p-ZnO films have been grown on (0001) sapphire substrates by RF-DC magnetron co-sputtering. The p-ZnO single crystalline thin films of the thickness about 120 nm were grown successfully. The dopant (Aluminum) was sputtered simultaneously from Al metal target by DC sputtering during rf-magnetron sputtering of ZnO at the substrate temperatures of $400^{\circ}C$ and $600^{\circ}C$ respectively. The crystallinity and optical properties of as-grown P-ZnO films have been characterized.

Step-edge dc SQUID magnetometers have been fabricated on sapphire substrate. Ce$O_{2}$ buffer layer and $YBa_{2}$$Cu_{3}$ $O_{7}$(YBCO) films were deposited in-situ on the low angle (~$35^{\circ}$)steps formed on the substrates. Typical 5-$\mu$m-wide junction has $R_{N}$ of 4 $\Omega$ and $I_{c}$ of 60 $\mu$A with $I_{c}$$R_{N}$ product of 240 $\mu$V at 77 K. According to applied bias current, depth of voltage modulation was changed and maximum voltage was measured 100~300 fT/$\checkmark$ Hz at 100 Hz, and about 1.5 pT/$\checkmark$ Hz at 1 Hz. For ac bias reversal method, field noise was decreased in the 1/f region. The QRS peak of magneto-cardiogram was measured 50 pT in the magnetically shielded room.

Single crystalline ZnO films were successfully grown on R-plane sapphire substrates by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. Epitaxial relationship between the ZnO film and the R-plane sapphire was determined to be $[-1101]Al_2O_3{\parallel}[0001]ZnO,\;[11-20]Al_2O_2{\parallel}[-1100]ZnO$ based on the in-situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction analysis and confirmed again by high-resolution X-ray diffraction measurements. Grown (11-20) ZnO films surface showed mound-like morphology along the <0001>ZnO direction and the RMS roughness was about 4 nm for $2{\mu}m{\times}2{\mu}m$ area.

AlGaN/GaInN 이중이종접합구조(double heterostructure :DH)를 대기압 유기금속기상에 피텍셜(MOVPE)법으로 AIN 와충층을 이용하여 사파이어 기판위에 성장하고, 실온에서의 광여기법에 의한 청색영역의 단면모드 유도방출특성과 편광특성을 조사하였다. 여기광원의 광밀도가 증가함에 따라 청색 영역에서의 유도방출 피크는 낮은 에너지 쪽으로 이동하였고, 유도방출 피크파장은 여기광밀도가 200kW/$cm^{2}$일때 402nm 이었으며, 스펙트럼의 반치폭은 18meV 이었다. 또한 유도방출에 필요한 여기광밀도의 임계치는 130 kW/$cm^{2}$ 이었다. AlGaN/GaInN로부터 방출되는 유도방출 광은 임계치 이상에서 TE-mode로 편광 되었다.

We have implanted on sapphire substrate with various ions and investigated the properties of GaN epilayers grown on implanted sapphire substrate by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Sapphire is typical substrate for GaN epilayers. However, there are many problems such as lattice mismatch and thermal coefficient difference between sapphire substrate and GaN. The ion implanted substrate's surface had decreased internal tree energies during the growth of the GaN epilayer, md the misfit strain was relieved through the formation of an AlN phase on the ions implanted sapphire(0001) substrates. [1] The crystal and optical properties of GaN epilayer grown in ions implanted sapphire(0001) substrate were improved.

The sapphire orientation dependence of the crystallization of ZnO thin films has been studied using real-time synchrotron x-ray scattering. The amorphous ZnO thin films with a 2400-${\AA}$-thick were grown on sapphire(110) and sapphire(001) substrates by radio frequency magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The amorphous ZnO films were crystallization into epitaxial ZnO(002) grains both on the sapphire(110) and on the sapphire(001) substrates. The epitaxial quality, such as mosaic distribution and crystal domain size, of the ZnO grains on the sapphire(110) is high, similar to that of the ZnO grains on the sapphire(001). With increasing the annealing temperature to 600$^{\circ}C$, the mosaic distribution and the crystal domain size of ZnO(002) grains in the film normal direction was improved and decreased, respectively.

ZnO thin films on (001) sapphire substrates have been deposited by pulsed laser deposition(PLD) technique at the oxygen pressure of 350 mTorr. In order to investigate the effect of post-annealing treatment with oxygenn pressure of 350 mTorr on the optical property of ZnO thin films, films have been annealed at various substrate temperatures after deposition. After post-annealing treatment in the oxygen ambient, the optical properties of the ZnO thin films were characterized by PL(Photoluminescence) and structural properties of the ZnO were characterized by XRD, and have investigated structural property and optical property for application of light emission device.

Excimer laser has been used to fabricate superconducting YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$\sub$7-x/(YBCO) thin films on various substrates. An XeCl excimer laser with an wavelength of 308 nm was used to deposit both buffer layer and superconducting thin film on sapphire substrate. The characterizations of the interface between thin film and substrate were performed. The interfacial properties of thin films on buffered sapphire and on bare sapphire were compared. With a 20 nm PrBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$\sub$7-x/(PBCO) buffer layer, no diffusion layer was observed between film and substrate while the diffusion layer with about 30 nm thickness was observed between film and sapphire without buffer layer.

Sapphire substrate was patterned by a selective chemical wet etching technique, and GaN/InGaN structures were grown on this substrate by MOVPE (Metal Organic Vapor Phase Epitaxy). The surface of grown GaN on patterned sapphire substrate (PSS) has good morphology and uniformity. The patterned sapphire substrate LED showed better light output than conventional LED that improvement 50%. We think these results come from enhancement of internal quantum efficiency by decrease of threading dislocation and increase of light extraction efficiency. Also these LED showed more uniform emission distribution in angle than conventional LED.
