Welcome

Compound semiconductors play an important role in different fields of applications. The definition of compound semiconductors covers a wide range of materials for electronic, optical and electro-optical devices and detectors. Their industrial impact is still very strong. The session is dedicated to a variety of materials with a smaller bandgap for bulk crystals and films. It is covering the technology aspects of crystal growth, structural and electronic defects as well as the characterization and novel applications.
