Handbook of GaN Semiconductor Materials and Devices

<p>This book addresses material growth, device fabrication, device application, and commercialization of energy-efficient white light-emitting diodes (LEDs), laser diodes, and power electronics devices. It begins with an overview on basics of semiconductor materials, physics, growth and characterization techniques, followed by detailed discussion of advantages, drawbacks, design issues, processing, applications, and key challenges for state of the art GaN-based devices. It includes state of the art material synthesis techniques with an overview on growth technologies for emerging bulk or free standing GaN and AlN substrates and their applications in electronics, detection, sensing, optoelectronics and photonics.</p><p><strong>Wengang (Wayne) Bi</strong> is Distinguished Chair Professor and Associate Dean in the College of Information and Electrical Engineering at Hebei University of Technology in Tianjin, China. </p><p><strong>Hao-chung (Henry) Kuo</strong> is Distinguished Professor and Associate Director of the Photonics Center at National Chiao-Tung University, Hsin-Tsu, Taiwan, China.</p><p><strong>Pei-Cheng Ku</strong> is an associate professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA.</p><p><strong>Bo Shen</strong> is the Cheung Kong Professor at Peking University in China. </p> <p><strong>Section I Fundamentals</strong></p><p>1 III-Nitride Materials and Characterization</p><p>Bo Shen, Ning Tang, XinQiang Wang, ZhiZhong Chen, FuJun Xu, XueLin Yang, TongJun Yu, JieJun Wu, ZhiXin Qin, WeiYing Wang, YuXia Feng, and WeiKun Ge</p><p>2 Microstructure and Polarization Properties of III-Nitride Semiconductors</p><p>Fernando A.
