SUMMARY

The discussion centers around a book titled "Introduction to IC Design and Applications" by XYZ *son, published in 1979. This book is targeted at electrical engineers seeking to deepen their understanding of the physical principles behind integrated circuit applications. The author emphasizes that engineers often prioritize practical applications over theoretical knowledge, as highlighted by a quote in the introduction. Another book mentioned is "Microelectronic Circuits," which also covers relevant physics but lacks comprehensive detail.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of integrated circuits (ICs)
  • Familiarity with electrical engineering principles
  • Knowledge of microelectronics
  • Awareness of physics concepts relevant to electronics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Introduction to IC Design and Applications" by XYZ *son for historical context
  • Explore "Microelectronic Circuits" for comparative analysis
  • Study the fundamentals of integrated circuit theory
  • Investigate modern IC design tools and methodologies
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, students in electronics, and professionals interested in the historical development of integrated circuit design and its underlying physics.

Hi
I'm looking for a book of which I can't remember exactly the title or the author. It was something along the lines of

"Introduction to IC design and applications"
"Basic IC theory"

by a guy called XYZ *son, I think. It's a little black book from somewhen around 1979 or so. I remember its aimed at electrical engineers and tries to give some physical background to people who know of the applications but who wish to extend their understanding of the underlying physics.
There's a sentence in the first chapter or introduction saying something like "Engineers don't care about electrons and just want to get on with it."

Anybody know what I'm talking about?

Not really, but I know another one called

"Microelectronic Circuits"

It has some physics theory also, though not in complete detail.
