III-V semiconductors, of which gallium arsenide is the best known, have been important for some years and appear set to become much more so in the future. They have principally contributed to two technologies: microwave devices and optoelectronics. Recent advances in the production of thin layers have made possible a whole new range of devices based on multi-quantum wells. The heat treatments used... Read more

Biography
Brian Tuck
"… comprehensive answers to many practical questions, those seeking more detailed treatment are directed to an excellent bibliography. … concise text of outstanding clarity. Because of these rare qualities the book is strongly recommended for inclusion in libraries associated with either academic or industrial institutions where semiconductor technology is taught or practised."
-The Australian Physicist
