Product Description
Numerical analysis and simulation has become a basic methodology in device research and development. This text gives a thorough review and judgement of the various physical and mathematical models which are in use all over the world today. A compact and critical reference with many citations is provided, it is particularly relevant to authors of device simulation programs. The book provides a very detailed treatment of the state-of-the-art and highly specialized numerical methods for device simulation servers in an hierarchical manner, both as an introduction for newcomers and a worthwhile reference for the experienced reader.

4 out of 5 stars Good Starting Point for Building a Foundation   February 17, 2003
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Though 20 years old, or "lacking modern ... issues" as the previous reviewer said, this book presents the fundamental material of semiconductor device modeling in a logical and organized way. Though recent developments are not covered in this book, the fundamentals of how to discretize a PDE (i.e., poisson eqn, continuity eqs, etc) using finite difference methods, etc., don't change, and this book is a good starter for learning that. If you want to understand the concepts behind device simulators like DESSIS, MEDICI, PISCES, etc., this is a good place to start.

I'd give it 5 stars if it was written in the later 90's, and therefore had up to date info on mobility and recombination models, etc, and more on the hydrodynamic formulations.


3 out of 5 stars Great starter for those into device modeling   January 9, 2001
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I have often referenced this book for due to the nature of my graduate research. It is a good introduction to the finer points of semiconductor device modeling. (The stuff not really emphasized at the undergraduate level) However, this book is lacking with respect to many modern device structures and issues. (e. g. power transistors, HEMT's, III-V compound information) I still recommend it as reference material.
