This book collects extended notes of invited review talks and short notes of contributions to Nanomeeting '97, the international conference held on 19-23 May 1997 in Minsk, Belarus. Recent progress in the physics of nanostructures, the chemistry of nanostructures, nanotechnology and nanosize devices is illlustrated.
The second International SiGe & Ge: Materials, Processing, and Devices Symposium was part of the 2006 ECS conference held in Cancun, Mexico from October 29-Nov 3, 2006. This meeting provided a forum for reviewing and discussing all materials and device related aspects of SiGe & Ge. The hardcover edition includes a bonus CD-ROM containing the PDF of the entire issue.
"... papers that were presented at the Sixth Symposium on High Purity Silicon held in Phoenix, Arizona at the 198th Meeting of the Electrochemical Society, October 22-27, 2000."--Preface.
This issue discusses the latest developments in the growth, characterization, device processing and applications of high-purity silicon in either bulk or epitaxial form. Information is given on the control and prevention of impurity incorporation, characterization and detection of defects and impurity states. Device and circuit aspects are also covered. Advanced substrates such as SOI, strained Si and germanium-on-insulator are discussed.
This book provides a unique review of various aspects of metallic contamination in Si and Ge-based semiconductors. It discusses all of the important metals including their origin during crystal and/or device manufacturing, their fundamental properties, their characterization techniques and their impact on electrical devices’ performance. Several control and possible gettering approaches are addressed. The book offers a valuable reference guide for all researchers and engineers studying advanced and state-of-the-art micro- and nano-electronic semiconductor devices and circuits. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, it combines perspectives from e.g. material science, defect engineering, device processing, defect and device characterization, and device physics and engineering.
Semiconductors lie at the heart of some of the most important industries and technologies of the twentieth century. The complexity of silicon integrated circuits is increasing considerably because of the continuous dimensional shrinkage to improve efficiency and functionality. This evolution in design rules poses real challenges for the materials scientists and processing engineers. Materials, defects and processing now have to be understood in their totality. World experts discuss, in this volume, the crucial issues facing lithography, ion implication and plasma processing, metallization and insulating layer quality, and crystal growth. Particular emphasis is placed upon silicon, but compound semiconductors and photonic materials are also highlighted. The fundamental concepts of phase stability, interfaces and defects play a key role in understanding these crucial issues. These concepts are reviewed in a crucial fashion.
