Handbook of Silicon Carbide Materials and Devices [PDF ebook] 

This handbook presents the key properties of silicon carbide (Si C), the power semiconductor for the 21st century. It describes related technologies, reports the rapid developments and achievements in recent years, and discusses the remaining challenging issues in the field. The book consists of 15 chapters, beginning with a chapter by Professor W. J. Choyke, the leading authority in the field, and is divided into four sections. The topics include presolar Si C history, vapor-liquid-solid growth, spectroscopic investigations of 3C-Si C/Si, developments and challenges in the 21st century; CVD principles and techniques, homoepitaxy of 4H-Si C, cubic Si C grown on 4H-Si C, Si C thermal oxidation processes and MOS interface, Raman scattering, NIR luminescent studies, Mueller matrix ellipsometry, Raman microscopy and imaging, 4H-Si C UV photodiodes, radiation detectors, and short wavelength and synchrotron X-ray diffraction. This comprehensive work provides a strong contribution to the engineering, materials, and basic science knowledge of the 21st century, and will be of interest to material growers, designers, engineers, scientists, postgraduate students, and entrepreneurs.
