Properties, Processing and Applications of Gallium Nitride and Related Semi-Conductors

by I. Akasaki, James H. Edgar, Christian Wetzel, et al.

Book Overview

Since the early 1990s when highly efficient gallium nitride blue and ultraviolet LEDs and laser diodes were first demonstrated, the world market for such devices has rapidly expanded. Based on its outstanding properties, including a wide energy band gap, high thermal conductivity, and high electron drift velocity, GaN is uniquely suited for many novel devices including solar-blind UV light detectors, high power microwave transistors, and cold cathode...
