Integrated Power Devices and TCAD Simulation (Paperback)

From power electronics to power integrated circuits (PICs), smart power technologies, devices, and beyond, Integrated Power Devices and TCAD Simulation provides a complete picture of the power management and semiconductor industry. An essential reference for power device engineering students and professionals, the book not only describes the physics inside integrated power semiconductor devices such lateral double-diffused metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (LDMOSFETs), lateral insulated-gate bipolar transistors (LIGBTs), and super junction LDMOSFETs but also delivers a simple introduction to power management systems.

Instead of abstract theoretical treatments and daunting equations, the text uses technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulation examples to explain the design of integrated power semiconductor devices. It also explores next generation power devices such as gallium nitride power high electron mobility transistors (GaN power HEMTs).

Including a virtual process flow for smart PIC technology as well as a hard-to-find technology development organization chart, Integrated Power Devices and TCAD Simulation gives students and junior engineers a head start in the field of power semiconductor devices while helping to fill the gap between power device engineering and power management systems.

從功率電子學到功率集成電路（PICs），智能功率技術、器件等等，《集成功率器件和TCAD模擬》提供了對於功率管理和半導體行業的全面了解。這本書是功率器件工程學生和專業人士的重要參考資料，不僅描述了集成功率半導體器件（如側向雙擴散金屬氧化物半導體場效應晶體管（LDMOSFETs）、側向絕緣閘極雙極晶體管（LIGBTs）和超級結LDMOSFETs）內部的物理原理，還簡單介紹了功率管理系統。

本書不僅避免了抽象的理論論述和令人生畏的方程式，還使用技術計算機輔助設計（TCAD）模擬實例來解釋集成功率半導體器件的設計。它還探討了鎵氮功率高電子遷移率晶體管（GaN功率HEMTs）等下一代功率器件。

《集成功率器件和TCAD模擬》還包括了智能PIC技術的虛擬流程以及難以找到的技術發展組織結構圖，為學生和初級工程師在功率半導體器件領域提供了一個良好的起點，同時有助於填補功率器件工程和功率管理系統之間的差距。
