ABSTRACT

This superior resource, whether used in the classroom or for self-study, provides a complete grounding in quantum mechanics for those looking to deepen their understanding of semiconductor device physics and electrical engineering. It provides the necessary background to quantum theory for those starting work on micro- and nanoelectronic structures and will continue to provide use as a reference for those going on to work with semiconductors and lasers.
