Under the umbrella of nitride semiconductors and devices, the book treats semiconductor fundamentals, technology and nanotechnology with a clarity and depth not found elsewhere. The book is a combination of graduate level text book with all the necessary basis and derivations involving semiconductor and device physics and engineering. It covers both theory and practice, and the major developments in light-emitting Nitride semiconductors. It includes extensive tabular compilation of properties. The depth and scope of the book and the easily understandable treatment of its subject matter are certain to lift any a-priori cloud present.
