Request a sales quotePower Electronics Device Applications of Diamond Semiconductors presents state-of-the-art research on diamond growth, doping, device processing, theoretical modeling and device performance. The book begins with a comprehensive and close examination of diamond crystal growth from the vapor phase for epitaxial diamond and wafer preparation. It looks at single crystal vapor deposition (CVD) growth sectors and defect control, ultra high purity SC-CVD, SC diamond wafer CVD, heteroepitaxy on Ir/MqO and needle-induced large area growth, also discussing the latest doping and semiconductor characterization methods, fundamental material properties and device physics.
The book concludes with a discussion of circuits and applications, featuring the switching behavior of diamond devices and applications, high frequency and high temperature operation, and potential applications of diamond semiconductors for high voltage devices.
- Includes contributions from today's most respected researchers who present the latest results for diamond growth, doping, device fabrication, theoretical modeling and device performance
- Examines why diamond semiconductors could lead to superior power electronics
- Discusses the main challenges to device realization and the best opportunities for the next generation of power electronics
Materials scientists, electric engineers, and physicists studying wide bandgap semiconductors for power electronic applications

Satoshi Koizumi
Satoshi Koizumi received doctor of engineering (electrical engineering and electronics) at Aoyama Gakuin University (Tokyo, Japan) and joined the diamond research group at National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Tsukuba in 1994. Presently, he works as a principal researcher at NIMS on the topics of semiconducting diamond growth and device applications. He established the n-type diamond (which does not exist in nature) growth technique and has succeeded in deep ultraviolet LED formation by diamond pn junctions for the first time. He has worked on CVD diamond research for more than 25 years and published more than 150 refereed journal papers with about 3000 citations. In 2014, he started a research project of diamond power electronics in the Strategic Innovation Program (SIP) Japan cabinet office.
