The physics of semiconductors

Brings the reader to an overview of the subject as a whole and to the point where they can specialize and enter supervised laboratory research Provides a balance between aspects of solid state and semiconductor physics and the concepts of various semiconductor devices and their applications in electric and photonic devices. Proffers explicit formulas (with the help of Mathematica) for as many as possible results, going beyond current textbook equations, thus makes easier to understand for undergrads.
