Wide Bandgap Semiconductors: Fundamental Properties and Modern Photonic and Electronic Devices

by Adarsh Sandhu, Akihiko Yoshikawa, Kiyoshi Takahashi

The p-n junction was invented in the ?rst half of the twentieth century and the latter half saw the birth of light emitting diodes: red and yellow/green in the 1960s and yellow in the 1970s. However, theoretical predictions of the improbabilityofsynthesizingp-typewidebandgapsemiconductorscastalong shadow over hopes for devices emitting in the elusive blue part of the elect- magnetic spectrum, which would complete, with red and green, the quest for...
