Dopants and Defects in Semiconductors

This revised edition continues to provide the most complete coverage of the fundamental knowledge of semiconductors. In addition to inclusion of new chapter problems and worked examples, it delves into solid-state lighting (LEDs and laser diodes), and offers a solid foundation for experimental methods and the theory of defects in semiconductors.

Praise for the First Edition"e;The book goes beyond the usual textbook in that it provides more specific examples of real-world defect physics an easy reading, broad introductory overview of the field"e; Materials Today"e; well written, with clear, lucid explanations "e;Chemistry WorldThis 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.
