Sze (electronics engineering, National Chiao Tung U., Taiwan) and Ng (an electrical engineer with MVC (Model View Controller) An architecture for building applications that separate the data (model) from the user interface (view) and the processing (controller).  in San Jose, California San Jose (IPA: /ˌsænhoʊˈzeɪ/) is the third-largest city in California, and the tenth-largest in the United States. It is the county seat of Santa Clara County. ) present the new edition of a work introducing the device physics and operational principles of semiconductors, revising and updating over half of the material from the last edition, which was published in 1981. They have retained the basic physics of classic devices and added material on such areas of contemporary interest as three-dimensional MOSFETs (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors), nonvolatile memory, modulation-doped field effect transistor See FET.

, single-electron transistor, resonant-tunneling diode, insulated-gate bipolar transistor The insulated-gate bipolar transistor is a three-terminal power semiconductor device that combines the simple gate-drive characteristics of the MOSFETs with the high-current and low–saturation-voltage capability of bipolar transistors by combining an isolated-gate FET for the , quantum cascade laser Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are semiconductor lasers that emit in the mid- to far-infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum and were first demonstrated by Jerome Faist, Federico Capasso, Deborah Sivco, Carlo Sirtori, Albert Hutchinson, and Alfred Cho at Bell Laboratories , and semiconductor sensors. Less important topics have been omitted or reduced in order to maintain overall book length. Also new to the material are problem sets at the end of each chapter. The Fourteen chapters are organized into sections on the physics and properties of semiconductors, device building blocks, transistors, negative-resistance and power devices, and photonic devices and sensors.
