Keywords:

A large amount of literature about microelectronics and VLSI IC design and fabrication has been proposed in the past decades. To save time, a detailed list of reference books has been collected in this page. Many on-line version (either full-text or partial) of these books can be found by using Google Books.

Available books are marked as [x]. A list of books recommended by members of the Designer's Guide community can be found here.
Very OLD books (1930-1970!) about electronics can be found here.
