The MOCVD Challenge: v. 1 A Survey of GaInAsP-InP for Photonic and Electronic Applications

Developed primarily for researchers and engineers in semiconductor physics and electronics, this text describes the rapidly developing field of the growth, characterization and applications of InP and related III-V semiconductor compounds. Special attention is given to the metal-organic-chemical-vapour deposition (MOCVD) method for growing semiconductor compounds, with detailed descriptions of reactors, starting materials and growth conditions. The various methods of structural, electronic and optical characterization are treated at a level comprehensible to non-specialists. Numerous examples of recent results are presented, many from the author's own work. Manijeh Razeghi was the winner of the Science and Technology, IBM Europe Prize in 1986.
