Functions of semiconductor devices

Semiconductor devices are the basis of Electronics, a ubiquitous field today at home (TV, refrigerator, washing machine), at the office (computer), on the street (ATM, traffic management) or on us (smartphone, laptop, tablet, smart-watch). With the help of semiconductor devices (diodes, transistors) electronic circuits are built, then the electronic systems. Therefore, a good knowledge of semiconductor devices and their associated functions is essential for an electronic engineer. This book covers the functions of the main electronic devices (diodes, MOS and junction field-effect transistors, bipolar transistors) that are present in analog electronic systems in the field of digital-analog mixed signal processing (e.g. in the mobile phone) and in intelligence artificial AI, with a very high development at present.

The work is addressed to people interested in Micro- and Nano-electronics and who want to improve their level of knowledge in this field.
