Diamond: Electronic Properties and Applications
The use of diamond in electronic applications is not a new idea, but limitations in size and control of properties restricted the use of diamond to a few specialised applications. The vapour-phase synthesis of diamond, however, has facilitated serious interest in the development of diamond-based electronic devices. The process allows diamond films to be laid down over large areas. Both intrinsic and doped diamond films have a unique combination of extreme properties for high speed, high power...

The use of diamond in electronic applications is not a new idea, but limitations in size and control of properties restricted the use of diamond to a few specialised applications. The vapour-phase synthesis of diamond, however, has facilitated serious interest in the development of diamond-based electronic devices. The process allows diamond films to be laid down over large areas. Both intrinsic and doped diamond films have a unique combination of extreme properties for high speed, high power and high temperature applications. The eleven chapters in Diamond: Electronic Properties and Applications, written by the world's foremost experts on the subject, give a complete characterisation of the material, in both intrinsic and doped forms, explain how to grow it for electronic applications, how to use the grown material, and a description of both passive and active devices in which it has been used with success. Diamond: Electronic Properties and Applications is a compendium of the available literature on the subject. The book is an invaluable resource for research scientists and device engineers. Booknews With the development of diamond synthesis from the vapor phase, improved understanding of diamond properties and limitations, and improved quality of both intrinsic and doped diamond has come a serious interest in developing diamond-based electronic devices. The literature relevant to diamond properties and electronic device development is summarized here, with exclusion of related materials such as diamond-like carbon and other wide bandgap semiconductors. The volume includes an errata sheet. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
