Hi,
could anyone suggest books on solid state physics? There are quite a lot of books which treat the subject differently. My aim is to be able to explain band diagrams for different semiconductor structures, pn, MOS, p-i-n and then get into two dimensional modelling of these structures. Suggestions on any of the above topics are welcome. Thanks a heap.

Hi,

To me the most famouse one is "Introduction to Solid State Physics" by Charles Kittel.
What I have is 7th edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., NY

But this one is more on Solid State Physics and as I understood you need more on Semiconductor Physics.

Then take "Physics of Semiconductor Devices" by S.M. Sze (from Bell Labs). John Wiley, 2nd Edition., NY

Thanks. I think i will use both of them.

ben.g.streetman's book is also very suitable
