Properties Of Indium Phosphide

Annotation This collection of 49 papers identifies the significant advances and distills the current knowledge from the literature which has been published on indium phosphate (InP) in the last ten years. The major areas of discussion are the importance on InP properties in devices; mechanical, thermal, piezoelectric and electro-optic properties; electronic transport properties; band structure; optical properties; defects, deep levels and their detection; and processing technologies. Topics include InP-based alloys as optical amplifiers and lasers, electron and hole mobilities in InP, conduction band and valance band offsets at various InP/semiconductor interfaces, defect energy levels in irradiated or implanted InP, and etching of InP. Some of the material is reprinted from published in 1991. Distributed by INSPEC. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
