Semiconductor Physics And Devices: Basic Principles

I'm currently using this book for a class in solid state electronics and I feel this covers the topics very well. There are lots of examples throughout the book with problems given right after them, which are similar to the examples. I really liked this because I felt that it gives readers an opportunity to practice and understand the material better as they read through it. So far we have found one mistake in one of the problems, but its just a typo and its easy to figure out what's meant. I've heard that the previous editions had several mistakes that have been corrected in this one, the 4th edition, so if you can afford it, you might want to consider getting this one. I haven't read the whole book, and don't intent to, but from what I've read so far, I've felt that everything was clear and flowed well. There are derivations given for most of the formulas used in the book. I usually skip over them, but if you'd like to study them, they're there.

Necesitaba este libro para un curso intensivo. Llegó relativamente rápido y en excelentes condiciones. Me hubiera gustado que un libro de mayor tamaño, pero el contenido está muy bueno. Recomendado totalmente.

This book was part of my university studies and it was an absolutely wonderful book to learn from. It also makes a great resource tool for those who need the fundamental knowledge of quantum mechanics and energy diagrams for semiconductor devices. The book is well written and consists of many supporting diagrams which help aid in the understanding of the descriptions. You learn about basic quantum mechanics, simple material science and device physics (which includes band diagrams of different materials from homogeneous to heterojunctions). I definitely recommend this book to people who seek interest in this area!

As mentioned in the subtitle, it covers the basic principles of the semiconductor physics and devices in a clear and direct fashion. It is easy to read and follow.

Needed textbook.
