Germanium is a semiconductor material that formed the basis for the development of transistor technology. This book aims to provide an in-depth coverage of the field, including various advances in Ge-technology and the fundamentals in material science, device physics and semiconductor processing.

This wide-ranging book summarizes the current knowledge of radiation defects in semiconductors, outlining the shortcomings of present experimental and modelling techniques and giving an outlook on future developments. It also provides information on the application of sensors in nuclear power plants.

The first part of this overview on extended defects in Germanium covers fundamentals, describing crystallographic structure and other physical and electrical properties. The second part treats the extended defects during wafer and device processing.
