Semiconductor Devices: Physics and Technology

Book has good figures and problems but has bland explanation and no proofs.

This class at least in my opinion is one of the more difficult classes and the book goes into more than enough explanation and detail for my class that I felt I understood the subject and it showed because I got an A in the class.

This book, in spite of its age (2001 era) remains a great introductory overview of the principles and practise of semiconductor device engineering. The clarity and thoroughness of each basic topic are un-surpassed in competitor books.

As a reference text, this is often a useful book. However, it seems as if a lot of information is left out for many of the problems at the end of chapters.

Great Book!!!

Came as described not bad for the price!

This text book is not readable. It just doesn't have a good layout to it. For instance, the pages don't contain the chapter number you are in. You have to figure it out based on examples. One of the chapters(I think chapter 12) was labeled as chapter 11 in the problems, which led to massive amounts of confusion when we did that HW.All of the constants that the book expects you to use are buried insides large paragraphs, therefore it usually wasn't easy to scan a section to find what you were looking for.In addition, several constants, despite being crucial components of the concepts about the atomic level operation of semiconductors, were mentioned nonchalantly and rarely had any explanation as to their importance. It usually meant spending half an hour on the internet seeking understanding where this book should have provided.It contains some errors as well. The only reason we know that is because some of the equations were incorrect compared with internet resources and the professor's knowledge himself.All in all this is a terrible book that was written by professors, for professors. It isn't good for students because it is so disorganized and does not do a good job of introducing difficult concepts of semiconductor physics.

I'm currently studying electrical engineering, and was interested in learning about semiconductors, so I signed up for a class. This was the book my professor selected, and so far this experience has been a nightmare. The book only has one or two examples per section, and many of them just skip important details in the derivations. Repeatedly terms are used before they are defined pages later, and the graphs often referenced when solving problems make it almost impossible to get an accurate reading. This book is a giant headache - I'm having to look at renting another textbook to reference to get through this class, which as you know, isn't cheap. I would never recommend this book to anyone.

This book is not an original print. The first page literally says it is illegal for this book to be sold outside India. Also the paper is like rice paper, you can actually read the previous page through it.

Essential for my Engineering Course.

I like this product because it was very good described and it reflect the product I received. The product is new and in excellent condition!

Okay

nice
