Description
This book offers students with no previous background the first unified and coherent treatment of general physics with an emphasis on semiconductor physics. It introduces the first principles of classical physics, then develops the concepts and methods of quantum mechanics and their application to atoms and solids. Also presented are the characteristics of semiconductor devices (transistors and diodes) and their use in the construction of logic circuits, which are fundamental to the operation of the computer. The cloth edition of this book was published in November 1986.
