Extended defects in semiconductors : electronic properties, device effects and structures / D.B. Holt, B.G. Yacobi.

By: Holt, D. B [author.].
Contributor(s): Yacobi, B. G [author.].
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2007Description: 1 online resource (xi, 631 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).Content type: text Media type: computer Carrier type: online resourceISBN: 9780511534850 (ebook).Subject(s): Semiconductors -- DefectsAdditional physical formats: Print version: : No titleDDC classification: 621.3815/2 Online resources: Click here to access online
Contents:
1. Semiconducting materials; 2. An introduction to extended defects; 3. Characterization of extended defects in semiconductors; 4. Core structures and mechanical effects of extended defects specific to semiconductors; 5. The electrical, optical and device effects of dislocations and grain boundaries; 6. Point defect materials problems.
Summary: The elucidation of the effects of structurally extended defects on electronic properties of materials is especially important in view of the current advances in electronic device development that involve defect control and engineering at the nanometer level. This book surveys the properties, effects, roles and characterization of extended defects in semiconductors. The basic properties of extended defects (dislocations, stacking faults, grain boundaries, and precipitates) are outlined, and their effect on the electronic properties of semiconductors, their role in semiconductor devices, and techniques for their characterization are discussed. These topics are among the central issues in the investigation and applications of semiconductors and in the operation of semiconductor devices. The authors preface their treatment with an introduction to semiconductor materials and conclude with a chapter on point defect maldistributions. This text is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in materials science and engineering, and for those studying semiconductor physics.
