Overview
- Entirely self-contained: the basic ideas of quantum mechanics and statistical mechanices are introduced and developed and numerical techniques, such as multigrids and genetic computing, are explained in a manner that is comprehensible to readers who have had no previous contact with these subjects
- Case studies show how the numerical techniques can be tailored to the specific problems of device modelling
- Includes sections of computer code, written in C++, and written in a simple and transparent way so that the reader can re-write it in his or her own favourite programming language
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“The book covers a wide spectrum of topics that are fundamental for modelling and simulation of semiconductor electron devices … . It is addressed to undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics and electrical engineering as well as researchers who would like to get different perspectives on the subject. … The monograph is self-contained since a standard background in calculus is enough to read it. This is surely a good textbook for Ph.D. students in applied mathematics.” (Vittorio Romano, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011 e)
“This well-written book involves the basic physical theory of semiconductor device modelling and the numerical methods to solve the corresponding equations. … Problems are formulated to improve the skill of the reader … . In order to support the reader, in the implementation of the methods, some simple codes written in C++ are included. … A great advantage of this monograph consists in the presentation of the whole cycle of semiconductor device modelling … .” (Georg Hebermehl, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1252, 2012)
