This book provides an overview of compound semiconductor materials
and their technology. After presenting a theoretical background, it
describes the relevant material preparation technologies for bulk
and thin-layer epitaxial growth. It then briefly discusses the
electrical, optical, and structural properties of semiconductors,
complemented by a description of the most popular characterization
tools, before more complex hetero- and low-dimensional structures
are discussed. A special chapter is devoted to GaN and related
materials, owing to their huge importance in modern optoelectronic
and electronic devices, on the one hand, and their particular
properties compared to other compound semiconductors, on the other.
In the last part of the book, the physics and functionality of
optoelectronic and electronic device structures (LEDs, laser
diodes, solar cells, field-effect and heterojunction bipolar
transistors) are discussed on the basis of the specific properties
of compound semiconductors presented in the preceding chapters of
the book. Compound semiconductors form the back-bone of all
opto-electronic and electronic devices besides the classical Si
electronics. Currently the most important field is solid state
lighting with highly efficient LEDs emitting visible light. Also
laser diodes of all wavelength ranges between mid-infrared and near
ultraviolet have been the enabler for a huge number of
unprecedented applications like CDs and DVDs for entertainment and
data storage, not to speak about the internet, which would be
impossible without optical data communications with infrared laser
diodes as key elements. This book provides a concise overview over
this class of materials, including the most important technological
aspects for their fabrication and characterisation, also covering
the most relevant devices based on compound semiconductors. It
presents therefore an excellent introduction into this subject not
only for students, but also for engineers and scientist who intend
to put their focus on this field of science.
