Germanium-Based Technologies

Germanium is a semiconductor material that formed the basis of transistor technology. - the world of technology and integrated circuits in Germany, which has been triggered for deep submarron (sub 45 nm). Germanium-Based technologies: mediumsize in the field of geo-technology, including the latest advances in Geo-technology and semiconductor processing. The contributing authors are international experts with the world-wide recognition and involved in the research in the field.
The book for Geo-optoelectronics, detectors and solar cells. An ideal reference for laboratories and research workers, as well as for engineers in research centers and industries. Both the newcomer and the experts should benefit from this unique book.
