The brilliance of Sung-Mo Kang’s text lies in its balance between structural theory and practical SPICE simulation parameters. The book is systematically organized to take readers from deep silicon physics to complete chip architectures. 1. Semiconductor Physics and Transistor Models
If you are a student entering the field today, prioritize the Fourth Edition (with Kim as a co-author). If you are a professional looking to polish fundamentals, the Third Edition is excellent.
Summary
It covers everything from basic MOSFET device physics to complex layout considerations and advanced interconnect modeling.
