This book contains full account of the advances made in the dilute nitrides, providing an excellent starting point for workers entering the field. It gives the reader easier access and better evaluation of future trends, Conveying important results and current ideas. Includes a generous list of references at the end of each chapter, providing a useful reference to the III-V-N based semiconductors research community. The high speed lasers operating at wavelength of 1.3 μm and 1.55 μm are very important light sources in optical communications since the optical fiber used as a transport media of light has dispersion and attenuation minima, respectively, at these wavelengths. These long wavelengths are exclusively made of InP-based material InGaAsP/InP. However, there are several problems with this material system. Therefore, there has been considerable effort for many years to fabricate long wavelength laser structures on other substrates, especially GaAs. The manufacturing costs of GaAs-based components are lower and the processing techniques are well developed. In 1996 a novel quaternary material GaInAsN was proposed which could avoid several problems with the existing technology of long wavelength lasers. In this book, several leaders in the field of dilute nitrides will cover the growth and processing, experimental characterization, theoretical understanding, and device design and fabrication of this recently developed class of semiconductor alloys. They will review their current status of research and development. Dilute Nitrides (III-N-V) Semiconductors: Physics and Technology organises the most current available data, providing a ready source of information on a wide range of topics, making this book essential reading for all post graduate students, researchers and practitioners in the fields of Semiconductors and Optoelectronics Contains full account of the advances made in the dilute nitrides, providing an excellent starting point for workers entering the field Gives the reader easier access and better evaluation of future trends, conveying important results and current ideas Includes a generous list of references at the end of each chapter, providing a useful reference to the III-V-N based semiconductors research community

Since the early developments of the last century, a lot of investigations and works have been devoted to the study of the science and technology of semiconductors. Although silicon and germanium were the pioneering semiconductors, in the last years, the so called III-V semiconductors [(B,Al,Ga,In)(P,As,Sb)] attracted a lot of attention for their interesting properties (high mobility, direct transitions, ...) which yielded to the successful development of high speed electronic devices and light emitting and laser diodes. Current telecom applications are mainly based in these semiconductor devices (mobile phones, VCSELs in fibre optic applications, etc.). But in the last decades, the incorporation of the small and highly electronegative nitrogen atom in the 'old' III-V semiconductors has opened a new and interesting field in semiconductor physics and applications: Nitrides (III-N) and dilute nitrides (III-V-N) are nowadays the main candidates for the development of devices with improved characteristics: laser diodes in the wavelengths of interest for telecom applications, in the visible and UV range, high electron mobility transistors, white LED for automotive, home and airplane illumination with much lower heat dissipation than bulb-based illumination, high temperature applications, ... This book is devoted to a detailed compilation of comprehensive reviews of the main topics under investigation in the field of nitride and dilute nitrides, written by the pioneers and researchers from the leading research labs from all over the world, describing the properties of these semiconductors: From the ab initio theory to the growth (MOCVD, MBE) and characterization (magnetic, electric, structural) of the materials and the devices.

Semiconductor components based on silicon have been used in a wide range of applications for some time now. These elemental semiconductors are now well researched and technologically well developed. In the meantime the focus has switched to a new group of materials: ceramic semiconductors based on nitrides are currently the subject of research due to their optical and electronic characteristics. They open up new industrial possibilities in the field of photosensors, as light sources or as electronic components. This collection of review articles provides a systematic and in-depth overview of the topic, on both a high and current level. It offers information on the physical basics as well as the latest results in a compact yet comprehensive manner. The contributions cover the physical processes involved in manufacture, from semiconductor growth, via their atomic structures and the related characteristics right up to future industrial applications. A highly pertinent book for anyone working in applied materials research or the semiconductor industry.
