This book is one of the early written books dealing with silicon device physics. I use it every day in my research work since it provides a comprehensive theory of the semiconductor devices. It also provides a good explanation of the physical mechanisms involved in these devices. Everybody working in the electronics field, from device engineers to circuit designers, should have this book in his library.

Very systematic way to develop the theory. Easy to read. I read a few newer books in this field, no one even comes close to this classic book in terms of the treatment of the basic theory.

I live in Japan and have been working on development of semiconductor process technology for ten years. First, I bought the Dr. Grove in Japanese edition when graduate student ,and have been making the best of it , which made me again buy this English edition through amazon.com.(The English edition is not available in Japan)
This book begins with an introduction of process technology(Epitaxy, Oxidation, Diffusion) and followed by the device technology, while all other textbooks begins with device technology of transistor such as pn junction, MOS physics ,Bipolar Physics. This is because, I think, Dr.Grove puts a great importance on process technology and I never read this book again and again without finding something new and important in the chapter 1,2,3 on the solid state technology.
This book is worth while buying and , I recommend that semiconductor-bound students should study this.

Detailed treatment of Semiconductor Physics. A classic book in this field and a excellent source of reference for any Electrical Engineer.
