Book Description

ISBN-10: 0852969538 | ISBN-13: 978-0852969533 | Publication Date: 1999

Based on its outstanding properties, including a wide energy band gap, high thermal conductivity, and high electron drift velocity, GaN is uniquely suited for many novel devices including solar-blind UV light detectors, high power microwave transistors, and cold cathode electron emitters. This excellent reference covers the basic physical and chemical properties, surveys existing processing technology, and presents summaries of the current state-of-the-art of devices.

This review is from: Properties, Processing and Applications of Gallium Nitride and Related Semiconductors (E M I S Datareviews Series) (Hardcover)

This book is a great place to learn the basics of Gallium Nitride and related semiconductors. I have been looking around for awhile for such a book and I thought I would never find such a book! Until now! Being in the academic field, it can be difficult to find such specialized books that cover highly specialized topics such as Gallium Nitride. If you have a basic semiconductors and devices background, you will definitely learn a lot from this book.
