rof. Ion Boldea is a well-known expert, author, and coauthor of 15 books related to electric machines and drives. After his successful textbook Electric Drives (coauthor of [1]), he and coauthor Lucian Tutelea now present a new textbook devoted to electric machines. In contrast to his last two-volume set on electric generators, which was written in a handbook style [2], this new book has strong tutorial attributes and is designed for three semesters of study: one semester for undergraduate (Part I) and two semesters for a graduate course (Parts II and III). The book consists of 15 chapters grouped in three parts as follows: 1) Part I: Steady State n Introduction n Electric Transformers n Energy Conversion and Types of Electric Machines n Brush-Commutator Armature Windings n Induction Machines: Steady State n Synchronous Machines: Steady State

ower electronic systems experienced tremendous evolution mainly because of advances in power semiconductors: from the first thyristors and power bipolar transistors to the insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) and injection-enhanced IGBT (IEGT), power converters and switching power processing evolved because of the capabilities of new and optimized power semiconductor devices [1], such as gate turn-off thyristors or metaloxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). The demand for device portability and efficiency needs smart power semiconductor integrated devices. To economically design and build systems with digital, analog, and radiofrequency circuits [2], their power supply and their power management circuits should be integrated in the same system chip—system on chip (SoC). Efficient SoC power converters are needed, requiring a deep

knowledge of power semiconductor behavior and power switches fabrication processes using the silicon wafer process technology. Switching power converters, while taking advantage of newer power semiconductor devices, also advance to circumvent their voltage, current, and switching limits [3]. The power semiconductor industry continuously fuels this advancement by proposing new materials, devices, and stretching the existing practical limits. Liang and Samudra, from the National University of Singapore, have published articles about power microelectronics and smart power semiconductors in leading IEEE journals and conferences. They wrote Power Microelectronics: Device and Process Technologies. This textbook analytically explains the state-of-the-art devices and future device generation, discussing: n theories and process technologies needed to understand and design modern integrated power semiconductor devices n modern semiconductor materials [such as silicon carbide (SiC), silicon germanium (SiGe), gallium arsenide (GaAs), gallium and aluminum nitride (GaN), and AlN] n fundamentals of semiconductors, carrier physics, recombination and lifetime control, avalanche and punchthrough, p-n junction devices operation, junction electrostatics, and termination n detailed structure and performance of p-i-n and Schottky diodes, GaAS and SiC diodes, merged p-i-n Schottky diodes, and smart power synchronous diodes (rectifiers) n unipolar MOSFET, VMOS, DMOS, UMOS, MOSFET dv/dt limits, and silicon on insulator (SoI) n bipolar IGBT, dual gate IGBT for soft switching, integrated current sensors, integrated smart power over-current protection, fabrication steps, and issues n IGBT-derived structures: emitter switched thyristor, base resistance

The book contains comprehensive material for (power) electronics students and for power semiconductor device designers/engineers. It includes the following chapters: 1) Introduction 2) Carrier Physics and Junction Electrostatics 3) Bipolar Junction Diode 4) Power Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor 5) Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor 6) Superjunction Structures 7) Fabrication and Modeling of Power Devices 8) Practical Case Studies in Power Devices. An index and references (given in each chapter) are also included. Power Microelectronics is a valuable textbook for power electronics final year undergraduate or graduate students and for designers and researchers/engineers working on power semiconductor devices and SoC.
