This book treats the advancements of semiconductor device physics. It covers the physics behind various semiconductor devices based on the latest developments. In addition to background information of novel device concepts beyond mainstream IC technology (”beyond Moore” or ”beyond CMOS”), it also explains the physics of some of novel devices commonly used in the so-called ”more than Moore” route, such as heterojunction bipolar transistors and power devices.

For this foreknowledge of basic semiconductor physics and also semiconductor device physics is needed.
