Solid State Electronic Devices

Solid State Electronic Devices is aimed at undergraduate students of engineering for an introductory course on devices. From fundamental topics such as electron dynamics to current growth areas such as microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS), the book covers in detail crystal growth, energy band structure, excess carriers in semiconductors, p-n junctions, and transistors. The book also provides an introduction to optoelectronic devices, power devices, microwave devices, and integrated circuits. Written in an easy-to-understand and student-friendly manner, the book includes several illustrative examples. Thought-provoking questions are interspersed throughout the text to test the fundamental concepts as well as to help the students develop critical thinking.
