Gettering and Defect Engineering in Semiconductor Technology XIV

Edited by: W. Jantsch and F. Schäffler

Online since: August 2011

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