무선 통신 시스템이 발달하고 정보의 양이 많아짐에 따라 고주파를 이용한 통신 시스템에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있다. 최근 이러한 고주파 통신 시스템을 optical fiber를 이용하여 구현(Radio-on-fiber system)하는 연구가 주목받고 있다. 무선 고주파 통신 시스템에서는 많은 수의 안테나 기지국이 필요하게 되는데 optical fiber를 이용하면 적은 전송 손실로 기지국간의 연결이 가능하게 된다. 안테나 기지국의 구축을 위해서 최근 InP High Electron Mobility Transistor(HEMT)를 이용하여 광 검출을 구현하는연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다.

We report on the simulation results of electrical/optical characteristics for nonpolar GaN LED having Mg-doped GaN spacer and quantum barrier, in comparison with those of the typical nonpolar GaN LED. In order to reduce the band-gap energy distortion and conduction-band discontinuity in InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells(MQWs) of nonpolar GaN LED, and thereby to increase their current-voltage, light output power and emission peak intensity, we applied 6 nm-thick p-type($1{\times}10^{18}\;cm^{-3}$) GaN spacer and GaN QB schemes to the typical nonpolar GaN LED epitaxial structure. As a result, we found that the radiative recombination rate was increased by 23% in MQWs at 20 mA current injection. Also, the forward voltage($V_f$) and the light output power($P_{out}$) were improved by 3.7% and 7%, respectively, for the proposed nonpolar LED epitaxial structure, compared with those of the typical nonpolar GaN LED.

After the patterning and probe process of wafer have been achieved, the dicing processing is necessary to separate chips from a wafer. The dicing process cuts a semiconductor wafer to lengthwise and crosswise directions to make many chips. The existing general dicing method is the mechanical cutting using a narrow circular rotating blade impregnated diamond particles or laser cutting. Inferior goods can be made by the mechanical or laser cutting unless several parameters such as blade, wafer, cutting water and cutting conditions are properly set. Moreover, we can not apply these general dicing method to that of GaN wafer, because the GaN wafer is harder than general semiconductor wafers such as GaAs, GaAsP, AIGaAs and so forth. In order to overcome these problems, this paper describes a new wafer dicing method using fixed diamond scriber and precision servo mechanism.

We present the DC and RF characteristics of 100 nm gate length InGaAs/InAlAs/GaAs metamorphic high electron mobility transistors (MHEMTs). We fabricated the T-gate with 100 nm foot print by using a positive resist ZEP520/P (MMA-MAA)/PMMA trilayer by double exposure method. The fabricated 100 nm MHEMT with a $70\;{\mu}m$ unit gate width and two fingers were characterized through do and rf measurements. The maximum drain current density of 465 mA/mm and extrinsic transconductance $(g_m)$ of 844 mS/mm were obtained with our devices. From rf measurements, we obtained the current gain cut-off frequency $(f_T)$ of 192 GHz, and maximum oscillation frequency $(f_{max})$ 310 GHz.

In this paper, Heterojunction phototransistors(HPT's) with an optically transparent ITO emitter contacts were fabricated. The ITO ohmic contacts were realized by employing thin imdium layer between the ITO and $n^+$-InP layers. The ITO contact was annealed at $250^{\circ}C$. The specific contact resistance of about $6.6{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm^2$ was measured by use of the transmission line model (TLM). Heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) having the same device layout were fabricated to compare with HPTs. The DC characteristics of the InP/InGaAs HPT showed the similar electrical characteristics of the HBT. Emitter contact resistance($R_E$) of about $6.4{\Omega}$ was extracted, which was very similar to that of the HBT. The optical characteristics of HPT's were generated by illuminating the device with light from $1.3{\mu}m$ light. It showed that HPT's can be controlled optically.

With the progress of semiconductor processing technology, avalanohe photodiodes (APDs) based on InP/InGaAs are used for high-speed optical receiver modules. Planar-type APDs give higher reliability than mesa-type APDs. However, Planar-type APDs are struggled with a problem of intensed electric field at the junction curvature, which causes edge breakdown phenomena at the junction periphery. In this paper, we focused on studying the effects of junction curvature for APDs performances by different etching processes followed by single diffusion to from p-n junction. The performance of each process is characterized by observing electric field profiles and carrier generation rates. From the results, it can be understood to predict the optimum structure, which can minimize edge breakdown and improve the manufacturability.

InP/lnGaAs HPT's were fabricated by employing Indium Tin Oxide(ITO) transparent emitter contact. The device showed the current gaing 70 was obtained but the emitter series resistance was significantly increased. the electrical charateristics of the device were similar to HBT's. However Vceoff was shifted the positive direction. Such a shift ma be resulted from the formation of the shottky barrier rather than the ohmic contact between ITO and n+ InP emitter.

In this work, the electrical and optical properties of the two different p-type GaN electrode schemes, ZnNi/ITO and ZnNi/Au, were compared each other, and applied to the top-emitting GaN/InGaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The ZnNi/ITO electrode showed much higher transmittance (90%) and slightly lower contact resistance $(1.27{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm^2)$ than those (77%, $(2.26{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm^2)$) of the ZnNi/Au at a wavelength of 460 nm. In addition, GaN LEDs having ZnNi/ITO showed accordingly higher light output power and luminous intensity than those having ZnNI/Au did at the current levels up to 1 A.

Human serum albumin (HSA) has potential for diagnosis and therapy in clinical setting. The purpose of experiments was to develop and evaluate $^{68}Ga$-HSA as a PET agent for diagnosis of acute inflammation. NOTA-HSA was synthesized by conjugating 2-(p-isothiocyanatobenzyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid to HSA in 0.1 M sodium carbonate buffer (pH 9.5) and then purified using a PD-10 size-exclusion column. NOTA-HSA was labeled with $^{68}Ga$ at room temperature for 10 min, and 8.4% sodium hydrogen carbonate buffer was added for neutralization. $^{68}Ga$-NOTA-HSA was purified using alumina N plus light cartridge and $0.22{\mu}m$ syringe filter. Labeling efficiency and radiochemical purity were determined by ITLC-SG with 0.1 M citric acid. Biodistribution study was performed in a male BALB/c mice model of Carrageenan-induced acute inflammation. Animal PET study was performed in acute inflammation mice model after tail vein injection of $^{68}Ga$-HSA. This radiotracer showed high labeling efficiency (>99%) around pH 7. Biodistribution study showed higher inflamed footpad uptake than control footpad uptake. Animal PET study revealed 2 times higher uptake on inflamed footpad compared to control footpad. In these experiments, we developed $^{68}Ga$-HSA for acute inflammation PET imaging and evaluated it in a mouse disease model. The results demonstrated that $^{68}Ga$-HSA has potential as a PET imaging agent for diagnosis of acute inflammation.
