Product Description
With all the clarity and hands-on practicality of the best-selling first edition, this revised version explains the ins and outs of SPICE, plus gives new data on modeling advanced devices such as MESFETs, ISFETs, and thyristors. And because it's the only book that describes the models themselves, it helps readers gain maximum value from SPICE, rather than just telling them how to run the program. This guide is also distinctive in covering both MOS and FET models. Step by step, it takes the reader through the modeling process, providing complete information on a variety of semiconductor devices for designing specific circuit applications. These include: Pn junction and Schottky diodes; bipolar junction transistor (BJT); junction field effect transistor (JFET); metal oxide semiconductor transistor (MOST); metal semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET); ion sensitive field effect transistor (ISFET); semiconductor controlled rectifier (SCR-thyristor).

4.0 out of 5 stars A helpful book to understand semiconductor model, April 22, 2000

By	Muhammad Subhan Iswahyudi (Indonesia) - See all my reviews

Spice is a software package that become a de facto standar in circuit simulation. But as in any other circuit simulator we need to define the accurate input model to get the accurate results. And this book describe in more detail the components that is used in almost any electronic circuit, i.e. semiconductor devices. The value that is a credit point for this book is not just how detail the description of the semiconductor model is in order to get the accurate parameters but also how to use those parameters in Spice. So, for you who new to this circuit simulator there is no need to worry because this book explain how the circuit model is built using Spice. And for you who need the basic theory of semiconductor model the book gives two nice appendices on that one. One chapter that is need to be explored in more detail is about noise and distortion (hopefully in the next edition the editor could have more on that topic). Finally, this is a "must be read" book for you who want to get excellent results in modelling electronic circuit.

(For you who understand more clearly in Indonesian) Spice adalah sebuah paket aplikasi yang secara defacto merupakan standar untuk simulai dan analisa rangkaian elektronik. Namun secara umum berlaku pula bahwa untuk menghasilkan simulasi rangkaian elektronik secara akurat dibutuhkan parameter-parameter yang akurat pula untuk setiap modelnya. Buku ini memberikan ulasan mendalam tentang parameter-parameter bagi pemodelan device semikonduktor. Kelebihan yang dimiliki buku ini tidak hanya pada bagaimana penghitungan dan pengukuran parameter untuk model tersebut tetapi bagaimana menggunakannya pada simulasi rangkaian menggunakan SPICE. Bagi Anda yang baru mendalami spice jangan khawatir karena buku ini juga memberikan ulasan tentang sistem pemodelan dalam spice. Sebaliknya bagi anda yang baru dalam pemodelan semikonduktor buku ini juga memberikan apendiks tentang teori dasar semikonduktor. Satu hal yang mungkin perlu dibahas lebih mendalam adalah tentang Nose dan Distorsi (mudah-mudahan dalam edisi berikutnya materi ini dapat lebih dikembangkan). Kesimpulannya, buku ini merupakan suatu buku yang wajib dibaca bila anda ingin lebih akurat dalam menjalankan simulasi rangkaian elektronik yang menggunakan semikonduktor.
