Opis

A comprehensive textbook explaining the physics of electronic materials and describing numerous practical applications of electronic devices.

Recenzje

'Although the book is designed for senior undergraduate students in physics and engineering, anyone interested in operation of electronic devices will find it enjoyable because of its excellent self-contained description ... This book seems to be driven by a perceived gap in the literature today ... I would also like to mention that the production quality of this hardcover book is very high. I have no hesitation to say that this book is one of the most comprehensive textbooks on the principles and applications of semiconductor materials and devices.' Muhammad Zubair, Contemporary Physics
