Advanced Semiconductor Fundamentals (2nd Edition)

Rating:
Summary: Book
Review: One more very good book from Pierret. A significant amount of the content is similar to the "Semiconductor Fundamentals" book from the same author. However the first chapters are different, and reffer to an introduction on Solid State Physics and Quantum Mechanics. If you cannot buy it at least get a copy from the library and take a look on it. It is worth!

Rating:
Summary: Book is too short
Review: This book is too short; the author clearly know what he's talking about, but he gives barely enough information for the book to be of any use.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent introduction to Solid State Physics
Review: This book provides a concise introduction to Solid State Physics. Also contains the basics of Quantum Mechanics.

Summary: Excellent
Review: This is an excellent treatise on the theory of semiconductors which is essential in learning solid-state devices like basic pn junctions and MOS devices. This book lays the fundamentals needed for a good understanding of these devices. Very useful for advanced undergrads and grads. This may be used as a companion volume with Streetman & Banerjee. However all the books of this 'Purdue' series is excellent - they are concise, clear and advanced.
