Completely updated and expanded from the first edition, the "Survey of Semiconductor Physics", covers the basic elements in the entire field of semiconductor physics. Rather than treating semiconductor devices, this comprehensive reference emphasizes the materials and surface science involved. The second edition uses theoretical approaches and analyses for the basic material classes: crystalline, amorphous, quantum structures, and organics. The first volume provides thorough coverage of the structure of semiconductors, including: phonons; energy bands; photons as they interact with the semiconductor and other particles; defects; generation; and recombination kinetics. In both volumes, extensive appendices simplify searches for formulae and tables. A word index and reference listings allow readers to use the reference in multiple ways to discover expanding literature; to explore similarities and connecting principles in other fields; to find out how others in adjacent fields came up with intriguing solutions to similar problems; and to obtain a broad overview of the entire field of semiconductor physics.
KARL W. BÖER is Distinguished Professor of Physics and Solar Energy Emeritus in the Department of Material Science and Engineering, University of Delaware.
