Preface
In the area of modeling of silicon devices it's fair to say that there have been no major revolution in either technology development or teaching methods within the last decade - evolution is the driving force of the IC industry. As a student more than 20 years ago I cut my first "device engineering teeth" on notes which were prepared by a committee of academic and industrial experts who collectively created the first curricula to teach device physics and electronics. Out of those notes have evolved at least two generations of device text books from across the United States and around the world. The areas of MaS and bipolar device physics are well-covered in virtually all of the available texts and there are many of them that include opto-electronic, compound material and heterojunction devices as well. Moreover, there is a growing literature in the area of advanced device physics and especially for quantum devices. Hence, when we undertook the task of writing this book we had no illusions of making a fundamental breakthrough in the classical text book sense. However, this book does present a new conceptual framework for teaching technology and device design. It allows the student and teacher to actively participate in the learning process by doing things in a new way - "hands-on" learning by means of simulation. In the following I will briefly mention how the teaching techniques are different and to suggest ways to incorporate this approach into existing curricula.
For those of you familiar with circuit analysis and design, the SPICE program is a household word and an essential tool. Over the last decade there indeed has been a revolution in the availability and use of SPICE in teaching electronic circuits. Nonlinear device effects are embedded in the device models, yet students can quickly use SPICE to solve not only dc bias problems but ac small-signal and transient problems for complex and realistic circuits. Over the last decade, there has been steady progress in development and wide acceptance of CAD programs
