From the point of view of an advanced beginner in semiconductors I have to rate this book very highly. As a physical chemist I was primarily interested in part I "semiconductor physics" and part IV "negative resistance power devices." Therefore my review only pertains to those parts of the text. The coverage of these issues is wonderful. The author leads you along from fundamental concepts into a much more detailed understanding of semiconductors.

Excellent reference but should be accompanied with course instruction or a basic introduction to semiconductor physics text. Much of the mathematical details to get to the results presented in the text are as usual, left out.
