Semiconductor Devices: Physics and Technology

【About the Author】
S. M. Sze is UMC Chair Professor of the National Chiao Tung University and President of the National Nano Device Laboratories, Taiwan, R.O.C. For many years he was a member of the technical staff at Bell Laboratories. Professor Sze is the co-inventor of nonvolatile semiconductor memory. He has written numerous texts on device physics, including PHYSICS OF SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES, considered a reference classic. In 1991, he received the IEEE J. J. Ebers award for his “fundamental and pioneering contributions to semiconductor devices.” He received his PhD in solid-state electronic from Stanford University in 1963.
