As we settle into this second decade of the 21st century it is
evident that the advances in microelectronics have truly
revolutionized our day-to-day lifestyle. The growth of
microelectronics itself has been driven, and in turn is calibrated
by, the growth in density of transistors on a single integrated
circuit, a growth that has come to be known as Moore's Law.
Considering that the first transistor appeared only at the middle
of the last century, it is remarkable that billions of transistors
can now appear on a single chip. The technology is built upon
semiconductors, materials in which the band gap has been engineered
for special values suitable to the particular application. This
book, written specifically for a one-semester course for graduate
students, provides a thorough understanding of the key solid-state
physics of semiconductors and prepares readers for further advanced
study, research and development work in semiconductor materials and
applications. The book describes how quantum mechanics gives
semiconductors unique properties that enabled the microelectronics
revolution, and sustain the ever-growing importance of this
revolution. Including chapters on electronic structure, lattice
dynamics, electron-phonon interactions and carrier transport it
also discusses theoretical methods for computation of band
structure, phonon spectra, the electron-phonon interaction and
transport of carriers.
