Semiconductor Physical Electronics, Second Edition, provides comprehensive coverage of fundamental semiconductor physics that is essential to an understanding of the physical and operational principles of a wide variety of semiconductor electronic and optoelectronic devices. This text presents a unified and balanced treatment of the physics, characterization, and applications of semiconductor materials and devices for physicists and material scientists who need further exposure to semiconductor and photonic devices, and for device engineers who need additional background on the underlying physical principles. This updated and revised second edition reflects advances in semicondutor technologies over the past decade, including many new semiconductor devices that have emerged and entered into the marketplace. It is suitable for graduate students in electrical engineering, materials science, physics, and chemical engineering, and as a general reference for processing and device engineers working in the semicondictor industry.

About the author
Sheng Li wurde 1975 in Taiyuan, in der VR China geboren, wo er sein Studium im Fach Jura absolvierte und schließlich zwei Jahre lang als Dozent für Wirtschaftsrecht an der juristischen Fakultät der North University of China arbeitete Zurzeit arbeitet er an seiner Promotion an der Universität Bayreuth.§Als chinesischer Rechtswissenschaftler in Deutschland sieht er es als seine Aufgabe, einen Beitrag zum Austausch zwischen deutschem und chinesischem Recht zu leisten. Von März bis Juli 2010 arbeitete er als Gutachter im Programm Verbraucherschutz und Produktsicherheit bei der GIZ China und wirkte beim Deutsch-Chinesischen Symposium zur Spielwarensicherheit mit. Die Tätigkeit motivierte ihn, sich der Thematik des vorliegenden Buches zu widmen.
