Thin Film Diamond Ii

Part II reviews the state of the art of thin film diamond a very promising new semiconductor that may one day rival silicon as the material of choice for electronics. Diamond has the following important characteristics; it is resistant to radiation damage, chemically inert and biocompatible and it will become "the material" for bio-electronics, in-vivo applications, radiation detectors and high-frequency devices. Thin-Film Diamond II is the first book to summarize state of the art of CVD diamond in depth. It covers the most recent results regarding growth and structural properties, doping and defect characterization, hydrogen in and on diamond as well as surface properties in general, applications of diamond in electrochemistry, as detectors, and in surface acoustic wave devices * Accessible by both experts and non-experts in the field of semi-conductors research and technology, each chapter is written in a tutorial format· * Assisting engineers to manufacture devices with optimized electronic properties· * Truly international, this volume contains chapters written by recognized experts representing academic and industrial institutions from Europe, Japan and the US

This work, written by leading international authorities, deals with nucleation growth and processing, characterization and electrical, thermal, optical and mechanical properties of thin film diamond. The final chapters are devoted to the broad range of applications of this material.

This volume brings together some of the key components in what is an exciting scientific and technical challenge: to establish diamond as an engineering material that will revolutionise operations in optics, mechanics and electronics. The collection of papers gives a "snapshot" of a rapidly developing subject. It should attract comments and thoughts from those that have not previously considered thin-film diamond to be a maturing subject, as well as being stimulating to all of them already working in the area.

Emcompasses three major parts of the development of nanocomposite films and coatings: processing and properties; mechanical performance; functional performance; and includes wide application areas ranging from mechanical cutting to solar energy and from electronics to medicine.

Here, leading scientists report on why and how diamond can be optimized for applications in bioelectronic and electronics. They cover such topics as growth techniques, new and conventional doping mechanisms, superconductivity in diamond, and excitonic properties, while application aspects include quantum electronics at room temperature, biosensors as well as diamond nanocantilevers and SAWs. Written in a review style to make the topic accessible for a wider community of scientists working in interdisciplinary fields with backgrounds in physics, chemistry, biology and engineering, this is essential reading for everyone working in environments that involve conventional electronics, biotechnology, quantum computing, quantum cryptography, superconductivity and light emission from highly excited excitonic systems.
