Book Description
Across 17 chapters, Semiconductor Devices covers the theory and application of discrete semiconductor devices including various types of diodes, bipolar junction transistors, JFETs, MOSFETs and IGBTs. Applications include rectifying, clipping, clamping, switching, small signal amplifiers and followers, and class A, B and D power amplifiers. Focusing on practical aspects of analysis and design, interpretations of device data sheets are integrated throughout the chapters. Computer simulations of circuit responses are included as well. Each chapter features a set of learning objectives, numerous sample problems, and a variety of exercises designed to hone and test circuit design and analysis skills. Now in its second edition, Semiconductor Devices earned praise from university reviewers: “This book is well organized (and) introduces the basic concepts with clear definitions and terminologies.” “Each chapter discusses one dedicated topic, and it is easy for the reader to focus on the content.” “The features and applications of semiconductor devices are described accurately by the text, the equations, and the graphics in this book. The semiconductor devices that are discussed…are the popular ones in industry. They are not likely to be discarded in the near future.” “Overall, I would recommend adopting this book”. A companion laboratory manual is also available. This is the print version of the on-line OER. The current revision number and date are version 2.0.10, 04 August 2026.
