Solid State Physics For Electronics

Describing the fundamental physical properties of materials used in electronics, the thorough coverage of this book will facilitate an understanding of the technological processes used in the fabrication of electronic and photonic devices. The book opens with an introduction to the basic applied physics of simple electronic states and energy levels. Silicon and copper, the building blocks for many electronic devices, are used as examples. Next, more advanced theories are developed to better account for the electronic and optical behavior of ordered materials, such as diamond, and disordered materials, such as amorphous silicon. Finally, the principal quasi-particles (phonons, polarons, excitons, plasmons, and polaritons) that are fundamental to explaining phenomena such as component aging (phonons) and optical performance in terms of yield (excitons) or communication speed (polarons) are discussed.

The present edition is brought up to incorporate the useful suggestions from a number of readers and teachers for the benefit of students.A topic on common-collector configuration is added to the chapter XIII.A new chapter on logic gates is intriduced at the end.Keeping in view the present style of university Question papers,a number of very short,short and long thoroughly revised and corrected to remove the errors which crept into earlier editions.

This Solution Manual, a companion volume of the book, Fundamentals of Solid-State Electronics, provides the solutions to selected problems listed in the book. Most of the solutions are for the selected problems that had been assigned to the engineering undergraduate students who were taking an introductory device core course using this book. This Solution Manual also contains an extensive appendix which illustrates the application of the fundamentals to solutions of state-of-the-art transistor reliability problems which have been taught to advanced undergraduate and graduate students. This book is also available as a set with Fundamentals of Solid-State Electronics and Fundamentals of Solid-State Electronics — Study Guide.

This Book Is Designed To Cater The Need Of Students Of B.Sc. (Pass And Hons.) Students Of Various Indian Universities On The Basis Of Model Curriculum Recently Proposed By Cdc Of Ugc. The Book Comprises 569 Figures, 266 Examples, 233 Problems And 336 Objective Questions, Distributed In 13 Chapters. Each Problem Is Followed By Its Answer.The Inclusion Of A Large Number Of Problems And Review Questions Are Aimed At Evaluating The Degree Of Conceptual Comprehension A Student Has Acquired As A Result Of Studying The Book. The Solved Examples Are Targetted To Illustrate The Theoretical Ideals Described In The Text.Although The Book Is Aimed To Target B.Sc. Students, Yet Chemists, Material Scientists And Electrical Engineers Would Find It Useful Not Only In Persuing Their Studies, But Also In Professional Applications.The Existence Of Sufficient Number Of Objective Questions Are Framed To Help The Student Immensely To Encounter Competitive Examinations Like Net, Slet, Ics And State Civil Services.

Provides a multidisciplinary introduction to quantum mechanics, solid state physics, advanced devices, and fabrication Covers wide range of topics in the same style and in the same notation Most up to date developments in semiconductor physics and nano-engineering Mathematical derivations are carried through in detail with emphasis on clarity Timely application areas such as biophotonics , bioelectronics

While the standard solid state topics are covered, the basic ones often have more detailed derivations than is customary (with an empasis on crystalline solids). Several recent topics are introduced, as are some subjects normally included only in condensed matter physics. Lattice vibrations, electrons, interactions, and spin effects (mostly in magnetism) are discussed the most comprehensively. Many problems are included whose level is from "fill in the steps" to long and challenging, and the text is equipped with references and several comments about experiments with figures and tables.
