本书是一本很好的英文教科书和参考书，与目前我国大学本科生的同类教材相比，这本书具有以下特点：
（1）全新的体系结构。目前国内相关专业的教学体系是先学理论物理（包括统计物理、量子力学等）、固体物理，再学半导体物理，最后学半导体器件，一般需要用2至3个学期来学完这些课程。这本书次上述课程的有关内容有机地结合在一起，学生只需具有高等数学和大学物理的基础，用1至2个学期时间就可以系统地学习到半导体物理与器件课程提供的内容。
（2）注重概念方法。从内容的整体编排到具体内容的叙述，都体现了突出物理概念、强调基本分析方法的指导思想。本书还采用了大量的插图，帮助读者理解概念。
（3）可读性强，便于自学。全书思路清晰，说理清楚，易于读者理解和掌握。每章的开头都有引言，告诉读者可以从本章学到什么，应该掌握什么；每章中都有例题和读者自测题；每章的最后还有总结、复习提纲和大量习题（其中一些是计算机模拟的练习题）。
（4）内容丰富，覆盖面广。本书除了介绍半导体物理外，对器件的介绍也相当丰富。除了最基本和常用的BJT和MOSFET器件，还详细介绍了半导体光电器件和功率器件。不仅讲述器件的基本原理，而且介绍了器件的发展。每章后面的参考文献更让读者可以了解到自己所需要的知识细节。
