Infos

Almost all the semiconductors of practical interest are the
group-IV, III-V and II-VI semiconductors and the range of technical
applications of such semiconductors is extremely wide.

The purpose of this book is twofold:

* to discuss the key properties of the group-IV, III-V and II-VI
semiconductors

* to systemize these properties from a solid-state physics
aspect

The majority of the text is devoted to the description of the
lattice structural, thermal, elastic, lattice dynamic, electronic
energy-band structural, optical and carrier transport properties of
these semiconductors. Some corrective effects and related
properties, such as piezoelectric, elastooptic and electrooptic
properties, are also discussed.

The book contains convenient tables summarizing the various
material parameters and the definitions of important semiconductor
properties. In addition, graphs are included in order to make the
information more quantitative and intuitive.

The book is intended not only for semiconductor device engineers,
but also physicists and physical chemists, and particularly
students specializing in the fields of semiconductor synthesis,
crystal growth, semiconductor device physics and technology.
