Neamen's Semiconductor Physics and Devices, Third Edition. deals with the electrical properties and characteristics of semiconductor materials and devices. The goal of this book is to bring together quantum mechanics, the quantum theory of solids, semiconductor material physics, and semiconductor device physics in a clear and understandable way.
This book is truly horrendous. Nearly all the examples are plug and chug, and most of the problems are. The derivations incorporate numerous unstated assumptions and there are numerous mathematical typos and errors. Little physical insight is conveyed, and the review of quantum theory is poorly motivated. This is the worst science textbook I have read. If this book is assigned to you for a course, go to the library and find a better book. Because you won't learn much from here, unless you have a great instructor.
