1.		CMOS VLSI Design: A Circuits and Systems Perspective (4th Edition) from Addison Wesley Price: $89.95 Customer Review: While CMOS is the working horse of the electronics industry, there are very few good comprehensive (and readable) books on the subject. This is especially so if your university education focused mainly on software. A solid understanding of electronics is necessary to understand literature on CMOS... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Physics of Semiconductor Devices from Wiley-Interscience Price: $59.98 Customer Review: This is such a valuable overview and basic reference book for the physics of semiconductor devices. I know of no better book for clarity, organization of material and basic-thoroughness, covering so many diffent devices.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Solid State Electronic Devices (6th Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $96.19 Customer Review: The edition is older and since its print many values have been rediscovered through more accurate experimentation. The processes taught and the math, however, will never change. My only concern about the book was quite a few examples had the decimal in the wrong place so always check the books... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		Semiconductor Device Fundamentals from Addison Wesley Price: $123.59 Customer Review: This textbook is excellent, it is the basic, number one point of starting the journey into the device world. Clear, concise, written as it shuold be done. To someone this book will seem to be very simple, not enough details coverd and not many devices like SET or SOI. To other people this... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Signal and Power Integrity - Simplified from Prentice Hall Customer Review: I was assigned this book for graduate coursework, and it is wonderful. I have a very limited background in signal integrity, so I can say that this book should be perfect for any electrical engineer or engineering student with a couple years of standard EE coursework under their belt. It is one of... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

The author very effectively presents electronic materials in ways that... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		CMOS Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation, Revised Second Edition from Wiley-IEEE Press Price: $40.14 Customer Review: This book contains enough information to get you started on analog CMOS design. The scope of CMOS design is vast, so even with 900 pages, it is impossible to cover every topic in great depth. So I don't fault the authors for being superficial on some areas. This is the book mostly for analog CMOS... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

14.		The Design of CMOS Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuits from Cambridge University Press Price: $147.88 Customer Review: I used the Design of CMOS RF IC as one of a couple books in an RFIC design course. As others have pointed out there are fewer derivations then you see in your typical book. Instead the author has chosen to impart wisdom through the written word. There are of course some equations but far fewer then... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

22.		Tom Swift and His Great Searchlight; or, on the border for Uncle Sam Customer Review: The Tom Swift series, and other children's books from the early twentieth century, will probably not enthrall today's technologically sophisticated youngsters.

29.	[no image]	Thin Film Materials: Stress, Defect Formation and Surface Evolution from Cambridge University Press Customer Review: I like this book for it is a rather comprehensive treatment of the subject, and is written in a clear prose. However, one should realize that the focus is solely on the mechanical behavior of thin films, which could be attributed to the authors background and research interests. Virtually, all... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
