Hi, I am studing about p-n juntions and diodes in my Physical Electronics class. And, unfortunately, the book that I am using is not the greatest book in the world. Do any of you guys have any good books in mind that would be helpful?

Sze, Physics of Semiconductor Devices, was the standard for a generation of solid state device guys. It's quite good, in my opinion.
