Electronic Circuits - Practical Learning
If you want to know that a circuit is doing what it is supposed to do, then you need to see the voltage waveforms at each circuit node. That is why an oscilloscope is an indispensable tool that enables practical learning. Practical learning requires knowing how to use measuring instruments such as an oscilloscope, what measurements to make, how to make the measurements, and how to use the tools of the trade. This text provides that knowledge, and more, as listed in the table of contents. Acquiring this knowledge involves a significant effort and a reasonable expenditure of cash if you are proceeding on a do-it-yourself basis. Implementing practical learning requires you to spend cash on tools, a breadboard, electrical components, and test equipment. A problem with lots of so called practical learning is that it does not prepare you to move on to what we consider to be the real stuff - i.e. the theoretical basis of electronics which allows you to tackle almost any electronic design project, which we hope is your desire. If you simply want to do electronics as an interesting hobby, then this book provides a solid, non trivial, basis for that. Non trivial - that's the key phrase the essential property of this book. Assuming you move on to the real stuff the practical learning here is essentially what you would learn on your first design project job. Knowledge that is a practical extension of knowledge learned while acquiring a BS degree in electrical or computer engineering. There is no question in our mind that if you plowed your way through this book while pursuing a BSEE (or equivalent) you would not only do better in the BSEE program you would be ahead of the game while in school and at whatever job you took. In fact you would be in a better position to select a job. Theory teaches you through the experience of others. Theoretical knowledge can often lead to a deeper understand of a concept through seeing it in context of a greater whole and understanding the why behind it. Practical knowledge helps you acquire the specific techniques that become the tools of your trade. Spice programs are sprinkled throughout the text. Their purpose is to show the correct data you can compare to the data your measurements produce.

Elements of Electromigration
In this invaluable resource for graduate students and practicing professionals, Tu and Liu provide a comprehensive account of electromigration and give a practical guide on how to manage its effects in microelectronic devices, especially newer devices that make use of 3D architectures.In the era of big data and artificial intelligence, next-generation microelectronic devices for consumers must be smaller, consume less power, cost less, and, most importantly, have higher functionality and reliability than ever before. However, with miniaturization, the average current density increases, and so does the probability of electromigration failure. This book covers all critical elements of electromigration, including basic theory, various failure modes induced by electromigration, methods to prevent failure, and equations for predicting mean-time-to-failure. Furthermore, effects such as stress, Joule heating, current crowding, and oxidation on electromigration are covered, and the new and modified mean-time-to-failure equations based on low entropy production are given. Readers will be able to apply this information to the design and application of microelectronic devices to minimize the risk of electromigration-induced failure in microelectronic devices.This book essential for anyone who wants to understand these critical elements and minimize their effects. It is particularly valuable for both graduate students of electrical engineering and materials science engineering and engineers working in the semiconductor and electronic packaging technology industries.
