Description
This volume reviews the state of the art of thin film diamond, a very promising new semiconductor that may one day rival silicon as the
material of choice for electronics. Diamond has the following important characteristics; it is resistant to radiation damage, chemically
inert and biocompatible and it will become "the material" for bio-electronics, in-vivo applications, radiation detectors and high-frequency
devices.
Thin-Film Diamond is the first book to summarize state of the art of CVD diamond in depth. It covers the most recent results
regarding growth and structural properties, doping and defect characterization, hydrogen in and on diamond as well as surface properties
in general, applications of diamond in electrochemistry, as detectors, and in surface acoustic wave devices.
