Introduction to Microelectronic Fabrication, Second Edition, by Richard C. Jaeger, is a concise survey of the most up-to-date techniques in the field. It is devoted exclusively to processing and is highlighted by careful explanations, clean, simple language, and numerous fully solved example problems.

The second edition includes an entirely new chapter on MEMS, as well as substantial modifications to the chapters on MOS and bipolar process integration. Also included is new or expanded coverage of lithography and exposure systems, trench isolation, chemical mechanical polishing, shallow junctions, transient enhanced diffusion, copper Damascene processes and process simulation.

The author's goal in writing this text was to present a concise survey of the most up-to-date techniques in the field. It is devoted exclusively to processing, and is highlighted by careful explanations, clear, simple language, and numerous fully-solved example problems. This work assumes a minimal knowledge of integrated circuits and of terminal behavior of electronic components such as resistors, diodes, and MOS and bipolar transistors.
