Semiconductor Device Modeling With Spice Book Pdfl

The structure of this book makes it particularly useful as a text to accompanyan analog design course for engineering students. It includes many examples, which are available for download from the author's website.Some examples use PSpice syntax and may need to be translated, e.g. using the ps2macspice script available elsewhere on this website,before they will work with MacSpice and other simulators that use Berkeley syntax.

Semiconductor power electronics plays a dominant role due its increased efficiency and high reliability in various domains including the medium and high electrical drives, automotive and aircraft applications, electrical power conversion, etc. Power/HVMOS Devices Compact Modeling will cover very extensive range of topics related to the development and characterization power/high voltage (HV) semiconductor technologies as well as modeling and simulations of the power/HV devices and smart power integrated circuits (ICs). Emphasis is placed on the practical applications of the advanced semiconductor technologies and the device level compact/spice modeling. This book is intended to provide reference information by selected, leading authorities in their domain of expertise. They are representing both academia and industry. All of them have been chosen because of their intimate knowledge of their subjects as well as their ability to present them in an easily understandable manner.

"Linear and digital power applications have emerged as exciting new fields in integrated electronics. This book provides the necessary, up-to-date tools and techniques to understand HV device phenomena, physics and modeling of the components used in power and HV products."Pekka OjalaSenior Modeling DirectorExar Corporation

I started with the book recommended by the author of LTspice, which is Semiconductor Device Modeling with SPICE (2nd ed.) by Massobrio & Antognetti. At first, I felt completely overwhelmed by this book, but if you can just focus a bunch of time on Chapter 1 (diodes), then you'll find the later chapters are just building off that initial chapter. Maybe reread that chapter a couple times. The later chapters will cover actual parameter extraction techniques, but it's important to know what the parameters are doing first.

This course emphasizes understandingsemiconductor devices from a device modeling perspective. The textbook I havechosen is Understanding Semiconductor Devices, by SimaDimitrijev. Starting with the phenomenologicalstatement of physical processes, the operation of a device is derived fromfundamental principles and the device's materials and design. Emphasis is givento understanding the physics behind SPICE parameters and their measurement.Subjects include the motion of charge carriers in solids, equilibriumstatistics, the electronic structure of solids, doping, non-equilibrium states,the pn junction, the junction transistor, the Schottky diode, the field-effect transistor, thelight-emitting diode, and the photodiode. In my opinion, this textbookprovides a relatively friendly introduction to the subject of device physicsfrom the point of view of electrical engineering at a graduate level. Quantummechanical concepts are used only when needed.

Compact Models for Integrated Circuit Design: Conventional Transistors and Beyond provides a modern treatise on compact models for circuit computer-aided design (CAD). Written by an author with more than 25 years of industry experience in semiconductor processes, devices, and circuit CAD, and more than 10 years of academic experience in teaching compact modeling courses, this first-of-its-kind book on compact SPICE models for very-large-scale-integrated (VLSI) chip design offers a balanced presentation of compact modeling crucial for addressing current modeling challenges and understanding new models for emerging devices.

Compact Models for Integrated Circuit Design: Conventional Transistors and Beyond is intended for senior undergraduate and graduate courses in electrical and electronics engineering as well as for researchers and practitioners working in the area of electron devices. However, even those unfamiliar with semiconductor physics gain a solid grasp of compact modeling concepts from this book. 2b1af7f3a8
