Filling a gap for a handbook and reference on recent developments in wafer bonding technology, an author and editor team from microsystems companies and industry-near research organizations presents reliable, first-hand information.

Written with clarity and style in mind, and illustrating the concepts of modern physics and quantum mechanics needed for R&D, this textbook first provides the necessary background before going on to cover condensed matter and semiconductors, and how to develop them.

Organic semiconductors are attracting tremendous attention since they are cheap, easy to process, and capable of being deposited on flexible substrates and bent, while their inorganic competitors, e.g. crystalline silicon, would crack.

Skillfully introducing the basic concepts of nanomaterials and devices fabricated from these nanomaterials, Introduction to Semiconductor Nanomaterials and Devices applies traditional physics concepts to explain new phenomena encountered in cutting-edge research fields, such as plasmon-photon interaction, in nanotechnology and nanoscience.

Suitable for design engineers looking to optimize and reduce the size and cost of embedded system products and increase their reliability and performance, this title covers the significant embedded computing technologies - highlighting their applications in wireless communication and computing power.
