Advanced Gate Stacks for High-Mobility Semiconductors [Paperback]

This book provides a comprehensive monograph on gate stacks in semiconductor technology. It covers the major latest developments and basics and will be useful as a reference work for researchers, engineers and graduate students alike. The reader will get a clear view of what has been done so far, what is the state-of-the-art and which are the main challenges ahead before we come any closer to a viable Ge and III-V MOS technology.

Dr. Dimoulas obtained his Ph.D in Applied Physics from the University of Crete and the Foundation for Research &Technology-Hellas (FORTH), Greece in 1991 for his research on heteroepitaxial strain of III-V semiconductors grown on Si by MBE. He worked in the Microelectronics Research Group of FORTH until 1992. He wasl3,
