Combining coverage of semiconductor physics, digital VLSI design, and analog integrated circuits, Hoffmann (electrical engineering, University of the Bundeswehr, Germany) introduces the basic behavior of semiconductor components for integrated circuit devices and their influence on digital, analog, and memory circuits in this text bridging the gap between semiconductor device physics and practical circuit design. The book covers the design of both digital and analog circuits in CMOS and BiCMOS technologies, and provides readers with a methodology for deducing equations for the estimation of transistor geometries and circuit behavior. Chapter problems are included.
