Diffusion in the Chalcogenides of Zn, Cd And Pb

  • Chapter
Atomic Diffusion in Semiconductors

Abstract

The chalcogenides of Zn, Cd and Pb comprise a group of binary semiconducting compounds that have been the subject of many fundamental investigations and device applications. Until recent years, property studies and applications of crystals of these compounds have been made with relatively little regard to the preparative history of the crystals. Recently, however, there have been a number of careful studies showing the relationship between the crystal preparation, the point defect structure and the properties of these semiconductors.
