Advanced Silicon & Semiconducting Silicon-Alloy Based Materials & Devices

This edited volume comprises chapters written by leading researchers edited under the supervision of Professor Johan Nijs. The book gives an up-to-date overview of silicon and silicon-alloy-based materials in semiconducting devices. Two separate sections deal with single crystalline silicon and polycrystalline silicon, and each section covers the chemistry and technology of material fabrication, physics and material properties, and device applications. The book will show that silicon-based technology still has a vital role in advanced semiconductor materials devices and applications. Each chapter is extensively referenced, and the book should benefit all scientists who need a firm understanding of the current state of silicon-based technology.
