Synopsis

Physics of Semiconductor Devices is a comprehensive, up-to-date text providing a lucid perspective of the important concepts and applications of semiconductor devices. The book emphasizes a logical development of the subject and maintains a rigor in the analytical discussions. A description of the quantum mechanical tunnel effect on the principles of quantum measurement and observations is also presented, along with a discussion of its application in the analysis of I-V characteristics of tunnel devices. In this revised edition, the basic outline of the book and its underlying philosophy remain unchanged. The discussions on quantum mechanical tunneling have been updated. Most of the problems in the first edition have been retained and a large number of problems have been added both as solved examples and as unsolved exercises. Contents: Preface to the Second Edition / Preface / Acknowledgements / List of Symbols / SEMICONDUCTOR PHYSICS - Energy bands; Electrons and holes; Mobility and diffusivity; Intrinsic semiconductor; Doped semiconductor; Temperature dependence of the semiconductor conductivity; Carrier lifetime; Recombination of electrons and holes through traps: Shockely-Read-Hall theory; Optical properties of semiconductors; Gunn effect; Low dimensional quantum phenomena / PHYSICS OF pn JUNCTIONS - pn homojunctions; Semiconductor heterojunctions; pn Diode equation; A.
