Description: Wide bandgap semiconductors such as SiC, III-V nitrides and related compounds are currently attracting more and more attention due to their very interesting physical properties, which are different from those of conventional semiconductors. Steady improvement of the crystal quality and improved knowledge of the physical properties of these materials are leading to rapid developments in high-power, high-temperature, high-frequency electronics and blue light emitters.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).

Description: 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.

Description: Ever since the invention of the transistor, a fantastic and continual growth in silicon technology has been witnessed; leading to yet more complex functions and higher densities of devices. The current book summarises the key issues of this field.

Among other topics, the outlook for silicon wafer technology and silicon materials engineering in the next millennium is reviewed and new approaches to the production of a 200 GHz silicon-based devices are described. Possible applications of dislocation luminescence in silicon are discussed as well as the hopes for, and limitations of, the Si:Er - based 1.54 mm emitter. Various properties of silicon-based materials and heterojunctions are characterised by using novel and state-of-the-art measurement techniques. Hydrogen- and oxygen-related defects, rare-earth impurities as well as radiation and gettering effects are discussed from various points of view.
