Fundamentals of Semiconductors Physics and Materials Properties

We have so far received many comments and feedback on our book from all quarters including students, instructors and, of course, many friends. We are most grateful to them not only for their compliments but also for their valu­ able criticism. We also received many requests for an instructor manual...
