  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. The development of heterojunction devices is reviewed. Particular attention is given to the 1963 proposal of a heterojunction laser, and to the appreciation of the merits of the lattice-matched (Al,Ga)As system and the achievement of a suitable LPE (liquid phase epitaxy) technology. Consideration is also given to developments involving molecular beam epitaxy, organometallic vapor-phase epitaxy, high electron mobility transistors, and the II-VI blue-green diode laser
