Silicon Carbide (SiC) and its polytypes, used primarily for grinding and high temperature ceramics, have been a part of human civilization for a long time. The inherent ability of SiC devices to operate with higher efficiency and lower environmental footprint than silicon-based devices at high temperatures and under high voltages pushes SiC on the verge of becoming the material of choice for high power electronics and optoelectronics. What is more important, SiC is emerging to become a template for graphene fabrication, and a material for the next generation of sub-32nm semiconductor devices. It is thus increasingly clear that SiC electronic systems will dominate the new energy and transport technologies of the 21st century. In 21 chapters of the book, special emphasis has been placed on the materials aspects and developments thereof. To that end, about 70% of the book addresses the theory, crystal growth, defects, surface and interface properties, characterization, and processing issues pertaining to SiC. The remaining 30% of the book covers the electronic device aspects of this material. Overall, this book will be valuable as a reference for SiC researchers for a few years to come. This book prestigiously covers our current understanding of SiC as a semiconductor material in electronics. The primary target for the book includes students, researchers, material and chemical engineers, semiconductor manufacturers and professionals who are interested in silicon carbide and its continuing progression.

This book is planned to publish with an objective to provide a state-of-the-art referencebook in the areas of advanced microwave, MM-Wave and THz devices, antennas andsystemtechnologies for microwave communication engineers, Scientists and post-graduatestudents of electrical and electronics engineering, applied physicists. This reference bookis a collection of 30 Chapters characterized in 3 parts: Advanced Microwave and MM-wavedevices, integrated microwave and MM-wave circuits and Antennas and advanced microwavecomputer techniques, focusing on simulation, theories and applications. This book provides acomprehensive overview of the components and devices used in microwave and MM-Wavecircuits, including microwave transmission lines, resonators, filters, ferrite devices, solid state devices, transistor oscillators and amplifiers, directional couplers, microstripeline components,microwave detectors, mixers, converters and harmonic generators, and microwave solid-stateswitches, phase shifters and attenuators. Several applications area also discusses here, likeconsumer, industrial, biomedical, and chemical applications of microwave technology. It alsocovers microwave instrumentation and measurement, thermodynamics, and applications innavigation and radio communication.
