Electronic materials, Parasuraman S — MM5017 The book is developed based on the course notes of ’Electronic materials, devices, and fabrication’. It is designed to develop an understanding of the materials, devices, and processing techniques used in the current semiconductor industry. The course is geared towards advanced undergraduate and graduate students with a background in Metallurgy, Mechanical, Chemical and Electrical engineering.The course provides the students with the basic physics behind semiconductor materials, types of semiconductors, and the reason for the dominance of silicon in the electronics industry. The course also covers the basics of devices with emphasis on their electronic characteristics. Optical devices like LEDs, lasers, solar cells, will also be explained. The current manufacturing processes in the silicon based semiconductor industry, starting from silicon wafer production to final IC (integrated circuit) development, will be explained. The focus will be on industry challenges during miniaturization and the role of materials in overcoming the challenges. Along with the chapters there are problem sets to help understand the concepts clearly.The PDFs have been prepared in LATEX, using Texmaker and MiKTeX. The final book compilation was done using the Springer format for monographs, that is freely available online. The format has not been modified. The cover page was made using PSTricks. devices, and fabrication Parasuraman Swaminathan
