This text aims to provide the fundamentals necessary to understand semiconductor device characteristics, operations and limitations. Quantum mechanics and quantum theory are explored, and this background helps give students a deeper understanding of the essentials of physics, semiconductor material physics and semiconductor device physics and how they interelate. Throughout the text new computer-driven problems and examples have been added using numerical techniques, MATLAB, Mathcad and PSpice, and the whole edition emphasizes the value of the computer as a tool in design and problem solving.
