The book gives in detail the basic concepts and theories of both semiconductor and device physics and analog electronic circuits. Semiconductor Devices and Circuits is divided into two parts. Part I Semiconductor Devices provides an exhaustive coverage of all important topics such as crystal structures, fabrication technology, basic semiconductor physics, excess carriers and transport processes, junction diodes, bipolar junction transistors, MOS capacitors, and field-effect transistors (both JFETs and MOSFETs). Part II Analog Circuits deals with topics such as biasing, amplifiers, output stages, frequency response, feedback, stability, compensation, operational amplifiers, and oscillators. Written in a lucid and student-friendly style, each chapter starts with the fundamental concepts and gradually dwells on more advanced concepts with the help of detailed explanations and illustrations. Numerous solved examples in each chapter expose the students to the problem solving techniques, and the practice problems at the end of each chapter challenge readers to test their understanding of the concepts. Salient Features Presents a strong and well-balanced combination of semiconductor physics, devices, and analog circuits Up-to-date and detailed coverage of MOSFETs and operational amplifiers Includes numerous practice problems and solved examples
