This classroom-tested textbook provides a self-contained
one-semester course in semiconductor physics and devices that is
ideal preparation for students to enter burgeoning quantum
industries. Unlike other textbooks on semiconductor device physics,
it provides a brief but comprehensive introduction to quantum
physics and statistical physics, with derivations and explanations
of the key facts that are suitable for second-year undergraduates,
rather than simply postulating the main results. The book is
structured into three parts, each of which can be covered in around
ten lectures. The first part covers fundamental background material
such as quantum and statistical physics, and elements of
crystallography and band theory of solids. Since this provides a
vital foundation for the rest of the text, concepts are explained
and derived in more detail than in comparable texts. For example,
the concepts of measurement and collapse of the wave function,
which are typically omitted, are presented in this text in language
accessible to second-year students. The second part covers
semiconductors in and out of equilibrium, and gives details which
are not commonly presented, such as a derivation of the density of
states using dimensional analysis, and calculation of the
concentration of ionized impurities from the grand canonical
distribution. Special attention is paid to the solution of
Poisson's equation, a topic that is feared by many undergraduates
but is brought back down to earth by techniques and analogies from
first-year physics. Finally, in the third part, the material in
parts 2 and 3 is applied to describe simple semiconductor devices,
including the MOSFET, the Schottky and PN-junction diodes, and
optoelectronic devices. With a wide range of exercises, this
textbook is readily adoptable for an undergraduate course on
semiconductor physics devices, and with its emphasis on
consolidating and applying knowledge of fundamental physics, it
will leave students in engineering and the physical sciences well
prepared for a future where quantum industries proliferate.
