Features: This book is an improved version of "Semiconductor Physics and Devices, 3rd Edition" written by Professor Neamen of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of New Mexico, USA. Compared to the original book, this edition better integrates solid crystal structure, introductory quantum mechanics, quantum theory of solids, and semiconductor physics and devices into an organic whole. With this book, students only need a foundation in advanced mathematics and general university physics to systematically learn the basic theories of semiconductor devices in one semester, laying a solid foundation for entering the field of microelectronics research. This feature is also difficult to achieve with similar textbooks currently published in China.
Additionally, this book strives to maintain the main strengths of the original book:
(1) Emphasis on fundamental concepts and methods. The overall content arrangement and specific chapter narratives of this book reflect the guiding principle of highlighting physical concepts and emphasizing basic analytical methods. The mathematical derivations and physical analyses are integrated, and the conclusions not only play a crucial role in understanding physical concepts but are also robust enough to withstand repeated scrutiny. The book also incorporates numerous clear illustrations to help readers better grasp fundamental concepts.
(2) Strong readability and ease of self-study. The book is well-structured, with clear logic and explanations that are easy for readers to understand and master. Each chapter begins with an introduction that tells readers what they can learn and should master from the chapter. Examples and reader self-assessment questions are included throughout each chapter, and each chapter ends with a summary, review outline, and a large number of exercises (including some practice problems that involve computer simulation calculations). Deepening readers' understanding of fundamental concepts through examples and exercises is a prominent feature of this book.
