Product Description: This book focuses on the deliberate introduction and manipulation of defects and impurities in order to engineer desired properties in semiconductor materials and devices. In view of current exciting developments in wide-bandgap semiconductors like GaN for blue light emission, as well as high-speed and high-temperature electronics, dopant and defect issues relevant to these materials are addressed...read more

Product Description: The evolution of semiconductor devices of progressively higher performance has generally followed improved material quality with ever fewer defect concentrations. However, a shift in focus over the years has brought the realization that complete elimination of defects in semiconductors during growth and processing is neither desirable nor necessary...read more

Product Description: Defect engineering has come of age. That theme is well documented by both the academic and industrial research communities in this book from MRS. Going beyond defect control, the book explores the engineering of desired properties in semiconductor materials and devices through the deliberate introduction and manipulation of defects and impurities...read more
