Electronic engineering semiconductors and devices - John Allison

A new edition of a well respected and successful text, Electronic Engineering Semiconductors and Devices, 2/e brings students a thorough updating of the subject matter. The text provides a balance of physical descriptions of properties, as well as the underlying theoretical physics-allowing for complete characterization of performance. The organization of the book is extremely logical, moving from fundamental processes to complete coverage of specific examples, rather than presenting examples several times throughout the text. This new edition responds to the developments in the field by increasing its interdisciplinary content, and forty percent of the material is devoted to new technology including optoelectronics, GaAs, heterojunctions, microwave I.C.s and superlattices. In addition, there is an increased number of examples that clearly demonstrate theories.
