商品簡介
An April 2007 symposium explored the deliberate introduction and manipulation of defects and impurities in order to engineer desired properties in semiconductor materials and devices. Ashok (The Pennsylvania State University) presents papers from the symposium. The papers are grouped around distinct topics covering materials, processing, and devices. The papers on grown-in defects in bulk crystals deal with overviews of intrinsic and impurity-related defects, their influence on electrical, optical, and mechanical properties, and the use of impurities to arrest certain types of defects during growth. In the case of epitaxial films, additional issues concerning stoichiometry and defects caused by plasmas and electron/ion irradiation are covered. Defect reaction problems and characterization techniques, defect issues in emergent nanostructures and organic semiconductors, phase and morphological stability of silicides, and ion implantation are also covered.
