Crystal Growth Technology

Semiconductors and dielectrics are two essential materials found in cell phones and computers, for example, and both are manufactured by growing crystals.<br> Edited by the organizers of the International Workshop on Crystal Growth Technology, this ready reference is essential reading for materials scientists, chemists, physicists, computer hardware manufacturers, engineers, and those working in the chemical and semiconductor industries. They have assembled an international team of experts who present the current challenges, latest methods and new applications for producing these materials necessary for the electronics industry using bulk crystal growth technology.<br> From the contents:<br> * General aspects of crystal growth technology<br> * Compound semiconductors<br> * Halides and oxides<br> * Crystal growth for sustaining energy<br> * Crystal machining<br>
