Solid State Electronic Devices

Rate this book
For undergraduate electrical engineering students or for practicing engineers and scientists, interested in updating their understanding of modern electronics. One of the most widely used introductory books on semiconductor materials, physics, devices and technology, this text aims 1) develop basic semiconductor physics concepts, so students can better understand current and future devices; and 2) provide a sound understanding of current semiconductor devices and technology, so that their applications to electronic and optoelectronic circuits and systems can be appreciated. Students are brought to a level of understanding that will enable them to read much of the current literature on new devices and applications.

Textbook for one of the most fascinating engineering courses I have ever taken... and have never had an opportunity to use. But I'm glad I didn't specialize in semiconductor fabrication b/c I don't want to live on the west coast or in the northeast.

This introductory guide to Solid State Devices was prescribed to me in my Bachelors course. The first few chapters are quite comprehensive and do a good job of introducing the topic. The exercises and problem questions also help in gaining a better understanding of the subject matter. But perhaps it is the nature of the subject itself, the chapters do not stand so well when taken separately. You need to know the previous chapters before starting a new concept.

Although I've read about 20% of it, I think he did a good job explaining things. The figures are great!

Not quite bad. But there could be more logical progression amongst the chapters.
