Solid State & Microelectronics Technology

Solid State & Microelectronics Technology is a comprehensive textbook designed for courses in solid state device physics as part of electronics / electrical engineering and IT courses. The book has two main objectives aimed at students and the future engineer: 1) to deliver knowledge of quantum physics and 2) to familiarize them with modern device types and fabrication processes. The breadth of subjects covered in the book serves a useful integrative function in combining fundamental science with applications. Recent developments are illustrated thoughtfully to encourage the reader to adopt this field as their research area.
