The role of stress and diffusion in structure formation in semiconductors

This dissertation addresses two aspects of the theory and simulation of stress-diffusion coupling in semiconductors. The first part is a study of the role of kinetics in the formation of pits in stressed thin films. The second part describes how atomic-scale calculations can be used to extract the t...
