Principles of Electronic Materials and Devices

by Safa O. Kasap

Principles of Electronic Materials and Devices , Third Edition, is a greatly enhanced version of the highly successful text Principles of Electronic Materials and Devices, Second Edition. It is designed for a first course on electronic materials given in Materials Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Physics and Engineering Physics Departments at the undergraduate level. The third edition has numerous revisions that include more beautiful illustrations and photographs, additional sections, more solved problems, worked examples, and end-of-chapter problems with direct engineering applications. The revisions have improved the rigor without sacrificing the original semiquantitative approach that both the students and instructors liked and valued. Some of the new end-of-chapter problems have been especially selected to satisfy various professional engineering design requirements for accreditation across international borders. Advanced topics have been collected under Additional Topics, which are not necessary in a short introductory treatment.

This is the most often book I've read until this time. It contains less basic principles of materials science than MSE book: an Introduction by William Callister.

I love only one part of this book since i'm thoroughly working and studying in semiconductor field. Yes, I love semiconductor. It has back-end and front-end basic principles. But, this book only explain more about front-end process, actually not about process, but the physics.

It contains intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductor on this specific chapter and explains about electron and hole creation, energy band diagram, p-n junction and some application. At first, I can't even understand about the terms but now I'm a little bit understand, eventhough I've already read this book a hundred times, but I'm not that genious to understand all the theories and basics.:D

The book has broad coverage of electronic materials and devices. It is a difficult task for scientist author to write hard subject such as physics of semiconductors and make them easy to understand. However, this book gives you all information needed to comprehend fundamental of electronic material, and it is relatively easy to follow.
