Fundamentals of Carrier Transport

"Fundamentals of carrier transport is an introduction to the behavior of charged carriers in semiconductors and semiconductor devices. It is written specifically for engineers and students who do not have an extensive background in quantum mechanics and solid-state physics. This second edition contains many new and updated sections, including a completely new chapter on transport in ultrasmall devices." "Many homework exercises are provided and there is a variety of worked examples. The book will be of great interest to graduate students of electrical engineering and applied physics. It will also be invaluable to practicing engineers working on semiconductor device research and development."--BOOK JACKET. Read more...
