Compound Semiconductor Devices provides a comprehensive insight into today's standard technologies, covering the vast range of semiconductor products and their possible applications. The materials covered runs from the basics of conventional semiconductor technology through standard,power and opto semiconductors, to highly complex memories and microcontrollers and the special devices and modules for smartcards, automotive electronics, consumer electronics and telecommunications. Some chapters...
The formation of solids is governed by kinetic processes, which are closely related to the macroscopic behaviour of the resulting materials. With the main focus on ease of understanding, the author begins with the basic processes at the atomic level to illustrate their connections to material properties. Diffusion processes during crystal growth and phase transformations are examined in detail. Since the underlying mathematics are very complex, approximation methods typically used in practice...
