Author Description

Semiconductor Surface Physics by Robert Hildreth Kingston is a comprehensive book that provides a detailed overview of the physics of semiconductor surfaces. The book covers various aspects of semiconductor surfaces, including their electronic and atomic structures, surface states, and their impact on device performance. The book begins with an introduction to the basic concepts of semiconductor surface physics, such as surface energy, surface reconstruction, and surface diffusion. It then delves into the electronic properties of semiconductor surfaces, discussing topics such as surface band bending, surface states, and surface recombination. The book also covers the atomic structure of semiconductor surfaces, including surface crystallography, surface defects, and surface reconstructions. It further explores the impact of surface physics on device performance, including the effects of surface passivation and surface recombination on device efficiency. The book is intended for graduate students and researchers in the field of semiconductor physics and engineering. It provides a thorough understanding of the fundamental principles of semiconductor surface physics, and is an essential resource for anyone working in this field.Additional Contributors Include P. H. Miller, Jr., D. T. Stephenson, And P. B. Weisz.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
