Short Description
MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductors) are the ceramic semiconductors that are responsible for today's electronic revolution. These materials' ability to hold an electric charge allowed the transistor to replace the vacuum tube and paved the way for the miniaturization of electronic goods. This paperback reprint of a landmark text on the subject allows a new generation of engineers and scientists to grasp the fundamentals behind this pivotal technology.
Explains the theoretical and experimental foundations of the measurement of the electrical properties of the MOS system and the technology for controlling its properties. Emphasizes the silica and the silica-silicon interface. Provides a critical assessment of the literature, corrects incomplete or incorrect theoretical formulations, and gives critical comparisons of measurement methods. Contains information needed to grow an oxide, make an MOS capacitor array, and fabricate an integrated circuit with optimal performance and stability.
