Fundamentals of Semiconductors. Physics and Materials Properties
Since the appearance of our book, Fundamentals of Semiconductors:
Physics and Materials Properties, one of the questions we are asked
most frequently is this: “is there a solution manual to this book?” In preparing
the questions at the end of each chapter we have already tried to guide the
readers to derive the answers by themselves using a step-by-step approach.
Clearly this strategy did not work for everyone. We recognize that many of
the questions in this book are quite challenging and often require reading of
research papers to solve them. In response to readers demand we have decided
to provide solutions to some of the problems in this new edition. Since
working through problems is an important and necessary part of the learning
process in physics we will not give the solutions to all the problems. Instead,
we hope to use the solutions to a number of selected problems in each chapter
as an additional study help to the readers. We like to use these solutions
to provide more in depth discussions to topics which may be too specialized
for a typical course on semiconductor physics. By leaving enough unsolved
problems and adding a few new ones there are still plenty of opportunities for
both the instructors to choose problems for assignments and for students to
test their understanding of the text. We like to point out that, even if the solution
can be found in this manual, there is usually more than one way to solve
a given problem. Conscientious students should always ask whether there is a
better way to solve a problem than the one we have provided in this manual.
This new addition also allows us to update and expand some topics and
references. Finally, we hope to have taken care of the few errors still remaining
in the third edition. We like to use this opportunity to thank the readers
who have identified them to us. Their support has been invaluable in our effort
to improve this book.
