This book covers modern analog components, their characteristics, and
interactions with process parameters. It serves as a comprehensive
guide, addressing both the theoretical and practical aspects of modern
silicon devices and the relationship between their electrical properties
and processing conditions. Based on the authors' extensive experience in
the development of analog devices, this book is intended for engineers
and scientists in semiconductor research, development and manufacturing.
The problems at the end of each chapter and the numerous charts, figures
and tables also make it appropriate for use as a text in graduate and
advanced undergraduate courses in electrical engineering and materials
science.
-
Enables engineers to understand analog device physics, and discusses
important relations between process integration, device design,
component characteristics, and reliability;
-
Describes in step-by-step fashion the components that are used in
analog designs, the particular characteristics of analog components,
while comparing them to digital applications;
-
Explains the second-order effects in analog devices, and trade-offs
between these effects when designing components and developing an
integrated process for their manufacturing.
