It is commonly believed that high permittivity materials will be necessary for future high density Gbit DRAMs. In a first part, we explain the choice of SrTiO3 by ECR MOCVD for Gbit-scale DRAMs. In a second part, after describing the ECR MOCVD system and presenting the requirements SrTiO3 thin films should meet for use in Gbit-scale DRAMs, the physical and electrical properties of srTiO3 thi film prepared by ECR MOCVD are then studied. A stacked capacitor technology, suitable for use in 1 Gbit DRAM, and comprising high permittivity SrTiO3 thin films prepared by ECR MOCVD at $450^{\circ}C$ on electron beam and RIE patterned RuO2/TiN storage nodes is finally described.

Since Gratzel and co-workers developed a new type of solar cell based on the nanocrystalline $TiO_2$ electrode, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have attracted considerable attention on account of their high solar energy-to-conversion efficiencies (11%), their easy manufacturing process with low cost production compared to conventional p-n junction solar cells. The mechanism of DSSC is based on the injection of electrons from the photoexcited dye into the conduction band of nanocrystalline $TiO_2$. The oxidized dye is reduced by the hole injection process from either the hole counter or electrolyte. Thus, the electronic structures, such as HOMO, LUMO, and HOMO-LUMO gap, of dye molecule in DSSC are deeply related to the electron transfer by photoexcitation and redox potential. To date, high performance and good stability of DSSC based on Ru-dyes as a photosensitizer had been widely addressed in the literatures. DSSC with Ru-bipyridyl complexes (N3 and N719), and the black ruthenium dye have achieved power conversion efficiencies up to 11.2% and 10.4%, respectively. However, the Ru-dyes are facing the problem of manufacturing costs and environmental issues. In order to obtain even cheaper photosensitizers for DSSC, metal-free organic photosensitizers are strongly desired. Metal-free organic dyes offer superior molar extinction coefficients, low cost, and a diversity of molecular structures, compared to conventional Ru-dyes. Recently, novel photosensitizers such as coumarin, merocyanine, cyanine, indoline, hemicyanine, triphenylamine, dialkylaniline, bis(dimethylfluorenyl)-aminophenyl, phenothiazine, tetrahydroquinoline, and carbazole based dyes have achieved solar-to-electrical power conversion efficiencies up to 5-9%. On the other hand, organic dye molecules have large ${\pi}$-conjugated planner structures which would bring out strong molecular stacking in their solid-state and poor solubility in their media. It was well known that the molecular stacking of organic dyes could reduce the electron transfer pathway in opto-electronic devices, significantly. In this paper, we have studied on synthesis and characterization of dendritic organic dyes with different number of electron acceptor/anchoring moieties in the end of dendrimer. The photovoltaic performances and the incident photon-to-current (IPCE) of these dyes were measured to evaluate the effects of the dendritic strucuture on the open-circuit voltage and the short-circuit current.

$TiO_2$ nanopowders were synthesized by new sol-gel combustion hybrid method using acetylene black as a fuel. The dried gels exhibited autocatalytic combustion behaviour. $TiO_2$ nanopowders with an anatase structure and a narrow size distribution were obtained at 400-600 ${^{\circ}C}$. Their crystal structures were examined by powder Xray diffraction (XRD) and their morphology and crystal size were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The crystal size of the nanopowders was found to be in the range of 15-20 nm. $TiO_2$ powders synthesized at 500 ${^{\circ}C}$ and 600 ${^{\circ}C}$ were applied to a dye solar cell. An efficiency of 5.2% for the conversion of solar energy to electricity ($J_{sc}$ = 11.79 mA/$cm^2$, $V_{oc}$ = 0.73 V, and FF = 0.58) was obtained for an AM 1.5 irradiation (100 mW/$cm^2$) using the $TiO_2$ nanopowder synthesized by the sol-gel combustion hybrid method at 500 ${^{\circ}C}$.

Multiferroic thin films with composition $0.9BiFeO_3-0.1Ba(Cu_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$ were epitaxially grown by pulsed laser deposition on $SrRuO_3(001)/SrTiO_3$ (000) substrate $0.9BiFeO_3-0.1Ba(Cu_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$, which is assumed to be morphotropic phase boundary (MPB), that showed superior dielectric, ferroelectric and magnetic properties in our study on polycrystalline films. The structures of epitaxially grown films were characterized by means of XRD. From P-E measurements, samples exhibited typical ferroelectric hysteresis loops and large remnant polarization, whose value is much larger than those of pure BFO film. The enhancement of dielectric, ferroelectric, magnetic properties was attributed to the structural distortion induced by the BCN addition and the high physical stress effect.

This research project focused on the production of hydrogen through ammonia decomposition reactions while investigating how the reactivity of this process varies when employing different catalysts. Several metal oxide supports (Al₂O₃, La₂O₃, CeO₂) were utilized as catalysts, with active metals from both the transition metal group (Co, Ni, Fe, Cr, Cu) and the noble metal group (Ru, Rh, Pd, Pt) impregnated onto these supports. Furthermore, the study examined how the reactivity evolves with changes in reaction temperature when employing the prepared catalysts. Additionally, the research delved into the distinctive activation energies associated with each of the catalysts. In this research, In the noble metal catalyst system, the order of high activity for ammonia decomposition reaction to produce hydrogen is Ru > Rh > Pt ≈ Pd. In the transition metal catalyst system, the order of high activity is Co > Ni > Fe > Cr > Cu.

본 실험에서는 전구체(Precursor)로 TMA (Tris methyl Aluminum)를 사용한 ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition)와 PEALD (Plasma Enhanced Atomic Layer Deposition) 공정 중 발생하는 입자(particle)를 ISPM (In-Situ Particle Mornitor)로 관찰하였다. ALD과 PEALD 공정에서 Al2O3 박막을 형성하기 위해서 반응가스(Reactant)로 각 각 H2O와 O2 plasma를 사용하였다. 이러한 차이로 인해서 진공 챔버(Vacuum Chamber) 안에서의 각기 다른 매커니즘에 의해서 Al2O3의 박막이 형성된다. 또한 공정 중 발생할 수 있는 파티클(Particle) 생성 매커니즘의 차이점을 가진다. ALD의 경우 전구체와 반응가스 사이에 충분한 purge가 이루어지지 않거나 dead zone이 존재할 경우 라인과 챔버 상에 잔류한 전구체와 반응가스에 의해서 불완전한 반응물로 파티클이 생성될 수 있다. 반면 PEALD 경우는 반응가스(Reactant)로 O2 plasma를 극부(localization)적으로 형성하여 박막을 형성하므로 반응가스의 잔류의 영향은 없으나 고에너지의 플라즈마에 의해서 물리적 영향에 의한 파티클이 생성될 수 있다. 공정 중 발생하는 입자(Particle)은 수율 감소와 박막의 물성에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 그러므로 두 공정 중 발생하는 파티클을 ISPM으로 관찰하였고, 각 공정에서 형성된 박막의 두께 균일도, 표면의 형상(morphology), 화학적 조성 및 전기적 특성을 측정하였다. 이를 통해서 ALD와 PEALD의 파티클과 박막특성을 비교하였다.

$TiO_2$는 표면적이 넓고 안정성이 높아 자체의 높은 밴드갭(3.0~3.2 eV)에도 불구하고 산업적으로 염소분해 전극으로써 사용되며, 최근 물분해 전극 적용 연구가 진행되고 있다. 전기화학적 물분해 반응을 위해서는 높은 과전압이 요구되므로 산업적으로 이용하기 위해 전도성을 향상시키기 위한 연구가 필요하다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 촉매제의 도핑이 연구되고 있으며 본 연구에서는 표면에 촉매를 도핑시키기 위한 두가지 방법을 연구하였다. 일반적으로 촉매로 사용되는 금속은 루테늄과 이리듐 등의 귀금속이며 촉매가 균일하게 도핑이 될수록 성능은 향상된다. 본 연구에서는 루테늄을 촉매로 선택하였으며 서로 다른 도핑 방법과 용매 하에서 물분해 실험을 진행하여 두 가지 방법의 물분해 효율을 비교하였다.

We have developed new electrical dopants of rhenium oxide ($ReO_3$) and cupper iodide (CuI) as p-dopants and rubidium carbonate ($Rb_2CO_3$) as an n-dopant, respectively. $ReO_3$ has advantage of low temperature evaporation (about $300^{\circ}C$) with enhanced device stability. Various kinds of high performance organic light emitting diodes have been realized, including bottom emission, tandem, and top-emission OLEDs.
