This book serves as a comprehensive reference and graduate-level text on Semiconductor Heteroepitaxy —the crystal growth of semiconductor layers on dissimilar substrates for the purpose of making modern semiconductor devices including high-speed transistors, lasers and detectors, digital circuits, photovoltaic cells, solid-state lighting, and sensors. Semiconductor Heteroepitaxy has become increasingly important as an enabling technology for computing, communication, energy, lighting, and control systems. The first edition remains the top book in the field because of its comprehensive treatment and focus on principles. This newest edition includes two entirely new chapters on metamorphic buffers and devices.
