This book examines in detail how a semiconductor device is designed and fabricated to satisfy best the requirements of the target application. The author presents and explains both basic and state-of-art semiconductor industry standards used in large/small signal equivalent circuit models for semiconductor devices that electronics engineers routinely use in their design calculations. The presentation includes detailed, step-by-step information on how a semiconductor device is fabricated, and the very sophisticated supporting technologies used in the process flow. The author also explains how standard laboratory equipment can be used to extract useful performance metrics of a semiconductor device.

Amal Banerjee had his high school and a small part of his college education in Kolkata India. He then got admitted to the University of Texas at Austin Texas, USA, where he completed his Bachelors and Masters degrees in Physics (with highest honors), and then transferred to the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the same University where he completed a MSE (Master of Science in Engineering) and all his course work for a PhD. During his stay in the USA, he has worked as consulting engineer at a number of high technology companies as Silicon Laboratories, SMC Networks, VI Technology, Object Reservoir Inc., Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation, Austin Texas (MCC) etc., He has also worked as a Research Associate at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories, Berkeley California and Brookhaven National Laboratories, Islip New York. He is now the Engineering Manager at Analog Electronics.
