Publisher's Synopsis
This volume documents the latest understanding of many topics of current interest in the science and technology of defects in semiconductors. The investigation of defects in semiconductors is a little different to that in other fields of materials science: in order to observe defects in semiconductors and elucidate their physical nature, a very wide range of tools and techniques has been introduced or created; thanks to the inventive ideas of the researchers. This work clearly reflects the lively state of defect investigation in semiconductors.Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
