Summary: Better than Sze
Comment: I know a lot of classes are taught using the Solid State "bible" by S.M.Sze. Pierret far outperforms Sze in terms of presenting an introductory text on the subject matter. I've tutored several people in classes using Sze's book, and every time I've used Pierret who has much more intuitive descriptions of the physics taking place. In the major sections in the book, he has a thorough qualatative description of the device/process before plunging into the quantatative equations. Even then, he is very clear and concise. The problems relate directly to the information presented in the chapter (unlike Sze, who several times uses terminology or assumptions in the problems never mentioned in the body of the text). While not perfect, I strongly recommend this book for ANYONE needing an introduction to the physics behind semiconductor devices, and I strongly urge any instructors to use this book instead of Sze's Semiconductor Devices book.

Summary: it is a good start book in semiconductors
Comment: Hello , I had lectured this book as a text at a university in Iran and my students had found this book very good. This book is translated in Farsi by Dr.Moravvej Farshi and published by Sharif University of Technology, the greatest technological university in Iran.

Summary: Arrogant Author, No Solutions, Requires a PhD. to understand
Comment: This was by far the most horrible, self-strutting, poorly-written textbook I have ever had the misfortune to come across.
Do yourself a favor: *DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BUY THIS BOOK*.
Don't be confused by some of the other reviews. Yes, I'm sure if you already have a Ph.D. in EE and have never had a girlfriend, this book would probably make great bedside reading. But for anyone searching for an introductory textbook, who believes in such a thing as clear explanations, and who would like some practice problems that the author has actually provided solutions for (instead of some lame "difficulty guidelines" which obviously took the author much less time to prepare than real solutions), look elsewhere. Gosh, you'd think upwards of one hundred dollars would at least get you some solutions. I'm returning this book later today and hopefully I'll get some fraction of the exorbitant price I paid for it back.
Again, my advice: *DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BUY THIS BOOK*
There are *much* better books out there.
