The Third Edition of the standard textbook and reference in the field of semiconductor devices This classic book has set the standard for advanced study and reference in the semiconductor device field. Now completely updated and reorganized to reflect the tremendous advances in device concepts and performance, this Third Edition remains the most detailed and exhaustive single source of information on the most important semiconductor devices. It gives readers immediate access to detailed descriptions of the underlying physics and performance characteristics of all major bipolar, field-effect, microwave, photonic, and sensor devices. Designed for graduate textbook adoptions and reference needs, this new edition includes: A complete update of the latest developments New devices such as three-dimensional MOSFETs, MODFETs, resonant-tunneling diodes, semiconductor sensors, quantum-cascade lasers, single-electron transistors, real-space transfer devices, and more Materials completely reorganized Problem sets at the end of each chapter All figures reproduced at the highest quality Physics of Semiconductor Devices, Third Edition offers engineers, research scientists, faculty, and students a practical basis for understanding the most important devices in use today and for evaluating future device performance and limitations. A Solutions Manual is available from the editorial department.

S. M. Sze received his PhD in electrical engineering fromStanford University. He was with Bell Telephone Laboratories from1963-1989, joining the faculty of the Department ofElectronics Engineering, National Chiao Tung University (NCTU) in1990. Dr. Sze is currently Distinguished Chair Professor of NCTUand has served as a visiting professor to many academicinstitutions. He has made fundamental and pioneering contributionsto semiconductor devices; of particular importance is hiscoinvention of nonvolatile semiconductor memory such as flashmemory and EEPROM. Dr. Sze has authored, coauthored, or edited over200 technical papers and twelve books. His book Physics ofSemiconductor Devices (Wiley) is one of the most cited works incontemporary engineering and applied science publications (over15,000 citations from ISI Press). Dr. Sze is the recipient ofnumerous awards and holds such titles as Life Fellow of the IEEE,Academician of the Academia Sinica, and member of the US NationalAcademy of Engineering. Kwok K. Ng received his PhD from Columbia University in1979 and BS from Rutgers University in 1975, both in electricalengineering. He joined Bell Laboratories of AT&T in MurrayHill, New Jersey, in 1980, which spun off as part of LucentTechnologies in 1996. He became affiliated with Agere Systems inAllentown, Pennsylvania, as the microelectronics unit becameindependent in 2001. He has been with MVC in San Jose, California,since 2005. Dr. Ng has also held positions as editor of IEEEElectron Device Letters and liaison to IEEE Press. He is the authorof the Complete Guide to Semiconductor Devices, Second Edition(Wiley).
