Description
Description: In recent years, the development of powerful epitaxial growth techniques such as molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), ultra-high vacuum chemical vapour deposition (UHVCVD) and other low temperature epitaxy techniques have given rise to a new area of research of bandgap engineering in silicon-based materials. This has paved the way not only for heterojunction bipolar and field effect transistors, but also for other fascinating novel quantum devices. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to silicon heterostructures, making it a valuable reference for postgraduate students, researchers and scientists.
Book readership
Electronics engineers; electrical circuits, devices, systems and manufacturing researchers and engineers; engineering and applied physics
Level
