Physics of semiconductor devices (2nd edition)
Book
·
OSTI ID:5381484
A resume is presented regarding the physics and properties of semiconductors, taking into account aspects of crystal structure, the energy bands, the carrier concentration at thermal equilibrium, carrier transport phenomena, basic equations for semiconductor device operation, and phonon spectra and optical, thermal, and high-field properties of semiconductors. The bipolar devices considered include the p-n junction diode, the bipolar transistor, and thyristors. Unipolar devices are discussed, taking into account metal-semiconductor contacts, JFET and MESFET, the MIS diode and CCD, and MOSFET. A description is provided of special microwave devices, giving attention to tunnel devices, IMPATT and related transit-time diodes, and transferred-electron devices. Photonic devices investigated include LED and semiconductor lasers, photodetectors, and solar cells.
