Energy/environmental issues are of increasing importance these days, and improvement of the efficiency of energy conversion inevitably requires materials to be exposed to high temperatures and high pressures in aggressive environments. The present 80 peer-reviewed papers discuss the future prospects for solving materials issues involving elevated temperatures.

This volume is divided into 3 chapters. The first, focused on Materials and Elaboration Techniques, describes various types of material such as composites, polymers, semiconductors, metals, ceramics, bio-materials, inorganic alloys, textile, porous, crystalline, amorphous and hybrids elaborated by various means such as vapor-phase, liquid-phase, plasma, ion-based and laser-assisted techniques, soft chemistry, self- assembly, bonding, sintering, and including bulk, surface, interface, thin-film and nano-materials. The second chapter, on Characterization Techniques and Properties, covers both physical (optical, structural, electrical, mechanical, magnetic, damage, aging…) and chemical (surface and bulk composition, imaging, impurity, reactivity, catalysis, aging, oxidation, corrosion) aspects. The last chapter, Applications, focuses on subjects such as: (i) environment and energy (renewable energy, storage and energy conversion, transport), (ii) health, biomedical and life science, (iii) electronic devices and systems (micro-nano electronics, power electronics, photonics and optoelectronics, systems, storage and heat management) and (iv) cultural heritage (e.g. archeology).

The papers contained herein cover the most important and timely issues in the field of “Gettering and Defect Engineering in Semiconductor Technology”, ranging from the theoretical analysis of defect problems to practical engineering solutions, with the emphasis on Si-based materials. Apart from the traditional topics of defect and materials engineering, characterization, modeling and simulation, and the co-integration of various material classes, topics such as materials for solar cells and photonics are discussed. Defects in graphene and in nanocrystals and nanowires are also treated, making this a very up-to-date survey of the field.

Description: This special collection covers: 1. the technology of semiconductor-on-insulator structures and devices; 2. the physics of new SOI devices; 3. SOI sensors and MEMS; 4. nanodots, nanowires and nanofilms. The first part covers a wide variety of SemOI-based structures such as ZnO-on-Insulators, a-SiC-on-Si oxide, graphite inner films fabricated by ion implantation, and others. The second part presents new devices based upon impact ionization near to the source junction, the modeling of charge transport in nano-scale SOI MOSFETs, the electrical properties of SOI MOSFETs with LaLuO3 high-k gate dielectric and the study of neutron effects upon the behavior of nanometer-scale SOI devices. The third part considers various types of SOI sensors and MEMS, together with their characteristics and applications. The fourth part describes the fabrication and properties of quantum-dimensional structures such as nanowires and nanodots. This book will therefore be useful to a wide readership.

Silicon ultra-large scale integrated circuits (ULSIs) are now faced with various physical limits to further scaling. Therefore, it is very important to establish the fundamental science and technology required to produce nano-scale complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor devices (Nano-CMOS) having high performance, new functionalities and larger-scale integration. The scope of this book covers: - Nano-scale complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor devices (Nano-CMOS), - Novel functional devices, materials, and nanoprocessing technologies, - Nano-bio physics and technologies for future nano devices, - Variability control technologies and Signal integrity. This makes it a very useful handbook on the subject.
