Compound Semiconductors

Compound Semiconductors: Physics, Technology, and Device Concepts, 1st Edition, presents an overview of compound semiconductor science, preparation methods, and device applications.

The volume establishes core theoretical fundamentals before examining material preparation through bulk crystal growth and thin-layer epitaxy. It explores the physical properties of compound semiconductors alongside practical components, including visible light-emitting diodes, infrared laser diodes, and high-frequency electronic transistors.

Questions at the end of each chapter support course instruction. The work serves upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, as well as practicing engineers and scientists entering the field.
