Overview

Introduction to Semiconductor Device Physics is a popular and established text that offers a thorough introduction to the underlying physics of semiconductor devices. It begins with a review of basic solid state physics, then goes on to describe the properties of semiconductors including energy bands, the concept of effective mass, carrier concentration, and conduction in more detail. Thereafter the book is concerned with the principles of operation of specific devices, beginning with the Gunn Diode and the p-n junction. The remaining chapters cover the on specific devices, including the LED, the bipolar transistor, the field-effect transistor, and the semiconductor laser. The book concludes with a chapter providing a brief introduction to quantum theory. Not overtly mathematical, Introduction to Semiconductor Device Physics introduces only those physical concepts required for an understanding of the semiconductor devices being considered. The author's intuitive style, coupled with an extensive set of worked problems, make this the ideal introductory text for those concerned with understanding electrical and electronic engineering, applied physics, and related subjects.

Reviews

...The material covers a range of device applications ... The book is written in a narrative style, making the text at once accessible and easy to read ... the text retains sufficient rigor in the derivations ... the book is rather pleasing to read and is significantly more accessible that the weighty tomes that constitute the orthodoxy in semiconductor device physics ... worked examples ... form a useful set of mathematical and numerical illustrations throughout the book. ... -Physical Sciences Educational Reviews, Vol. 7, Issue 1, June 2006 Greg Parker's book is eminently readable...the quantum mechanics is introduced in easily digestible chunks and backed with well written explanations and lots of examples... -Dr. K. Kirby, School of Electronics and Physical Sciences, University of Surrey, UK
