Woodhead Publishing Single Crystals of Electronic Materials: Growth and Properties (Woodhead Publishing Series in Electronic and Optical Materials)

Product Description Single Crystals of Electronic Materials: Growth and Properties is a complete overview of the state-of-the-art growth of bulk semiconductors. It is not only a valuable update on the body of information on crystal growth of well-established electronic materials, such as silicon, III-V, II-VI and IV-VI semiconductors, but also includes chapters on novel semiconductors, such as wide bandgap oxides like ZnO, Ga2, O3, In2, O3, Al2, O3, nitrides (AIN and GaN), and diamond. Each chapter focuses on a specific material, providing a comprehensive overview that includes applications and requirements, thermodynamic properties, schematics of growth methods, and more. Presents the latest research and most comprehensive overview of both standard and novel semiconductors Provides a systematic examination of important electronic materials, including their applications, growth methods, properties, technologies and defect and doping issues Takes a close look at emerging materials, including wide bandgap oxides, nitrides and diamond Review Systematic examination of common and novel semiconductors, including the latest applications, doping and defect issues, growth technologies, and modelling About the Author From 1981 to 2003, Roberto Fornari was at the Institute for Electronic and Magnetic Materials of the Italian National Research Council, and from 2003 to 2013 he was Director of the Leibniz Institute for Crystal Growth (IKZ) and Full Professor at the Institute of Physics of the Humboldt University, Berlin. His research experience includes bulk and epitaxial semiconductors for advanced applications (GaAs, InP, GaN, AlN and InGaN), semiconducting oxides, solar silicon, silicon nano-structures. His current research focuses on gallium oxide and related alloys for power electronics and UV-detection.
