Ebook: Heteroepitaxy of Semiconductors: Theory, Growth, and Characterization

This book serves as a comprehensive reference and graduate-level text on semiconductor heteroepitaxy, the crystal growth of semiconductor layers on dissimilar substrates for the purpose of making modern semiconductor devices, including high-speed transistors, lasers and detectors, digital circuits, photovoltaic cells, solid-state lighting, and sensors. The second edition of this book, which remains the top book in the field because of its comprehensive treatment and focus on principles, contains two entirely new chapters on metamorphic buffers and devices.
