The stochiometric mixture of evaporating materials for the ZnIn$_2$S$_4$ single crystal thin film was prepared from horizontal furnace. To obtain the ZnIn$_2$S$_4$ single crystal thin film, ZnIn$_2$S$_4$ mixed crystal was deposited on throughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) in the Hot Wall Epitaxy(HWE) system. The source and substrate temperature were 610 $^{\circ}C$ and 450 $^{\circ}C$, respectively and the growth rate of the ZnIn$_2$S$_4$ single crystal thin film was about 0.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$/hr. The crystalline structure of ZnIn$_2$S$_4$ single crystal thin film was investigated by photo1uminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction(DCXD) measurement. The carrier density and mobility of ZnIn$_2$S$_4$ single crystal thin film measured from Hall effect by van der Pauw method are 8.51${\times}$10$\^$17/ cm$\^$-3/, 291 $\textrm{cm}^2$/V$.$s at 293 $^{\circ}$K, respectively. From the photocurrent spectrum by illumination of perpendicular light on the c - axis of the ZnIn$_2$S$_4$ single crystal thin film, we have found that the values of spin orbit splitting ΔSo and the crystal field splitting ΔCr were 0.0148 eV and 0.1678 eV at 10 $^{\circ}$K, respectively. From the photoluminescence measurement of ZnIn$_2$S$_4$ single crystal thin film, we observed free excition (E$\_$X/) typically observed only in high quality crystal and neutral donor bound exciton (D$^{\circ}$,X) having very strong peak intensity. The full width at half maximum and binding energy of neutral donor bound excition were 9 meV and 26 meV, respectively. The activation energy of impurity measured by Haynes rule was 130 meV.

The stochiometric $AgGaSe_2$ polycrystalline mixture of evaporating materials for the $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin film was prepared from horizontal furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, $AgGaSe_2$ mixed crystal and semi-insulating GaAs(100) wafer were used as source material and substrate for the Hot Wall Epitaxy (HWE) system, respectively. The source and substrate temperature were fixed at $630^{\circ}C$ and $420^{\circ}C$, respectively. The thickness of grown single crystal thin films is $2.1{\mu}m$. The single crystal thin films were investigated by photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction(DCXD) measurement. The carrier density and mobility of $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films measured from Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $4.89{\times}10^{17}\;cm^{-3},\;129cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ at 293K, respectively. From the photocurrent spectrum by illumination of perpendicular light on the c - axis of the $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin film, we have found that the values of spin orbit splitting ${\Delta}S_o$ and the crystal field splitting ${\Delta}C_r$ were 0.1762 eV and 0.2494 eV at 10 K, respectively. From the photoluminescence measurement of $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin film, we observed free excition $(E_X)$ observable only in high quality crystal and neutral bound exciton $(D^o,X)$ having very strong peak intensity And, the full width at half maximum and binding energy of neutral donor bound excition were 8 meV and 14.1 meV, respectively. By Haynes rule, an activation energy of impurity was 141 meV.

A stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for $CuAlSe_2$ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal electric furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, $CuAlSe_2$ 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 $680^{\circ}C$ 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 $CuAlSe_2$ single crystal thin films measured with Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $9.24{\times}10^{16}\;cm^{-3}$ and $295\;cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ at 293 K, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $CuAlSe_2$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)\;=\;2.8382\;eV\;-\;(8.68{\times}10^{-4}\;eV/K)T^2/(T+155K)$. The crystal field and the spin-orbit splitting energies for the valence band of the $CuAlSe_2$ have been estimated to be 0.2026 eV and 0.2165 eV at 10K, 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 $CuAlSe_2$. The three photocurrent peaks observed at 10K are ascribed to the $A_1-$, $B_1-$, and $C_1$-exciton peaks for n = 1.

나노크기의 반도체 물질은 표면적/부피 비와 그 크기에 의해 광학적, 전기적 특성이 크게 영향을 받는다. 나노크기의 반도체 재료 중 ZnO는 3.37eV의 넓은 에너지 밴드갭을 가지고 있으며, 60meV의 큰 엑시톤(exciton) 결합에너지의 특성을 가지고 있어 UV 영역의 소스로서 가장 활용도가 클것으로 예상된다. 1 차원 ZnO 나노구조는 청색과 자외선 발광소자 및 광전자 소자, 화학적 센서로 활용이 가능하다. whisker, nanowires, norods, nanonail, nanoring 등과 같은 ZnO 나노구조의 형태와 크기는 합성장비와 공정조건에 크게 영향을 받고 서로 다른 광 특성 결과를 나타낸다. ZnO 나노구조의 합성을 위해 다양한 금속 촉매를 이용한 기상-액상-고상(VLS)의 성장 메카니즘이 연구되었다. 그러나 이 방법은 촉매로 사용된 금속이 불순물로 작용하는 결점을 가지고 있다. 최근에는 기판위에 아무런 촉매도 사용하지 않은 ZnO 의 합성에 대해 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 촉매없이 합성된 나노구조의 형태와 성장방향은 초기단계에서 불규칙한 원자배열로 인해 합성상태의 제어 (방향, 형상 등)가 매우 어렵다. MOCVD 장비 금속 촉매를 이용하지 않고도 미량의 Zn 와 $O_2$ 량을 일정하게 조절함으로써 형상 및 방향성을 제어 할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한 본 연구에 사용된 MOCVD 장비의 경우 추가적인 케리어 가스 유입을 통해 나노막대의 aspect ratio 조절이 가능하다. 본 연구는 MOCVD 장비를 이용해 촉매를 사용하지 않고 1 차원 ZnO 나노막대를 합성하였고, 추가적 케리어 가스 유량을 변화시킴으로써 형태 변화 및 발광특성에 관한 영향을 연구하였다.

ZnO는 넓은 밴드갭(3.37eV)과 큰 엑시톤(exciton) 결합에너지(60meV) 를 가지는 II-VI족 산합물 반도체로, 상온에서도 높은 재결합 효율이 기대되는 엑시톤 전이가 가능하여 자발적인 발광특성 및 레이저 발진을 위한 낮은 임계전압을 보여주는 장점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 특성을 이용해, 최근 ZnO 박막을 이용한 LED 및 LD 소자 제작에 대한 연구가 국내외적으로 매우 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 아직까지 p-type ZnO는 전기적 특성 및 재현성 문제를 극복하지 못하고 있기 때문에 ZnO를 이용한 동종접합구조를 이용한 소자제작은 어려움이 따른다. 이런 문제점을 극복하기 위해 최근 p-type 물질을 ZnO와 결정구조 및 특성이 거의 유사한 GaN를 많이 이용하고 있다. 또한 RF 스퍼터링법을 이용해 박막을 성장할 경우 성장조건 및 불순물 도핑 등에 따라 성장되는 n-type ZnO의 전기적 특성 및 밴드갭을 조절할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 RF 스퍼터링법을 이용해 p-type GaN 기판위에 n-type ZnO를 성장한 이종접합구조를 이용해 발광 다이오드를 제작하고 그에 대한 특성 평가를 하였다. 이때 성장시킨 n-type ZnO는 여러 가지 성장 변수 및 불순물 도핑으로 전기전 특성 변화 및 밴드갭 조절을 통해 발광특성 변화에 대해 특성 평가를 하였다.

We demonstrate epitaxial growth of ZnO thin films on 4H-SiC(0001) substrates using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). ZnO and SiC have attracted attention for their special material properties as wide band gap semiconductors. Especially, ZnO could be applied to optoelectronic applications such as light emitting devices and photo detectors due to its direct wide bandgap (Eg) of ~3.37eV and large exciton binding energy of ~60meV. SiC shows a good lattice matching to ZnO compared with other commonly used substrates and in this regard SiC is a good candidate as a substrate for ZnO. In this work, ZnO thin films were grown on 4H-SiC(0001) substrates by PLD using an Nd:YAG laser with a 355nm wavelength. The crystalline properties of the films were evaluated by x-ray diffraction (XRD) $\theta-2\theta$, rocking curve and pole figure measurements using a high-resolution diffractometer. The surface morphology of the films was studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM).

We demonstrated that self-separation FS-GaN (freestanding-GaN) was grown on MELO (maskless epitaxially lateral overgrowth) GaN template by horizontal HVPE (hydride vapor phase epitaxy). Before thick GaN grwoth, MELO GaN template was grown on patterned GaN template by MOCVD (metal organic chemical vapor deposition). The laterally overgrown GaN would consist of a continuous well coalesced layer. The mixed TDD (threading dislocation density) of seed and wing region were $8{\times}10^8cm^{-2}$ and $7{\times}10^7cm^{-2}$, respectively. After thick GaN grown by HVPE, the self-separation between thick GaN and sapphire substrate was generated at seed region. The regions of self-separation for FS-GaN and sapphire were observed by FE-SEM. Moreover, Raman results indicated that the compressive strain of seed and wing regions at FS-GaN substrate were slightly released compared to that of thick GaN grown on conventional GaN template. The optical properties of the FS-GaN substrate were examined by using PL (photoluminescence). The PL exhibited that donor bound exciton and donor acceptor pair were observed at low temperature. The effects on optical and structural properties of FS-GaN substrate have been discussed in detail.

In this study, we fabricated $NO_x$ gas sensor by using multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNT)/zinc oxide(ZnO) composite film. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have good electronic, chemical-stability, and sensitivity characteristics. And zinc oxide (ZnO) is a wide band gap and large exciton binding energy semiconductor. In particular, gas sensors require characteristics such as high speed, sensitivity, and selectivity. The fabricated gas sensor was used to detect $NO_x$ gas for different values of the $NO_x$ gas concentrations. The gas sensor that absorbed$NO_x$ gas molecules showed a increasing in resistance. The sensitivity of the gas sensor was increased by increasing the gas concentrations. Additionally, while changing the temperature inside the chamber for the MWCNT/ZnO composite film gas sensor, we obtained the sensitivity. And the comparison analysis to ZnO film gas sensor for detecting $NO_x$ gas. From the experiment result, we confirmed improvement of $NO_x$ gas detection characteristics using the MWCNT/ZnO composite film.

In 1991, Prof. Toshio Masuda of Kyoto University for the first time synthesized a representative of diphenylacetylene polymer derivatives, poly[1-phenyl-2-(p-trimethylsilyl)phenylacetylene] [PTMSDPA]. This polymer is highly soluble nevertheless a ultra-high molecular weight (Mw) of > $1.0{\times}10^6$ which showed excellent chemical, physical, mechanical properties [1]. As one of the most interesting features of PTMSDPA, Prof. Katsumi Yoshino of Osaka Univ. reported that this polymer emits an intense fluorescence (FL) in a visible region because of the effective exciton confinement within the resonant structure between the polyene pi-conjugated chain and side phenyl full-aromatic bulky groups [2]. Very recently, Prof. Ben-Zhong Tang of Hong-Kong Institute of Science and Technology clarified the idea that the FL emission of disubstituted acetylene polymer derivatives originates from intramolecular excimer due to the face-to-face stacking of the side phenyl groups [3]. Thus, to know what influence to intramolecular excimer emission in the film as well as to further understand how the intramolecular excimer forms in the film became more crucial in order to further precisely design the optimized molecular structure for highly emissive, substituted acetylene polymers in the solid state. In recent studies, we have focused our interests on the origin of the FL emission in order to expand our knowledge to developments of novel sensor applications. It was found that the intramolecular phenyl-pheyl stack structure of PTMSDPA in film was variable in response to various external chemical stimuli. Using PTMSDPA and its derivatives, we have developed various potential applications such as latent fingerprint identification, viscosity sensor, chemical-responsive actuator, gum-like soft conjugated polymer, and bioimaging. The details will be presented in the 49th KVS Symposium held in Pyong Chang city.

Single crystal $CuAlSe_2$ layers were grown on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate at $410\;^{\circ}C$ with hot wall epitaxy (HWE) system by evaporating $CuAlSe_2$ source at $680\;^{\circ}C$. 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 single crystal $CuAlSe_2$ thin films measured with Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $9.24{\times}10^{16}\;cm^{-3}\;and\;295\;cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ at 293 K, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $CuAlSe_2$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)\;=\;2.8382\;eV\;-\;(8.68\;{\times}\;10^{-4}eV/K)T^2/(T\;+\;155\;K)$. The crystal field and the spin-orbit splitting energies for the valence band of the $CuAlSe_2$ have been estimated to be 0.2026 eV and 0.2165 eV at 10 K, 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 $CuAlSe_2$. The three photocurrent peaks observed at 10 K are ascribed to the $A_1-$, $B_1-$, and $C_1$-exciton peaks for n = 1.
