Lecture Notes Electronic

This book discusses unified noise models of the broadest set of electronic components including, resistors, diodes, all types of transistors, and most types of opto-electronic devices. The noise, however, is a phenomenon which is inherent to any technology. It is omnipresent. It is obstructing every application and in many cases special actions must be undertaken to recognize the main function’s signal in the mistiness of the noise. The number of types of noise sources in electronics is almost unlimited. The book offers unique comprehensive approach to noise analysis in electronic circuits based on modified nodal analysis and the superposition theorem. It also encompasses a broadest set of low noise amplifier design procedures covering BJT, MOSET, MESFET, and HEMT technologies.

Plasma processing of semiconductors is an interdisciplinary field requiring knowledge of both plasma physics and chemical engineering. The two authors are experts in each of these fields, and their collaboration results in the merging of these fields with a common terminology. Basic plasma concepts are introduced painlessly to those who have studied undergraduate electromagnetics but have had no previous exposure to plasmas. Unnecessarily detailed derivations are omitted; yet the reader is led to understand in some depth those concepts, such as the structure of sheaths, that are important in the design and operation of plasma processing reactors. Physicists not accustomed to low-temperature plasmas are introduced to chemical kinetics, surface science, and molecular spectroscopy. The material has been condensed to suit a nine-week graduate course, but it is sufficient to bring the reader up to date on current problems such as copper interconnects, low-k and high-k dielectrics, and oxide damage. Students will appreciate the web-style layout with ample color illustrations opposite the text, with ample room for notes.

A modern and concise treatment of the solid state electronic devices that are fundamental to electronic systems and information technology is provided in this book. The main devices that
