Fundamentals of Semiconductor Devices

by M. Achuthan, K. Bhat

Fundamentals of Semiconductor Devices is a comprehensively written text which deals with both qualitative and quantitative analysis of semiconductor theory & devices. This book is perfect for the first course on Semiconductor Physics and Devices at the UG level. Key Features: Excellent coverage of device capacitance, AC and transient analysis, equivalent circuits and the high frequency performance of these devices. Separate chapters on Analysis of DC and AC properties of devices. Unique to this book is the novel approach of 'complex lifetime' and 'complex stored charge' used to analyze devices. Application-oriented solved as well as practice problems. Visit http://www.mhhe.com/achuthan/fst for web supplements.
