Semiconductor Interfaces: Formation and Properties - Proceedings of the Workshop, Les Houches, France February 24-March 6, 1987 LeLay Guy Paperback

The trend towards miniaturisation of microelectronic devices and the search for exotic new optoelectronic devices based on multilayers confer a crucial role on semiconductor interfaces. This book is a collection of lectures that were given at the International Winter School on Semiconductor Interfaces: Formation and Properties held at the Centre de Physique des Rouches from 24 February to 6 March, 1987. Great advances have recently been achieved in the elaboration of new thin film materials and in the characterization of their interfacial properties, down to the atomic scale, thanks to the development of sophisticated new techniques.

The following topics are treated: (i) Interface formation. The aim of this Winter School was to present a comprehensive review of this field, in particular of the materials and methods, and to formulate recom- mendations for future research. The key aspects
