Modern Semiconductor Devices For Integrated Circuits __exclusive__ Jun 2026

Modern system-on-chips (SoCs) integrate power management circuits. Two devices dominate:

Samsung was first to mass-produce GAA (MBCFET™) at 3nm (2022), followed by TSMC’s N2 (2nm) slated for 2025-2026. Intel’s 20A and 18A nodes also adopt GAA (RibbonFET). This device architecture is expected to carry the industry through the 1.5nm node and beyond. modern semiconductor devices for integrated circuits

While older classics like Physics of Semiconductor Devices by Sze are encyclopedic reference bibles, and books by Pierret are dense with derivations, Hu’s book is distinct because it is It focuses heavily on the MOSFET (the workhorse of the IC industry) and does not get bogged down in obscure device history (like vacuum tubes or early BJTs) that is less relevant to modern VLSI design. modern semiconductor devices for integrated circuits
