Synopsis

This book covers a broad spectrum of the silicon-based materials and their device applications. This book provides a broad coverage of the silicon-based materials including different kinds of silicon-related materials, their processing, spectroscopic characterization, physical properties, and device applications.
This two-volume set offers a selection of timely topics on silicon materials namely those that have been extensively used for applications in electronic and photonic technologies. The extensive reference provides broad coverage of silicon-based materials, including different types of silicon-related materials, their processing, spectroscopic characterization, physical properties, and device applications. Fourteen chapters review the state of the art research on silicon-based materials and their applications to devices.
This reference contains a subset of articles published in AP's recently released Handbook of Advanced Electronic and Photonic Materials and Devices ( 2000, ISBN 012-5137451, ten volumes) by Dr. Hari Nalwa. This two-volume work strives to present a highly coherent coverage of silicon-based material uses in the vastly dynamic arena of silicon chip research and technology.

Key Features

* A very special topic presented in a timely manner and in a format

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Many industries around the world are engaged in silicon-based technology
for new millennium because these materials have broad applications in both
electronic and photonic technologies. The present microelectronics
technology is based on silicon materials and they are expected to play more
significant role in next generation technology.
Silicon-Based Materials and Devices presents a highly coherent coverage to this subject
in a single reference and demonstrates how silicon-based
materials play an important role in current electronic and photonic
technologies. The different topics covered in this book include
amorphous silicon dioxide, related issues on reliability and novel
applications, non-crystalline and nanostructured silicon-based alloys,
amorphous silicon carbide films, silicon carbon nitrides, silicon carbide
related materials, kinetics of silicon chemical vapor deposition from
silane and chlorosilane, magnetic properties of spark-processed silicon,
wet-chemical conditioning of silicon, optical and electron spin resonance
properties of point defects in silica, refractive index of silica glasses.
The applications of silicon-based materials in electronic and photonics
have been extensively discussed. The various topics include porous silica
microvativities, polycrystalline silicon-based thin film transistors for
integrated active-matrix liquid-crystal displays, light emission in silicon
and erbium in silicon and silicon-germanium.

This reference should be a valuable resource for scientists, engineers, and
graduate students working in solid state physics, materials science,
chemistry, electrical and electronic engineering, optical engineering,
microelectronics, data storage, information technology and semiconductor
technology.|Many industries around the world are engaged in silicon-based technology
