If your aim is to review the main concepts and refresh your memory of semiconductor devices this book is excellent. Not a book for beginners in the area as it is heavy on equations but the main concepts are dealt with clearly and the many illustrations are quite helpful.

Okay, maybe I'm just dumb, but this book barely has any examples besides the few problems at the end of each chapter. The book is full of equations and not enough explanation. I would not recommend taking this class or buying this book. Of course, if you're an EE student at UC Davis, this class (EEC140A) is required. So, tough luck. All I can tell you is... don't slack off. Attend the lectures, and don't fall behind. I found the materials to be pretty difficult. There's no way around it. Study.

This book is very good! Both for beginners readers as for readers who are seeking more knowledge in physics of semiconductors. I particularly like much of the didactic Colinge. Recommended!

This is terrible text. I am currently studying for a midterm and there are no examples and the authors write at a level that would not be acceptable for high school. The material is hard enough, but this book makes understanding it just that much more difficult. I hope the only schools that actually use this text are the two where the authors teach. I bet the good review was left by one of the authors.

A must buy for those wishing to study the physics of semiconductor devices.
