This book sets out to explain the development of modern electronic systems
and devices from the viewpoint of the semiconductor materials (germanium,
silicon, gallium arsenide and many others) which made them possible.
It covers the scientific understanding of these materials and its intimate
relationship with their technology and many applications. It began with
Michael Faraday, took off in a big way with the invention of the transistor
at Bell Labs in 1947 and is still burgeoning today. It is a story to match
any artistic or engineering achievement of man and this is the first time
it has been presented in a style suited to the non-specialist. It is written
in a lively, non-mathematical style which brings out the excitement discovery
and the fascinating interplay between the demands of system pull technological
