Silicon Carbide and Related Materials-1999 (Materials Science Forum)

Silicon carbide is the semiconductor of choice for new applications including electric power devices, high frequency devices, high temperature devices, and radiation resistant devices. The III-Nitride compound semiconductors are well suited for optoelectronics and are promising materials for high frequency devices. This two-volume set contains written versions of papers presented at the International Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials - 1999 (ICSCRM'99) held October 10-15, 1999, at Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. The growth of this biennial international conference to over 650 participants from 25 countries attests to the rapidly increasing interest in large bandgap semiconductors in both academica and industry. These volumes contain 401 papers, 19 of which were invited.
