Opis

Over the last 25 years, the performances of semiconductor devices have improved greatly; this book describes the science and technology that have made these advances possible. While mainstream silicon memory and microprocessor chips still work with uniform silicon as the starting point, the whole of both electronic and optical communication relies on multilayer semiconductor structures. The book provides a unified overview of the devices, including the relevant quantum physics and the key breakthroughs in materials science and technology. It is suitable as a text for undergraduates and graduates in physics, materials sciences, or electronics, as well as researchers in the field.

Recenzje

The practical forms of heterojunctions, multilayer structures and other microstructures are treated in depth and the wide range of devices utilising these stuctures are treated in theoretical, technological and applicability terms.
