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.

Key features

  • 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

Readership

Material scientists and researchers, academic and industry crystal growth experts, academic and industry semiconductor device experts, and physicists
