Technological advances in the field of materials devices circuits and systems began by the
discovery of new properties of objects or the entrepreneurship with the applications of unique
or practical concepts for commercial goods. To implement products using these findings and
challenges textbook knowledge is usually sufficient. Semiconductor Technologies in the Era of
Electronics therefore does not aim to look deeper in certain areas but it offers a broad and
comprehensive overview of the field to: - Experts of specific knowledge who want to expand the
overall understanding to different areas - Persons who wish to understand the principle of
electronic devices often seen in everyday life - Entrepreneurs interested in the innovations
and changes of semiconductor technologies and overall electronics industry A profound and
theoretical approach is therefore used and special cases essential to understanding these
important concept are presented.
