Introductory book on semiconductors?

[2sin54]

Hi. Specifically I would be interested in a not-too-advanced book (I don't know Quantum Mechanics) on semiconductor physics. Specifically, point defects and photoexcitation effects on semiconductor properties, energy levels, etc. Am I asking for too much?

One could start with websites such as Hyperphysics, or MIT Open Courses,

There seems to be various textbooks one can purchase.
