| Review: |
This book, for chemists, physicists and engineers who are dealing with thin-film deposition, begins with the fundamentals of the chemistry behind chemical deposition (CD). It goes on to give a general overview of the history of CD, the effects of substrate nature and variation, some ‘recipes’ for depositing certain films and descriptions and explanations of these ‘recipes’. The deposition of specific groups of semiconductors (II-VI, PbS and PbSe, other sulphides and selenides, oxides and other semiconductors, ternary semiconductors) is dealt with in detail. Finally, photovoltaic and photoelectronic properties and nanocrystallinity are discussed. |
