What is Introduction about?
Wide-band-gap semiconductors have been a research topic for many decades. Only in the last few years, however, has the promise for technological applications come to be realized; simultaneously we have witnessed an upsurge of experimental and theoretical activity in the field. Semiconductors with wide band gaps exhibit unique electronic and optical properties. Their low intrinsic carrier concentrations and high breakdown voltage allow high-temperature and high-power applications (diamond, Sic,. . .). The short wavelength of band-to-band transitions allows emission in the green, blue, or even UV region of the spectrum (ZnSe, GaN, . . .). In addition, many of these materials have favorable mechanical and thermal characteristics. The Seventh Trieste Semiconductor Symposium took place at a particularly exciting time. Successful p-type doping of ZnSe has recently led to the fabrication of blue-green injection lasers in ZnSe; applications of short-wavelength light-emitting devices range from color displays to optical storage. In Sic, advances in growth techniques for bulk as well as epitaxial material have made possible the commercial production of high-temperature and high-frequency dev
