Semiconductors: Enabling the Information Age, an MIT Faculty-Licensed Publication

The idea behind bytesize books is to explain complex technical fields in a way that everyone can understand. Semiconductors: Enabling the Information Age, is an introduction to semiconductors written with licensed MIT faculty material from the course 6.012, "Microelectronic Devices and Circuits" for this book. The text is written so that is accessible to everyone, but also contains enough material that it will help current students of the course.

Every computer, cell phone, digital camera, automobile monitoring system, and solar panel on Earth owe their existence to semiconductors and their unique properties.. Semiconductors are often hidden from view, but their functions are vitally important in our lives. This bytesize book will walk you through semiconductor technology, from the physics of the materials through basic digital logic.

A table of contents is included.
