Solid State Devices
This section covers a variety of topics in solid state electronics.
Read this!
Note: The equations in this section are grouped under topics which describe general properties of semiconductors or
devices. Equations for a variety of specific cases and are listed together under a sub-topic heading and are not
necessarily a set of consistent equations which can be solved together. Choosing equations in a subtopic w/o regard as
to whether the equations represent actual relationships could generate erroneous results or no solution at all. Read the
description of each equation set to determine which equations in a sub-topic form a consistent subset before attempting
to compute a solution.
