この電子書籍について

It is beneficial for technical personnel working in the field of microelectronics, optoelectronics,

and photonics to get a good understanding of the physical foundations of modern semiconductor

devices. Questions that technical personnel may ask are: How are electrons propagating in the

periodic potential of a crystal lattice? What are the foundations of semiconductor

heterostructure devices? How does quantum mechanics relate to semiconductor

heterostructures? This book tries to answer questions such as these.

The book provides a basis for the understanding of modern semiconductor devices that have

dimensions in the nanometer range, that is, comparable to the electron de Broglie wavelength.

For such small spatial dimensions, classical physics no longer gives a full description of physical

processes. The inclusion of quantum mechanical principles becomes mandatory and provides a

useful description of common physical processes in electronic, optoelectronic, and photonic

devices.

Chapters 1 to 11 teach the quantum‐mechanical principles, including the postulates of quantum

mechanics, operators, the uncertainty principle, the Schrödinger equation, non‐periodic and

periodic potentials, quantum wells, and perturbation theory. Chapters 12 to 20 apply these

principles to semiconductor devices and discuss the density of states, semiconductor statistics,

carrier concentrations, doping, tunneling, and aspects of heterostructure devices.

The 2022 edition is a complete revision of the 2015 edition and also updates the formatting to

make it easily viewable with electronic display devices.

E. Fred Schubert received his Ph.D. degree with Honors in Electrical Engineering from University of Stuttgart in 1986 and is currently the Wellfleet Senior Constellation Professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He has made pioneering contributions to the fields of microelectronics, optoelectronics, photonics, and lighting. He has authored or co-authored more than 300 publications including the books “Doping in III–V Semiconductors” (published in 1993), for which he was awarded the VDE Literature Prize, and the first and second edition of the book “Light Emitting Diodes” (published in 2003 and 2006, respectively). He is inventor or co-inventor of more than 30 US Patents and a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the American Physical Society (APS), the Optical Society of America (OSA), and the International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE). He received several awards including the Senior Research Award of the Humboldt Foundation, the Discover Award for Technological Innovation, the RD 100 Award, the Boston University’s Provost Innovation Fund Award, the Scientific American 50 Award, the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Trustee Faculty Achievement Award, and the 25 Most Innovative Micro- and Nano-Products of 2007 Award.
