本书是为满足国内工科院校材料专业学生了解和掌握电子器件中的材料应用原理和概论而引进出版的。
本书分为两个部分：**部分是基础部分，着重讨论与固体性有关的物理理论和重要概念，还给出基本的导电与电热机制，其中包括趋肤效应和霍尔效应。在这个部分还介绍了一些典型的器件和集成电路的概念，比如霍尔器件，第二部分主要介绍不同种类的电子材料，包括半导体与半导体器件，介电材料和绝缘材料，磁性材料和超导材料及光学材料。
本书的作者S.O.Kasap博士是电子材料领域比较**的专家，他在本书里不仅对材料的物理电学性质的介绍有独到的见解和非常精彩的阐述，而且对材料的基本结构也做了极为详尽的描述。更为可贵的是本书引入大量现代科技*新发展的成果，比如高温超导体、新一代数字芯片技术、高密度磁记录等。这为开拓学生眼界，熟悉相关领域动态，掌握现代工业发展有着极为重要的意义。
