$CdS_{1-x}Te_{1-x}$ polycrystalline thin films were fabricated from CdS and CdTe powder by co-evaporation method at $10^{-6}$ Torr. The Optimum evaporation condition was substrate temperature $T_{s}$=$150^{\circ}C$, evaporation time t=30 min. XRD spectrums indicated that the crystal structure chanced from zinc blonde (x$\leq$0.22) to wurtzite (x$\geq$0.96) through mixed structure (0.22$\leq$0.74) as composition value x increase to CdS. Conductive type was n-type by hot point probe method. van der Pauw method was not applicable for x<0,5 due to high hall voltages, Electrical resistivity and Hall carrier mobility were decreased as x increase, while Hall carrier concentration was increased. The optical bandgap of $CdS_{1-x}Te_{1-x}$ polycrystalline thin films measure d at R.T. had quardratic form and the bowing parameter was fitted as 1.98eV for theoretical value of 2.0eV. I-V characteristics of In/CdTe/$CdS_{x}Te_{1-x}$Au Schottky diodes showed that CdS-rich one had better forward characteristics than CdTe-rich one.

The a-Si:H TFTs using ferroelectric of SrTiO$_3$, as a gate insulator is fabricated on glass. Dielectric characteristics of ferroelectric is better than SiO$_2$, SiN. Ferroelectric increases ON-current, decreases threshold voltage of TFT and also breakdown characteristics. The a-Si:H deposited by PECVD shows absorption band peaks at wavenumber 2,000 $cm^{-1}$ /, 635 $cm^{-1}$ / and 876 $cm^{-1}$ / according to FTIR measurement. Wavenumber 2,000 $cm^{-1}$ /, 635 $cm^{-1}$ / are caused by stretching and rocking mode SiH1. The wavenumber of weaker band, 876 $cm^{-1}$ / is due to SiH$_2$ vibration mode. The a-SiN:H has optical bandgap of 2.61 eV, refractive index of 1.8 - 2.0 and resistivity of 10$^{11}$ - 10$^{15}$ aim respectively. Insulating characteristics of ferroelectric is excellent because dielectric constant of ferroelectric is about 60 - 100 and breakdown strength is over 1 MV/cm. TFT using ferroelectric has channel length of 8 - 20 $\mu$m and channel width of 80 - 200 $\mu$m. And it shows drain current of 3 $\mu$A at 20 gate voltages, Ion/Ioff ratio of 10$^{5}$ - 10$^{6}$ and Vth of 4 - 5 volts.

We present the structural, magnetic, and electrical properties in the (Al,Mn)N films with various Mn concentrations grown by plasma-enhanced molecular beam epitaxy. X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that the (Al,Mn)N films have the wurtzite structure without secondary phases. All (Al,Mn)N films showed the ferromagnetic ordering. Particularly, ($Al_{1-x}Mn_{x}$)N film with x = 0.028 exhibited the highest magnetic moment per Mn atom at room temperature. Since all the films exhibit the insulating characteristics, the origin of ferromagnetism in (Al,Mn)N might be attributed to either indirect exchange interaction caused by virtual electron excitations from Mn acceptor level to the valence band within the samples or a percolation of bound magnetic polarons arisen from exchange interaction of localized carriers with magnetic impurities in a low carrier density regime.

In this work, we investigated radiation hardness of GaN-based transistors which are strong candidates for next-generation power electronics. Field effect transistors with three types of gate structures including metal Schottky gate, recessed gate, and p-AlGaN layer gate were fabricated on AlGaN/GaN heterostructure on Si substrate. The devices were irradiated with energetic protons and alpha-particles. The irradiated transistors exhibited the reduction of on-current and the shift of threshold voltage which were attributed to displacement damage by incident energetic particles at high fluence. However, FET operation was still maintained and leakage characteristics were not degraded, suggesting that GaN-based FETs possess high potential for radiation-hardened electronics.

$SiO_2$ insulator layers on InSb have been prepared by remote PECVD system a low temperature below $200^{\circ}C$. The effects of deposition pressure, temperature, and gas flow ratio on the physical and electrical characteristics of the $SiO_2$ were studied. The InSb MIS device using $SiO_2$ was fabricated and measured its current-voltage and capacitance-voltage characteritance-voltage charateristics at 77K. The films evaluated Auger electron spectroscopy showed that composition atoms were distributed uniformaly throughout the oxide film and the outdiffusion of substrate atoms into the oxide were few. The leakage current density of the MIS device was about 6.26nA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 0.75MV/cm , and the breakdown voltage was about 1MV/cm. The interface-stage density at mid-bandgap extracted from 1MHz C-V measurement was $54\times 10^{11}\textrm{cm}^2-2V^{-1}$.

In this study, temperature dependency of current gain for AlGaAs/GaAs/GaAs HBT is analytically proposed over the temperature range between 300K and 600K. Energy bandgap, effective mass, intrinsic carrier concentration are considered as temperature dependent parameters. Collector current which is numerically calculated is then analytically expressed to enhance the speed of calculation for current gain. From the results, current gain decreases as the temperature increases. These results will be used to expect the unity current gain frequency f$_{T}$ in conjunction with emitter-base and collector- base capacitances.s.

In this paper, structual, optical and electrical properties of CdZnS thin films prepared by electron beam evaporation method were studied. The crysta1 structure of CdZnS films deposited was hexagonal type with preferential orientation of the (002) plane parallel to the substrate. The results of optical transmittance of the CdZnS film show that absorption edge is shifted to ZnS and optical bandgap was larger wish increasing ZnS content. The resistivity of the CdZnS film is decreasing with increasing ZnS content and mininum for 20 mole%.

In this work, a Voltage-to-Frequency Converter(VFC) in which the output frequency is proportional to the input voltage is proposed. To obtain the temperature stable characteristics of the VFC circuit is designed by BiCMOS technology. The output frequency range is 24KHz to 65KHz and the difference between simulated and calculated values is less than about 5% for this range of output frequency. The temperature variation of sample output frequencies is less than $\pm$0.5% in the temperature range $-25^{\circ}C$ to 75$^{\circ}C$.

In this paper, a new technique to reduce the phase noise in microwave oscillators is proposed using the resonant characteristics of the Photonic Bandgap(PBG). We applied PBG structure to ground of the microstrip line resonator with the low Q(Quality factor). Therefore, we improved about 10 dBc in contrast to phase noise characteristic of the conventional microstrip line oscillator at 2.4 GHz ＠ 100 MHz offset. Output power is 7.09 dBm.

이번 연구는 system-on-panel에 적용하기 위한 비휘발성 메모리의 전하보유시간 및 메모리 윈도우 특성 향상에 관한 연구이다. 이를 위해 SiO2/SiOX/SiOXNY의 메모리 구조를 이용하였으며, 채널층으로 결정화 온도에 따른 수소화된 미세결정 실리콘-게르마늄을 이용하였다. 채널 층으로 사용된 수소화된 미세결정 실리콘-게르마늄은 비정질 실리콘-게르마늄보다 더 낮은 bandgap과 더 적은 defect density로 인하여 더 향상된 전하보유시간 및 메모리 윈도우를 얻을 수 있었다. 결정화가 거의 이루어지지 않은 실리콘-게르마늄 비휘발성 메모리의 경우 약 4.9V의 메모리 윈도우를 얻을 수 있었다. 반면 300oC에서 약 43.4%의 결정화가 이루어진 실리콘-게르마늄의 메모리 윈도우는 약 5.9V로 약 17%의 향상이 있으며, 10년 후 74.5%의 높은 전하보유시간을 가졌다.
