Jerzy Ruzyllo - Guide to Semiconductor Engineering
Guide to Semiconductor Engineering
Jerzy Ruzyllo1 (Pennsylvania State University, USA)
World Scientific Book Series. March 2020
This Guide to Semiconductor Engineering is concerned with semiconductor materials, devices and process technologies which in combination are the driving force behind the unprecedented growth of our technical civilization over the last half a century. This book was conceived and written keeping in mind those who need to learn about semiconductor engineering, who are professionally associated with select aspects of this technical domain and want to see it in a broader context, or are simply interested in semiconductors. In its coverage of semiconductor engineering this Guide departs from textbook-style, monothematic in-depth coverage of topics such as the physics of semiconductors and semiconductor devices, the manufacturing of semiconductor devices and circuits, and the characterization of semiconductor materials. Instead, it covers the entire field of semiconductor engineering in one concise volume with synergistic interactions between various areas clearly identified. It is a holistic approach to the coverage of semiconductor engineering which makes this guide unique among books covering semiconductor related issues available on the market today.

Compact Source-Gated Transistor Analog Circuits for Ubiquitous Sensors
In IEEE Sensors. Jul 18, 2020
Abstract: Silicon-based digital electronics have evolved over decades through an aggressive scaling process following Moore’s law with increasingly complex device structures. Simultaneously, large-area electronics have continued to rely on the same field-effect transistor structure with minimal evolution. This limitation has resulted in less than ideal circuit designs, with increased complexity to account for shortcomings in material properties and process control. At present, this situation is holding back the development of novel systems required for printed and flexible electronic applications beyond the Internet of Things. In this work we demonstrate the opportunity offered by the source-gated transistor’s unique properties for low-cost, highly functional large-area applications in two extremely compact circuit blocks. Polysilicon common-source amplifiers show 49 dB gain, the highest reported for a twotransistor unipolar circuit. Current mirrors fabricated in polysilicon and InGaZnO have, in addition to excellent current copying performance, the ability to control the temperature dependence (degrees of positive, neutral or negative) of output current solely by choice of relative transistor geometry, giving further flexibility to the design engineer. Application examples are proposed, including local amplification of sensor output for improved signal integrity, as well as temperature-regulated delay stages and timing circuits for homeostatic operation in future wearables. Numerous applications will benefit from these highly competitive compact circuit designs with robust performance, improved energy efficiency and tolerance to geometrical variations: sensor front-ends, temperature sensors, pixel drivers, bias analog blocks and high-gain amplifiers.
