This book gives readers enough knowledge of the required principles so they can adapt the knowledge to new materials and types of devices. As device dimensions shrink and more exotic compound semiconductor materials are used in electronic circuits, the physics involved in understanding the device behavior becomes more complicated and more fascinating.
This book presents a very clear description of semiconductor device operation principles. Unlike many other textbooks on the topic that I know of, M. Shur uses simple mathematics in combination with detailed explanations of the underlying physical concepts to explain how the devices work. After finishing the book you will have a crystal clear understanding of the most fundamental principles of diodes, bipolar and field-effect transistors. This makes the book an excellent textbook both for the students taking their first course in electronic devices as well as for those chose to pursue a Master or PhD degree in this field.
