Handbook of Semiconductor Technology

Semiconductor technology is the basis of today's microelectronics industry with its many impacts on our modern life, i. e. computer and communication technology. This two-volume handbook covers the basics of semiconductor processing technology, which are as essential for the design of new microelectronic devices as the fundamental physics. Volume 1 covers the structure and properties of semiconductors, with particular emphasis on concepts relevant to semiconductor technology. Volume 2 deals with the enabling materials technology for the electronics industry. World-renowned authors have contributed to this unique treatment of the processing of semiconductors and related technologies. Of interest to physicists and engineers in research and in the electronics industry, this is a valuable reference source and state-of-the-art review by the world's top authors.
