With its strong pedagogy, superior readability, and thorough examination of the physics of semiconductor material, Semiconductor Physics and Devices, Fourth and Devices, Fourth Edition provides a basis for understanding the characteristics, operation, and limitations of semiconductor devices.
Highlights of the Fourth Edition:
- Additional Test Your Understanding exercises have been added throughout. These exercises reinforce the concepts just covered to ensure student understanding before they move on.
- Enhanced pedagogy places an exercise problem after each example as well as an objective statement at the beginning of each example.
- Updates have been made to the coverage of MOS transistors in Chapters 10 and 11 and light-emitting diodes and solar cells in Chapter 14.
- The text has been reorganized to move MOS transistor coverage before bipolar transistors.
- Text additions include coverage of microwave devices in Chapter 15, as well as a new appendix on effective mass concepts.
- Approximately 40% new problems.
Additional resources are available to the instructor at the text website: www.mhhe.com/neamen. Included on the website are an instructor’s solution manual, image library, and lecture PowerPoints. Also available to instructors is the Complete Online Solutions Manual Organization System (COSMOS), which can be used to create exams and assignments, create custom content, and edit supplied problems and solutions.
