Produktbeschreibung

Electronic materials is a truly interdisciplinary subject that encompasses a number of traditional disciplines such as materials science, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, physics and chemistry. This unique handbook provides broad coverage of a wide range of electronic and photonic materials, starting from fundamentals and building up to advanced topics and applications. Its wide coverage, with clear illustrations and applications and its chapter sequencing and logical flow, make this a very useful and 'useable' handbook. Each chapter has been prepared either by expert researchers or instructors who have been teaching the subject at a university or in corporate laboratories. Unlike other handbooks that concentrate on a narrow field and have chapters that start at an advanced level, the present handbook starts at a senior-undergraduate level and builds up the subject matter in easy steps and in a logical flow. Wherever possible, the sections arelogically sequenced to allow those who need a quick overview of a particular topic immediate access to it. Additional valuable features include the practical applications used as examples, details on experimental techniques, useful tables that summarize equations, and, most importantly, properties of various materials. Each chapter is full of clear color illustrations that convey the concepts and make the subject matter enjoyable to read and understand. An extensive glossary aids readers from adjacent fields. The Handbook constitutes an essential reference for today's electrical engineers, materials scientists and physicists.

Inhaltsangabe

Each chapter has a concise summary that provides a general overview of the subject in the chapter in a clear language. The chapters begin at fundamentals and build up towards advanced concepts and applications. Emphasis is on physical concepts rather than extensive mathematical derivations. Each chapter is full of clear color illustrations that convey the concepts and make the subject matter enjoyable to read and understand. Examples in the chapters have practical applications. Chapters also have numerous extremely useful tables that summarize equations, experimental techniques, and most importantly, properties of various materials. The chapters have been divided into five parts. Each part has chapters that form a coherent treatment of a given area.

Chap. 1 Introduction: Perspectives on Electronic, Optoelectronic, and Photonic Materials

Part A: Fundamental Electronic, Optical, and Magnetic Properties

Part A contains chapters starting from basic concepts and build up to up-to-date knowledge in a logical easy to follow sequence. Part A would be equivalent to a graduate level treatise that starts from basic structural properties to go onto electrical, dielectric, optical, and magnetic properties. Each chapter starts by assuming someone who has completed a degree in physics, chemistry, engineering, or materials science.

Chap. 2 Electrical Conduction in Metals and Semiconductors.- Chap. 3 Optical Properties: Fundamentals and Characterization.- Chap. 4 Magnetic Properties.- Chap. 5 Defects in Monocrystalline Silicon.- Chap. 6 Diffusion in Semiconductors.- Chap. 7 Photoconductivity in Materials Research.- Chap. 8 Electronic Properties of Semiconductor Interfaces.- Chap. 9 Description of Charge Transport in Disordered Materials.- Chap. 10 Dielectric Response -- An Overview.- Chap. 11 Ionic Conduction and Applications

Part B: Growth and Characterization

Part B provides a clear overview of bulk and single-crystal growth, growth techniques (epitaxial crystal growth: LPE, MOVPE, MBE), and the structural, chemical, electrical and thermal characterization of materials. Silicon and II - VI compounds and semiconductors are especially emphasized.

Chap. 12 Bulk Crystal Growth.- Chap. 13 Single Crystal Silicon: Growth and Properties.- Chap. 14 Epitaxial Crystal Growth: LPE, MOVPE, MBE.- Chap. 15 II - VI Compounds: Growth.- Chap. 16 Wide Bandgap II - VI Semiconductors: Growth and Properties.- Chap. 17 Structural Characterization.- Chap. 18 Chemical Analysis.- Chap. 19 Thermal Properties and Characterization.- Chap. 20 Electrical Characterization of Semiconductor Materials and Devices

Part C: Materials for Electronics

Part C covers specific materials such as crystalline Si, microcrystalline Si, GaAs, high-temperature semiconductors, amorphous semiconductors, ferroelectric materials, and thin and thick films.

Chap. 21 Single Crystal Silicon.- Chap. 22 Silicon/Germanium.- Chap. 23 Gallium Arsenide.- Chap. 24 High Temperature Electronic Materials: Silicon Carbide and Diamond.- Chap. 25 Amorphous Semiconductors.- Chap. 26 Amorphous and Microcrystalline Silicon - Preparation and Properties for Devices.- Chap. 27 Ferroelectric Materials.- Chap. 28 Dielectric Materials for Microelectronics.- Chap. 29 Thin Films.- Chap. 30 Thick Films

Part D: Materials for Optoelectronics and Photonics

Part D examines materials that have applications in optoelectronics and photonics. It covers some of the state-of-the-art developments in optoelectronic materials, and covers III - V Ternaries, III-Nitrides, II - VI compounds, quantum wells, photonic crystals, glasses for photonics, nonlinear photonic glasses, nonlinear organic, and luminescent materials.

Chap. 31 III - V Ternary and Quaternary Compounds.- Chap. 32 Group III Nitrides.- Chap. 33 Electron Transport Within the III - V Nitride Semiconductors, GaN, AlN, and InN: A Monte Carlo Analysis.- Chap. 34 Cd-based wide bandgap compounds.- Chap. 35 Doping Aspects of Zn-Based Wide Band

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"Kasap and Capper put together a broad coverage of electronic and photonic materials, starting from fundamentals and building up to advanced topics and applications. Additional topics include practical applications, details on experimental techniques, tables of equations, and the properties of materials. The book provides an accessible treatment of the subject matter for graduate students and researchers." (Materials Today, Vol. 10 (1-2), January-February, 2007)

"This book is an invaluable source of systematized knowledge regarding the materials used in electronics and photonics. ... The book has 900 figures and 150 tables to support the information it supplies in a straightforward manner. ... the handbook is a useful tool for anybody working in electronics and photonics. The entire handbook is also available on a CD that is included with the print publication." (Mircea Dragoman, Optics and Photonics News, April, 2007)
