Compound Semiconductors 1997, Proceedings of the IEEE Twenty-Fourth INT Symposium on Compound Semiconductors held in San Diego, California, 8-11 September 1997

This text contains the proceedings of the IEEE 24th International Symposium on Compound Semiconductors, held in San Diego, 1997. It should be of interest to researchers in semiconductor physics, optoelectronics, electronics and electrical engineering.

The 24th Symposium attracted over 250 submissions, predominantly on growth and characterization.
Compound semiconductors have become pervasive in applications that are unique and could not be addressed in any other viable manner, such as laser diodes in compact disk players, high brightness LEDs in automotive tail lights, low noise and low power amplifiers in cellular phones, infra-red diodes in remote controls, low noise amplifier front ends in televisions, and the recent high-brightness blue LEDs. Many of the contributions that engendered these novel products were first reported at the International Symposium on Compound Semiconductors. The procceedings of this conferences are an essential reference for all researchers in semiconductor physics, optoelectronics, electronic and electrical engineering, researching the properties and applications of compound materials.
