Widlar's Early Treatise on Semiconductors, so large a file to E-mail,
I put it up on my website so you can download it...

Note fig 1.4, the military convention for current flow!


That's not the "military" convention, that's the "physics" convention.

The US military, and a couple of the Heald-class trade schools, taught
electron-flow convention. That messed up a lot of people.

I took physics in college, and EE courses simultaneously, and both
used the conventional current flow sign.
