| The purpose of the CRC RF & Microwave Semiconductor Device Handbook is to provide a single volume comprehensive reference for high frequency semiconductor devices. It is intended to be a starting point for programs involving development, technology comparison, or acquisition for RF and wireless semiconductor devices. The articles that comprise the handbook provide important information for practicing engineers in industry, government, and academia. The intended audience also includes microwaveand other electrical engineers requiring information outside of their area of expertise as well as managers, marketers, and technical support workers who need better understanding of the fields driving their decisions.
The book covers every aspect of semiconductor device technology including basic material characteristics, system level concerns and constraints, simulation and modeling of devices, packaging, as well as detailed discussions of device operation. Individual chapters discuss details of the properties and characteristics of each semiconductor device type. Devices included in the text include: Varactors, Schottky diodes, transit-time devices, BJTs, HBTs, MOSFETs, MESFETs, and HEMTs. Additional chapters also examine wide bandgap devices as well as monolithic microwave integration. Finally, all of the articles provide the reader with additional references to related expert literature. |
