Description: The aim of this special collection of peer-reviewed papers is to present recent progress in crystal growth, in the characterization and control of material properties, as well as in other basic research issues concerning silicon carbide (SiC) and other wide-bandgap semiconductors such as group-III nitrides and diamond. The latest research results relevant to wafer production processes, device fabrication technologies and device applications are discussed. These included the latest results in the development and commercialization of advanced devices and circuits used for energy saving, high-voltage switching, high-frequency high-power amplification and high-temperature operation. Work on the growth, characterization and device exploitation of epitaxial graphene was also covered. Evolving industrial products and capabilities were also highlighted.

Online since: March 2011

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This volume contains the proceedings of the 8th European Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials (ECSCRM 2010), held in Oslo (Sundvolden Conference Centre), Norway, on August 29th – September 2nd. The editions of ECSCRM have developed over the years and, today, ECSCRM is the leading European conference in the field of ‘SiC and related materials and their applications’. This volume is divided into five chapters ranging from ‘SiC growth’ to ‘Biosystems’ and thus represents a comprehensive coverage of the field.
