This volume contains nearly all of the papers presented at the Symposium on "Defects and Qualities of Semiconductors" which was held in Tokyo on May 17-18, 1984, under the sponsorship of the SOCIETY OF NON-TRADITIONAL TECHNOLOGY. The Symposium was organized by the promoting committee of the research project "Quality Developement of Semiconductors by Utilization of Crystal Defects" sponsored by the Science and Technology Agency of Japan. Defect study in semiconductor engineering started originally with seeking methods how to suppress generation of harmful defects during device processing in...

This volume contains papers presented during the US-Japan seminar on "Solid Phase Epitaxy and Interface Kinetics" held in Oiso, Japan, June 20-24, 1983. This seminar was co-sponsored by the National Science Foun dation and Japan Society for the Promotion of Science and co-chaired by Professor S. Furukawa, Tokyo Insitute of Technology, and Professor J. W. Mayer, Cornell University. Extensive topics such as solid phase epitaxy, growth mechanisms and interface kinetics, silicon-on-insulator structures, silicide-on-Si sturctures, novel nanometer and layered devices, and so on were discussed and...
