With the miniaturization of solid-state devices, quantum-mechanical principles are playing an increasingly important role in our understanding of device physics. It is difficult to acquire the necessary background within an electrical engineering curriculum. At Purdue, we have recently developed a course specifically for electrical engineering graduate students familiar with semiconductor fundamentals at the level of Vol. VI of this Modular Series, with engineering electromagnetics, and with linear algebra, but having no significant acquaintance with either quantum mechanics or statistical mechanics. The purpose of the course is to introduce the relevant concepts of quantum mechanics and nonequilibrium statistical mechanics as concisely as possible using device-related examples. This book is based on the lecture notes developed by the author for this course.
