Kurt Hoffmann sets out to solve the various problems associated with the design and integration of integrated circuit components and provides the reader with the methodology used simple equations to estimate the geometry of transistors and circuit behavior can be inferred. The scope of this vast unique book ranges from field effect transistor design, MOS transistor modeling and the basics of digital CMOS circuit design through to MOS memory architecture and design. Combines coverage of semiconductor physics, digital VLSI design and analog integrated circuits in one volume for the first time. Drawing on experience in both industry and academia, Hoffmann? Outstanding text, will prove an invaluable resource for designers, practicing engineers in the field of semiconductors and electronic devices and industrial systems Postgraduate students of microelectronics, electrical and computer engineering.
