Basic semiconductor theory for beginners

Hi Folks,

taking advantage of the Covid lock-down, I have been sorting out our loft and came across my old University notes, amongst which I found a small booklet published by Mullard in 1970 that introduces the basic theory of semiconductors. The document may be a bit old, but the basics are still the same.

Since we get a number of newcomers to the forum, I thought it might be useful to explain the fundamentals and the terms and specifications that appear on transistor datasheet.

I have scanned the document in in several sections due to upload file size limitations and within each zip file is a pdf.

Regards

Mike
