Dopants and Defects in Semiconductors

Praise for the First Edition The book goes beyond the usual textbook in that it provides more specific examples of real-world defect physics â an easy reading broad introductory overview of the field âMaterials Today â well written with clear lucid explanations â âChemistry World This revised edition provides the most complete up-to-date coverage of the fundamental knowledge of semiconductors including a new chapter that expands on the latest technology and applications of semiconductors. In addition to inclusion of additional chapter problems and worked examples it provides more detail on solid-state lighting (LEDs and laser diodes). The authors have achieved a unified overview of dopants and defects offering a solid foundation for experimental methods and the theory of defects in semiconductors. Matthew D.
