자외선 검출소자로 응용될 수 있는 우수한 특성을 지진 $Al_xGa_{1-x}N$ 박막을 MOCVD 법으로 성장시킨 후 박막의 구조적인 특성을 조사하였다. 사파이어 기판 위에 성장된 $Al_xGa_{1-x}N$의 물리적인 특성을 평가하기 위해 Synchrotron Radiation XRD를 사용하였다. $Al_xGa_{1-x}N$의 두께가 커질수록 박막의 결정성은 증가하였으며 아래층은 Undoped GaN의 결정성과 성장된 $Al_xGa_{1-x}N$의 결정성이 서로 비례적인 상관관계를 가지고 있음을 알아내었다. Al 조성비는 막질에 크게 영향을 주었으며 조성비가 높아질수록 표면 형상은 매우 나빠졌다.

Bottom-gate tin oxide ($SnO_2$) thin film transistors (TFTs) were fabricated on $N^+$ Si wafers used as gate electrodes. 60-nm-thick $SnO_2$ thin films acting as active layers were sputtered on $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ films. The $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ films deposited on the Si wafers were employed for gate dielectrics. In order to increase the resistivity of the $SnO_2$ thin films, oxygen mixed with argon was introduced into the chamber during the sputtering. The mobility of $SnO_2$ TFTs was measured as a function of the flow ratio of oxygen to argon ($O_2/Ar$). The mobility variation with $O_2/Ar$ was analyzed through studies on crystallinity, oxygen binding state, optical properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) were carried out to observe the crystallinity and oxygen binding state of $SnO_2$ films. The mobility decreased with increasing $O_2/Ar$. It was found that the decrease of the mobility is mainly due to the decrease in the polarizability of $SnO_2$ films.

In this study, high quality (Al,N)-codoped p-type ZnO thin films were obtained by DC magnetron sputtering. The film on buffer layer grown in 80% $N_2$ ambient shows highest hole concentration of $2.93\times10^{17}cm^{-3}$. The films show hole concentration in the range of $1.5\times10^{15}$ to $2.93\times10^{17}cm^{-3}$, resistivity of 131.2 to 2.864 $\Omega$cm, mobility of 3.99 to 31.6 $cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$. The films on Si show easier p-doping in ZnO than those on buffer layer. The film on Si shows the highest quality of optical photoluminescence (PL) characteristics. The donor energy level $(E_d)$ of (Al,N)-codoped ZnO films is about 50 meV and acceptor energy level $(E_a)$ is in the range of 63 to 71 meV. It will help to improve p-type ZnO films.

The AZO thin films were deposited on the corning 1737 glass plate by the RF magnetron sputtering and effects of working pressure and oxygen contents on the electrical properties were investigated. XRD spectra showed a preferred orientation along the c-axis and a minimum FWHM for the 70mTorr. From the surface analysis (AFM), the number of crystal grain of AZO thin film increased as working pressure increased. The film deposited with 70mTorr of working pressure showed n-type semiconductor characteristic having suitable resistivity $-1.59{\times}10^{-2}{\Omega}cm$, carrier concentration $-10.1{\times}10^{19}cm^{-3}$, and mobility $-4.35cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ while other films by 7 mTorr, 20 mTorr of working pressure closed to metallic films. The films including the oxygen represent stoichiometric composition similar to the oxide. The transmittance of the film was over 85% in the visible light range regardless of the changes in working pressure and oxygen contents.

This study has been carried out to determine the optimal process conditions of $AZO:H_2$ thin films for the maximization of the transmittance of a blue GaN light-emitting diode (LED) with a wavelength of 470 nm. The Al-doped zinc oxide $(AZO):H_2$ thin films were deposited on a sapphire substrate by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering system with varying substrate temperatures, working pressures and annealing temperatures temperature, working pressure and annealing imposed on a AZO (2wt% $Al_2O_3$) ceramic target. The effect of these variables was investigated in order to improve the light extraction efficiency of the LED. As a result, the (002)-oriented peak was found in all the $AZO:H_2$ thin films. The lowest resistivity and the best transmittance at a wavelength of 470 nm was found to be $4.774\;{\times}\;10^{-4}\;{\Omega}cm$ and 92% at a substrate temperature of $500^{\circ}C$, working pressure of 7 mTorr and annealing temperature of $400^{\circ}C$. The transmittance of the $AZO:H_2$ thin film for the Blue GaN LED was improved by approximately 13% relative to that of a ITO thin film (T = 79%).

$Al_2O_3$ thin films were deposited on GaN (0001) by remote plasma atomic layer deposition (RPALD) technique using trimethylaluminum (TMA) precursor and oxygen radicals in the temperature range of 25 ~ $500^{\circ}C$. Growth rate per cycle was varied with substrate temperature from 1.8 $\breve{A}$/ cycle at $25^{\circ}C$ to 0.8 $\breve{A}$/cycle at $500^{\circ}C$. The chemical structure of the $Al_2O_3$ thin films was studied using X-ray photo electron spectroscopy (XPS). Excellent electrical properties of $Al_2O_3$/GaN MIS capacitor were grown at $300^{\circ}C$ process temperature.

High quality monocrystalline $\beta$-SiC thin films were grown via two-step process of conversion of the Si(100) surface by reaction with $C_2H_4$ and the subsequent chemical vapor deposition (CVD) at $1360^{\circ}C$ and 1 atm total pressure. Four dopants, B and Al and p-type, and N and P for n-type, were also incorporated into monocrystalline $\beta$-SiC thin films during the CVD growth process. IR and Raman spectroscopies were used to evaluate the quality of the undoped $\beta$-SiC thin films and to investigate the effects of dopants on the structure of the doped $\beta$-SiC thin films. The changes in the shape of IR and Raman spectra of the doped thin films due to dopants were observed. But the XTEM micrographs except for the B-doped and annealed films showed the same density and distribution of stacking faults and dislocations as was seen in the undoped samples, The IR and Raman spectra of the B-doped and annealed films showed the broad and weak bands and one extra peak at the 850 $cm^{-1}$ respectively. The SAD pattern and XTEM micrograph of the B-doped and annealed film provided the evidence for twinning.

휨성 유기박막트랜지스터(organic thin film transistor, OTFT)를 제작하기 위하여 게이트 절연막으로 PVP(poly-4-vinylphenol) 유기막을 이용하여 MIM (metal-insulator-metal) 구조의 캐패시터 소자를 제작하였다. 유기 절연층의 형성은 Al/PES (polyethersulfone) 기판과 ITO/Glass 기판 위에 PVP를 용질로, PGMEA(propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate)를 용매로 사용하였다 또한 열경화성 수지인 poly(melamine-co-(ormaldehyde)를 사용하여 cross-linked PVP 절연막을 합성하여 스핀코팅법으로 소자를 형성하였다. 제작된 소자에 대해 절연막 두께와 기판 종류에 따른 전기적 특성을 조사한 결과 Al/PES 기판을 사용하였을때 누설전류는 1.3 nA로 ITO/glass 기판을 사용했을때의 27.5 nA보다 크게 개선되었다. 또한 제작된 모든 캐패시터 소자의 정전용량은 $1.0{\sim}1.2nF/cm^2$ 범위로 나타났으며 계산값과 매우 유사한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

A stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for $BaAl_2Se_4$ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal electric furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, $BaAl_2Se_4$ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the Hot Wall Epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperatures were $610^{\circ}C$ and $410^{\circ}C$, respectively. The crystalline structure of the single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXD). The carrier density and mobility of $BaAl_2Se_4$ single crystal thin films measured from Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $8.29{\times}10^{-16}cm^{-3}$ and $278cm^2/vs$ at 293 K, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $BaAl_2Se_4$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)=3.4205eV-(4.3112{\times}10^{-4}eV/K)T^2/(T+232 K)$. The crystal field and the spin-orbit splitting energies for the valence band of the $BaAl_2Se_4$ have been estimated to be 249.4 meV and 263.4 meV, respectively, by means of the photocurrent spectra and the Hopfield quasicubic model. These results indicate that the splitting of the ${\Delta}so$ definitely exists in the ${\Gamma}_5$ states of the valence band of the $BaAl_2Se_4/GaAs$ epilayer. The three photocurrent peaks observed at 10 K are ascribed to the $A_1$-, $B_1$-exciton for n =1 and $C_{31}$-exciton peaks for n=31.

Effects of bottom electrode materials (Al, Cu, Ti, and Mo), included in film bulk acoustic resonators (FBARs), on the orientation of piezoelectric AlN thin films and the frequency response characteristic of resonators were investigated. The texture coefficient (TC) for (002) orientation, crystallite size, full width half maximum (FWHM), and surface roughness of deposited AlN films were measured for the various bottom electrodes. The return tosses estimated from the frequency responses of fabricated resonators were also compared. Experimental results showed that the difference of lattice constant and thermal expansion coefficient between the bottom electrode and the AlN film were the most important factors for achieving a high performance resonator.
