InAs1-XPX Semiconductor Solid Solutions in Modern Electronics

Semiconductor-based devices with increased reliability, low cost, unusual lightness, small size, and minimal service have become an important part of our daily lives. It is difficult to imagine life without electronic vehicles, TVs, computers, smartphones, medical networks, and global e-commerce. As this book argues, semiconductors are the main “driving force” behind economic strength, national security, and resilience in times of crisis. However, novel types of semiconductors are needed in order to support ever-growing scaling demands today. Developing semiconductors with desired properties, such as tolerance to radiation, for instance, is of crucial importance. InAs-InP solid solutions present an example of such materials used for cutting-edge electronic technologies. Packed with diagrams and accompanying detailed computations, this book provides a comprehensive coverage of InAs1-xPx solid solutions, from the production of single bulk crystals and layers to the thorough study of their properties and to their inexhaustible application potential in electronics.
