We have grown Mn-doped $Bi_2Se_3$ and $Sb_2Se_3$ single crystals using the temperature gradient solidification method. We report on the structural and magnetic propertis of Mn-doped $Bi_2Se_3$ and $Sb_2Se_3$ compound semi-conductors. The lattice constants of several percent Mn-doped $Bi_2Se_3$ and $Sb_2Se_3$ were slightly smaller than those of the un-doped samples due to the smaller Mn atomic radius ($1.40 {\AA}$) than those of Bi ($1.60 {\AA}$) and Sb ($1.45 {\AA}$). Mn-doped $Bi_2Se_3$ and $Sb_2Se_3$ showed spin glass and paramagnetic properties, respectively.

In other to progress better crystallization transition and long phase-transformation data of phase-change memory (PRAM), we investigated about the effect of Sb doping and Ag ions percolating into Ge-Se-Te phase-change material. Doped Sb concentrations was determined each of 10 wt%, 20 wt% and 30 wt%. As the Sb-doping concentration was increased, the resistivity decreased and the crystallization temperature increased. Ionization of Ag was progressed by DPSS laser (532 nm) for 1 hour. The resistivity was more decreased and the crystallization temperature was more increased in case of adding Ag layer under Sb-(Ge-Se-Te) thin film. At the every condition of thin films included Ag layer more stable states were indicated compare with just Sb-doped Ge-Se-Te thin films.

In this work, we report that crystallization speed as well as the electrical and optical properties about the N-doped $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ thin films. The 200-nm-thick N-doped $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ thin film was deposited on p-type (100) Si and glass substrate by RF reactive sputtering at room temperature. The amorphous-to-crystalline phase transformation of N-doped $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ thin films investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Changes in the optical transmittance of as-deposited and annealed films were measured using a UV-VIS-IR spectrophotometer and four-point probe was used to measure the sheet resistance of N-doped $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ thin films annealed at different temperature. In addition, the surface morphology and roughness of the films were observed by Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). The crystalline speed of amorphous N-doped $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ films were measured by using nano-pulse scanner with 658 nm laser diode (power : 1~17 mW, pulse duration: 10~460 ns). It was found that the crystalline speed of thin films are decreased by adding N and the crystalline temperature is higher. This means that N-dopant in $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ thin film plays a role to suppress amorphous-to-crystalline phase transformation.

Sb-doped tin oxide films were deposited on Corning glass 1737 substrate by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(PECVD) technique using a gas mixture of SnCl4/SbCl5/O2/Ar. The deposition behaviors of tin oxide films by PECVD were compared with those by thermal CVD, and effects of deposition temperature, r.f. power and Sb doping on the electrical properties of tin oxide films were investigated. PECVD technique largely increased the deposition rate and smoothed the surface of tin oxide films compared with thermal CVD. Electrical resistivity decreased with doping of Sb due to the increase of carrier concentration. However, large doping of Sb diminished carrier concentration and mobility due to the decrease of crystallinity, which resulted in the increase of electrical resistivity. As the deposition temperature and r.f. power increased, Cl content in the film decreased.

ATO(antimony-doped tin oxide) 투명전도막을 sol-gel dip coating 방법에 의해 $SiO_2$/glass 기판 위에 성공적으로 제조하였다 ATO막의 결정상은 $SnO_2$상임을 확인하였고, 막의 두께는 withdrawal speed를 50 mm/minute로 코팅시 약 100 nm/layer였다. $SiO_2$/glass 기판 위에 코팅한 400 nm두께의 ATO 박막을 질소분위기에서 annealing한 후, 측정한 광 투과율과 전기 저항치는 각각 84%와 $5.0\times 10^{-3}\Omega \textrm{cm}$였다. 이러한 특성은 $SiO_2$막이 Na 이온의 확산을 제어하여 $Na_2SnO_3$ 및 SnO와 같은 불순물의 형성을 억제하고, 막 내부의 Sb의 농도와 $Sb^{3+}$에 대한 $Sb^{5+}$의 비를 증가시키는데 기여했기 때문으로 확인되었다. 또한, $N_2$ annealing은 $Sb^{5+}$뿐만 아니라 $Sn^{4+}$를 환원시킴으로써 전기전도도를 향상시킴을 확인하였다.

Nitrogen doped Ge-Sb-Te (N-GST) thin films for phase change random access memory (PRAM) applications were investigated by synchrotron-radiation-based x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and absorption spectroscopy. Nitrogen doping in GST resulted in more favorable N atoms' bonding with Ge atoms rather than with Sb and Te atoms [1,2], which explains the higher phase change transition temperature than that of undoped Ge-Sb-Te thin film. Surprisingly, it was noticed that N atoms also existed in the form of molecular nitrogen, $N_2$, which is detrimental to the stability of the GST performance [3]. N-doped GST experimental features were also supported by ab-initio molecular dynamic calculations [2]. References [1] M.-C. Jung, Y. M. Lee, H.-D. Kim, M. G. Kim, and H. J. Shin, K. H. Kim, S. A.

Sb-doped SnO2 films were formed on Corning glass 7059 substrate by chemical vapor deposition using simulataneous hydrolysis of SnCl4 and SbCl5. Fairly good transparent conducting film with a low resistivity of ~6$\times$10-4{{{{ OMEGA }}cm and high average optical transparency above ~85% in the range of visible light was obtained at the deposition condition of 50$0^{\circ}C$ and input-gas ratio, [Psbcl5/Psncl4] of 0.05. Film conductivity was improved without loosing optical transparency at light doping of Sb and found to be due to the increase of electron concentration. However, high doping of Sb into SnO2 film largely deteriorated conductivity, optical transparency and crystallinity of the film.

This work reports the phase-change behavior and thermal stability of doped GeSbTe/GeSbTe bilayers. We prepared the bilayers using RF sputtering, and annealed them at annealing temperature ranging from $100^{\circ}C$ to $400^{\circ}C$. The sheet resistance of the bilayer decreased and saturated with increasing annealing temperature, and the saturated value was close to that of pure GeSbTe film. The surface of the bilayer roughened at $400^{\circ}C$, which corresponds to the surface roughening of doped GeSbTe film. Mixed phases of face-centered cubic and hexagonal close-packed crystalline structures were identified in the bilayers annealed at elevated temperature. These results indicate that the phase-change behavior of the bilayer depends on the concurrent phase-transitions of the two GeSbTe-based films. The dopants in the doped GeSbTe film were diffused out at annealing temperatures of $300^{\circ}C$ or higher, which implies that the thermal stability of the bilayer should be considered for its application in phase-change electronic devices.

We fabricated undoped and Sb-doped $SnO_2$ thin films on glass substrates by a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) process. Undoped and 2 - 8 wt% $Sb_2O_3$-doped $SnO_2$ targets with a high density level of ~90% were prepared by the spark plasma sintering (SPS) process. Initially, the effects of the deposition temperature on undoped $SnO_2$ thin films were investigated in the region of $100-600^{\circ}C$. While the undoped $SnO_2$ film exhibited the lowest resistivity of $1.20{\times}10^{-2}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ at $200^{\circ}C$ due to the highest carrier concentration generated by the oxygen vacancies, 2 wt% Sb-doped $SnO_2$ film exhibited the lowest resistivity value of $5.43{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, the highest average transmittance of 85.8%, and the highest figure of merit of 1202 ${\Omega}^{-1}{\cdot}cm^{-1}$ at $400^{\circ}C$ among all of the doped films. These results imply that 2 wt% $Sb_2O_3$ is an optimum doping content close to the solubility limit of $Sb^{5+}$ substitution for the $Sb^{4+}$ sites of $SnO_2$.

$SnO_2$, Sb-doped $SnO_2$>, 그리고 백금촉매하에서 일산화탄소의 산화반응을 연구하였다. $SnO_2$ 및 Sb-doped $SnO_2$ 촉매하에서 산화반응은 CO 및 $O_2$에 대해서 각각 1차, 백금 촉매하에서는 1/2차 반응에 따랐다. $SnO_2$에 소량의 Sb첨가(dopant composition : 0.05∼0.1mole%)는 반응속도를 증가시키고 그 이상의 첨가는 오히려 반응속도를 감소시켰다. 백금 촉매하의 산화반응에서는 일산화탄소의 농도가 증가함에 따라 반응속도가 오히려 감소하는 억제효과를 보여주었다. 각 촉매하에서 산화반응의 활성화에너지는 Sb-dopoped $SnO_2$ 촉매 (dopant compisito : 0.05 mole%)에서 5.7 kcal, 백금 촉매에서 6.4 kcal이었다. 실험적으로 얻은 반응차수와 doping 효과로부터 가능한 반응메카니즘을 제안하였다.
