Essential Semiconductor Physics [pdf]

It turns out that this is a part of an entire series of textbooks focused on semiconductors. https://www.worldscientific.com/series/neelns

As the editors note, this series is meant to be an intellectual successor to the Semiconductor Electronics Education Committee (SEEC) books that were published in the 1960s.

The best class I took in EE school was the 400 level course on this material.

Mathematically had us working from Schrödinger to LEDs and Transistors over the course of 4 months. Changed my whole perspective on shit.

    What were the books used for this?

    • The professor's in-progress manuscript. Sorry, but I didn't retain any information from then in order to look it up, that was 20 years ago.

As someone unfamiliar with this field, I'm amazed at how readable this is. Must be a great professor.
