I own five different books on semiconductor physics and this text is by far the best. I've also references a sixth book.
I understand the other reviewers complaints but I think this is a weakness of all semiconductor books or proof of just how complicated device physics can get.
It helps to have an instructor step you through a lot of the derivations to make you understand the equations.
I like this book because it explains concepts very well. Making use of the equations and knowing when to make assumptions just comes with practice.
I've found a few mistakes but far fewer than some of the other books I've seen.
My advice to students studying semiconductors is to go to the library and get as many books as you can.
A very good book for beginners! November 17, 2001

As well known, this book is dedicated for undergraduate semiconductor courses in electrical engineering department.
Most EE students are lack of strong physical background especially quantum physics, so it's usually hard for them to read semiconductor physics. However, this book use much easy way to introduce solid state physics to the beginners. Then, they can follow the sequential chapters to know what the semiconductor physics is and how they work. If someone would like know more knowledge about semiconductor physics, he could take graduate semiconductor coureses or read some advanced semiconductor textbooks.
Very Good Book for Undergraduate Students! January 3, 2002

Although "Semiconductor Physics and Devices" already has 2nd edition, I still perfer to read the first edition. The 2nd edition basically is vert similar to 1st edition, and the only difference is that the author eliminated some sections in 1st edition, especially some quantum physics parts. Propably, the author think that these parts are too hard for EE background students, but, for me, I think that undermines the continuity of the book and makes some confuses for the readers. Thus, I'd like to suggest the beginners to read the first edition if you can get it!
 organized, easy reference January 17, 2003

This book is used at the University of Washington for an upper level senior, lower level graduate course on semiconductor physics. I've found it a good for breakfast reading. It's a well organized and complete reference to many topics. There are lots of equation numbers and the important ones are boxed in blue (for those like that). Don't read cover to cover.

I like the Physics, and need the information for my homework and i think the Semiconductor Physics and Devices are very important
