Semiconductor Technology: Processing and Integration - by Bill Fraley (Hardcover)

About the Book

Semiconductor technology forms the backbone of modern electronics, enabling the development of devices from microprocessors to solar cells. Silicon is the most widely used semiconductor material due to its abundance and controllable electrical properties. The technology revolves around manipulating silicon through doping (adding impurities) to create n-type (electron-rich) and p-type (electron-deficient) regions, crucial for forming transistors and diodes--the building blocks of electronic circuits. Continuous advancements in semiconductor fabrication techniques, such as photolithography and etching, have enabled the shrinking of transistor sizes, leading to faster, smaller, and more energy-efficient devices. The topics included in this book on semiconductor technology are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. Such selected concepts that redefine this area have been presented in this book. This book will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in this field.
