About this book This volume provides thorough coverage of modern semiconductor devices -including hetero- and homo-junction devices-using a two-dimensional simulator (MEDICI) to perform the analysis and generate simulation results. Each device is examined in terms of dc, ac, and transient simulator results; relevant device physics; and implications for design and analysis. Two hundred forty-four useful figures illustrate the physical mechanisms and characteristics of the devices simulated. Comprehensive and carefully organized, Semiconductor Device Physics and Simulation is the ideal bridge from device physics to practical device design. Table of contents Introduction. P-N Junction.
