This volume, number 91 in the Semiconductor and Semimetals series, focuses on defects in semiconductors. Defects in semiconductors help to explain several phenomena, from diffusion to getter, and to draw theories on materials' behavior in response to electrical or mechanical fields.

1. Role of Defects in the Dopant Diffusion in Si

Peter Pichler

2. Electron and Proton Irradiation of Silicon

Arne Nylandsted Larsen and Abdelmadjid Mesli

3. Ion Implantation Defects and Shallow Junctions in SI and GE

Enrico Napolitani and Giuliana Impellizzeri

4. Defective Solid-phase Epitaxial Growth of Si

Nicholas G. Rudawski, Aaron G. Lind and Thomas P. Martin

5. Nanoindentation of Silicon and Germanium

Mangalampalli S. R. N. Kiran, Bianca Haberl, Jodie E. Bradby and James S. Williams

6. Analytical Techniques for Electrically Active Defect Detection

Eddy Simoen, Johan Lauwaert and Henk Vrielinck

7. Surface and Defect States in Semiconductors Investigated by Surface Photovoltage

Daniela Cavalcoli, Beatrice Fraboni and Anna Cavallini

8. Point Defects in ZnO
