SEMICONDUCTOR PHYSICS AND DEVICES,Semiconductor Physics and Devices provides an introduction to the physics of semiconductor materials and devices. Beginning with the basic physics, the first part of the book gives a comprehensive coverage of semiconductor fundamentals and discusses the recent developments in the field. The second part covers in detail the characteristics, operation, and limitations of solid-state electronic devices such as junction diodes, BJTs, and state-of-the-art FETs such as MESFETs, HEMTs, and MOSFETs. The book ends with a discussion on optoelectronic, microwave, and power electronic devices. Written in a lucid style, this student-friendly book is intended for undergraduate students of engineering. It would also suit the requirements of undergraduate and postgraduate students of science and electronics. With the inclusion of some new topics covering recent advances in the field, the book would be a useful reference for practising engineers and scientists.
