Interest in wide-bandgap semiconductors for high-power/high-temperature electronics remains prominent. For such applications, SiC is by far the most mature semiconductor material. GaN and diamond, however, have also become prime candidates. While diamond has several advantages over the other two materials, producing large single crystals, as well as the inability to achieve n-type doping, have limited device fabrication. For GaN, recent advances in crystal growth and processing capabilities, as well as excellent transport properties, have yielded a great deal of device development, yet thermal conduction remains an issue. SiC has excellent thermal conductivity, high-breakdown voltages, and well-developed substrates and processing techniques. This book deals with a wide range of technical activity in the area of wide-bandgap high-power/high-temperature electronic devices and covers topics including the fabrication and performance of GaN-based and SiC-based devices, as well as issues related to growth, characterization, and processing of wide-bandgap materials. Several summaries of the current status of the field are provided.

This proceedings of the April 2000 symposium deals with formation of electrical junctions in the front-end processing of devices for the approaching end-of-the-roadmap. The 60 papers address 2D dopant characterization, ion implantation and shallow junction technology, group III diffusion and activation, carbon diffusion and activation, group V diffusion and activation, vacancy-type defects, regrown amorphous layers, and structure and properties of point and extended defects. Topics include ultra-shallow junction formation and gate activation in deep-submicron CMOS, low energy implantation of boron with decaborane ions, modeling ramp rate effects on shallow junction formation, clustering equilibrium and deactivation kinetics in As doped silicon, and atomistic modeling of complex silicon processing scenarios. c.

Solid-state chemistry is an interdisciplinary field, and these researchers share the common challenge of understanding, controlling, and predicting the structures and properties of solids at the atomic level. This book provides a forum for the presentation of recent advances in the solid-state chemistry of inorganic materials and the impact of these advances on the development of practical applications. Topics include: crystal chemistry of complex systems; dielectrics, crystal chemistry, glasses and electrical transport; transport properties/metal-insulator systems; magnetism and manganates; new materials - meso/nanoporous materials; micro/meso/ nanoporous materials - inorganic/organic hybrids; synthesis, new methods and new materials; solid-state ionics, battery materials, thermopower and optical materials; solid-state ionics, battery materials and energy storage; and thermopower, themal expansion and optical materials. A highlight is a section dedicated to Professor J.M. Honig in recognition of his many contributions to the discipline of solid-state chemistry and his stewardship of the Journal of Solid-State Chemistry.
