Editorial Reviews

Product Description
KEY BENEFIT: This book describes device physics and circuit design in the context of modern microelectronics integrated circuit technology. KEY TOPICS: It introduces approaches to learning the core device physics and analog/digital circuit concepts that make the subject more accessible to the current generation of students. The authors have designed a concise, concentrated presentation, limiting coverage to only those concepts necessary for the understanding of devices and circuits.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best derivations for PN, BJT,MOS cap and MOSFET !!!, July 31, 1999

By	[e-mail] "steinsh" (ISRAEL) - See all my reviews

This is one of the best books explaining the pn junction, bipolar transistors, MOS capacitor , and the MOSFET. The derivation are extremely clear and logical,and every question that you think of is answered in the next line. This book is for someone who already have taken some course in electronics, and who really wants some solid understanding of the devices, all that without being a genious in semiconductor physics. Gauss's low, and KVL is almost all that is needed. Derivations are extremely clear, and thorough.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worthless, April 23, 2002

By A Customer

As a Cornell student, this ranks as the worst course textbook for any electrical engineering course in the department. The author does not proceed in a logical manner at all, instead preferring to "revisit" the material. The derivations are extremely sketchy, and in the end all of the problems become "plug and chug." You will not feel as if you've learned anything after going through this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars No a very good book for beginners!!!, October 5, 1998

By A Customer

This is a terrible book for beginners in electrical engineering. It makes even the simplest topics difficult to understand. The attempt of the book was to give readers a broad view of electrical engineering, about device of many kinds, but what it actually did was "scaring" students away. Absolutely the worst book for introduction to devices..... a good starting book would be something like the one written by Pierret F Robert......... <<<<<PB>>>>
