We have grown GaN layers with in-situ SiN mask by metal organic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD) and study the physical properties of the GaN layer. We have also investigate the effect of the SiN mask on its optical property. By inserting a SiN mask, (102) the full width at half maximum(FWHM) decreased from 480 arcsec to 409 arcsec. The PL intensity of GaN with SiN mask improved 2 times to that without SiN mask. We have thus shown that the SiN mask improved significantly the physical and optical properties of the GgN layer.

We have grown GaN layers with in-situ SiN mask by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and study the characteristic of the GaN layer. We have changed the deposition time of SiN mask from 45s to 5min and obtain th optimum condition in 45s. The PL intensity of GaN with SiN mask improved 2 times to that without SiN mask and the carrier concentraion increased from $3.5{\times}10^{16}cm^{-3}$ to $1.8{\times}10^{17}cm^{-3}$. We have thus shown that the SiN mask improved significantly the optical properties of the GaN layer.

By inserting a SiN mask, (102) the full width at half maximum (FWHM) decreased from 480 arcsec to 409 arcsec and threading dislocation (TD) density decreased from $3.21\times10^9\;cm^{-2}\;to\;9.7\times10^8\;cm^{-2}$. The PL intensity of GaN with SiN mask improved 2 times to that without SiN mask. We have thus shown that the SiN mask improved significantly the physical and optical properties of the GaN layer.

Silicon nitride ($Si_3N_4$) is regarded as one of the most promising materials for high temperature structural applications due to its excellent mechanical properties at both room and elevated temperatures. However, one high-temperature $Si_3N_4$ material intended for use in radomes has a relatively high dielectric constant of 7.9 - 8.2 at 8 - 10 GHz. In order to reduce the dielectric constant of the $Si_3N_4$, an in-situ reaction process was used to fabricate $Si_3N_4-SiO_2$-BN composites. In the present study, an in-situ reaction between $B_2O_3$ and $Si_3N_4$, with or without addition of BN in the starting powder mixture, was used to form the composite. The in-situ reaction process resulted in the uniform distribution of the constituents making up the composite ceramic, and resulted in good flexural strength and dielectric constant. The composite was produced by pressure-less sintering and hot-pressing at $1650^{\circ}C$ in a nitrogen atmosphere. Microstructure, flexural strength, and dielectric properties of the composites were evaluated with respect to their compositions and sintering processes. The highest flexural strength (193 MPa) and lowest dielectric constant (5.4) was obtained for the hot-pressed composites. The strength of these $Si_3N_4-SiO_2$-BN composites decreased with increasing BN content.

This paper describes the mechanical properties of poly (Polycrystalline) 3C-SiC thin films with $N_2$ in-situ doping. In this work, the poly 3C-SiC film was deposited by APCVD (Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition) method using single-precursor HMDS (Hexamethyildisilane: $Si_2(CH_3)_6)$ at $1200^{\circ}C$. The mechanical properties of doped poly 3C-SiC thin films were measured by nono-indentation according to the various $N_2$ flow rate. In the case of 0 sccm $N_2$ flow rate, Young's Modulus and hardness were obtained as 285 GPa and 35 GPa, respectively. Young's Modulus and hardness were decreased according to increase of $N_2$ flow rate. The crystallinity and surface roughness was also measured by XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) and AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy), respectively.

This paper describes the elecrtical and optical characteristics of $N_2$ doped porous 3C-SiC films. Polycrystalline 3C-SiC thin films are anodized by $HF+C_2H_5OH$ solution with UV-LED exposure. The growth of in-situ doped 3C-SiC thin films on p-type Si (100) wafers is carried out by using APCVD (atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition) with a single-precursor of HMDS (hexamethyildisilane: $Si_2(CH_3)_6)$. 0 ~ 40 sccm $N_2$ was used for doping. After the growth of doped 3C-SiC, porous 3C-SiC is formed by anodization with $7.1\;mA/cm^2$ current density for anodization time of 60 sec. The average pore diameter is about 30 nm, and etched area is increased with $N_2$ doping rate. These results are attributed to the decrease of crystallinity by $N_2$ doping. Mobility is dramatically decreased in porous 3C-SiC. The band gaps of polycrystalline 3C-SiC films and doped porous 3C-SiC are 2.5 eV and 2.7 eV, respectively.

This paper describes the electrical properties of poly (polycrystalline) 3C-SiC thin films with different nitrogen doping concentrations. In-situ doped poly 3C-SiC thin films were deposited by APCVD at $1200^{\circ}C$ using HMDS (hexamethyildisilane: $Si_2(CH_3)_6)$) as Si and C precursor, and $0{\sim}100$ sccm $N_2$ as the dopant source gas. The peak of SiC is appeared in poly 3C-SiC thin films grown on $SiO_2/Si$ substrates in XRD(X-ray diffraction) and FT-IR(Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) analyses. The resistivity of poly 3C-SiC thin films decreased from $8.35{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ with $N_2$ of 0 sccm to $0.014{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ with 100 sccm. The carrier concentration of poly 3C-SiC films increased with doping from $3.0819{\times}10^{17}$ to $2.2994{\times}10^{19}cm^{-3}$ and their electronic mobilities increased from 2.433 to $29.299cm^2/V{\cdot}S$, respectively.
