The Romans built enduring bridges well before Newton came along,
armed simply with a working knowledge of mechanics and materials.
In contrast, today's bridge building is an elaborate enterprise
involving CAD tools, composite materials and acoustic imaging. When
technology is pushed to its limits, a working knowledge proves
inadequate, and an in-depth understanding of core physical
principles, both macroscopic and microscopic, top-down vs
bottom-up, becomes essential.We find ourselves today at a similar
crossroad in semiconductor device technology, where a working
knowledge of solid state electronics is no longer enough. Faced
with the prohibitive cost of computing and the slowdown of chip
manufacturing, device scaling and the global supply chain, the
semiconductor industry is forced to explore alternate platforms
such as 2-D materials, spintronics, analog processing and quantum
engineering.This book combines top-down classical device physics
with bottom-up quantum transport in a single venue to provide the
basis for such a scientific exploration. It is essential, easy
reading for beginning undergraduate and practicing graduate
students, physicists unfamiliar with device engineering and
engineers untrained in quantum physics. With just a modest
pre-requisite of freshman maths, the book works quickly through key
concepts in quantum physics, Matlab exercises and original
homeworks, to cover a wide range of topics from chemical bonding to
Hofstader butterflies, domain walls to Chern insulators, solar
cells to photodiodes, FinFETs to Majorana fermions. For the
practicing device engineer, it provides new concepts such as the
quantum of resistance, while for the practicing quantum physicist,
it provides new contexts such as the tunnel transistor.
