Gettering and Defect Engineering in Semiconductor Technology X

Edited by: H. Richter and M. Kittler

Online since: September 2003

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
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.

Nitrides and Oxynitrides 2

Edited by: M.J. Pomeroy, S. Hampshire, M.A. Centeno, J.A. Odriozola and Y. Laurent

Online since: December 2001

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This volume is dedicated to the ever-expanding fields of application of nitrides in ceramics, metals, glasses, composites, coatings, sensors, catalysts and electronic thin films. The papers cover all branches of materials science and engineering which concern the role of nitrogen in improving and modifying the properties of materials; particularly those destined for novel applications. All of the papers have been peer-reviewed prior to publication, so that this book will make a very significant contribution to assessing the current state-of-the-art concerning Nitrides and Oxynitrides.

Gettering and Defect Engineering in Semiconductor Technology IX

Edited by: V. Raineri, F. Priolo, M. Kittler and H. Richter

Online since: November 2001

Description: Gettering and Defect Engineering in Semiconductor Technology are discussed here,with particular emphasis being placed on device applications. Fundamental aspects,as well as technological problems which are associated with defects in electronic materials and devices, are addressed.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The topics in this volume were selected on the basis that single-crystal Si, and Si-based, semiconductors will dominate microelectronics until far into the 21st century. The main reason for the overwhelming success of silicon technology is economic: the production cost per area increases by a factor of 5, or even 10, on going from 200 mm Si wafers to compound semiconductors or other substrate materials.

High Nitrogen Steels

Edited by: H. Hänninen, S. Hertzman, J. Romu

Online since: October 1999

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
High-nitrogen steels (HNS) are finding increased application in energy production, transportation, pulp and paper, oil and gas and chemical process industries, due to their outstanding mechanical properties as well as their corrosion/oxidation and wear resistance. The aim of this conference was to bring together experts from end-users (engineering and manufacturing companies), and participants from steel producers and research organizations, in order to exchange experience, scientific data and technical information regarding high-nitrogen steels.

Recycling the Resource

Authors: J. Staudenmann, A. Schönborn, C. Etnier

Online since: July 1996

Description: This book focuses on treatment approaches that include a recycling loop for the water, nutrients, energy, and other resources in wastewater. The preliminary indications are that decentralized, re-circulating systems for wastewater treatment can be significantly cheaper than the building and maintaining of conventional systems.
