Book excerpt: GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE SERIES Since its inception in 1966, the series of numbered volumes known as Semiconductors and Semimetals has distinguished itself through the careful selection of well-known authors, editors, and contributors. The "Willardson and Beer" Series, as it is widely known, has succeeded in publishing numerous landmark volumes and chapters. Not only did many of these volumes make an impact at the time of their publication, but they continue to be well-cited years after their original release. Recently, Professor Eicke R. Weber of the University of California at Berkeley joined as a co-editor of the series. Professor Weber, a well-known expert in the field of semiconductor materials, will further contribute to continuing the series' tradition of publishing timely, highly relevant, and long-impacting volumes. Some of the recent volumes, such as Hydrogen in Semiconductors, Imperfections in III/V Materials, Epitaxial Microstructures, High-Speed Heterostructure Devices, Oxygen in Silicon, and others promise indeed that this tradition will be maintained and even expanded. Reflecting the truly interdisciplinary nature of the field that the series covers, the volumes in Semiconductors and Semimetals have been and will continue to be of great interest to physicists, chemists, materials scientists, and device engineers in modern industry. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE VOLUME This volume has contributions on Advanced Characterization Techniques with a focus on defect identification. The combination of beam techniques with electrical and optical characterization has not been discussed elsewhere.

This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The systematic study of defects in semiconductors began in the early fifties. FrQm that time on many questions about the defect structure and properties have been an swered, but many others are still a matter of investigation and discussion. Moreover, during these years new problems arose in connection with the identification and char acterization of defects, their role in determining transport and optical properties of semiconductor materials and devices, as well as from the technology of the ever in creasing scale of integration. This book presents to the reader a view into both basic concepts of defect physics and recent developments of high resolution experimental techniques. The book does not aim at an exhaustive presentation of modern defect physics; rather it gathers a number of topics which represent the present-time research in this field. The volume collects the contributions to the Advanced Research Workshop "Point, Extended and Surface Defects in Semiconductors" held at the Ettore Majo rana Centre at Erice (Italy) from 2 to 7 November 1988, in the framework of the International School of Materials Science and Technology. The workshop has brought together scientists from thirteen countries. Most participants are currently working on defect problems in either silicon submicron technology or in quantum wells and superlattices, where point defects, dislocations, interfaces and surfaces are closely packed together.

This book was released on 2003-01-22 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The precedent book with the title "Structural Analysis of Point Defects in Solids: An introduction to multiple magnetic resonance spectroscopy" ap peared about 10 years ago. Since then a very active development has oc curred both with respect to the experimental methods and the theoretical interpretation of the experimental results. It would therefore not have been sufficient to simply publish a second edition of the precedent book with cor rections and a few additions. Furthermore the application of the multiple magnetic resonance methods has more and more shifted towards materials science and represents one of the important methods of materials analysis. Multiple magnetic resonances are used less now for "fundamental" studies in solid state physics. Therefore a more "pedestrian" access to the meth ods is called for to help the materials scientist to use them or to appreciate results obtained by using these methods. We have kept the two introduc tory chapters on conventional electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of the precedent book which are the base for the multiple resonance methods. The chapter on optical detection of EPR (ODEPR) was supplemented by sections on the structural information one can get from "forbidden" transitions as well as on spatial correlations between defects in the so-called "cross relaxation spectroscopy". High-field ODEPR/ENDOR was also added. The chapter on stationary electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) was supplemented by the method of stochastic END OR developed a few years ago in Paderborn which is now also commercially available.

This book was released on 2021-02-08 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Point defects in semiconductors have been and will continue to be relevant for applications. Shallow defects realize transistors, which power the modern age of information, and in the not-too-distant future, deep-level defects could provide the foundation for a revolution in quantum information processing. Deep-level defects (in particular color centers) are also of interest for other applications such as a single photon emitter, especially one that emits at 1550 nm, which is the optimal frequency for long-range communication via fiber optics. First-principle calculations can predict the energies and optical properties of point defects. I performed extensive convergence tests for magneto-optical properties, such as zero phonon lines, hyperfine coupling parameters, and zero-field splitting for the four different configurations of the divacancy in 4H-SiC. Comparing the converged results with experimental measurements, a clear identification of the different configurations was made. With this approach, I also identified all configurations for the silicon vacancy in 4H-SiC as well as the divacancy and silicon vacancy in 6H-SiC. The same method was further used to identify two additional configurations belonging to the divacancy present in a 3C stacking fault inclusion in 4H-SiC. I extended the calculated properties to include the transition dipole moment which provides the polarization, intensity, and lifetime of the zero phonon lines. When calculating the transition dipole moment, I show that it is crucial to include the self-consistent change of the electronic orbitals in the excited state due to the geometry relaxation. I tested the method on the divacancy in 4H-SiC, further strengthening the previous identification and providing accurate photoluminescence intensities and lifetimes. Finding stable point defects with the right properties for a given application is a challenging task. Due to the vast number of possible point defects present in bulk semiconductor materials, I designed and implemented a collection of automatic workflows to systematically investigate any point defects. This collection is called ADAQ (Automatic Defect Analysis and Qualification) and automates every step of the theoretical process, from creating defects to predicting their properties. Using ADAQ, I screened about 8000 intrinsic point defect clusters in 4H-SiC. This thesis presents an overview of the formation energy and the most relevant optical properties for these single and double point defects. These results show great promise for finding new color centers suitable for various quantum applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Semiconductor science and technology is the art of defect engineering. The theoretical modeling of defects has improved dramatically over the past decade. These tools are now applied to a wide range of materials issues: quantum dots, buckyballs, spintronics, interfaces, amorphous systems, and many others. This volume presents a coherent and detailed description of the field, and brings together leaders in theoretical research. Today's state-of-the-art, as well as tomorrow’s tools, are discussed: the supercell-pseudopotential method, the GW formalism,Quantum Monte Carlo, learn-on-the-fly molecular dynamics, finite-temperature treatments, etc. A wealth of applications are included, from point defects to wafer bonding or the propagation of dislocation.
