Gesi Strained Layers and Their Applications

This volume presents key papers published in recent years dealing with silicon-germanium strained layers and their applications.Papers are presented in three groups, dealing with growth and mechanical properties of strained layers, electronic and optical properties, and applications, notably in novel diode and transistor designs and high performance optical detectors. The collected papers will be an ideal source for new researchers who need quick and easy access to an authoritative selection of high quality papers. An important aspect of the selection is the cross-disciplinary nature of the papers, presenting material from electronic engineers as well as from physicists and materials scientists. An extensive bibliography gives details of a further 250 papers on the subject.Stoneham, A. M. is the author of 'Gesi Strained Layers and Their Applications' with ISBN 9780750300247 and ISBN 0750300248.
