Discrete and Integrated Power Semiconductor Devices : Theory and Applications

A growing need for the application of power semiconductor devices in robotics and automation systems has arisen over the 1990s. This text gives the power semiconductor device user an understanding of the structures, function, characteristics and features of the most important power semiconductor devices and integrated structures plus the influence of construction/technological parameters on important device characteristics. Using physical models the author explains the device structures and functions without the need for complicated mathematical techniques.
