I am a PhD student, and had to buy this book because it is the textbook for the "Advanced Semiconductor Devices" course.
The book has been nothing but a pain in the neck. The equations are not properly derived, there is insufficient information given for students to be able to solve the problems given at the end of the chapters.
The author frequently introduces new variables, and describes them with an equation without giving any idea of where that equation is coming from.
Do not buy this book. Im sure any other book would be alot better. If this is the textbook for your class, then I guess you are forced to buy it. Best of luck!
Review #2
Great content, some typos, could use some formatting.
This book is very rich in content, covers in great detail a lot of very important and current concepts in semiconductor devices, it has some typos, though. I don't know exactly what kind of word processor Dr. Liou used to type this book, but any current word processor would've made a better job in typing equations, and giving a better format to this book. Anyway this is a very good reference for any person who is serious about semiconductor devices.
