An introduction, for graduate students, to the underlying physics behind devices that drive today's technologies.
Jasprit Singh received his PhD from the University of Chicago. He is the author of seven previous textbooks on semiconductor device physics and technology.
'I have often recommended Singh's texts in the past, and I intend
to do the same with this present one … represents good value for
money …' Contemporary Physics
'The book is capable of being used for a classical course on
semiconductor physics or a more specialized course on advanced
topics … The writing style is clear and concise and the figures are
of high quality … this book is a welcome addition to the textbooks
available on semiconductor physics. it has been written with great
thought placed on the presentation of the material … Importantly,
it has a price accessible to students and will retain its value for
many years to come.' Materials Today
'Professor Singh has produced another excellent volume that will be
a valuable source for both new entrants and the established in the
field of optoelectronic semiconductor structures.' IEEE Circuits
and Devices Magazine
