Best pn junction book (question)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion focuses on finding suitable books for understanding pn junction diodes, particularly for beginners. Users recommend "Solid State Electronic Devices" by Ben G. Streetman and "Elementary Solid State Physics" by M. Ali Omar, but note that these texts may be confusing for novices. A specific suggestion is made for "Semiconductor Physics and Devices" (Volume 2) available on Amazon, which is considered a reasonable starting point, along with its prerequisite Volume 1. These books are praised for their clarity and accessibility.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of semiconductor physics
  • Familiarity with electronic device terminology
  • Knowledge of fundamental physics concepts
  • Ability to interpret mathematical equations related to diodes
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Semiconductor Physics and Devices" Volume 1 and Volume 2
  • Explore additional resources on pn junction diode theory
  • Study the principles of solid-state electronics
  • Review online courses or tutorials on semiconductor devices
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for students, electronics enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a foundational understanding of pn junction diodes and semiconductor physics.

hi all

i need a book about pn junction diode that starts from 0 and goes to 100. I've been reading solid state electronic devices by Ben G Streetman and elementary solid state physics by M. Ali Omar but these are too confusing and a lot of things are not explained like how some equations are driven or what are the terms and their meanings in them. i also have only three months to get myself into it or at least into some acceptable marks. if there's no one book you can also suggest me few books that complete each other and have explained everything. I'm a noob...
