Semiconductor Devices

S. M. Sze is UMC Chair Professor of the National Chiao Tung University and President of the National Nano Device Laboratories, Taiwan, R.O.C. For many years he was a member of the technical staff at Bell Laboratories. Professor Sze is the co-inventor of the nonvolatile semiconductor memory. He has written numerous texts on device physics, including PHYSICS OF SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES, considered a reference classic. In 1991, he received the IEEE J. J. Ebers award for his "fundamental and pioneering contributions..." He received his PhD in solid-state electronic from Stanford University in 1963.
