Summary

It is now routine to design and prepare semiconductor multilayers one atomic layer at a time, with independent control over the doping and composition approaching atomic-scale resolution in each layer. In turn, these multilayers can be patterned with features that are as small as only a few atomic layers in lateral extent. These resulting structures not only have led to new generations of electronic and optoelectronic devices offering superior performance, but also have opened up many new areas of exciting solid state and quantum physics. This book collates the whole of semiconductor science and technology relating to semiconductor multilayers since 1970, and points the way towards the ultimate of materials engineering - the design and preparation of solids atom by atom. Materials, technology, physics, and device issues are covered in detail, making this work ideal for physicists, electronic engineers, and materials scientists alike.
