Mr. Richman's textbook is a concise, straightforward introduction to the theory, characteristics, and operation of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and related devices. Beginning with fundamentals, this book provides a physical explanation of the electrical characteristics of MOS transistors, describes MOS technology as it existed in the 1960's, and discusses both linear and digital applications for such devices. It also devotes attention to the fabrication and the use of complementary MOS digital systems and large scale integrated (LSI) arrays.
