Semiconductor Physics And Devices (McGraw Hill Education Private Limited)

Semiconductor Physics and Devices by Neamen is a book meant for the undergraduate course in semiconductor physics and devices. The book aims to bring together quantum mechanics, the quantum theory of solids, semiconductor material physics and semiconductor device physics which will provide a strong foundation for the budding engineer to understand and participate in advancing the technology in this field.
With its strong pedagogy, superior readability and thorough examination of the physics of semiconductor material, Semiconductor Physics and Devices, Fourth Edition provides a basis for understanding the characteristics, operation and limitations of semiconductor devices. Neamen' s Semiconductor Physics and Devices deals with the electrical properties and characteristics of semiconductor materials and devices. The goal of this book is to bring together quantum mechanics, the quantum theory of solids, semiconductor material physics and semiconductor device physics in a clear and understandable way. Salient Features: 1) Extensive Coverage of Physics and Quantum Theory in chapters 2 and 3 thereby preparing students for a deeper understanding in developing new semiconductor devices. 2) Comprehensive Coverage of Semiconductor Devices is presented from Chapter 7 onward. Each chapter treats a different device family. The organization of this book is flexible to accommodate different preferences and teaching styles. 3) Design Examples and homework problems help students grasp more practical and open-ended problem-solving methods. The examples contain all the details of the analysis or design, so the reader does not have to fill in missing steps. These design-oriented examples are marked with an icon. 4) Enhanced Learning System with the inclusion of "Test Your Understanding Exercises" added after each example, and learning objectives are included before each example as well. A preview section opens each chapter and links the current chapter's goals to those of earlier material.
