Semiconductor Science: Engineering the Digital Future

This book provides an in-depth yet accessible exploration of semiconductor physics, materials, devices, fabrication, and emerging technologies. It is designed for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students in physics, electronics engineering, and related disciplines, as well as engineers and researchers. The text integrates theoretical foundations with practical device applications. Spanning ten chapters, each approximately 8,000 words, the book covers topics including quantum mechanics, semiconductor materials, transistors, fabrication techniques, and advanced technologies such as nanosheet transistors, extreme ultraviolet lithography, and silicon carbide power devices. Emphasizing developments up to 2025, the book presents complex concepts clearly, supported by 18 original figures and diagrams to enhance understanding.
