Defects in semiconductors

The Group has a broad experience on structural defects and their impact on electrical properties of semiconductor materials, among them growth and processing - induced defects, impurities and impurity clusters in silicon, germanium and silicon-germanium alloys as well a group-III nitrides and related compound materials, defect formation and interaction processes during heat treatment, radiation damage and transmutation reactions.
