Introduction to Space Charge Effects in Semiconductors
Book Description:
This book is the most comprehensive one to describe the basics of space-charge effects in semiconductors, starting from basic principles to advanced applications in semiconducting devices. It uses detailed analyses of the transport, Poisson, and continuity equations to demonstrate the behavior of the solution curves of the entire field and current distributions, along with quantitative descriptions of the relevant band models of typical PN-junction and Schottky barrier devices. This emphasizes the relevance to actual machines and sets these results apart from simpler models of networks of diodes and resistors. The book is essential for people interested in a detailed analysis of solar cells and their efficiencies.
