This book provides an overview over compound semiconductor materials and their technology. After presenting some theoretical background, the relevant material preparation technologies for bulk and thin layer epitaxial growth are described. Then it briefly discusses the electrical, optical and structural properties of these semiconductors, complemented by a description of the most popular respective characterization tools before more complex hetero and low-dimensional structures are discussed.

Ferdinand Scholz was born in 1954 in Stuttgart, Germany. After graduating with a diploma in physics in 1981, he obtained a PhD in metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) of GaInAs-InP quantum well structures in 1986. After heading the epitaxial group of the Physical Institute, University of Stuttgart, he got a full professorship at the Institute of Optoelectronics, Ulm University, Germany, in 2003. He has authored or co-authored more than 400 scientific papers in refereed journals.
