Publisher Description:
Written in a concise, easy-to-read style, this text for senior undergraduate and graduate courses covers all key topics thoroughly. It is also a useful self-study guide for practising engineers who need a complete, up-to-date review of the subject. Key features:

- Rigorous theoretical treatment combined with practical detail

- A theoretical framework built up systematically from the Schr dinger Wave Equation and the Boltzmann Transport Equation

- Covers MOSFETS, HBTs and HJFETS

- Uses the PSP model for MOSFETS

- Rigorous treatment of device capacitance

- Describes the operation of modern, high-performance transistors and diodes

- Evaluates the suitability of various transistor types and diodes for specific modern applications

- Covers solar cells and LEDs and their potential impact on energy generation and reduction

- Includes a chapter on nanotransistors to prepare students and professionals for the future

- Provides results of detailed numerical simulations to compare with analytical solutions

- End-of-chapter exercises

- Online lecture slides for undergraduate and graduate courses
