Semiconductor Physics and Devices brings together the fundamental physics, semiconductor material physics, and semiconductor device physics required to understand semiconductor device characteristics, operation, and limitations. It covers the three basic types of transistors (bipolar, JFET, and MOSFET) and includes discussions about processing techniques such as diffusion and ion implantation. The book features important learning tools such as chapter preview sections, chapter summary and review sections, extensive examples, chapter glossaries, many problems, chapter reading lists, and an appendix with answers to selected problems.
