This book is a useful reference for practicing electrical engineers as well as a textbook for a junior/senior or graduate level course in electrical engineering. The authors combine two subjects: device modeling and circuit simulation - by providing a large number of well-prepared examples of circuit simulations immediately following the description of many device models.

A study of the principles, methodology and prototypes of sensing skin-like devices and related intelligence and software. "Sensitive skins" are large-area and flexible arrays of sensors integrated onto the entire surface of machines. Sensitive skin will endow these machines with the senses of proximity, touch, pressure, temperature, and chemical/biological agents, thus making possible the use of unsupervised machines in unstructured and unpredictable surroundings. Being transducers producing massive data flow, sensitive skin devices will constitute yet another advance in the information revolution.

A thorough reference that sheds light on the promising field of solid-state lighting Solid-state lighting is a rapidly emerging field. Light Emitting Diodes are already used in traffic signals, signage/contour lighting, large area displays, and automotive applications. But its greatest future lies in the possibility of applying solid-state lamps to general lighting. Solid-state lighting promises to reduce energy consumption as much as fifty percent, cut down on carbon-dioxide emission, and even spur the development of a completely new lighting industry. Giving this important emerging field the attention it deserves, Introduction to Solid-State Lighting comprehensively covers: The history of lighting The characterization of visible light Conventional light sources LED basics Extraction of light from high-brightness LEDs White LED Applications of solid-state lamps

This book gives readers enough knowledge of the required principles so they can adapt the knowledge to new materials and types of devices. As device dimensions shrink and more exotic compound semiconductor materials are used in electronic circuits, the physics involved in understanding the device behavior becomes more complicated and more fascinating.

Honorary Doctorate, St. Petersburg State Technology University, 1994.
He received his master"s degree in Electrical Engineering from Saint St. Petersburg Electrotechnical Institute. Shur has held research or faculty positions at the Armed Forces Ioffe Institute, Wayne State University, Oakland University, Cornell University, International Business Machines Corporation T.J. Watson Center, and the University of Minnesota. From 1989 to 1996, he was the John Money Professor at the University of Virginia, where he served as the director of the Applied Electrophysics Laboratories in 1996.
He moved to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1996.
Shur has led many research efforts in diverse fields related to semiconductor devices, solid-state physics, and engineering, such as plasma wave electronics, thin film transistors, laser technology, sub micrometre field effect transistors, terahertz technology, Surface Acoustic and Acousto-Optic devices. Having written over 1,000 technical publications, the Institute for Scientific Information, an organization which tracks citations, lists him as one of the most quoted researchers in his field
He has also authored, co-authored, or served as editor for 32 books As of 2004, he holds 27 patents for a wide variety of microelectronic innovations. in 2007 the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Donald G.
