The 24th Symposium attracted over 250 submissions, predominantly on growth and characterization. Compound semiconductors have become pervasive in applications that are unique and could not be addressed in any other viable manner, such as laser diodes in compact disk players, high brightness LEDs in automotive tail lights, low noise and low power amplifiers in cellular phones, infra-red diodes in remote controls, low noise amplifier front ends in televisions, and the recent high-brightness blue LEDs. Many of the contributions that engendered these novel products were first reported at the International Symposium on Compound Semiconductors. The procceedings of this conferences are an essential reference for all researchers in semiconductor physics, optoelectronics, electronic and electrical engineering, researching the properties and applications of compound materials.

Compound Semiconductors 1995 focuses on emerging applications for GaAs and other compound semiconductors, such as InP, GaN, GaSb, ZnSe, and SiC, in the electronics and optoelectronics industries. The book presents the research and development work in all aspects of compound semiconductors. It reflects the maturity of GaAs as a semiconductor material and the rapidly increasing pool of research information on many other compound semiconductors. Covering the full breadth of the subject, from growth through processing to devices and integrated circuits, this volume provides researchers in materials science, device physics, condensed matter physics, and electrical and electronic engineering with a comprehensive overview of developments in this well-established research area.
