Semiconductor Contacts

by Heinz K. Henisch

Published 1 December 1984

In a very readable style, this book presents what is currently known about the electrical properties of semiconductor contacts by relating concepts to the means of testing them. It bridges the gap between the high-level abstractions of the modern theory of solids and phenomenological treatments widely employed in device physics. Comprehensive and up-to-date, this volume replaces the author's highly successful Rectifying Semiconductor Contacts (Oxford, 1957). It is the best specialized book on semiconductor contacts currently available.
