Gain complete understanding of electronic systems and their
constituent parts. From the origins of the semiconductor industry
right up until today, this book serves as a technical primer to
semiconductor technology. Spanning design and manufacturing to the
basic physics of electricity, it provides a comprehensive base of
understanding from transistor to iPhone. Melding an accessible,
conversational style with over 100 diagrams and illustrations,
Understanding Semiconductors provides clear explanations of
technical concepts going deep enough to fully explain key
vernacular, mechanisms, and basic processes, without getting lost
in the supporting theories or the theories that support the
supporting theories. Concepts are tethered to the real world with
crisp analysis of industry dynamics and future trends. As a break
from the straight-ahead scientific concepts that keep the world of
semiconductors spinning, Understanding Semiconductors is liberally
sprinkled with apt analogies that elucidate difficult concepts. For
example, when describing the relationship between voltage, current,
power, and the flow of electricity through an electronic system,
the book draws a parallel to a hot shower and the water utility
system. Most of these are paired with clear visuals, giving you the
best chance possible to absorb the concept at hand before moving on
to the next topic. Whether you're narrowly technical or don't know
silicon from silly putty, working directly in hardware technologies
and want to know more, or simply a curious person seeking hard
information about the technology that powers the modern world,
Understanding Semiconductors will be an informative, dependable
resource. What You'll Learn: Charge, Electricity, and Basic Physics
What are Semiconductors The Semiconductor Value Chain and Design
Trade-Offs Transistors and Other Common Circuit Building Blocks
Semiconductor Design from Concept to Tapeout Wafer Fabrication and
Semiconductor Manufacturing Process Integrated Circuit (IC)
Packaging and Signal & Power Integrity (SIPI) Common Circuits
and System Components RF and Wireless Technologies System
Architecture and Integration The Semiconductor Industry -
Challenges, History, and Trends The Future of Semiconductors and
Electronic Systems Who This Book Is For: People working directly in
the semiconductor, electronics, and hardware technologies fields or
in supporting industries, hobbyists and new electrical engineering
enthusiasts with minimal technical experience or pre-existing
qualifications, and curious individuals interested in learning more
about a fascinating area of technology. Though designed for a non-
or semi-technical reader, engineers focused in one particular
domain can also use this book to broaden their understanding in
areas that aren't directly related to their core area of expertise.
