non-specialist, the book serves as an introduction to the topic with detailed, yet simple and clear explanations. The book is aimed at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. It includes the new materials, devices, and circuit concepts which have been devised since the publication of the first edition. The circuit sections, in particular, have been updated to present the performances of SOI devices for low-voltage, low-power applications, as well as for high-temperature, smart-power, and DRAM applications. The other sections, such as those describing SOI materials, the physics of the SOI MOSFET and other devices have been updated to present the state of the art in SOI technology.

Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) Technology reviews the past decade of research, presenting developments which have elapsed between the early SOI fabrication techniques and current VLSI and high-speed SOI circuits. The book explains the principles and the physics of SOI materials fabrication and characterization, SOI processing SOI MOSFET device physics, and the use of SOI material in novel device design. The performances of SOI circuits for VLSI/ULSI and for niche applications are also described. The SOI specialist will find this book invaluable as a source of compiled references covering the different aspects of SOI technology. For the non-specialist, the book serves as an excellent introduction to the topic with guidelines for possible future SOI activity. Simple descriptions of the materials, characterization, design, processing and device options are gathered from the literature, and detailed descriptions of the most important areas of SOI technology are presented.Silicon-on-Insulator Technology may also be used as a textbook for students who want to learn more about the fabrication techniques for silicon-on-insulator materials, the specific techniques developed to characterize thin silicon films, the physics of thin-film silicon devices and the potential of SOI and three-dimensional integrated circuits.

This textbook 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 prerequisite, this text requires mathematics through differential equations and modern physic, where students are introduced to quantum mechanics. Concepts are introduced to the reader in a simple way, often using comparisons to everyday-life experiences such as simple fluid mechanics. They are then explained in depth and mathematical developments are fully described. The text contains a list of problems that can be used as homework assignments or can be solved in class to exemplify the theory. Many of these problems make use of Matlab and are aimed at illustrating theoretical concepts in a graphical manner. A series of these Matlab problems is based on a simple finite-element solution of semiconductor equations. These yield the exact solution to equations that have no analytical solutions and are usually solved using approximations, such as the depletion approximation.The exact numerical solution can then be graphically compared to the solution using the approximation.

Silicon-on-Insulator Technology: Materials to VLSI, Third Edition, retraces the evolution of SOI materials, devices and circuits over a period of roughly twenty years. Twenty years of progress, research and development during which SOI material fabrication techniques have been born and abandoned, devices have been invented and forgotten, but, most importantly, twenty years during which SOI Technology has little by little proven it could outperform bulk silicon in every possible way. The turn of the century turned out to be a milestone for the semiconductor industry, as high-quality SOI wafers suddenly became available in large quantities. From then on, it took only a few years to witness the use of SOI technology in a wealth of applications ranging from audio amplifiers and wristwatches to 64-bit microprocessors. This book presents a complete and state-of-the-art review of SOI materials, devices and circuits. SOI fabrication and characterization techniques, SOI CMOS processing, and the physics of the SOI MOSFET receive an in-depth analysis.
