This book is the second in a series of scientific textbooks
designed to cover advances in selected research fields from a basic
and general viewpoint, so that only limited knowledge is required
to understand the significance of recent developments. Further
assistance for the non-specialist is provided by the summary of
abstracts in Part 2, which includes many of the major papers
published in the research field. Crystal Growth of Semiconductor
Materials has been the subject of numerous books and reviews and
the fundamental principles are now well-established. We are
concerned chiefly with the deposition of atoms onto a suitable
surface - crystal growth - and the generation of faults in the
atomic structure during growth and subsequent cooling to room
temperature - crystal defect structure. In this book I have
attempted to show that whilst the fundamentals of these processes
are relatively simple, the complexities of the interactions
involved and the individuality of different materials systems and
growth processes have ensured that experimentally verifiable
predictions from scientific principles have met with only limited
success - good crystal growth remains an art. However, recent
advances, which include the reduction of growth temperatures, the
reduction or elimination of reactant transport variables and the
use of better-controlled energy sources to promote specific
reactions, are leading to simplified growth systems.
