Fundamentals of Modern VLSI Devices Handbook: A Practical Guide to Semiconductor Physics, MOSFET Scaling, CMOS Technology, and Nanoscale Transistor Design

Every question about how a computer behaves ends at a transistor.How fast a processor can run. Why it burns power doing nothing. Why one node delivered a breakthrough and the next barely moved. All of it comes down to the physics of a device a few tens of nanometers wide - and most engineers were never taught it properly.Introductory courses stop at the long-channel current equation, a model that hasn't described a real transistor in decades. The research literature starts three levels above that. This handbook occupies the gap where working engineers actually spend their careers.Inside, you will find: - Every important result derived, not asserted - with the assumptions stated up front and the breaking point identified at the end- Worked examples that carry units through every step and reach answers you can check- The full arc from carrier statistics to the MOS capacitor, short-channel effects, scaling theory, high-field transport, gate stacks, CMOS integration, FinFET and nanosheet architectures, memory, and reliability- A glossary, a complete equation reference, and material property tables you will return to for yearsWritten for engineers, graduate students, and anyone who would rather understand a device than memorize rules that expire with the next generation.Stop guessing why your devices behave the way they do.
