This book is one of a series of five volumes forming an integrated, self-study course on silicon device physics, modes of operation, characterization, and fabrication. The series is based on many years of the author's experience in academic and industrial teaching of semiconductors. The books are suitable for both class-teaching and self-study. The authors have designed the content to enable readers to be introduced gradually to semiconductors, in particular silicon components. The presentation includes many illustrations, practical examples, review questions and problems at the end of each chapter. Answers to review questions and solutions to problems will be provided for "self-check".

Badih El-Kareh is an independent semiconductor consultant. He previously worked with IBM, Texas Instruments, and Micron. He has over 40 years of experience in semiconductor device design, process integration and characterization. This includes the implementation of CMOS and BiCMOS technologies and devices for memory, logic, and analog applications. He authored/ co-authored books on "Introduction to VLSI Silicon Devices", "Fundamentals of Semiconductor Processing Technologies", "Silicon Devices and Process Integration" and "Silicon Analog Components". He authored/co-authored 32 papers and was issued 27 US patents. He also has 21 years of experience in academic and industrial teaching. Dr. El-Kareh is a senior member of IEEE.

Lou Hutter is a veteran of the semiconductor industry. He spent 29 years at Texas Instruments Inc., until 2007, as Director of TI's Mixed-Signal Technology Development organization where he was responsible for worldwide analog, power, SiGe, and mixed-signal technology development, design enablement, production ramps, and transfers that supported every business unit in the company. He was elected a TI Fellow (top 1%). In 2008, he joined Dongbu HiTek, in Seoul, S. Korea, as Senior Vice President and GM of the Analog Foundry, where he was responsible for technology development, design enablement, IP development, and sales and marketing. During his tenure, he helped establish Dongbu HiTek as a leading analog/power foundry. Since 2012, he is the Principal of Lou Hutter Consulting LLC, assisting foundries, IDMs, fabless companies, and others in the areas of analog/power technology, design enablement, and business development. In 2014, he co-founded Cricket Semiconductor to establish India's first high-volume production wafer fab, focused on analog/power technologies. In 2018, he co-founded PDG Automation, focused on automating the layout of power transistors. Lou has 47 U.S. patents, has co-authored over 35 journal articles and one book entitled Silicon Analog Components, now in its 2^nd edition.
