About this title

Review

From the reviews of the third edition: “The subject area of solid state engineering is potentially very complex ... . Manijeh Razeghi takes a multi-disciplinary approach to the text to address the requirements for engineers and scientists ... . He commendably uses illustrations and worked examples for the benefit of comprehension; this is an excellent and well-rounded book.” (Times Higher Education, December, 2009)

About the Author

Manijeh Razeghi is a Walter P. Murphy Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Director of the Center for Quantum Devices at Northwestern University. She joined the ECE department in 1991. Prior to that, she was the Head of the Exploratory Materials Lab, Thomson-CSF, Orsay, France, from 1986-1991. She has authored 1000 papers, given more than 500 invited and plenary talks, written 12 book chapters, 8 books, and holds 50 patents. Dr. Razeghi is a Fellow of the International Engineering Consortium, a Life Member and Fellow of the Society of Women Engineers, and a Fellow of the Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineering, the Optical Society of America (OSA), and of the IEEE. She won the IBM Europe Science and Technology Prize, an Achievement Award from the Society of Women Engineers, and many Best Paper Awards. Manijeh Razeghi received her DEA in 1976, the Docteur 3eme Cycle in Solid State Physics in 1977, and the Docteur d'Etat des Sciences Physiques in 1980, all from the Universite de Paris Sud (11), France.  Manijeh Razeghi is one of the leading researchers in the field of optoelectronics. Her areas of expertise are in the growth and characterization techniques for III-V and II-VI semiconductor heterojunction multiple quantum well devices and superlattices for photonic and electronic devices. She was responsible for the design and implementation of epitaxial growth techniques such as metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), VPE, MBE and metalorganic molecular beam epitaxy (MOMBE) as well as optical, electrical, and structural characterization of the semiconductor multilayers. She has developed a number of semiconductors, advanced photonic and electronic devices such as lasers, photodetectors, transistors and which are in turn used in fiber optics communication.
