Description: Reflecting the increasing blend of fundamental and technological knowledge, this book bridges the macroscopic, mesocopic, and atomic-scale regimes of contacts to semiconductors. The authors present the state of the art in growing, processing, and characterizing electronic junctions. With the shrinking of device dimensions into the submicron scale, features of atom and charge redistribution on a nanometer scale can impact macroscopic device properties.

Hence, a deeper understanding of the interface physics and chemistry coupled with advanced growth and processing techniques are required to design and prepare metal-semiconductor contacts. This book fills this need, providing an up-to-date assessment of the methods for contacts formation, processing and characterization, as well as the latest developments in understanding the basic interface physics and chemistry

. It is directed to microelectronics and optoelectronics industry researchers, designers, prototype builders, and process engineers. Researchers in physics, applied physics, electrical engineering and the materials science will also find this book an essential reference.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
