Intended for students of computer science and electrical engineering, this text is directed toward teaching the fundamental physics of how a computer works, while at the same time providing a broad and effective one-year introduction to classical and modern physics. The presentation includes many of the topics of a standard introductory physics course as well as the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, multi -electron systems, crystal structure, semiconductor devices, and logic circuits.
Presents many of the topics of a standard introductory physics course in the first section of the book, but with the selection tailored to be of use in the second half, which develops the physics of semiconductor devices * Incorporates updated material regarding electronic devices * Includes new chapter on integrated circuits and heterostructures
