Physics of Semiconductor Devices

by Simon M. Sze, Kwok K. Ng

The Third Edition of the standard textbook and reference in the field of semiconductor devices This classic book has set the standard for advanced study and reference in the semiconductor device field. Now completely updated and reorganized to reflect the tremendous advances in device concepts and performance, this Third Edition remains the most detailed and exhaustive single source of information on the most important semiconductor devices. It gives readers immediate access to detailed descriptions of the underlying physics and performance characteristics of all major bipolar, field-effect, microwave, photonic, and sensor devices. Designed for graduate textbook adoptions and reference needs, this new edition includes: Physics of Semiconductor Devices, Third Edition offers engineers, research scientists, faculty, and students a practical basis for understanding the most important devices in use today and for evaluating future device performance and limitations.  A Solutions Manual is available from the editorial department.

The classy reference. I don't see much new in the new version, but I read the 2nd ed. substantially.

Way too many equations for a relatively quick read (admittedly over several months at a few pages a day).

Much interesting info on exotic devices that go way beyond the usual BJT and MOSFET.

Awesome book for device physics. Used for Semiconductor Devices and Models I in Fall '09 at RPI taught by Professor Paul T. Chow. Great reference for other courses that require device parameters.

Although this book is too old to delve in any considerable depth into the nano regime it explains the basics of bulk semiconductors better than anything else I know of thats out there.
