Materials in Electronics

This book is about the properties of materials at the most fundamental level, with a particular bias on the application of these properties to electronic systems. This book forms the basis of the book on Semiconductors. This book starts from considering the electron as a particle in a material, and progresses to the properties of conductive and semiconductive materials.
