Defect and Impurity Engineered Semiconductors and Devices

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. Papers are grouped around ten distinct topics covering materials, processing and devices. Topics include: grown-in defects in bulk crystals
grown-in defects in thin films
gettering and related phenomena
hydrogen interaction with semiconductors
defect issues in widegap semiconductors
defect characterization
ion implantation and process-induced defects
defects in devices
interfaces, quantum wells and superlattices
and defect properties, reaction, activation and passivation.
