Best pn junction book (question)

AI Thread Summary
A user seeks a comprehensive book on pn junction diodes, expressing confusion with existing texts like "Solid State Electronic Devices" by Ben G. Streetman and "Elementary Solid State Physics" by M. Ali Omar. They require a resource that clearly explains concepts and equations, as they have a limited timeframe of three months to grasp the material. Recommendations include two volumes from a series, with Volume 2 being suggested as a reasonable starting point, noting that Volume 1 is necessary for foundational knowledge. Both books are described as clearly written and suitable for beginners.

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...

This thread only works as a summary from the original source: List of STEM Masterworks in Physics, Mechanics, Electrodynamics... The original thread got very long and somewhat hard to read so I have compiled the recommendations from that thread in an online (Google Drive) spreadsheet. SUMMARY Permits are granted so you can make comments on the spreadsheet but I'll initially be the only one capable of edition. This is to avoid the possibility of someone deleting everything either by mistake...
By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
