Abstract
Evolving high-speed semiconductor technology requires a more complete understanding of semiconductors on a picosecond time scale. This article discusses ultrafast phenomena that may influence device performance and describes new experimental methods utilizing short optical pulses to investigate materials and device structures.Keywords
