Welcome
Silicon is the unchallenged first material for mass applications
in the field of microelectronics and photovoltaics. And Ge and SiGe can
meet special requirements as substrates for III-V semiconductors or
high frequency devices. This session will highlight the latest progress
in technologies for growth of these materials, and in material
properties reached. Contributions should reveal how the increasing
demands regarding performance and production costs of electronic
devices and solar cells set the pace for development of more and more
improved and specialized crystallization technologies.
