The subject matter of thin-films - which play a key role in microelectronics - divides naturally into two headings: the processing / structure relationship, and the structure / properties relationship.
Part II of 'Materials Science in Microelectronics' focuses on the latter of these relationships, examining the effect of structure on the following:
- Electrical properties
- Magnetic properties
- Optical properties
- Mechanical properties
- Mass transport properties
- Interface and junction properties
- Defects and properties
