Non-logic Devices in Logic Processes [Paperback]

This book shows readers how to design semiconductor devices using the most common and lowest cost logic CMOS processes. Readers will benefit from the authors extensive, industrial experience and the practical approach he describes for designing efficiently semiconductor devices that typically have to be implemented using specialized processes that are expensive, time-consuming, and low-yield. The author presents an integrated picture of semiconductor device physics and manufacturing techniques, as well as numerous practical examples of device designs that are tried and true.

Yanjun Ma is currently a Director of Portfolio Management and Principal Hardware Architect at the Invention Development Fund at Intellectual Ventures in Bellevue, WA. Prior to his current positions, Yanjun was a principal engineer and a director of Technology Development and Production Engineering at Impinj, Inc. in Seattle, Washington. He also had held senior research and engineering positions at Lattice Semiconductors, Sharp Labs of America as well as research positions at AT&T Bell Labs, Brookhaven National Lab, and the University of Washington.

He started his research career studying high temperature superconductors, quasicrystals, and x-ray physics which led to the discovery of a momentum conservation law in x-ray fluorescence. HilSx
