Book Summary of Solid State Electronic Devices
Solid State Electronic Devices is designed to serve as a textbook for an introductory course on electronic devices for undergraduate students of engineering. It provides a thorough understanding of the fundamental concepts of the subject.
Beginning with basic topics such as electron dynamics, the book provides detailed coverage of topics such as crystal growth, energy band structure, excess carriers in semiconductors, p-n junctions, and transistors. Upcoming areas such as micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) have also been discussed. The book provides an introduction to optoelectronic devices, power devices, microwave devices, and integrated circuits which will be useful to undergraduate and postgraduate students as also practising scientists.
Written in an easy-to-understand and student-friendly manner, the book includes several illustrative examples. Thought-provoking questions are interspersed throughout the text to test the fundamental concepts as well as to help the students develop critical thinking.
