Semiconductor Physics: An Introduction (Advanced Texts in Physics)

This book will be useful to solid-state scientists, device engineers, and students involved in semiconductor design and technology. It provides a lucid account of band structure, density of states, charge transport, energy transport, and optical processes, along with a detailed description of many devices. It includes sections on superlattices and quantum well structures, the effects of deep-level impurities on transport, and the quantum Hall effect. This 8th edition has been revised and updated, including several new sections.
