Solid State Electronic Devices, 5th Edition

About the Book This book is designed to help readers gain a basic understanding of semiconductor devices and the physical operating principles behind them. This two-fold approach 1) provides the user with a sound understanding of existing devices, and 2) helps them develop the basic tools with which they can later learn about applications and the latest devices. The piece provides one of the most comprehensive treatments of all the important semiconductor devices, and reflects the most current trends in the technology and theoretical understanding of the devices. Features NEW??????????????????Thoroughly updated to reflect the most current trends in the technology and theoretical understanding of devices.
