Gettering and defect engineering in semiconductor technology : GADEST 2003 : proceedings of the 10th International Autumn Meeting, Seehotel Zeuthen (suburb of Berlin) State of Brandenburg, Germany, September 21-26, 2003

This volume is a collection of papers presented at the 10th International Autumn Meeting on "Gettering and Defect Engineering in Semiconductor Technology - GADEST 2003", which took place from the 21st to the 26th of September 2003 at the Seehotel Zeuthen, in the state of Brandenburg, Germany. It provided a forum for interactions between scientists and engineers engaged in the field of semiconductor defect physics, materials science and technology, to reflect upon aspects of the coming era of conversion from micro-electronics to nano-electronics. In addition, a particular ambition was to strengthen the interactions and exchanges between communities working in the fields of crystalline silicon for electronics and photovoltaics.
