Superconductor-ferromagnet thin film heterostructure is an ideal system for studying the interplay between superconductivity and ferromagnetism. These two antagonistic properties combined in thin film heterostructure create interesting proximity effects such as spin-triplet superconductivity. Thin film heterostructure of optimally doped La_2-xSr_xCuO₄(LSCO) cuprate superconductor and SrRuO₃(SRO) ruthenate ferromagnet has been grown by pulsed laser deposition. Its temperature-dependent resistivity and Hall effect measurements show that our LSCO/SRO heterostructure has both superconductivity and ferromagnetism. In the Hall effect measurement results, we find additional hump-like structures appear in the anomalous Hall effect signal in the vicinity of superconducting transition. We conclude that giant magnetoresistance of the LSCO layer distorts the AHE signal, which results in a hump-like structure.

Due to the importance of the SiGe/Si heterostructure in the fields of thermoelectric and electronic applications, SiGe/Si heterostructures have been extensively investigated. For practical applications, thermal stability of the heterostructure during the thermoelectric power generation or fabrication process of electronic devices is of great concern. In this work, we focused on the effect of thermal annealing on the defect configuration in the SiGe/Si heterostructure. The formation mechanism of planar defects in an annealed SiGe/Si heterostructure was investigated by transmission electron microscopy. Due to the interdiffusion of Si and Ge, interface migration phenomena were observed in annealed heterostructures. Because of the strain gradient in the migrated region between the original interface and the migrated interface, the glide of misfit dislocation was observed in the region and planar defects were produced by the interaction of the gliding misfit dislocations. The planar defects were confined to the migrated region, and dislocation pileup by strain gradient was the origin of the confinement of the planar defect.

A double-heterostructure AIGaAs/GaAs PHEMT (Pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor) using digital recess has been successfully realized. Futhermore, the differences of gm,nax, fT, fmax between two samples are as low as 0.62%, 1.58% and 2.56 % respectively. Experimental results are presented demonstrating the etch rate and Process invariability with respect to hydrogen peroxide and acid exposure times with uniformity among devices on a sample.

Multilayered ZnO-$SnO_2$ heterostructure thin films consisting of ZnO and $SnO_2$ layers are produced by alternating the pulsed laser ablation of ZnO and $SnO_2$ targets, and their structural and field-effect electronic transport properties are investigated as a function of the thickness of the ZnO and $SnO_2$ layers. The performance parameters of amorphous multilayered ZnO-$SnO_2$ heterostructure thin-film transistors (TFTs) are highly dependent on the thickness of the ZnO and $SnO_2$ layers. A highest electron mobility of $43cm^2/V{\cdot}s$, a low subthreshold swing of a 0.22 V/dec, a threshold voltage of 1 V, and a high drain current on-to-off ratio of $10^{10}$ are obtained for the amorphous multilayered ZnO(1.5nm)-$SnO_2$(1.5 nm) heterostructure TFTs, which is adequate for the operation of next-generation microelectronic devices. These results are presumed to be due to the unique electronic structure of amorphous multilayered ZnO-$SnO_2$ heterostructure film consisting of ZnO, $SnO_2$, and ZnO-$SnO_2$ interface layers.

The a-plane GaN layer on r-plane $Al_2O_3$ substrate is grown by mixed-source hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE). The GaN/InGaN heterostructure is performed by selective area growth (SAG) method. The heterostructure consists of a flown over mixed-sourec are used as gallium (or indium) and nitrogen sources. The gas flow rates of HCl and $NH_3$ are maintained at 10 sccm and 500 sccm, respectively. The temperatures of GaN source zone is $650^{\circ}C$. In case of InGaN, the temperature of source zone is $900^{\circ}C$. The grown temperatures of GaN and InGaN layer are $820^{\circ}C\;and\;850^{\circ}C$, respectively. The EL (electroluminescence) peak of GaN/InGaN heterostructure is at nearly 460 nm and the FWHM (full width at half maximum) is 0.67 eV. These results are demonstrated that the heterostructure of III-nitrides on r-plane sapphire can be successfully grown by mixed-source HVPE with multi-sliding boat system.

Major problems preventing the device-quality GaAs/Si heterostructure are the lattice mismatch of about 4% and difference in thermal expansion coefficient by a factor of 2.64 between Si and GaAs. Ge is a good candidate for the buffer layer because its lattice parameter and thermal expansion coefficient are almost the same as those of GaAs. As a first step toward developing heterostructure such as GaAs/Ge/Si entirely by a home-built PAE (plasma-assisted epitaxy), Ge films have been deposited on p-type Si (100)substrate by the plasma assisted evaporation of solid Ge source. The characteristics of these Ge/Si heterostructure were determined by X-ray diffraction, SEM and Auge electron spectroscope. PAE system has been successfully applied to quality-good Ge layer on Si substrate at relatively low temperature. Furthermore, this system can remove the native oxide(SiO2) on Si substrate with in-situ cleaning procedure. Ge layer grown on Si substrate by PAE at substrate temperature of 450\ulcorner in hydrogen partial pressure of 10mTorr was expected with a good buffer layer for GaAs/Ge/Si heterostructure.

The conditions for optimizing mass transport for making buried heterostructure (BH) InGaAsP/lnP lasers are discussed. The double heterostructure InGaAsP/lnP laser structures were grown by Liquid Phase Epitaxy (LPE) and etched into mesas. The active layer was selectively etched along [llO] and the mass transport was carried out in the LPE reactor to cover the sides of the active layer and form a BH structure. The threshold temperature for the appreciable mass transport is measured to be 670$670^{\circ}C$ when the holding time is set to 40 min. The width of the region re¬filled by mass transport is observed to increase as the temperature increases.

In this paper, the single and double heterostructure organic light-emitting devices(OLEDs) were fabricated. The single heterostructure OLED(TYPE 1) is consisted of TPD as a HTL(hole transfer layer) and Alq$_3$as an EML(emitting layer). The double heterostructure OLED(TYPE 2) is consisted of TPD as a HTL, Alq$_3$as an EML and PBD as an ETL(electron transfer layer). The another double heterostructure OLED(TYPE 3) is consisted of TPD as a HTL, PBD as an EML and Alq$_3$as an ETL. We obtained a strong green emission device with maximum EL emission wavelength 500nm in TYPE 3. When the applied voltage was 12V, the emission luminescence was 120.9cd/㎡. The chromaticity index of TYPE 3 was x=0.29, y=0.50. In the characteristic plot of current-voltage, TYPE 3 device was turned on at 6.9V. This voltage was a fairly low turn-on voltage. TYPE 1 and 2 device were turned on at 10V and 8.9V respectively. These types showed no good properties over that of TYPE 3.
