Electronic Material Science & Surfaces, Interfaces, And Thin Films For Microelectronics Set

Materials Science is predicated on the understanding of why materials behave in the way that they do. This set, consisting of Surfaces, Interfaces, and Films for Microelectronics and Electronic Materials Science by Eugene Irene introduces the reader to the field of materials science, providing extensive coverage of surfaces, interfaces and film fundamentals for microelectronics, as well as the physics and chemistry of microelectronics processing. Such information is designed to provide a basis for the understanding of existing microelectronic applications as well as to inform the design of new ones. Written by an expert with more than 25 years teaching experience in this field, this readily accessible set is appropriate as a primary text for undergraduate and graduate students and will also serve as a valuable resource to professionals who require self-study.

Eugene A. Irene is Professor of Chemistry at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.?He received his Ph.D. in Solid State and Physical Chemistry?from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1972, and worked for IBM for 10 years in the Thomas J. Watson Research Center.?Professor Irene's?research focuses on reactions at semiconductor surfaces that lead to electronically relevant film-semiconductor interfaces and with the materials and electronic characterization of those films and interfaces; the ultimate aim is to understand the relationships between materials and electronics properties.?Professor Irene has more than 225 publications in the literature and various book chapters?to his credit.?He has been a faculty member at UNC since 1982, and taught materials science of microelectronics and electronics for over 25 years in various capacities.
