About the Authors:

David Vernon Morgan obtained his BSc and MSc degrees at the University of Wales, his PhD at the University of Cambridge and his DSc(Eng) at the University of Leeds. He held a University of Wales Fellowship at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge (1966-68) and a Harwell Fellowship (1968-70), and until August 1985 was a Reader in Electronic Engineering at the University of Leeds. He is currently Professor of Microelectronics at the University of Wales College of Cardiff. He has been a visiting scientist at Chalk River Nuclear Laboratory, Canada, and visiting Professor at Cornell University, USA. His research interests include the physics and technology of semiconductor materials and devices with particular interest in microwave devices. He is a fellow of the Institute of Physics, a Fellow of the IEE and a Senior Member of the IEEE.

Robin H. Williams obtained his BSc(Hons.) and PhD degrees at the University College of North Wales, Bangor. In 1968 he was appointed to a Lectureship in Physics at the New University of Ulster, Coleraine, and in 1978 was elected Professor of Physics at the same university. In 1984 he was appointed Professor of Physics and Head of Department at University College, Cardiff.

Professor Williams has spent study leave at the Max Planck Institute Stuttgart (1975), at the Xerox laboratory in Palo Alto USA (1979) and as an IBM Visitor in 1980. He is a Chartered Physicist and a Fellow of the Institute of Physics. In 1990 he was elected to the Fellowship of the Royal Society.
