Analysis and Simulation of Heterostructure Devices

Communication and information systems are subject to rapid and highly so­ phisticated changes. Currently semiconductor heterostructure devices, such as Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors (HBTs) and High Electron Mobility Transis­ tors (HEMTs), are among the fastest and most advanced high-frequency d...
