In semiconductor manufacturing field, all equipments have various sensors to diagnosis the situations of processes. For increasing the accuracy of diagnosis, hundreds of sensors are emplyed. As sensors provide millions of data, the process diagnosis from them are unrealistic. Besides, in some cases, the results from some data which have same conditions are different. We want to find some information, such as data and knowledge, from the data. Nowadays, fault detection and classification (FDC) has been concerned to increasing the yield. Certain faults and no-faults can be classified by various FDC tools. The uncertainty in semiconductor manufacturing, no-faulty in faulty and faulty in no-faulty, has been caused the productivity to decreased. From the uncertainty, the rough set theory is a viable approach for extraction of meaningful knowledge and making predictions. Reduction of data sets, finding hidden data patterns, and generation of decision rules contrasts other approaches such as regression analysis and neural networks. In this research, a RGB sensor was used for diagnosis plasma instead of optical emission spectroscopy (OES). RGB data has just three variables (red, green and blue), while OES data has thousands of variables. RGB data, however, is difficult to analyze by human's eyes. Same outputs in a variable show different outcomes. In other words, RGB data includes the uncertainty. In this research, by rough set theory, decision rules were generated. In decision rules, we could find the hidden data patterns from the uncertainty. RGB sensor can diagnosis the change of plasma condition as over 90% accuracy by the rough set theory. Although we only present a preliminary research result, in this paper, we will continuously develop uncertainty problem solving data mining algorithm for the application of semiconductor process diagnosis.

The effect of substrate on catalytic activity of CO oxidation with transition metal Platinum nanoparticles on doped and undoped TiO2 was investigated. Titanium dioxide was doped chemically with non-metal anions including nitrogen and fluorine. Undoped TiO2 was synthesized via simple conventional sol-gel route. Thin films of titania were developed by spin coating technique and the characterization techniques SEM, XRD, UV-Vis Absorption Spectroscopy and XPS were carried out to examine the morphology of films, crystal phase, crystallites, optical properties and elemental composition respectively. XPS analysis from doped TiO2 confirmed that the nitrogen site were interstitial whereas fluorine was doped into TiO2 lattice substitutionally. Catalytic activity systems of Pt/doped-TiO2 and Pt/undoped-TiO2 were fabricated to reveal the strong metal-support interaction effect during catalytic activity of CO oxidation reactions. By arc plasma deposition technique, platinum nanoparticles with mean size of 2.7 nm were deposited on the thin films of doped and undoped titanium dioxide. The CO oxidation was performed with 40 Torr CO and 100 Torr O2 with 620 Torr He carrier gas. Turn over frequency was observed two to three folds enhancement in case of Pt/doped TiO2 as compared to Pt/TiO2. The electronic excitation and the oxygen vacancies that were formed with the doping process were the plausible reasons for the enhancement of catalytic activity.

ZnO nanostructures have a lot of interest for decades due to its varied applications such as light-emitting devices, power generators, solar cells, and sensing devices etc. To get the high performance of these devices, the factors of nanostructure geometry, spacing, and alignment are important. So, Patterning of vertically- aligned ZnO nanowires are currently attractive. However, many of ZnO nanowire or nanorod fabrication methods are needs high temperature, such vapor phase transport process, metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy, thermal evaporation, pulse laser deposition and thermal chemical vapor deposition. While hydrothermal process has great advantages-low temperature (less than $100^{\circ}C$), simple steps, short time consuming, without catalyst, and relatively ease to control than as mentioned various methods. In this work, we investigate the dependence of ZnO nanowire alignment and morphology on si substrate using of nanosphere template with various precursor concentration and components via hydrothermal process. The brief experimental scheme is as follow. First synthesized ZnO seed solution was spun coated on to cleaned Si substrate, and then annealed $350^{\circ}C$ for 1h in the furnace. Second, 200nm sized close-packed nanospheres were formed on the seed layer-coated substrate by using of gas-liquid-solid interfacial self-assembly method and drying in vaccum desicator for about a day to enhance the adhesion between seed layer and nanospheres. After that, zinc oxide nanowires were synthesized using a low temperature hydrothermal method based on alkali solution. The specimens were immersed upside down in the autoclave bath to prevent some precipitates which formed and covered on the surface. The hydrothermal conditions such as growth temperature, growth time, solution concentration, and additives are variously performed to optimize the morphologies of nanowire. To characterize the crystal structure of seed layer and nanowires, morphology, and optical properties, X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) studies were investigated.

Wide band gap II-VI semiconductors have attracted the interest of many research groups during the past few years due to the possibility of their applications in light-emitting diodes and laser diodes. Among the II-VI semiconductors, ZnO is an important optoelectronic device material for use in the violet and blue regions because of its wide direct band gap (Eg ~3.37 eV) and large exciton binding energy (60 meV). F-doped ZnO (FZO) and undoped ZnO thin films were grown onto quartz substrate by the sol-gel spin-coating method. The doping level in the solution, designated by F/Zn atomic ratio of was varied from 0 to 5 in 1 steps. To investigate the effects of the structure and optical properties of FZO thin films were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-visible spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL). In the XRD, the residual stress, FWHM, bond length, and average grain size were changed with increasing the doping concentration. For the PL spectra, the high INBE/IDLE ratio of the FZO thin films doping concentration at 1 at.% than the other samples.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocrystalline thin films on various growth temperatures for active layer and different buffer layer thickness were grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PA-MBE) on Si substrates. The ZnO active layer were grown with various growth temperature from 500 to $800^{\circ}C$ and the ZnO buffer layer were grown for different time from 5 to 40 minutes. To investigate the structural and optical properties of the ZnO thin films, scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy were used, respectively. In the SEM images, the ZnO thin films have high densification of grains and good roughness and uniformity at $800^{\circ}C$ for active layer growth temperature and 20 minutes for buffer layer growth time, respectively. The PL spectra of ZnO buffer layers and active layers display sharp near band edge (NBE) emissions in UV range and broad deep level emissions (DLE) in visible range. The intensity of NBE peaks for the ZnO thin films significantly increase with increase in the active layer growth temperature. In addition, the NBE peak at 20 minutes for buffer layer growth time has the largest emission intensity and the intensity of DLE peaks decrease with increase in the growth time.

The p-type GaN which act as a hole injection layer in GaN-based LEDs has fundamental problems. The first one arises from the difficulty in growing a highly doped p-GaN (with a carrier concentration exceeding ~1018 $cm^{-3}$). And the second one is the absence of appropriate metals or conducting oxides having a work function that is larger than that of p-type GaN (7.5 eV). Moreover, the LED efficiency is decreases gradually as the injection current increases (the so-called 'efficiency droop' phenomenon). The efficiency droop phenomenon in InGaN quantum wells (QWs) has been a large obstacle that has hindered high-efficiency operation at high current density. In this study, we introduce the new approaches to improve the light-output power of LEDs by using graphene oxide sheets. Graphene oxide has many functional groups such as the oxygen epoxide, the hydroxyl, and the carboxyl groups. Due to nature of such functional groups, graphene oxide possess a lot of hole carriers. If graphene oxide combine with LED top surface, graphene oxide may supply hole carriers to p-type GaN layer which has relatively low free carrier concentration less than electron concentration in n-type GaN layer. To prove the enhancement factor of graphene oxide coated LEDs, we have investigated electrical and optical properties by using ultra-violet photo-excited spectroscopy, confocal scanning electroluminescence microscopy.

Synthesis of RGO (reduced graphene oxide)-CdS composite material was performed through CBD (chemical bath deposition) method in which graphene oxide served as the support and Cadmium Sulfate Hydrate as the starting material. Graphene-based semiconductor photocatalysts have attracted extensive attention due to their usefulness for environmental and energy applications. The band gap (2.4 eV) of CdS corresponds well with the spectrum of sunlight because the crystalline phase, size, morphology, specic surface area and defects, etc., of CdS can affect its photocatalytic activity. The specific surface structure (morphology) of the photocatalyst can be effective for the suppression of recombination between photogenerated electrons and holes. Graphene (GN) has unique properties such as a high value of Young's modulus, large theoretical specific surface area, excellent thermal conductivity, high mobility of charge carriers, and good optical transmittance. These excellent properties make GN an ideal building block in nanocomposites. It can act as an excellent electron-acceptor/transport material. Therefore, the morphology, structural characterization and crystal structure were observed using various analytical tools, such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. From this analysis, it is shown that CdS particles were well dispersed uniformly in the RGO sheet. Furthermore, the photocatalytic property of the resulting RGO-CdS composite is also discussed in relation to environmental applications such as the photocatalytic degradation of pollutants. It was found that the prepared RGO-CdS nanocomposites exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity as compared with that of CdS nanoparticles. Therefore, better efficiency of photodegradation was found for water purification applications using RGO-CdS composite.

진동 원편광 이색성(VCD; Vibrational Circular Dichroism) 분석기기를 사용한 키랄 유도체의 광학순도 분석을 수행하였다. 이 분석법을 통하여 광학이성체의 절대배위와 2% 이내의 오차 범위 내에서 %EE 값을 용이하게 측정할 수 있었다. 또한 VCD분석을 연속순환방식으로 시간 변화와 함께 수행하여 키랄화합물의 %EE 값을 측정하였다. ECH와 글리시돌 두 키랄 성분이 섞인 2성분 계에서 특별한 분리조작 없이 각 성분에 대한 농도 및 %EE 변화를 동시에 모니터링하는 것이 가능하였다. 본 연구에서 응용한 VCD 분석법은 반응 중의 반응 속도 등을 연속적으로 측정하는데 유용한 기법이며, 서로 다른 키랄 화합물이 혼합되어 있는 경우에 각각의 광학순도를 시간 변화와 함께 비파괴법으로 측정하기에 편리한 방법임을 확인하였다.

$BCl_3$고밀도 평판형 유도결합 플라즈마(High Density Planar Inductively Coupled Plasma)를 이용하여 AlGaAs와 InGaP의 건식식각에 대하여 연구하였다. 본 실험에서는 ICP 소스파워(0∼500 W), RIE 척 파워(0-150 W), 공정압력(5∼15 mTorr)의 변화에 따른 AlGaAs와 InGaP의 식각률, 식각단면 그리고 표면 거칠기 등을 분석 하였다. 또, 공정 중 OES(Optical Emission Spectroscopy)를 이용하여 in-situ로 플라즈마를 관찰하였다. $BCl_3$ 유도결합 플라즈마를 이용한 AlGaAs의 식각결과는 우수한 수직측벽도와(>87$^{\circ}$) 깨끗하고 평탄한 표면(RMS roughness = 0.57 nm)을 얻을 수 있었다. 반면, InGaP의 경우에는 식각 후 표면이 다소 거칠어진 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 모든 공정조건에서 AlGaAs의 식각률이 InGaP보다 더 높았다. 이는 $BCl_3$ 유도결합 플라즈마를 이용하여 InGaP을 식각하는 동안 $InCl_{x}$ 라는 휘발성이 낮은 식각부산물이 형성되어 나타난 결과이다. ICP 소스파워와 RIE 척파워가 증가하면 AlGaAs와 InGaP모두 식각률이 증가하였지만, 공정압력의 증가는 식각률의 감소를 가져왔다. 그리고 OES peak세기는 공정압력과 ICP 소스파워의 변화에 따라서는 크게 변화하였지만 RIE 척파워에 따라서는 거의 영향을 받지 않았다.
