Description
Book SynopsisPraise for the First Edition
The book goes beyond the usual textbook in that it provides more specific examples of real-world defect physics an easy reading, broad introductory overview of the field
?Materials Today
well written, with clear, lucid explanations
?Chemistry World
This revised edition provides the most complete, up-to-date coverage of the fundamental knowledge of semiconductors, including a new chapter that expands on the latest technology and applications of semiconductors. In addition to inclusion of additional chapter problems and worked examples, it provides more detail on solid-state lighting (LEDs and laser diodes). The authors have achieved a unified overview of dopants and defects, offering a solid foundation for experimental methods and the theory of defects in semiconductors.

Trade Review
"The second edition of this textbook lays the groundwork for both the classical and modern developments in the theory of semiconductors. This book is significant both for its presentation of the basic principles of the theory of defects in semiconductors and for its exposition of recent developments in the field, such as LEDs and laser diodes."
--Christian Brosseau, OSA Fellow and professor of physics, Université de Bretagne Occidentale, Brest, France
