Understanding Semiconductors: A Technical Guide for Non-Technical People

Apresenta de forma simples o que são semicondutores, porque eles são tão importantes e o que podemos esperar deles no futuro.

The problem with most technical subjects is no matter how intelligent/logical/rational you are, as someone who doesn't know the subject, you lack the foundations of basic understanding or even vocabulary to begin to understand a topic. This book does a fantastic job of nullifying that model. The logical progression the book goes through is easy to follow, the book builds upon itself while still making each section and chapter discrete, and the jargon is clearly spelled out (and frankly not over-used for the sake of it) in a way that makes even the most complicated of subject matter not only easy to understand but also quite enjoyable to learn. Would strongly recommend this book, even to those who only have a tangential interest or intersection with semiconductors (which should be everyone, given how important and integral they are, but I digress)

Not what I expected.It's more like a really basic introduction to traders who have something to do with semiconductors.

A great journey through knowledge for curious people. This book changed my perspective about what is affecting us as humans in modern times, and gave me an understanding about what technology is.Buy it, read it, enjoy it and see our world from a different lens.

This is a good book, well written and contains a lot of good information. So, for someone experienced in the industry this provides a fairly comprehensive overview in many diverse aspects of semiconductors. For someone not on the field it seems there are too many details that could be confusing.
