Fundamentals of Carrier Transport [Paperback]

An accessible introduction to the behaviour of charged carriers in semiconductors and semiconductor devices.Fundamentals of Carrier Transport is an accessible introduction to the behavior of charged carriers in semiconductors and semiconductor devices. It is written specifically for engineers and students without an extensive background in quantum mechanics and solid-state physics. This second edition contains many new and updated sections, including a completely new chapter on transport in ultrasmall devices. The book will be of great interest to graduate students of electrical engineering and applied physics. It will also be invaluable to practising engineers working on semiconductor device research and development.Fundamentals of Carrier Transport is an accessible introduction to the behavior of charged carriers in semiconductors and semiconductor devices.

This second edition contains many new and updated sections, including a completely new chapter on transport in ultrasmall devices and coverage of full band transport. Lundstrom also covers both low- and high-field transport, scattering, transport in devices, and transport in mesoscopic systems. He explains in detail the use of Monte Carlo simulation methods and provides many homework exercises along with a variety of worked examples. Whatlc›
