Compact Transistor Modelling for Circuit Design (Graaff Henk C. De)(Paperback)

During the first decade following the invention of the transistor, progress in semiconductor device technology advanced rapidly due to an effective synergy of technological discoveries and physical understanding. Through physical reasoning, a feeling for the right assumption and the correct interpretation of experimental findings, a small group of pioneers conceived the major analytic design equations, which are currently to be found in numerous textbooks. Naturally with the growth of specific applications, the description of some characteristic properties became more complicated. For instance, in inte- grated circuits this was due in part to the use of a wider bias range, the addition of inherent parasitic elements and the occurrence of multi- dimensional effects in smaller devices. Since powerful computing aids became available at the same time, complicated situations in complex
