How the CIA define problems & plan solutions: The Phoenix Checklist
1st June 10
Posted in awesomeness, process
In a recent BBH Labs post (Wind Tunnel Marketing, The Sequel: On the Need for Divergent Insight) that talked about the need for divergent thinking and stimulus in approaching problem solving (& creative ideation), Chaz Wigley, the Chairman of BBH in Asia Pacific, mentioned how the CIA's (I've always wanted to link to the CIA) Problem Definition Checklist provoked precisely this kind of approach; rounded, many-faceted, flexible.
These questions are known as "context-free questions" and are designed "to encourage agents to look at a challenge from many different angles. Using Phoenix grup sex is like holding your challenge in your hand. You can turn it, look at it from underneath, see it from one view, hold it up to another position, imagine solutions, and really be in control of it" (see the excellent, if chewy, paper on Exploring Exploratory Testing, for more here).
We now have from Chaz not only the list of questions the CIA use to define problems, but also (thanks to Iqbal Mohammed) the follow-up list they use to develop the plan. Which seems kind of important too.
My personal favourite question in the problem definition list is the somewhat open-ended: 'what isn't the problem?'.
Why is it necessary to solve the problem?
What benefits will you receive by solving the problem?
What is the unknown?
What is it you don't yet understand?
What is the information you have?
What isn't the problem?
Is the information sufficient? Or is it insufficient? Or redundant? Or contradictory?
Should you draw a diagram of the problem? A figure?
Where are the boundaries of the problem?
Can you separate the various parts of the problem? Can you write them down? What are the relationships of the parts of the problem? What are the constants of the problem?
Have you seen this problem before?
Have you seen this problem in a slightly different form? Do you know a related problem?
Try to think of a familiar problem having the same or a similar unknown
Suppose you find a problem related to yours that has already been solved. Can you use it? Can you use its method?
Can you restate your problem? How many different ways can you restate it? More general? More specific? Can the rules be changed?
What are the best, worst and most probable cases you can imagine?THE PLAN
Can you solve the whole problem? Part of the problem?
What would you like the resolution to be? Can you picture it?
How much of the unknown can you determine?
Can you derive something useful from the information you have?
Have you used all the information?
Have you taken into account all essential notions in the problem?
Can you separate the steps in the problem-solving process? Can you determine the correctness of each step?
What creative thinking techniques can you use to generate ideas? How many different techniques?
Can you see the result? How many different kinds of results can you see?
How many different ways have you tried to solve the problem?
What have others done?
Can you intuit the solution? Can you check the result?
What should be done? How should it be done?
Where should it be done?
When should it be done?
Who should do it?
What do you need to do at this time?
Who will be responsible for what?
Can you use this problem to solve some other problem?
What is the unique set of qualities that makes this problem what it is and none other?
What milestones can best mark your progress?
How will you know when you are successful? -
Violently elemental. Yet beautiful. Time-lapse of Eyjafjallajökull erupting, May 2010
14th May 10
Posted in awesomeness, music, online video
During the eruption of the volcano that no one can pronounce (or barely even spell) Sean Stiegemeier took his Canon 5D Mark II out and produced this rather ace short film, set to music sung by Jónsi (lead singer of Icelandic band Sigur Rós).
We like the ethereal music mashed up with something that is, essentially, destructive. Violently elemental. Yet beautiful.
For best effect set to HD and then go full-screen. Turn it up.
Iceland, Eyjafjallajökull – May 1st and 2nd, 2010 from Sean Stiegemeier on Vimeo.
He notes on his Vimeo page (full of other very cool projects – check it out):
"So I saw all of these mediocre pictures of that volcano in Iceland nobody can pronounce the name of, so I figured I should go and do better. But the flights to get over took forever as expected (somewhat). 4 days after leaving I finally made it, but the weather was terrible for another 4. Just before leaving it got pretty good for about a day and a half and this is what I managed to get.
Wish I had more time. I missed all the cool Lightning and the Lava of the first eruption. But I figure this will just be a trial run for another day.
I am of course accepting sponsors to send me back there for more please…!! haha

The Cool Hunting Cadillac iPad app in action
22nd April 10
Posted in awesomeness, design, technology
We recently announced our first iPad application, the Cool Hunting app initially presented by our client, Cadillac, and developed in partnership between Cool Hunting, BBH New York and Front Ended. If you missed our original post explaining the design challenges, take a look here.
For those who've not got their hands on an iPad yet, here's a short film giving a taste of what it feels like to use. One thing we've noticed in using the iPad so far is that there's quite a gulf in user experience between apps developed specifically for the iPad versus those developed for the iPhone.
This Coolhunting app is definitely in the latter category, and whilst we learned a huge amount about how we'd do things next time, we're pleased with our first experiment on this newest of platforms.
Download the Cool Hunting app (here) and see what you think.

Posted in awesomeness, creativity
Posted by Dean Woodhouse, Creative, BBH London
Our MySpace Fan Video campaign (which Fran shared here a few months back) has been nominated for a People's Choice Award at this year's Webbys, which we're just a little excited about. And yes, this is an unashamed plug and request for your support.
The category is Best use of Online Media, this is the Myspace entry. All you need to do is sign-up (it takes 20 seconds) and then you get an email that lets you vote.
Whilst we're here, it would be wrong not to mention our friends at BBH Shanghai's awesome WWF Fate's in your Hands in Experimental & Innovation, BBH NY's Google Chrome in Online Commercials, BBH NY's Axe Balls in Viral Marketing and Hal & Masa's (BBH NY) promo video for Sour's 'Hibi No Neiro' in Best Editing.
We're up against good work from some great agencies like W+K, TBWA, AKQA and Glue, so a win would feel even better.
Deadline for voting is 29th April, so not long to go.
THANKS very much for your support.
Introducing the Cool Hunting iPad app, with Cadillac
1st April 10
Posted in awesomeness, design, technology
Author: John Sheldon, Director of Brand Dialogue, BBH New York
(This is an updated version of a post from 04.01.10)
There is nothing like working on a completely new platform to get everyone energized and excited.
Everyone here at BBH has been super excited about the opportunities that Apple's new iPad will open up. We have just announced our first iPad application, the Cool Hunting app initially presented by our client, Cadillac, and developed in partnership between Cool Hunting, BBH and Front Ended.
Here it is. Well, a very static image of what it will look like.
Working with Josh and the team at Cool Hunting was really important in this project. We took their vast library of the latest in design, technology and culture and aligned – and spliced – it with a number of stories and facets about the vehicles.
It was a really interesting challenge from a design perspective. The "creative ambition" was to create a groundbreaking experience for consuming content on the iPad – one that becomes multidimensional with articles, photos, and videos in ways that were never possible before on the web or in the mobile space. We also wanted to propose a new advertising model for publications for the device – one that avoids slapping display advertising on everything and instead envelops the most appropriate and desired content for people. So we're putting the brand in right place in providing great content to people rather than distracting them from it.
For the initial client/sponsor, Cadillac, this approach would allow the Cool Hunting team to curate and deliver specific content in new, more relevant, and more innovative ways. The muse for the curation is the very sexy new CTS Coupe and CTS-V Coupe vehicles that Cadillac is slated to release in mid-summer. Building excitement around these vehicles and garnering handraisers for additional information are key goals for the brand.
The design process took six weeks (late nights and every weekend included). Our team ranks this among the most challenging design they had ever taken on. The interesting aspect is that you have to design everything twice – both for the landscape and the vertical layout. And that doesn't mean the layout changes visually, because we actually changed the experience based on how you were holding the device.
The goal was to incite users to interact with the design as opposed to just looking at it. For example, the default article view allows users to choose how they would most like to consume the content. So we enable more choices based on how people want to view or read the articles. This makes the interaction and visual design process incredibly more complex, but opens up a multitude of new opportunities.
The other part of the design and development challenge was putting together this app for a touch-based interaction in a platform that uses keyboard and mouse as the primary interfacing tools.
Working with the great guys at Front-ended to get it developed and App store approval-ready in short order was only possible through embracing a genuinely kizlik bozma iterative and collaborative approach across all partners and client. Iterating between app designers, brand teams and developers daily made sure the final App met the needs of the sponsor, the technological benchmarks and the editorial approach of Cool Hunting.
Many of us are awaiting delivery of our iPads this weekend (our Director of Creative Technology, Richard Schatzberger, spent two hours on iPad release day refreshing his browser literally every second). And we can't wait to see how other brands are going to find creative ways to take advantage of this new platform.
We know we have a whole bunch to learn about what's possible, but weíre pleased our learning curve has been steep in the last few months. We like it that way.
In readiness for your iPad deliveries this Saturday, download the Cool Hunting app (here) and give it a look. We'd be interested to know what you think.
The Joy of SXSW
26th March 10
Posted in awesomeness, interactive
This post is adapted from an article written for Campaign magazine (25.03.10), available online at campaignlive.co.uk next week.
South by Southwest, or SXSW as it likes to be referred to, has celebrated emerging film and music for over two decades, but 2010 was the year the Interactive component of the conference shifted up a gear and gained critical mass. Last week around 15,000 people descended on the city of Austin in Texas for 5 days of neck-deep immersion in progressive digital culture.
Despite its mind-blowing scale, a few key themes emerged for us from SXSWi's smorgasbord of panels and presentations. Read full post
A Day in the Life of New York City, in miniature
27th February 10
Posted in awesomeness, online video
The Sandpit from Sam O'Hare on Vimeo.
This is a stunning piece of film, shot by Sam O'Hare in NYC, in miniature and using a shallow depth of field. Worth noting right at the outset that the tilt-shift effect was faked in post (but the overall effect is far from lessened because of this).
For best results hit HD and watch in full screen. And turn it up.
There's a really great interview with O'Hare here, on the Aero Film site. Here's a sample, in which O'Hare talks about the equipment he used in putting this together. It involved over 35,000 stills.
The music is perfectly matched. It was specially written by Rosi Golan and Alex Wong, and composed by Human.
If you watch carefully there are some priceless moments, usually involving tiny characters doing things that look other-worldly when viewed in this way (I particularly like the scene in which someone sneaks out on their roof – this is shot in the height of the hottest part of the summer of 09 – to have a quick cigarette). One am pornosu of the slightly odder things about the film is that despite seeing hundreds of people across the five minute piece, we don't see a single face. This adds to the surreal, almost fake quality of the film.
Thanks to @finnbarrw for the heads-up.
Kraftwerk, just jamming, in a spellbinding film from 1973
15th December 09
Posted in awesomeness, music
We're hopelessly devoted fans of Kraftwerk here at BBH Labs, almost certainly in a way that is slightly backward. Only last week we pledged to listen to nothing but Kraftwerk until the end of 2010 (much to the delight of those sitting near us).
This (below) is an incredible piece of film. It's from 1973 and shows Ralf & Florian just noodling, in some cases with non-electronic instruments (shock, horror) such as flute. The homemade drum machine looks fairly lo-fi; quite a lot of tinfoil being used there too.

We also stumbled across a couple of other short films in the YouTube crates. First an amusing documentary clip about 'Autobahn' from 1975. "Next year Kraftwerk hope to eliminate the keyboards altogether and build jackets with electronic lapels that would be played by touch".
And then this 10-minute clip from a 1973 French documentary.
Brilliantly evocative films from the birth of electronic music.
Thanks to Paul Matheson for sending the Tanzmusik piece.

Fairly simple one here - if you install AX2009/AX4 AOS on an AX2012 AOS machine the AOS performance counters get overwritten as they have the same name in all versions. For AX4/AX2009 this didn't really matter as there wasn't much difference in counters between the versions, but in AX2012 there are additional counters so you really want to the AX2012 version to be the one in effect.
If this happens you can just re-register the AX2012 counters like this:
1. Stop any performance monitor collection logs that are using the Dynamics AX perf counters.
2. Disable the existing counters. Run the following from an elevated cmd promptlodctr /D:"Dynamics Server"
3. Unload the existing counters: unlodctr "Dynamics Server"
4. Register the new path to the AX 2012 AXPERF.DLL in registry
(i) Browse to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Dynamics Server\Performance]
(ii) Edit the reg key called "Library" and replace with following path "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Server\Common\AxPerf.dll"
5. Load the counter registration information from AX 2012 bin folder of AX Instance, e.g below we use the file from an instance called MicrosoftDynamicsAXlodctr "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Server\MicrosoftDynamicsAX\bin\AX32SERV.INI"
6. You DON'T need to stop any AOS services. You can restart the perfmon logging that was setup previously to use the AX 2102 counters. Or if you had an interactive performance monitor window, in order to reload the new counters you need to start a new performance monitor window
We're going to look at changing the name of the AOS performance counters for the next version so they won't get overwritten.

It's always been quality above quantity for fashion designers Jessica Moss and Lisa Guajaro, who launched Leyendecker in 2006 with a simple but masterfully constructed six-piece apparel collection for women. Though refreshingly minimalist, Leyendecker's dresses, faux fur wraps and other clothing creations lend shape, contour and length to the female form. Ever daring, Leyendecker punctuates its stark black and white palettes with colorful tribal patterns or Mesoamerican motifs. The label is most recognized for its leggings — sexy peekaboo numbers that play nicely off the brand's slashed T-shirts and backless blazers. Based in Los Angeles, Leyendecker counts Kourtney Kardashian (spotted wearing the label's Miner poncho) among its famous fans.

So... I just turned 50, finally.
Thank you all for your birthday wishes. I'm not really into birthdays to be honest, you loose interest somewhere in your 30's. I'm one of the few people who likes aging, I enjoy the process of slowing down over the decades. I feel more balanced and content than I ever did as a youth. I'm looking forward to experiencing the fifties.
Meanwhile I have had my head down preparing reprints for two of my old comic stories.
The original Zooniverse series being one of them, Rex Vectar being the other (Rex was only published in Australia). I have also been working on a new Zooniverse series with all new art.
Teaching is not something I want to do, I'd much rather get on with my own projects. The the 5 day class was an experiment to see how teaching could be done over the internet should I decide to pursue it. Thank you to those who participated.
The 5 Day Class offer is now closed
I'd better get back to it, thank you for your support and comments. I'm glad DA has given me the chance to show a fraction of my hard work and connect me to the shows that I designed for. Plus it's been helpful for me to bitch about my experiences in Hollywood. Thank you for letting me get it off my chest.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Holy horsing around!
Kids are ponying up for fake horse heads as phenomena goes 'manestream'
I was staring blankly into the home computer the other day when, suddenly and without warning, someone knocked on the door.
It was a husky delivery guy in a brown uniform toting a medium-sized cardboard box.
My daughter flung open the door and signed for the parcel, which she ripped open with obvious delight.
"It's here!" she squealed. "It's here!"
Before I could say a word, she reached into the box and, like a magician pulling a rabbit from a hat, plucked out her prize -- a large rubber horse head mask.
As a crusading journalist, I was curious. "What is that?" I asked in my best reporter's voice.
"It's a horse head mask," my daughter replied.
I tried to furrow my brow. "I can see that," I observed. "I'm just wondering why you had one delivered."
My daughter rolled her eyeballs to indicate how disappointed she was to have such a dim bulb for a dad. "It's an anniversary present for my boyfriend," she explained.
You will be surprised to hear this, but I decided to probe deeper. "Why did you get him a rubber horse head mask?" I asked in a non-judgmental fatherly tone.
"Because it's a thing," she replied.
"A thing?" I asked.
This was greeted by more eyeball rolling to underscore how out of touch I am with popular culture. "Yes," she sniffed. "It's a thing! Look it up on the Internet!"
And so, what with being an investigative journalist, that's what I did. And, as it turns out, my daughter is right: For thousands of hip young people around the world, wearing rubber horse head masks is a major thing.
If you type "horse head mask" into your Google search engine, you will get, in less than a second, about 7,190,000 results, which, for all you modern parents, is probably not a good sign.
According to dozens of stories and websites I perused, for the last couple of years, stuffing your face into a horse head mask has been what we used to call a fad -- like swallowing goldfish or cutting your hair like Justin Bieber -- but is now known as an Internet "meme," defined as "something incredibly stupid somebody does and then everyone else in the (bad word) world copies it and posts random photos of themselves on social media sites, even though it makes them look like complete idiots."
A good example would be the meme known as "planking," wherein people share photos of themselves pretending to be a plank of wood via the technique of lying down in a bizarre location with their arms rigidly at their sides.
Other Internet photo crazes include "owling," in which the person in the picture perches on a random object and stares off into the distance; "teapotting," wherein the subject bends their arms to resemble, as in the children's song, a little teapot short and stout; and "milking," where you are photographed pouring a carton of milk over your head in a public place.
If you want to be extremely hip, however, you need to share photos of yourself wearing a latex horse head mask with a faux fur mane, with the classic version made by Seattle-based novelty dealer Archie McPhee & Co. and sold for $24.95. To up your cool quotient, you can plunk down $62 for the "horse mask and smoking jacket combo."
Recently, Google Street View famously captured a photo of a kid in Aberdeen, Scotland, who apparently spotted their camera car coming while walking to the local pub and decided (why not?) to slip into his latex horse mask.
Equally famous online is the shirtless jogger who, wearing only a bathing suit and a horse head mask, pumped his fists and galloped past an NBC news crew as they broadcast live coverage of hurricane Sandy.
In a late-breaking development, some young people are now branching out and posting photos of themselves wearing the heads of monkeys, squirrels, pigs, elephants, ducks, unicorns and -- as shown by a gaggle of young people posing for Google Street View in Japan, where the horse thing reportedly began -- pigeons.
But the horse still leads the pack, as we discovered while visiting friends during a recent holiday on the West Coast and telling them about my daughter's odd gift to her boyfriend.
Which is when my buddy Jim shouted to his 21-year-old son: "Dylan, show Uncle Doug your horse head mask!"
Moments later, their son proudly trotted out in his own latex horse head, so I took his picture with my iPhone and sent it to my daughter.
Seconds later, my phone bleeped. "You see," my daughter sniffed coldly in her texted reply. "I told you it was a thing!"

Arizona Cardinals
Jonathan Cooper passes 'litmus test' in day one of Arizona Cardinals training camp
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Jonathan Cooper says he's ready to go.
The Arizona Cardinals' left guard has not played in a game since breaking his leg in the team's third preseason game last August. After finally getting a chance to step back on the field at University of Phoenix Stadium and practice with his team, he declared himself ready to go.
"It was awesome," he said after day one of training camp. "I felt a little better than I did at OTAs, a little bit more comfortable. I think it just helped to be able to read and react, not be thinking so much. Just go out there and play, it felt pretty good.
"It will definitely be a different story once pads get on, then it will be the true test. But for now, I'm pleased."
For sure, Cooper will not really be able to know how ready he is until he is asked to hit somebody and, in essence, do the very thing that led to his injury in the first place. He's had plenty of time to get ready for and think about this moment, having spent all of last season on Injured Reserve unable to contribute.
But now he's back and expected to solidify a revamped offense line. The seventh pick in the 2013 draft out of North Carolina, the only questions surrounding Cooper are related to his health, not his ability.
Cooper added that Saturday was his "litmus test" as far as telling how far he's come in his recovery, and since he felt great then, he's excited to continue forward with his progression, with the next step being putting the pads on and dealing with contact.
Only then will he know he's truly back.
That will happen Monday. Until then, just as it was Saturday, Cooper and the team will go through practice without pads on but in front of fans. It's the first time that's happened for him since the injury.
"It's exciting, just trying to play for the guys beside me and having fans there, that definitely boosts the morale of the practice," he said. "It felt great to get out there."

The B-version of Toyotas 2006 car made its first track appearance at Paul Ricard, France on Wednesday. Jarno Trulli completed just over 200km in the updated machine, which is expected to make its race debut in Monaco next month.
"This is the first day with the B-car and although we had some small issues which caused delays, these were not directly related to the new car, reported Dieter Gass, Toyotas chief race and test team engineer. Overall it is good to have the car testing on the track.
The team back in Cologne pushed hard to prepare everything in time. This new package is a consequent realization of the change we had with the front suspension. With this being the major new item, this allows up to fully exploit the aerodynamic and mechanical side of the front suspension. Yet it is still too early to say anything about the performance, because we did not do enough running with it today.
Trulli clocked a best time around four tenths slower than team mate Ricardo Zonta, who was tyre testing in the current TF106, and the Italian declared himself happy with progress.
The day was very promising, especially with the new car and in general, the testing we got through was good, he said. Tomorrow I hope to put in even more laps to gain a feeling for the new package and to be able to make a better judgement."
Toyota were joined at Paul Ricard by Ferrari, both teams using the circuits 3.254km 3E-SC layout. Luca Badoer was at the wheel of the Italian squads 248 F1 machine, his programme focussed on Bridgestone tyre development.
Testing continues at Paul Ricard until Friday.
Unofficial Wednesday times from Paul Ricard:
1. Ricardo Zonta, Toyota (Bridgestone), 58.262s
2. Jarno Trulli, Toyota (Bridgestone), 58.630s
3. Luca Badoer, Ferrari (Bridgestone), 58.676s

Determinants of R&D Outsourcing at Japanese Firms: Transaction Cost and Strategic Management Perspectives
Free registration required
Executive Summary
This paper examines the factors, which determine R&D outsourcing behaviour at Japanese firms, from the viewpoints of transaction cost and strategic management, since the latter half of the 1990s. This study uses empirical analysis, which involves the application of large-sample data. The principal findings of this paper are listed below. Firms that belong to a wider corporate group are more active in executing R&D outsourcing activities. Diversification strategies such as the expansion of product and sales markets have a positive effect on the R&D outsourcing behaviour of firms. Moreover, while quantitative R&D resources have positive influences on R&D outsourcing, qualitative indices have no effect.

Asheville-based mountain and bluegrass group Sons of Ralph will perform a fundraising concert for the Canton Lions Club from 6 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 28, at the historic Colonial Theatre in downtown Canton.
The Sons of Ralph play a wide variety of music, including many original songs. Their unique sound, which has been described as "Americana," incorporates traditional mountain music, bluegrass, country and Western, folk, and classic rock. As a testament to the band's popularity, readers of The Mountain Xpress have voted The Sons of Ralph "Best Local Band" for eight of the last 10 years, including 2007 and 2008.
All proceeds from the concert go to the Canton Lions Club, an active service organization dedicated to serving the people and community of Canton. As part of its continuing mission to serve, the Canton Lions Club provides college scholarships for deserving high school students, supports community organizations and donates thousands of dollars to local schools and charities. The club also sponsors Canton's annual Labor Day rides.
$10. Tickets can be picked up (with cash or check made out to the Canton Lions Club) in Canton at Clay Dangerfield's State Farm Insurance Office at 80 Crossroad Hill next to Ingles or at American Cleaners at 10 Penland St. in downtown. Advanced tickets can be mailed if ordered before Aug. 21.
For more information and to purchase tickets, contact Canton Lions Club President Patrick Willis at 828.279.6195.

"You have to force yourself to spend some time away from the hustle and bustle of your job in order to get down to reality again. If you don't spend enough time doing that, you can lose hold of the reins and get into all kinds of trouble." This is from an interview with Richard Abdoo CEO of a $2-billion-a-year utility company Wisconsin Energy. He dedicates 8-hours a week for solitary reflection - tapping into the subtleties of emotions and how they affect his thoughts, and decision making - the essence of Emotional Awareness. What happens if you're not Emotionally Aware?
"If you don't know where you're going any road will get you there" What you don't want to get yourself into is a state of 'emotional static'. I've been in these situations before where I've felt intimidated to speak up for my deep values at work, feeling almost as if it was impermissible. Now knowing that it was a two way decision - poor management from the business, and a lack of my own Emotional Awareness. If you follow your inner sense of what is worthwhile, you'll minimize 'emotional static' - this is where we take the step forward understanding our values, taking charge to lead energized motivated lives. We now know the reality - superior performers in work and life think about what they will do that will be exciting and invigorating to be a part of, which person would be stimulating to be with, and which personal idea would be great to work on. This helps in not only making what you do 'feel right' but also maximizes your energy, vitality and attention to whatever it is that you are doing... because what you're doing gives you a sense of accomplishment and like you're making a contribution for your colleagues, friends, and family. Up for the challenge? Take 1 hour this week to take a solitary walk through the forest, a silent drive through the countryside, or just sit in reflection about what's happening in your everyday - make light of how you feel about the decisions that are being made around you, to better make them for yourself. |

Semiconductor Devices: Physics and Technology, Third Edition is an introduction to the physical principles of modern semiconductor devices and their advanced fabrication technology. It begins with a brief historical review of major devices and key technologies and is then divided into three sections: semiconductor material properties, physics of semiconductor devices and processing technology to fabricate these semiconductor devices.
The book I use every day
A Customer on May 12, 2000
Explains the basic concepts in device physics well. Covers generic process steps used to make most semiconductors. Probably a bit outdated, though physics hasn't changed much since 1985. This book is referred to as "eazy Sze" around my office, which is a refrence to "hard Sze"--The physics of semiconductor devices, 1981. "Hard Sze" is the ultimate refrence for device physics.
Falling a bit short in both physics and technology
By Visitor_of_universe on Jul 26, 2008
I started using this book for my undergraduate course in semiconductor technology, and I believe I would have failed the exam if I relied solely on it. Let me explain: the exposition is really exciting and consistent, but if you were interested in the physics side of the phenomena in semiconductors and semiconductor devices, you'd be left wanting for more. "Just when it was getting interesting", you are left with a few paragraphs that just aren't there. If you are the least scientifically curious, this will most likely frustrate you (it is also a credit to Sze as a scientific author, as he made you actually want to know more, through his systematic exposition). I found that even the very old cornerstone book "Electrons and Holes in Semiconductors" by Shockley, gives more satisfaction to the reader, as Shockley has a much broader, freer and thorough approach at discussing the physics of semiconductors. From the technological point of view, the book in question doesn't seem very useful. It works on some fundamentals but, again, it will only get your lips wet but thirsty. Still, I think Sze tried to cover the bases in a field that is in explosive development such as semiconductor technology. From both points of view - physics and technology - the book feels a lot like a teaser for Sze's masterpiece, "Physics of Semiconductor Devices" (2nd edition), which is a book I would wholeheartedly recommend without reservations. And herein lies the reason why I gave this ("Semiconductor Devices") book only three stars: if I give 5 stars to "Physics of Semiconductor Devices" by the same author, then the object of this review deserves 3. Seeing as though the price of both books is almost the same, this should at least make you think for a moment.
More than enough detail
By Hunter on Dec 18, 2013
This class at least in my opinion is one of the more difficult classes and the book goes into more than enough explanation and detail for my class that I felt I understood the subject and it showed because I got an A in the class.
A great book!
By Engineer on Jul 18, 2013
Makes an otherwise complex subject seem simple by the way it is presented.I found it to be an exceptionally well written text, and would encourage anyone who is interested in the subject to buy it. A great book!
not very helpful
By Aajn on May 22, 2013
I bought this book to prepare for my graduate school quals - we're supposed to know something about semiconductor technology. This book is not great - the author doesn't always derive even basic formulas, and the organization leaves something to be desired. If you are looking for an intro to semiconductors, I'd recommend Robert Pierret's book - it's much better.
'Watered" down Semiconductor Devices
By Chemil on Feb 03, 2013
I feel like this book leaves out necessary explanations on solid state physics to appreciate or fully understand semiconductor devices. Knowing that S.M. Sze's other book "Physics of Semiconductor Devices" is used as the "bible" of semiconductors, I would have preferred that our teacher had used that book instead.
A great introductory overview of the principles and practise.
By R. G. W. Brown on Jun 24, 2010
This book, in spite of its age (2001 era) remains a great introductory overview of the principles and practise of semiconductor device engineering. The clarity and thoroughness of each basic topic are un-surpassed in competitor books.

US curbs on Moscow jolt major allies
Ronald Reagan's latest economic sanctions against Moscow, if implemented despite squeals of protest from his allies, will seriously complicate plans for a mammoth gas pipeline from Siberia to Western Europe.
These United States restrictions, announced June 18, also stand to damage a joint Soviet-Japanese bid to develop oil and gas deposits off the eastern Soviet island of Sakhalin.
The West Europeans and Japanese, even under the best of circumstances, might be expected to grate at moves to spoil such projects.
Resentment is particularly strong, however, at a time when the Americans are all but begging for the chance to peddle huge amounts of grain to a Soviet leadership beset by a succession of disappointing domestic harvests.
The expectation among foreign experts here is that President Leonid Brezhnev and other Kremlin leaders will do all they can to encourage allied resentment over the new American sanctions, while its trade officials scurry to come up with substitute components for the affected energy projects.
(Probably, the Soviet propaganda machine will also chime in with assurances that all US sanctions are laughably ineffective, a chorus that will make nice headlines but won't change economic facts of life.)
There is another option open to the Soviets: a counterstrike in the plentiful world grain market. Moscow has long valued the quality and price of US shipments , but it moved to diversify its sources of imported grain in response to a Carter administration embargo. The Soviets could seek to accelerate that process , finding it politically useful to favor other suppliers.
The latest Reagan trade restrictions were a follow-up to those announced at the turn of the year in response to imposition of martial law in Poland. The earlier sanctions nixed the supply of US-made rotors earmarked for the roughly 40 compressor stations along the multibillion-dollar Siberian gas pipeline.
That move, in itself, seemed likely to delay completion of the Soviet-West European piping project by many months, the assumption being that French-based Alstholm-Atlantique would be asked to begin producing such rotors under an existing license.

I would go with those (in no especialy order)
Radiohead (Even if some of theyre song is more electronic but anyway they rocks)
Led Zepplin
1. AC/DC - Come on these guys are just the best at what they do, rock.
2. Metallica - Despite their constant changes and controversy they still put together some decent albums.
3. Rolling Stones - I really dont think any other band has as many great singles as these guys, too bad they havent released a decent single disc Greatest Hits yet.
4. Led Zepplin - Gotta love all those 7 minute long songs w/ Page solo.
5. Guns N Roses - Their Greatest Hits says all that needs to be said about these guys.
Well, there's so many definitions of 'rock' nowadays.. but I will always favor progressive and classic rock... and ROCK N ROLL... such a overused term for all those mainstream sh*t bands and powercords.
MMMMMMmmm =
Jimi Hendrix/ Jimi Hendrix Experience, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Cream, THE DOORS, Led Zepplin, Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Janis Joplin, Black Sabbath, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, Simon & Garfunkel, AC/DC...lots of blues, etc etc
but other favorite rockers are: The Mars Volta, Tool, Steve Vai, Batmobile, The Blood Brothers, The Catheters, The Quakes, Johnny Thunders, The Cramps, The Meteors, Stray Cats, and..wow, ..can't remember a lot.. umm, yesh, good stuff though.

i am the urban monky
look to the mune
[QUOTE=Nightwish]alright. this list is hard for me since i have so many bands, but here it goes.
1. Slipknot - when u got 9 members that can perform a concert of pure insanity, how can u lose? especially when the music is the best in metal now. Before I Forget is such a good god damn song that it's even being played on the hip-hop stations. my sister knows the words for god's sake, and she's a rapper's groupie. one thing that troubles me, i listened to that song when no one knew what song it was. and its popularity just makes me sink.
Allow me to edit that thing you call a message:
"1. Slipknot - They have 9 members in their band, 6 of them do about 2% of the work and the rest of their time is spent running around, trying to look insane to please their maggot fans. Their music is by far the WORST in Metal right now because they don't play 'real' Metal, they play Nu Metal. Nu Metal is a form of ROCK that combines HipHop grooves with shitty stacato riffs. This is why they play Before I Forget on HipHop stations. This is also why your sister knows the words to it. One thing that troubles me: How you can possibley even consider Slipknot to be "the best in metal" when everyone knows that they are the purest form of shit to ever grace the cow cum infested streets of the mainstream.
The Devil is real...I know...I built his cage....and though my love for him is great, I come into his presents, I will shatter his mind, and return this world to peace.[IMG]

Grade for charter schools? 'Needs improvement'
Without safeguards, they could become martyrs in the reform movement, instead of pioneers.
Los Angeles
With the start of the fall semester upon us, President Obama has made charter schools the mainstay of his education reform movement. Although such schools are heavily promoted, concerns need to be addressed before their potential to shape a new course in US education can be fairly evaluated.
Charter schools represent a compromise for taxpayers who are frustrated over the glacial pace of improvement by public schools despite the expenditure of $667 billion on K-12 education last school year, up from $553 billion the prior year.
Publicly financed but operating free of many of the regulations applying to traditional public schools, they have grown in popularity since the first charter school began in Minnesota in 1991. They now total 4,600 nationwide and educate some 1.4 million of the nation's 50 million public school students.
Yet despite the claims made by supporters, a study released in June by the Center for Research on Education Outcomes at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif., casts doubt on whether the academic performance of students in charter schools is any better overall than that of their peers in regular public schools.
