Synopsis:

Aiming to provide students with a sound understanding of existing devices in order to develop the basic tools with which they can later learn about applications and the latest devices, this study incorporates the basics of semiconductor materials and conduction processes in solids. It also introduces and relates the most commonly used semiconductor terms and concepts to a broad range of devices. In addition, the work presents the study of solid state devices including both silicon and compound semiconductors so that undergraduate students may appreciate the continuing growth in importance of exciting optoelectronic and high-speed device applications.

From the Back Cover: \* 15876-6, Streetman, Solid State Electronic Devices, 4/E *\ Key Benefit: Engineers and scientists who deal with electronics must continually be involved in professional up-dating and self-education in order to keep abreast of new devices and processes. This modern introduction to existing solid state electronic devices surveys the state-of-the-art in theory, applications, and the latest devices. It discusses both silicon and semiconductors -- to reflect their continuing growth in importance for emerging optoelectronic and high-speed device applications. Key Topics: First reviews the nature of semiconductors and conduction processes in solids; then describes the p-n junction and some of its applications and the principles of transistor operation and their application to integrated circuits; and concludes by exploring the applications of the theory of junctions and conduction processes to lasers, switching devices, and microwave devices. Includes substantive practice problems and reading lists of professional literature for both introductory and quantitative treatments of selected topics. Market: For practicing engineers and scientists who want to update their knowledge of modern electronics for a fuller understanding of the current literature on new devices and applications.
