Microelectronic Processing: Chemical Engineering Aspects

Although chemical engineering principles are at the heart of solid state process technology, until now no reference volume addressing this relationship was available. This is the first book of its kind to tie fundamental engineering concepts to solid state process technology. Discussing the basic concepts involved—liquid-phase epitaxy, physical and chemical vapor deposition, diffusion and oxidation in silicon, resists in microlithography, etc.—this volume will be particularly useful in chemic…
