How the periodic potential of a crystal creates allowed and forbidden energy levels (Valence and Conduction bands).
The two primary mechanisms of current flow. semiconductor physics and devices donald neamenpdf
Donald Neamen, a Professor Emeritus of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of New Mexico, has a unique ability to bridge the gap between abstract quantum mechanics and practical device engineering. His book is structured to take a reader from "zero to hero" in three distinct phases: 1. The Physics of Solids (Part I) How the periodic potential of a crystal creates
Introduction to the Schrödinger wave equation and the particle-wave duality of electrons. semiconductor physics and devices donald neamenpdf
The Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor, which powers every modern computer processor.
Before you can understand a transistor, you must understand how electrons behave in a crystal lattice. Neamen covers:
