This is a good book providing the most important references in the field of semiconductors devices and technology. As a text book it is hard to follow and gives little scientific background regarding the physics of processes in semiconductors and structures design criteria. However, it provides a wonderful summary of the most important facts related to the devices and their derivatives, including valuable data on the common materials in use.

A lot of people consider this the semiconductor device "bible"...but I think that's more or less 'cause back in 85 there just weren't that many good books written a about this subject. There are now many, many books so... It's not a bad book to own so buy this and some other book. You can never have too many books.

This is a very famous book for describing the semiconductor physics, although this is not new. Some people maybe think that is hard to follow, but it does provide a lot of information and document for readers. Thus, it can be a very good reference book because it introduces many important papers in semiconductor developments. So you will know why and how semiconductor devices become what we see today!

Explains the basic concepts in device physics well. Covers generic process steps used to make most semiconductors. Probably a bit outdated, though physics hasn't changed much since 1985. This book is referred to as "eazy Sze" around my office, which is a refrence to "hard Sze"--The physics of semiconductor devices, 1981. "Hard Sze" is the ultimate refrence for device physics.

This book is hard to follow, it jumps around from place to place, there are VERY few example problems and the problems at the end of each chapter don't seem to reflect the material presented. In addition there are no answers provided for the problems.
