Solid state physics is a fascinating sub-genre of condensed matter physics - though some graduate students consider it a very boring and tedious subject area in Physics and others even call it a "squalid state". Topics covered in this book are built on standard solid state physics references available in most online libraries or in other books on solid state physics. The complexity of high speed semiconductor physics and related devices arose from condensed solid state matter. The content covered in this book gives a deep coverage on some topics or sections that may be covered only superficially in other literature. Therefore, these topics are likely to differ a great deal from what is deemed important elsewhere in other books or available literature. There are many extremely good books on solid-state physics and condensed matter physics but very few of these books are restricted to high speed semiconductor physic though. Chapter one covers the general semiconductor qualities that make high speed semiconductor devices effect and includes the theory of crystals, diffusion and ist mechanisms, while chapter two covers solid state materials, material processing for high speed semiconductor devices and an introduction to quantum theory for materials in relation to density of states of the radiation for a black body and ist radiation properties. Chapter three discuss high speed semiconductor energy band theory, energy bands in general solid semiconductor materials, the Debye model, the Einstein model the Debye model and semiconductor transport carriers in 3D semiconductors while chapter four discuss effect of external force on current flow based on the concept of holes valence band, and lattice scattering in high speed devices. Chapter five briefly describes solid state thermoelectric fundamentals, thermoelectric material and thermoelectric theory of solids in lattice and phonons while chapter six scattering in high field effect in semiconductors in inter-valley electron scattering and the associated Fermi Dirac statistics and Maxwell-Boltzmann approximation on their carrier concentration variation with energy in extrinsic doping chapter seven covers p-n junction diodes, varactor diode, pin diode Schottky diode and their transient response of diode in multi-valley semiconductors. Chapter eight discusses high speed metal semiconductor field effect transistors.

CHAPTER TWO, THEORIES FOR MATERIALS PROCESSING:
Material Technologies:
Materials Science and Engineering is a field of engineering that encompasses a wide spectrum of materials types. These materials span form metals, ceramics, polymers or plastics, semiconductors and composites which are material combinations. The world now is both dependent upon certain specific limited materials. Every product we see or use is made of certain materials. These ranges from cars, airplanes, computers, refrigerators, microwave ovens, TVs, dishes, silverware, athletic equipment of all types, and biomedical devices such as replacement joints and limbs. All of them are made of materials tailored for their specific application. Their specific application is fine-tuned result of a careful selection of materials and controlled manufacturing processes to convert the materials into the final engineered product. A great understanding of material properties is thus desirable.
New materials technologies developed through engineering and science continue to make startling changes in our lives in this 21st century. These engineers deal with the science and technology of producing materials that have properties and shapes suitable for practical use. Engineering activities range from primary materials production through design and development of new materials for reliable and economical final product manufacturing and such activities are found in aerospace, transportation, electronics, energy conversion and biomedical systems industries. New and improved materials are an "underpinning technology" and one that stimulate innovation and product improvement. High quality products result from improved processing and more emphasis will be placed on reclaiming and recycling. For these many reasons, most surveys name the materials field as one of the careers with excellent future opportunities.
CD-ROMs, dessert plates, basketballs, car engines, telephones, and audiocassettes are made of materials. Although the field deals with materials, it encompasses an incredible diversity of topics especially those in solid state physics and problems constituting the four elements of the field; processing, structure, properties, and performance depend on a clear understanding of material properties hence history of material science is measured by innovations made in materials. Developments in metals like iron and bronze enabled advances in civilization thousands of years ago due to a clear understanding of quantum beahviour of materials.
The synergy continues today in the fiber optics and has created the World Wide Web or in the development of biomaterials that has developed a mimic of living tissues. It is noticeable that as you explore the quantum field of materials, it is useful to be familiar with some generic categories of materials. Metals are materials that are a combination of "metallic elements" and these elements when combined have electrons that are non-localized. As a consequence, these materials have generic properties. Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity and quite strong but deformable bond and structure that tend to have a lustrous look when polished.
Ceramics are compounds between metallic and nonmetallic elements. They include compounds as oxides, nitrides, and carbides. They are insulating in nature and resistant to high temperatures as well as harsh environments. Plastics on the other hand are also known as polymers. They are organic compounds based upon carbon and hydrogen with very large molecular structures, low density and are not stable at high temperatures. Semiconductors are materials that have electrical properties intermediate between metallic conductors and ceramic insulators. Their electrical properties strongly depend upon the presence of small amounts of impurities. We also have materials we call composites that consist of more than one material type. An example is the fiberglass which is a combination of glass an
