Appendix III Properties of Semiconductor Materials

A table of properties of semiconductor materials.

The first column lists the semiconductor, the second indicates band structure type and crystal structure. Definitions of symbols: i is indirect; d is direct; D is diamond; Z is zinc blende; W is wurtzite; H is halite (NaCl). Values of mobility are for material of high purity.

Crystals in the wurtzite structure are not described completely by the single lattice constant given here, since the unit cell is not cubic. Several II–VI compounds can be grown in either the zinc blende or wurtzite structures.

Many values quoted here are approximate or uncertain, particularly ...
