The new edition of the most detailed and comprehensive single-volume reference on major semiconductor devices The Fourth Edition of Physics of Semiconductor Devices remains the standard reference work... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I could not make out the difference whether it is a new book or old one...it was of such good quality..
A chemists point of view
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
From the point of view of an advanced beginner in semiconductors I have to rate this book very highly. As a physical chemist I was primarily interested in part I "semiconductor physics" and part IV "negative resistance power devices." Therefore my review only pertains to those parts of the text. The coverage of these issues is wonderful. The author leads you along from fundamental concepts into a much more detailed understanding of semiconductors.
Great fundamentals book

This book is not for undergrad. But if you want to be a guru, you still find this book very useful.
This is not a textbook!

I decided to write this review after reading the previous reviews to this book. Apparently, a couple of the reviewers think of this book as a text book, which it is not. Even though the first edition was published in 1968, and the second in 1981, this book is still a very useful reference to anyone who works in the field of semiconductor device physics. The author presupposes a good amount of knowledge, and does not try to lead the reader "by hand" through all the details in the derivation of the mathematical expressions. I recommend this book to all serious scholars at the senior level and beyond, -as a reference book-.
