I must revise my previous comment about this book. I am suprised to find this 2nd edition was re-printed in 2012. The quality of this reprinted version is as good as I expect. the binding is good. I thought to increase the rating to 5 star. But one thing make me to rate one star to 4 star. Why the seller did not state the bad quality of binding of 2009-edition hardcover? We want to pay for a good book, not only good in content but also in quality.
///////////////////////////////////////////////
In fact this is the one of the first books about device physics I have ever read. I have no background in device design but I am interested in and have some knowledge of the physics in device. I learn a lot after I finish the first round of read of this book. You need to have some basic knowledge of device physics before reading the book. You cannot only rely on this book to be a guru in device physics. What this book does best is to show all the relevant aspects in device physics and add proper amount of equation to make explanation. This is too concise for the beginner to understand but it is good for an engineer involved in this field for several years.I have to mention that there are some bolded words in each chapter of the book. They are in fact the insight from author's tens of years of device design experience. I stronly recommend you to read and read again. This book is not for one-time use. You must read it and think about the words and equations again and again. From the content and organization of this book I rate it 4.5 or 5 star.
But what really disappoint me is that the binding quality of hardcover version is too bad. I always buy hardcover version book if I think the author is authoritive in the field and the content and writing is very good. I am afraid that my book will fall apart after frequent of use. I am not sure if this is the reason why the price of hardcover is slash down to close to the paperback. I rate 2 star for its binding quality.
So the total is 3 or 3.5 star.
This is the best book currently available on device electronics. Written by renown contributors to the field from IBM, it takes the complexity of integrated semiconductor devices down to its first-order, industry-proven essentials. In this respect, "Fundamentals of Modern VLSI Devices" comes in line with what I consider to be the epitoms of the class of lasting transistor books, Alvin Phillips' "Transistor Engineering" (McGraw-Hill 1962) and Andrew Grove's "Physics and Technology of Semiconductor Devices" (Wiley, 1967). The treatment of the subject matter is outstandingly thorough, covering the basic device physics and technology integration of bipolar and field-effect metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOSFET) and highlighting the subtle tradeoffs involved in modern transistor design and optimization. The approach is first-order analytical, with refrainment from the use of computer-simulations tools that would have run the risk of diminishing the teaching strength of the book. Equations and parameters provided are checked continuously against the reality of silicon data. This makes the book invaluably useful in practical transitor design as well as in the classroom. I keep it on my desk at all times. The bipolar-transitor part takes the reader all the way from the classical junction transistor to the modern polysilicon-emitter, SiGe-base variety. The MOSFET part is equally sweeping, coming as far as to the technology node (gate length) of 100 nm. Each chapter concludes with real-life exercises that actually extend the depth of analysis, getting the reader directly involved.
If you seek to understand devices from a physical point of view this book just fails to live up to it.I read the chapters on MOSFETs' thoroughly and also the section of second chapter which describes MOS capacitor.The feel you get when you read the book is somewhat hard to write, it has all the relevant equations but lacks a physical insight.For example the quantum confinement of the inversion layer is so briefly described that someone reading the topic for the first time will never be able to make sense out of it.For those who know device physics, rather well, this book provides great material, drawn primarily from the authors' experience at IBM's T J watson research lab.As a suggestion Dr.Taur has a few papers, available online for free download at IBM's research and development journal,it will be a good idea to explore it and the other allied material appearing there.For the starter I will suggest to pick up Tsividis book on "Operation and modeling of MOS Transistor" and concurrently try the present volume.A better physical model can be developed.
I like this book because it is very organized written and it explains the concepts in a very intuitive and clear way. Good textbook for grad students learning device fundamentals. But it may be too simplified for the people who want to know all the details and physical origins.
Good quality
