Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Series: IOP ebooks

This text treats the modelling and simulation of semiconductor devices in the quantum regime with particles, beginning with the early, and current, views of particles in quantum mechanics, and the full quantum mechanical approaches that make full use of this particle approach. Particle-based simulation techniques of quantum devices have the additional advantage of providing very simple and intuitive ways of understanding the transport of electrons, allowing a demystifying view of quantum phenomena in semiconductor devices. This is the first book to combine quantum transport and particle Monte Carlo techniques with a focus on modern semiconductor devices. Written in clear and accessible language suitable for graduate students, formal and technical details are included in several appendices, and a list of exercises and references for further reading are added at the end of each chapter.

Key Features

First book to combine quantum transport and particle Monte Carlo techniques with a focus on modern semiconductor devices Provides a particle-based view of modelling and simulation of semiconductor devices in the quantum regime Covers the fundamentals of device modelling and simulation Discusses the differences between classical and quantum transport Includes references to research and commercial simulation tools that utilize quantum effects, references to external visualization tools, and a supplementary website with additional content
