Survey of Semiconductor Physics Volume ii Barriers Junctions Surfaces And Devices

This book presents a detailed description of the basic semiconductor physics. The reader is assumed to have a basic command of mathematics and some elementary knowledge of solid state physics.

This book has been designed primarily as a text book for a three-semester, three· hour per week senior or graduate course in semiconductor physics for students In electrical engineering and physics, It may be supplemented by a solid state phy .. ics course. Prerequisites are courses in electrodynamics and - for some of the chapters - basic quantum mechanics. Emphasis has been laid on physical rather than technological aspects. Semiconductor physics is in fact an excellent and d … · manding training ground for a future physicist or electrical engineer givina him an opportunity to practice a large variety of physical laws he was introduced to in the more fundamental courses.
