SiC materials and devices. Volume 1 /

After many years of research and development, silicon carbide has emerged as one of the most important wide band gap semiconductors. The first commercial SiC devices - power switching Schottky diodes and high temperature MESFETs - are now on the market. This two-volume book gives a comprehensive, up...
