Appendices
"Make[s] it possible for a student in physics, electronic
engineering, or materials science to progress from the level of
elementary courses in quantum mechanics and solid physics to the
position of being able to digest the material and appreciate the
nuances in scientific papers. . . . A good account of modern
semiconductor science and technology. . .It covers a wide variety
of physical phenomena, essential aspects of material technology and
device fabrication. . .Well illustrated."--Materials Research
