Physics of semiconductors. 5th edition. Shalimova K.V.

In the present, the already become classic textbook, model ideas about the electrical conductivity mechanism are considered, the basics of the zone theory of semiconductors and the theory of vibration vibrations are given, the statistics of electrons and holes are set out, the mechanisms of dispersion of the charge carriers, the generation and recombination of the charge carriers, diffusion and the drift of unequal charges , settled contact and superficial phenomena in semiconductors, their optical and photoelectric properties. Following his many years of pedagogical experience, the author deliberately avoids excessive overload of the material with complex mathematical calculations that prevent students from understanding the physical meaning of the described phenomena, and achieves its simple and strict exposition.

The textbook will be useful to students, graduate students and teachers of physical and technical specialties, as well as engineers and technical workers and specialists in the field of conductors physics.
