About this title

About the Author

Hadis Morkoc received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Cornell University. From 1978 to 1997 he was with the University of Illinois, then joined the then newly established School of Engineering at the Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA USA. He and his group have been responsible for a number of advancements in GaN and devices based on them. Professor Morkoc has authored several books and numerous book chapters and articles. He serves or has served as a consultant to some 20 major industrial laboratories. He is one of most highly cited authors in the fields of engineering, physics, and material science.

From the Back Cover

Wide band gap nitride semiconductors and devices represent one of the fastest growing fields in R&D, meeting the demand created by the expansion of lighting applications and emerging high voltage switches for e.g. all electric vehicles or distributed power generation systems. This book, written by an expert in the field, introduces the reader to the fundamental issues, thus enabling him/her to follow the latest technological research.
Connecting material and device issues from a practical point of view, the author provides essential knowledge to advanced students, researchers and young professionals on fundamentals and operation of light emitters, RF FETs and switching devices for power electronics. A concise overview of nitride semiconductors from the material's properties through device characteristics, which complements the acknowledged threevolume handbook written by the same author.
