Physics of Semiconductor Devices van Simon M. Sze, Yiming Li and Kwok K. Ng is an English-language textbook that provides deep insight into the physics of semiconductor components. This reference work is intended for professionals and engineers working on semiconductor devices.
The fourth edition remains the standard reference for the fundamental physics and operation of both bipolar and unipolar devices, including special microwave and opto-electronic components. The book covers semiconductor properties in depth, p-n junctions, metal-semiconductor contacts, and metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) capacitors.
Special attention is given to field-effect transistors, such as MOSFETs, JFETs, and MESFETs, in addition to bipolar transistors and negative resistance and power devices. It also addresses photonic devices and sensors, from LEDs to solar cells and various photodetectors.
This technical reference work is relevant to fields such as Electronics and Communications Engineering and Telecommunications within TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING.
