Introduction to Device Modeling and Circuit Simulation

This book is a useful reference for practicing electrical engineers as well as a textbook for a junior/senior or graduate level course in electrical engineering. The authors combine two subjects: device modeling and circuit simulation – by providing a large number of well-prepared examples of circuit simulations immediately following the description of many device models.

Tor A. Fjeldly received his MSc from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and his PhD from Brown University. He is a professor at UniK-University Graduate Center and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, an adjunct professor at the University of Oslo, a visiting professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, as well as a Fellow of the IEEE and an elected member of the Norwegian Academy of Technical Sciences.

Trond Ytterdal received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the Norwegian Institute of Technology, University of Trondheim, Trondheim, Norway, in 1990 and 1995, respectively. From 1995 to 1996, he was a Research Associate with the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Virginia, Charlottesville. from 1996 to 1997, he was a Research Scientist with the Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering Department, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY. from 1997 to 2000, he was a Senior ASIC Designer with Nordic VLSI, Trondheim. Since 2000, he has been on the faculty of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim. Michael S. Shur received an MSEE (with honors) from St. Petersburg Electrotechnical Institute and a PhD in Physics and a doctor of science degree from A. F. Ioffe Institute. From 1989 to 1996, he was John Money Professor at the University of Virginia, where he served as director of the Applied ElectroPhysics Laboratory. He is currently Roberts Professor of Solid State Electronics, Professor of Physics, Professor of Information Technology, and Director of the Center for Broadband Data Transport Science and Technology at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. A Fellow of IEEE and Fellow of APS, he is the author of Introduction to Electronic Devices and coauthor, with Professor Fjeldly and Trund Ytterdal, of Introduction to Device Modeling and Circuit Simulation, both published by Wiley.
