Primers for Semiconductor Physics?

mactom asks: "Hello, I am a physics engineer with a background in lasers (non semiconductor), but during the last years I have slipped into a job in semiconductor technology development. We define the manufacturing technology and how the transistors, diodes and other devices are to be designed and manufactured on the silicon level. First I did lithography only but now I am involved in layout and design of devices and in the whole technology development. After all of this, I've discovered that I have some serious gaps in my semiconductor physics understanding! I need some suggestions for books, tutorials or even seminars (in Europe/Germany) about semiconductor physics. Yes, I have some books already, but I always have the feeling that I miss something important when I do some self studying. So, I need some 'semiconductor for dummies' books or seminars.Any suggestions?"

You can't make up this stuff

Absolutely on the level...
I went to the Amazon URL provided for Mead & Conway in a prior post.
Halfway down the page, it says:
"Customers interested in Introduction to VLSI Systems may also be interested in:

Boy, their artificial intelligence systems are a lot sharper than I imagined!
