the way we work, communicate, entertain and think. The
technological progress of semiconductor materials and devices is
evolving continuously with a large worldwide e?ort in human and
monetary capital. For students, semicond- tors o?er a rich, diverse
and exciting ?eld with a great tradition and a bright future. This
book introduces students to semiconductor physics and semicond- tor
devices. It brings them to the point where they can specialize and
enter
supervisedlaboratoryresearch.Itisbasedonthetwosemestersemiconductor
physics course taught at Universit¨ at Leipzig in its Master of
Science physics curriculum. Since the book can be followed with
little or no pre-existing knowledge in solid-state physics and
quantum mechanics, it is also suitable for undergraduate students.
For the interested reader some additional topics are included in
the book that can be covered in subsequent, more speci- ized
courses. The material is selected to provide a balance between
aspects of solid-state and semiconductor physics, the concepts of
various semiconductor devices and modern applications in
electronics and photonics.
