From the Publisher: Providing an introduction to electronic materials and device concepts for the major areas of current and future information technology, the value of this book lies in its focus on the underlying principles. Illustrated by contemporary examples, these basic principles will hold, despite the rapid developments in this field, especially emphasizing nanoelectronics. There is hardly any field where the links between basic science and application are tighter than in nanoelectronics & information technology. As an example, the design of resonant tunneling transistors, single electron devices or molecular electronic structures is simply inconceivable without delving deep into quantum mechanics. This textbook is primarily aimed at students of physics, electrical engineering and information technology, as well as material science in their 3rd year and higher. It is equally of interest to professionals wanting a broader overview of this hot topic.

The gate leakage currents of MOSFETs increase exponentially with downward scaling, while the gate currents of enhancement-mode JFETs for complementary logic decrease with scaling. In principle, a crossover point could exist below which the JFET may be ...
