"Silicon Carbide: Materials, Processing and Applications in Electronic Devices" ed. by Moumita Mukherjee

This book prestigiously covers understanding of SiC as a semiconductor material in electronics. Its physical properties make it more promising for highpowered devices than silicon. The volume is devoted to the material and covers methods of epitaxial and bulk growth. Identification and characterization of defects is discussed in detail. The contributions help the reader to develop a deeper understanding of defects by combining theoretical and experimental approaches.
