{"product_id":"9783034877329","title":"Three-Dimensional Simulation of Semiconductor Devices","description":"The three-dimensional device simulation has become a necessary tool for the design and investigation of complex device structures. The evolution of the three-dimensional simulation tools is directly linked to the scaling of the devices and the increasing complex­ ity of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) cells. Scaling of MOSFET devices led to a three-dimensional geometry with effects which cannot be handled by two-dimensional simulations anymore. With increasing integration density in DRAMs the third dimen­ sion had to be utilized to realize the storage capacitor. The result­ ing leakage problems have to be investigated and the cell design optimized by means of three-dimensional simulations. This book is intended for senior undergraduate students in applied physics, electrical engineering and computational physics, as well as for scientists and engineers involved in semiconductor device re­ search and development. It is also intended for software engineers and all those who are concerned with simulation. The book will give an overview on the problems and activities con­ cerning three-dimensional device simulation, without the claim of being a classical textbook. It starts from the classical semiconduc­ tor equations, discusses the physical models used in device simu­ lation, describes the discretization and some numerical methods for solving the differential equations. The application of the three­ dimensional simulation to VLSI device engineering is illustrated by a few specific examples.","brand":"Birkhäuser Basel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46351443034353,"sku":"9783034877329","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9783034877329_p0.jpg?v=1765127380","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783034877329","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
