[edit] Introduction
This book is part of a series on Electric Circuits:
This book is going to be an introductory text on semiconductors. This book will talk about the theoretical basis for semiconductors, and will show some examples of how semiconductors are used. Later chapters will show some of the ways diodes and transistors are used both in digital circuits, and in analog circuits.
The current layout of this table of contents is partially based off the table of contents to "The Art Of Electronics" (see Further Reading, Below). This layout is subject to change as new material is added.
This book is in an early state of development. Any help would be well appreciated.
