Semiconductor Physics An Introduction

Semiconductor Physics An Introduction / by Karlheinz Seeger.

Televisions, telephones, watches, calculators, robots, airplanes and space vehicles all depend on silicon chips. Life as we know it would hardly be possible without semiconductor devices. An understanding of how these devices work requires a detailed knowledge of the physics of semiconductors, inclu...
