Abstract
Renaissance and progress in crystal growth and achievement of conductivity control of group III nitride semiconductors in the past quarter century are reviewed as the groundwork for recently developed high-performance blue an d green light emitting diodes, laser diodes and transistors based on nitrid es. Quite recent advance in crystal growth is also reported. (C) 2000 Elsev ier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
