Description: Wide-bandgap semiconductors, such as silicon carbide and group-III nitrides have attracted increasing attention as promising target materials for high-power, high-frequency and high-temperature electronics use, as well as exploitation as short-wavelength light-emitters.

Description: Heat-treatment and thermal annealing are very common processing steps which have been employed during semiconductor manufacturing right from the beginning of integrated circuit technology. In order to minimize undesired diffusion, and other thermal budget-dependent effects, the trend has been to reduce the annealing time sharply by switching from standard furnace batch-processing (involving several hours or even days), to rapid thermal processing involving soaking times of just a few seconds. This transition from thermal equilibrium, to highly non-equilibrium, processing was very challenging and is still a field ripe for further development.

This collection comprises 117 peerreviewed papers invited from over 70 research institutions in more than 25 countries. These papers, written by internationally recognized experts in the field, review the current state-of-the-art and predict future trends in their respective authors’ fields of research. Fundamental aspects, as well as technological problems associated with defects in electronic materials and devices, are addressed

Description: The question of the interrelationship between diffusion and stress is almost as old as the investigation of diffusion itself. Nowadays, the study of various diffusion and solid-state reaction processes in thin films and multilayers is a vital area of research activity in which, inevitably, diffusion-induced or thermal stresses are of primary importance.

Silicon Carbide (SiC), Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Diamond are examples of wide-bandgap semiconductors having chemical, electrical and optical properties which make them very attractive for the fabrication of high-power and high-frequency electronic devices, as well as light-emitters and sensors which have to operate under harsh conditions.

Research and development in the field of nanomaterials - thin films, nanowires, nanocrystals and nanostructured bulk materials - has increased very rapidly during recent years. Especially significant has been research in which the structure is closely controlled at the nanometer level in order to achieve the desired functional properties.
Important discoveries have been made, including quantum dots, confinement effects and super-emission, and the prospects for rapid development in these areas are very promising. The results of much of the basic research have been the basis of an astonishing rate of progress in microelectronics. It is therefore expected that the study and development of nanomaterials will provide a firm foundation for a major increase in the number of advanced technologies and for the development of new optoelectronics and photonic devices.

Description: Because of their many superior properties, including a wide band-gap and high breakdown field, which are different to those of conventional semiconductors such as Si and GaAs, compounds such as SiC, III-Nitrides and related materials are currently attracting increasing attention and are being targeted as possible solutions in a variety of problematic fields of electronic application: including high temperature, high power, radiation-resistant and microwave use.

This volume is a collection of papers presented at the 10th International Autumn Meeting on "Gettering and Defect Engineering in Semiconductor Technology - GADEST 2003," which took place from the 21st to the 26th of September 2003 at the Seehotel Zeuthen, in the state of Brandenburg, Germany. The Seehotel Zeuthen, near Berlin, was an excellent location at which to provide a forum for interactions between scientists and engineers engaged in the field of semiconductor defect physics, materials science and technology; and to reflect upon aspects of the coming era of conversion from micro-electronics to nano-electronics. In addition, a particular ambition was to strengthen the interactions and exchanges between communities working in the fields of crystalline silicon for electronics and photovoltaics.
