Introductory college textbook on semiconductor devices written while working at Fairchild Semiconductor prior to starting Intel. The book covers both bipolar and field effect junctions including P-N junctions and metal oxide semiconductor devices. This was the definitive text on device physics that most other text books on the topic are derived from. His notation for junction semiconductor bipolar devices became the standard.
