Nitride Semiconductor Devices

Wide band gap nitride semiconductors and devices represent one of the fasted growing fields in RD in order to meet the demand created by the expansion of lighting applications and emerging high voltage switches for e.g. all electric vehicles or distributed power generation systems. This book, written by proofed expert and author Hadis Morkoc, introduces the reader to fundamental issues in order to be able to follow latest technological research. Connecting material and device issues from a practical point of view, the author provides essential knowledge to advanced students, researchers young professionals on fundamentals and operation of light emitters or switching devices for power electronics: A concise overview of nitride semiconductors from the material's properties to device characteristics which complements the acknowledged three volume handbook written by the same author.
