Semiconductor Devices

This text motivates students by striking a balance in orientation between a strong physics and a strong applications approach. The author also has a unique chapter on fabrication absent in other major books, and puts less of an emphasis on lasers and microwaves.The book de-emphasizes so me difficult concepts in Quantum Mechanics as well as the complex mathematics that is used in applying these concepts. Readers are introduced to the steps in the fabrication of devices to make the operation and construction of each device more real. Ch. 1. Atomic Structure and Quantum Mechanics Ch. 2.
