Focusing specifically on silicon devices, the Third Edition of Device Electronics for Integrated Circuits takes students in integrated-circuits courses from fundamental physics to detailed device operation. Because the book focuses primarily on silicon devices, each topic can include more depth, and extensive worked examples and practice problems ensure that students understand the details.
The book looked newish. But it didn't have a preshrink wrap on it. Also, it had a bunch of black smudges on the side of it making me think it was a nearly new book and not a new one like it was advertised to be.
I read this book as a course textbook and it is not a good choice for a text. The problem is that it's English is not good. The chapters that you have enough background seem very good but if you do not have any idea of the subject you will need to spend lots of time to get the point. On the other hand, the book has lots of figures and tables that are unique in its type and you cannot find the in similar books. It can be a good reference.
