A comprehensive guide to current techniques, applications, and trends in InP-based technologies. Introducing one of the hottest technologies in the semiconductor industry, this collection of articles by international leading experts covers the state of the art of indium phosphide (InP)-based materials and devices. From current industry practices to cutting-edge developments to promising research trends, each chapter describes a particular aspect of the technology, giving scientists and engineers the necessary information, including physical principles and technical know-how, to design, apply, and troubleshoot these high-performance, low-cost components for diverse systems-TDM and WDM optical systems or microwave and millimeter-wave systems. The advantages and challenges still to overcome of InP-based semiconductors as compared with the more mature GaAs technology are also thoroughly reviewed. Presented in an easy-to-understand tutorial style, with topics cross-referenced between chapters, InP-Based Materials and Devices features more than 1,500 references as well as 365 figures and tables. Key topics include: * Basic materials physics involved in a wide range of InP-based compounds. * Growth of high-purity bulk and heterostructure epitaxy, including MOCVD, MBE, and GS-MBE. * Hetero-interface control and dry process techniques for device fabrication. * High-performance heterojunction-FETs and HEMTs as well as HBTs for high-speed IC and MMIC applications. * Lasers, amplifiers, and modulators as well as photodiodes and receivers for high-speed and WDM networks. * Optoelectronic integration and packing for functional, low-cost modules.

InP is a key semiconductor for the production of optoelectronic and photonic devices. Its related compounds, such as InGaAsP alloy, have been realized as very important materials for communication in the 1.3 and 1.55 micron spectral regions. Furthermore, the applications on InP and related compounds have extended to other areas that include laser diodes, light emitting diodes, photodetectors, waveguides, photocathodes, solar cells, and many other applications. The topics presented in this book have been chosen to achieve a balance between the properties of bulk materials, doping, characterization, applications, and devices. This unique volume, featuring chapters written by experts in the field, provides a good starting point for those who are new to the subject and contains detailed results and in depth discussions for those who are experts in the field.

Semiconductors are at the heart of modern living. Almost everything we do, be it work, travel, communication, or entertainment, all depend on some feature of semiconductor technology. Comprehensive Semiconductor Science and Technology, Six Volume Set captures the breadth of this important field, and presents it in a single source to the large audience who study, make, and exploit semiconductors. Previous attempts at this achievement have been abbreviated, and have omitted important topics. Written and Edited by a truly international team of experts, this work delivers an objective yet cohesive global review of the semiconductor world. The work is divided into three sections. The first section is concerned with the fundamental physics of semiconductors, showing how the electronic features and the lattice dynamics change drastically when systems vary from bulk to a low-dimensional structure and further to a nanometer size. Throughout this section there is an emphasis on the full understanding of the underlying physics. The second section deals largely with the transformation of the conceptual framework of solid state physics into devices and systems which require the growth of extremely high purity, nearly defect-free bulk and epitaxial materials. The last section is devoted to exploitation of the knowledge described in the previous sections to highlight the spectrum of devices we see all around us. Provides a comprehensive global picture of the semiconductor world Each of the work's three sections presents a complete description of one aspect of the whole Written and Edited by a truly international team of experts
