Reviews

From the reviews: This textbook on semiconductors for students at advanced undergraduate or graduate level covers the basis of electronic band structures, engineering of alloys, and the effect of defects. Concentrating on semiconductors materials science rather than devices, Rockett also includes discussion of organic electronic materials, amorphous semiconductors, and methods for growth and deposition. Each chapter includes recommended reading suggestions and problems for study. (Materials Today, Vol. 11 (5), May, 2008) The 12 summarized chapters of The Materials Science of Semiconductors by Rockett ! provide excellent coverage for practicing engineers or students interrelating the underlying materials considerations with semiconductor devices. Each chapter contains diagrams, problems, substantial references, and additional readings; the book also includes an appendix and a dozen tables. ! Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional collections. (S. M. Pilgrim, Choice, Vol. 46 (2), October, 2008)
