Handbook of Diamond Technology

Download or read book Handbook of Diamond Technology written by W.R. Fahrner and published by Trans Tech Publications Ltd. This book was released on 2000-05-01 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of twenty years of experience on the fabrication of active micro-cooling systems, the fabrication of electronic devices (radiation and magnetic sensors, transistors), the fabrication of optical devices (new green LED), and the adaptation of silicon simulation software to diamond. This includes the integration of the current transport models of diamond. The book emphasize the subjects' substrate selection, mechanical and chemical structuring, doping, and metallization. Also included is simulation as a tool to predict the results of the technological steps. Though a state of the art method is far behind in comparison to the silicon and gallium arsenide growth we assume the same state as exists in these technologies, namely that the diamond substrates are commercially available.
