The Tony Kuphaldt course is good, and The Art of Electronics would suit you. You could do a top-down approach, from the "electronics" at the component level, to semiconductors, to dye design. If you have a background in Physics, then you'll breeze through semiconductor and solid-state physics. It depends what you want to do, but the standard way we went through was chemistry and physics, then some more atomic/nuclear physics and mineral and organic chemistry, then solid state, then circuits, control theory, measure theory, etc. You can look into MIT's EE curriculum on opencourseware, but it's a bit too light.
