SERIES
From Semiconductors to Transistors
To understand the device that draws the screen, you first need the semiconductor itself. Definitions and crystal structure, band theory and the Fermi level, the PN junction and the diode, and how a transistor works — the opening chapters of a textbook, in nine episodes.
