Angus Rockett

The Materials Science of Semiconductors (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The book reviews the most relevant concepts of semiconductor materials and processing including condensed matter physics, electronic device theory, and materials science. It describes the development of energy bands from atomic orbitals and the effect of atomic chemistry on the semiconductor. Semiconductor alloys are described including issues of miscibility, ordering, and electronic properties. Defects in semiconductors are described with particular emphasis on point and line defects, their sources and effects. A chapter on amorphous semiconductors is included as well as a chapter on organic materials used in optical and switching devices. The book concludes with chapters on general aspects of thin film nucleation and growth, physical vapor deposition and chemical vapor deposition methods. Examples of the application of the concepts in each chapter to specific problems or situations are included, along with recommended readings and homework problems.

Rezensionen

From the reviews: "This textbook on semiconductors for students at advanced undergraduate or graduate level covers the basis of electronic band structures, engineering of alloys, and the effect of defects. Concentrating on semiconductors materials science rather than devices, Rockett also includes discussion of organic electronic materials, amorphous semiconductors, and methods for growth and deposition. Each chapter includes recommended reading suggestions and problems for study." (Materials Today, Vol. 11 (5), May, 2008) "The 12 summarized chapters of The Materials Science of Semiconductors by Rockett ... provide excellent coverage for practicing engineers or students interrelating the underlying materials considerations with semiconductor devices. Each chapter contains diagrams, problems, substantial references, and additional readings; the book also includes an appendix and a dozen tables. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional collections." (S. M. Pilgrim, Choice, Vol. 46 (2), October, 2008)
