Development of semiconductors to modern devices.Semiconductors and Modern Electronics is a brief introduction to the physics behind semiconductor technologies. Chuck Winrich, a physics professor at Babson College, explores the topic of semiconductors from a qualitative approach to understanding the theories and models used to explain semiconductor devices. Applications of semiconductors are explored and understood through the models developed in the book. The qualitative approach in this book is intended to bring the advanced ideas behind semiconductors to the broader audience of students who will not major in physics.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Chuck Winrich teaches Physics and Astronomy at Babson College. He earned a BS in Physics from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, an MS in Astrophysics from Iowa State University, and an EdD in Curriculum and Teaching, focused on Physics Education, from Boston University. He has presented his work at National Science Teaching Association meetings and at the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) meetings. He is a member of AAPT's Committee on History and Philosophy of Physics.Title from PDF title page (viewed on September 5, 2019).
