Subsecond Annealing of Advanced Materials

Download or read book Subsecond Annealing of Advanced Materials written by Wolfgang Skorupa and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-16 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thermal processing of materials ranges from few fem to seconds by Swift Heavy Ion Implantation to about one second using advanced Rapid Thermal Annealing. This book offers after an historical excursus selected contributions on fundamental and applied aspects of thermal processing of classical elemental semiconductors and other advanced materials including nanostructures with novel optoelectronic, magnetic, and superconducting properties. Special emphasis is given on the diffusion and segregation of impurity atoms during thermal treatment. A broad range of examples describes the solid phase and/or liquid phase processing of elemental and compound semiconductors, dielectric composites and organic materials.
