This book examines in detail how a semiconductor device is designed and fabricated to satisfy best the requirements of the target application. The author presents and explains both basic and state-of-art semiconductor industry standards used in large/small signal equivalent circuit models for semiconductor devices that electronics engineers routinely use in their design calculations. The presentation includes detailed, step-by-step information on how a semiconductor device is fabricated, and the very sophisticated supporting technologies used in the process flow. The author also explains how standard laboratory equipment can be used to extract useful performance metrics of a semiconductor device.

This book presents a novel, automated, accurate and unified scheme to design and determine the performance characteristics of standalone planar, spiral inductors and multiple coupled planar spiral inductors (as in embedded transformers), for RF/microwave MMIC designers. The author demonstrates with a set of analysis/design examples a novel scheme that exploits judiciously the existing transmission theory and concepts, organizing and condensing available, scattered information/knowledge about planar spiral inductor, embedded planar transformer and planar antenna design and performance evaluation, into one coherent and unified electronic circuit model easily used by radio frequency electronic circuit engineers. A dedicated chapter contains an exhaustive (19) set of design examples.Presents a bottom-up scheme, starting with  Maxwell's equations of classical electrodynamics and transmission line theory (Telegrapher's equation), specifically microstrips;Demonstrates design of standalone planar, spiral inductors and multiple coupled planar spiral inductors;Includes a  set of ready-to-use, C executables (for both Linux and Windows) , that accept predefined input parameters for each of the sub-circuits discussed and generate SPICE netlists for the equivalent electrical circuit;Automates execution of multi-step design calculations to guarantee their accuracy and reliability.

This book presents a seamless and unified scheme for automating very complicated calculations required to design, evaluate performance characteristics of, and implement broadband and narrow band impedance matching sub-circuits. The results of these automated calculations (the component values of the impedance matching sub-circuit) are formatted as text SPICE(Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) input netlists. Readers then immediately can use any available SPICE simulator to measure the performance characteristics (DC response, transient response, frequency response, RMS power transferred from source to load, reflection coefficient insertion and transmission loss, ans standing wave ratio ¿ SWR). The text SPICE netlist can be edited easily to fine-tune the performance characteristics, and perform design space exploration and ¿what-if¿ type of analyses.Presents details of a coherent, logical and seamless scheme to design and measure the performance characteristics of both broad and narrow band impedance matching sub-circuits;Relieves the designer from having to manually do complex, multi-step(therefore error-prone and time-consuming) calculations, especially those related to broadband impedance matching sub-circuit design;Provides SPICE input netlists, which enable readers to use any available SPICE simulator to estimate the performance characteristics.

This book describes a novel, efficient and powerful scheme for designing and evaluating the performance characteristics of any electronic filter designed with predefined specifications. The presentation includes demonstration of efficient automation, using an ANSI C language program, which accepts any filter design specification (e.g.

This book describes how engineers can make optimum use of the two industry standard analysis/design tools, SystemC and SystemC-AMS, to analyze/understand a given electronic system and explore the design space.
