Advanced Semiconductor Fundamentals

Description

This book presents the underlying functional formalism routinely used in describing the operational behavior of solid state devices.

Advanced Semiconductor Fundamentals, Second Edition, by Robert F. Pierret is an advanced level presentation of the underlying functional formalism routinely used in describing the operational behavior of solid state devices.

The second edition provides an update of the topic presentation, semiconductor parametric information, and relevant references throughout the volume. There is also a 50% increase in the end-of-chapter problems. Given the success of the first edition, the second edition retains the same overall material coverage and a pedagogical approach in introducing necessary concepts, models, and formalism.

• 50% increase in end-of-chapter problems—Expands usefulness as a stand-alone self-study text.

  • Permits instructors greater flexibility in making course homework assignments and provides students with additional reinforcement of concepts.

• Updated information—Including semiconductor parameters, other information, and references as required.

• NEW – 50% increase in end-of-chapter problems—Expands usefulness as a stand-alone self-study text.

  • Permits instructors greater flexibility in making course homework assignments and provides students with additional reinforcement of concepts.

• NEW – Updated information—Including semiconductor parameters, other information, and references as required.

• Pedagogical approach to introducing necessary concepts, models, and formalism.

• Effectively builds upon the basic concepts learned in a first course on semiconductors.

• Extensive highly-accurate parametric information.
