The Physics of Semiconductors

“The Physics of Semiconductors” is a book about how semiconductors work, from the basic physics to the devices we use every day. The book is written for a general audience, but with a focus on readers in the United States.

The book starts with the basics of quantum mechanics and solid-state physics. Then it dives into how these principles apply to semiconductors, like silicon and gallium arsenide.

The book explains important concepts like band theory, how electricity flows through semiconductors, and how semiconductors are used to make devices like transistors and solar cells.

The book also talks about how semiconductors are made and how scientists are working on new and improved semiconductors.

“The Physics of Semiconductors” is a great resource for anyone who wants to learn more about how this important technology works.
