Dedication
To the many students I’ve had the privilege of teaching over the years who have
contributed in many ways to the broad field of electrical engineering, and to future
students who will contribute in ways we cannot now imagine.
About the Author
Donald A. Neamen is a professor emeritus in the Department of Electrical and
Computer Engineering at the University of New Mexico where he taught for more than
25 years. He received his Ph.D. degree from the University of New Mexico and then
became an electronics engineer at the Solid State Sciences Laboratory at Hanscom
Air Force Base. In 1976,he joined the faculty in the ECE department at the
University of New Mexico, where he specialized in teaching semiconductor physics
and devices courses and electronic circuits courses. He is still a part-time
instructor in the department. He also just recently taught for a semester at the
University of Michigan–Shanghai Jiao Tong University (UM-SJTU) Joint Institute in
Shanghai. In 1980, Professor Neamen received the Outstanding Teacher Award for the
University of New Mexico. In 1990, and each year from 1994 through 2001, he
received the Faculty Recognition Award, presented by graduating ECE students. He
was also honored with the Teaching Excellence Award in the College of Engineering
in 1994. In addition to his teaching, Professor Neamen served as Associate Chair of
the ECE department for several years and has also worked in industry with Martin
Marietta, Sandia National Laboratories, and Raytheon Company. He has published many
papers and is the author of Semiconductor Physics and Devices: Basic Principles,
third edition and An Introduction to Semiconductor Devices.
