This book was released on 1996-07-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evolution of epitaxial structure and morphology has assumed enormous scientific and technological importance in many areas of materials science. From the growth of magnetic multilayers to the fabrication of semiconductor devices, it is generally recognized that an understanding of microstructural development is fundamental to the control of the electronic, magnetic and mechanical properties of thin films. This book from MRS focuses on the structure and morphology of epitaxial systems with a particular emphasis on the time evolution of these properties as growth proceeds. It brings together advances to assess the relative roles of wetting and cohesion, reconstruction, surface and interfacial energy, misfit stress, and defect generation and propagation. It covers a broad mix of work, from basic studies of epitaxial metals and semiconductors to their application in thin-film electronic materials technology. Topics include: growth monitoring and characterization; island-size distributions and kinetic roughening; surfactants, intermixing and alloying; evolution of large-scale structures; self-organized epitaxial structures; strain relaxation; strain relaxation; steps, adatoms and islands and interface roughness and interdiffusion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In years prior, there has been considerable research activity in an exciting class of materials - non-oxide covalent ceramics. These nitrides, carbides, sulfides and related materials have found a wide range of use, from electronics to aerospace/defense, optical sensors and devices, and mechanical/structural applications. In this book, the third in a continuing series, chemists, physicists, ceramists and materials scientists and engineers from around the world come together to share research and highlight recent advances in non-oxide materials. In contrast to its predecessors, the focus of the volume is less on production and fabrication, and more on applications and properties. Topics include: non-oxides for electronics and optoelectronics; preparation of bulk non-oxide ceramics; science of covalent ceramics - bonding, structure and microstructure; fabrication of covalent ceramic thin films; and technology of covalent ceramics - surfaces, composites and processing.
Download or read book Epitaxial Oxide Thin Films II Volume 401 written by James S. Speck and published by . This book was released on 1996-03-29 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our understanding and control of epitaxial oxide heterostructures has progressed along multiple frontiers including magnetic, dielectric, ferroelectric, and superconducting oxide materials. This has resulted in both independent rediscovery and the successful borrowing of ideas from ceramic science, solid-state physics, and semiconductor epitaxy. A new field of materials science has emerged which aims at the use of the intrinsic properties of various oxide materials in single-crystal thin-film form. Exploiting the potential of these materials, however, will only be possible if many fundamental and engineering questions can be answered. This book represents continued progress toward fulfilling that promise. Technical information on epitaxial oxide thin films from industry, academia and government laboratories is presented. Topics include: dielectrics; ferroelectrics; optics; superconductors; magnetics; magnetoresistance.
Download or read book Metastable Phases and Microstructures Volume 400 written by Rüdiger Bormann and published by . This book was released on 1996-07-25 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Materials with metastable structures and microstructures have been used with success to create unusual structural and functional properties and property combinations. Highly nonequilibrium technologies for creating metastable materials have been devised which allow materials to be prepared far away from the thermodynamic equilibrium. Using these methods, materials can now be designed to possess specific properties tailored to fit an application, rather than fitting an application to the properties of available materials. However, as these materials are metastable with respect to structural and compositional changes under temperature, there is great concern for understanding and controlling their limitations. This book features both fundamental as well as applied aspects of the subject by stressing the structure/property relationships, the conditions for stability of these materials, and the requirements for technological applications. In addition to the synthesis, processing, characterization, properties, and applications of such materials, attention is also focused on the modelling of structures, phenomena and processes. Topics include: synthesis and processing; thermodynamic and kinetics; phase transformations and properties and applications.
Download or read book Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Phase Transformations Volume 398 written by James S. Im and published by . This book was released on 1996-09-10 with total page 714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emphasis of this book is on the quantitative analysis of transformation kinetics, integrated with thermodynamics. Solidification is a success story for quantitative kinetics analysis. The work reported concentrates on phase selection under extreme processing - large undercooling or ultrarapid quenching - of the liquid. Theoretical treatments are concerned mainly with the analysis of morphological instabilities during directional solidification at more conventional rates. The coverage of particle-beam effects is distinguished by the materials studied: alkali halides, minerals, semiconductors and metals. The thermodynamics of interfaces are a particular focus, especially in connection with the solid-state formation of amorphous phases. A highlight of the book is the coverage of the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov analysis of overall transformation kinetics. This venerable treatment is revisited and new insights and limitations are explored. Topics include: transformations in undercooled liquids; directional solidification; particle beam-induced transformations; interfaces - thermodynamics and reactions; amorphous materials - structure and transformations; solid-state transformations and ordering and phase separation.

Download or read book Materials Reliability in Microelectronics VI Volume 428 written by William F. Filter and published by . This book was released on 1996-11-18 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MRS books on materials reliability in microelectronics have become the snapshot of progress in this field. Reduced feature size, increased speed, and larger area are all factors contributing to the continual performance and functionality improvements in integrated circuit technology. These same factors place demands on the reliability of the individual components that make up the IC. Achieving increased reliability requires an improved understanding of both thin-film and patterned-feature materials properties and their degradation mechanisms, how materials and processes used to fabricate ICs interact, and how they may be tailored to enable reliability improvements. This book focuses on the physics and materials science of microelectronics reliability problems rather than the traditional statistical, accelerated electrical testing aspects. Studies are grouped into three large sections covering electromigration, gate oxide reliability and mechanical stress behavior. Topics include: historical summary; reliability issues for Cu metallization; characterization of electromigration phenomena; modelling; microstructural evolution and influences; oxide and device reliability; thin oxynitride dielectrics; noncontact diagnostics; stress effects in thin films and interconnects and microbeam X-ray techniques for stress measurements.
