5. Glossary
Coefficient of thermal expansion; coefficient de dilatation thermique
Measures the relative increase in volume of a semiconductor as temperature is varied.
Conductivité thermique; thermal conductivity
Energy (quantity of heat) transferred per unit area and time under a temperature gradient of 1 K · m -1 .
Croissance homomorphique; homomorphic growth
Growth of epitaxial materials in lattice agreement on the substrate, where the crystalline parameter is identical for all materials.
Croissance pseudomorphique; pseudomorphic growth
Growth in which the epitaxial materials have different crystal parameters, but not too far apart: when growing a layer of mesh-mismatched material...
