Most of the recent texts on compact modeling are limited to a particular class of semiconductor devices and do not provide comprehensive coverage of the field. Having a single comprehensive reference for the compact models of most commonly used semiconductor devices (both active and passive) represents a significant advantage for the reader. Indeed, several kinds of semiconductor devices are routinely encountered in a single IC design or in a single modeling support group. Compact Modeling includes mostly the material that after several years of IC design applications has been found both theoretically sound and practically significant. Assigning the individual chapters to the groups responsible for the definitive work on the subject assures the highest possible degree of expertise on each of the covered models.

Additional text
From the reviews:
“This excellent reference covers a niche in the recent development of compact modeling for integrated circuit systems. The book can serve as a guide to current research based on the down-scaling of semiconductor devices, particularly for device physicists, electrical engineers and applied mathematicians. The reader will benefit in particular from the coverage of statistical modeling, which treats stochastic system variability and other random effects … . Each chapter is well documented with references, and the underlying theory for each device class is well demonstrated.” (Axel Mainzer Koenig, Optics & Photonics News, May, 2011)
