Synopsis

Semiconductor devices power modern computing, communications, energy systems, sensing, and photonics. Understanding how they work requires more than memorising isolated equations. It requires a connected view of materials, quantum states, carrier behaviour, device structures, fabrication, measurement, and reliability.

HANDBOOK OF SEMICONDUCTOR PHYSICS AND DEVICES gives engineering students and practising professionals that complete foundation in one carefully structured reference. It begins with crystal structure, bonding, defects, energy bands, carrier statistics, transport, generation, and recombination, then develops the physics of junctions, contacts, bipolar transistors, MOSFETs, CMOS, and short-channel scaling.

The later chapters connect device theory to real engineering decisions. Explore optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices, power semiconductor structures, fabrication and process integration, thermal behaviour, packaging, reliability, failure mechanisms, and emerging materials such as silicon carbide, gallium nitride, gallium oxide, perovskites, and two-dimensional materials. The final chapter shows how to plan measurements, extract parameters, validate compact models, use TCAD responsibly, quantify uncertainty, and compare complete design options.

Inside, you will find:
• Clear explanations that connect physical principles to device behaviour
• SI units and internationally recognised semiconductor notation
• 45 original technical figures for band diagrams, structures, transport, processes, and design reasoning
• Worked engineering comparisons covering optical, power, thermal, and measurement problems
• Practical guidance for interpreting current-voltage, capacitance-voltage, transient, optical, thermal, and reliability data
• A glossary, mathematical tools, material-property tables, unit conversions, and index for fast reference
Whether you are studying semiconductor engineering, revising device physics, designing a power or photonic system, or evaluating an emerging technology, this handbook is built to remain useful from first principles through professional design review.
Its progression makes difficult ideas easier to revisit, compare, apply, and communicate across university, laboratory, manufacturing, and product-development settings.
