Detailed description
The three volumes of this handbook treat the fundamentals, technology and nanotechnology of nitride semiconductors with an extraordinary clarity and depth. They present all the necessary basics of semiconductor and device physics and engineering together with an extensive reference section. The handbook also deals with the properties and processes for thermal, optical (3-, 2-, 1-, 0-dimensional systems), electrical (at low- and high-electric fields, low- and high-magnetic fields for 3- and 2-dimensional systems), magnetism and magnetic properties (in dilute magnetic ion doped compounds) and spin-based device concepts. Volume 3 deals with nitride semiconductor devices and device technology. Among the application areas that feature prominently here are LEDs, lasers (including recording), FETs and HBTs (including novel treatment of fundamentals and hot phonon processes affecting the velocity), detectors and unique issues surrounding solar blind detection. This comprehensive handbook provides all interested researchers and engineers with an accessible treatment of this important class of materials.
