There is no question that the field of solid state electronics,
which essentially began with work at Bell laboratories just after
World War II, has had a profound impact on today's Society. What is
not nearly so widely known is that advances in the art and science
of crystal growth underpin this technology. Single crystals, once
valued only for their beauty, are now found, in one form or another
in most electronic, optoelectronic and numerous optical devices.
These devices, in turn, have permeated almost every home and
village throughout the world. In fact it is hard to imagine what
our electronics industry, much less our entire civilization, would
have been like if crystal growth scientists and engineers were
unable to produce the large, defect free crystals required by
device designers.
This book brings together two sets of related articles describing
advances made in crystal growth science and technology since World
War II. One set is from the proceedings of a Symposium held in
August 2002 to celebrate 50 years of progress in the field of
crystal growth. The second contains articles previously published
in the newsletter of the American Association for Crystal Growth in
a series called "Milestones in Crystal Growth."
The first section of this book contains several articles which
describe some of the early history of crystal growth prior to the
electronics revolution, and upon which modern crystal growth
science and technology is based. This is followed by a special
article by Prof. Sunagawa which provides some insight into how the
successful Japanese crystal growth industry developed. The next
section deals with crystal growth fundamentals including concepts
of solute distribution, interface kinetics, constitutional
supercooling, morphological stability and the growth of dendrites.
The following section describes the growth of crystals from melts
and solutions, while the final part involves thin film growth by
MBE and OMVPE.
These articles were written by some of the most famous theorists
and crystal growers working in the field. They will provide future
research workers with valuable insight into how these pioneering
discoveries were made, and show how their own research and future
devices will be based upon these developments.
