This popular text offers a thorough introduction to the underlying physics of semiconductor devices. It begins with a review of basic solid state physics, then describes the properties of semiconductors in more detail and examines the operation principles of the Gunn Diode and p-n junction. The remaining chapters focus 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. The treatment is not overly mathematical and emphasizes only the required physical concepts. Each chapter contains a set of worked problems.

Industry 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
