Silicon Carbide and Related Materials - 1999
Silicon carbide is the semiconductor of choice for new applications including electric power devices, high frequency devices, high temperature devices, and radiation resistant devices. The III-Nitride compound semiconductors are well suited for optoelectronics and are promising materials for high frequency devices. This two-volume set contains written versions of papers presented at the International Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials – 1999 (ICSCRM’99), held October 10-15, 1999, at Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. -
