Flexible CIGS thin film solar cell was fabricated using STS430 plate as a flexible substrate in this work. A diffusion barrier layer of $SiO_2$ thin film was deposited on STS430 substrate by PECVD followed by deposition of double layered Mo back contact. After depositing CIGS absorber layer by co-evaporation, CdS buffer layer by chemical bath deposition, ZnO window layer by RF sputtering and Al electrode by thermal evaporation, the solar cell fabrication processes were completed and its performance was evaluated. Corresponding solar cell showed an conversion efficiency of 8.35 % with $V_{OC}$ of 0.52 V, $J_{SC}$ of 26.06 mA/$cm^2$ and FF of 0.61.

DC characteristics of recessed gate 4H-SiC MESFET were investigated using the device/circuit simulation tool, PISCES. Results of theoretical calculation were compared with the experimental data for the extraction of modeling parameters which were implemented for the prediction of DC and gate leakage characteristics at high temperatures. The current-voltage analysis using a fixed mobility model revealed that the short channel effect is influenced by the defects in SiC. The incomplete ionization models are found out significant physical models for an accurate prediction of SiC device performance. Gate leakage is shown to increase with the device operation temperatures and to decrease with the Schottky barrier height of gate metal.

Natural clays are composed of oxide layers whose thickness is about 1nm and cations existing between the layers. A number of these layers makes primary particles with a height of about 8∼10nm and these primary particles make aggregates with a size of about 0.1∼10$\mu\textrm{m}$. When layered silicate was made to be organophilic, by exchanging the interlayer cations with organic cationic molecules, the matrix polymer can penetrate between the layers to give a nanocomposite, where 1nm-scal clay layers exist separately in a continuous polymer matrix. These nanostructured hybrid organic-inorganic composites have attracted the great interest of researchers over the last 10 years. They exhibit improved performance properties compared with conventional composites, because their unique phase morphology by layer intercalation or exfoliation maximizes interfacial contact between the organic and inorganic phases and enhances interfacial properties. Since the advent of nylon-6/montmorillonite nanocomposite developed by Toyota Motor Co., the studies on layered silicate-polymer nanocomposites have been successfully extended to other polymer systems. They greatly improved the thermal, mechanical, barrier, and even the flame-retardant properties of the polymers.

A high-responsive Schottky device has been achieved by forming a thin metal deposition on a Si substrate. Two-different metals of Ni and Ag were used as a Schottky metal contact with a thickness about 10 nm. The barrier height formation between metal and Si determines the rectifying current profiles. Ag-embedding Schottky device gave an extremely high response of 17,881 at a wavelength of 900 nm. An efficient design of Schottky device may applied for photoelectric devices, including photodetectors and solar cells.

We have fabricated Cr nanodot Schottky diodes utilizing AAO templates formed on n-Si substrates. Three different sizes of Cr nanodots (about 75.0, 57.6, and 35.8 nm) were obtained by controlling the height of the AAO template. Cr nanodot Schottky diodes showed a rectifying behavior with low SBHs of 0.17~0.20 eV and high ideality factors of 5.6~9.2 compared to those for the bulk diode. Also, Cr nanodot Schottky diodes with smaller diameters yield higher current densities than those with larger diameters. These electrical behaviors can be explained by both Schottky barrier height (SBH) lowering effects and enhanced tunneling current due to the nanoscale size of the Schottky contact. Also, we have fabricated Cr-Si nanorod Schottky diodes with three different lengths (130, 220, and 330 nm) by dry etching of n-Si substrate. Cr-Si nanorod Schottky diodes with longer nanorods yield higher reverse current than those with shorter nanorods due to the enhanced electric field, which is attributed to a high aspect ratio of Si nanorod.

We have investigated the formation and thermal stability of cobalt aluminide(CoAl) thin films on GaAs. In order to obtain cobalt-aluminide thin films, we deposited a multilayer of Co/Al on GaAs, and subsequently annealed the samples at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. After annealing, single-phase cobalt aluminide was produced showing a flat and uniform interface with GaAs. which indicates that cobalt aluminide (CoAl) is thermally stable with GaAs. In addition, the adherence and mechanical properties of the as-deposited, and annealed Co/Al multilayer structure on GaAs are compatible with those required for device fabrication processes. The electrical property of the CoAl/GaAs contact shows rectifying characteristics, indicating that the diodes were usable as rectifying gate electrodes.

This paper describe the fabrication of a Pd/polycrystalline 3C-SiC schottky diode and its characteristics, in which the polycrystalline 3C-SiC layer and Pd Schottky contact were deposited by using APCVD and sputter, respectively. Crystalline quality, uniformity, and preferred orientations of the Pd thin film were evaluated by SEM and XRD, respectively. Pd/poly 3C-SiC Schottky diodes were fabricated and characterized by I-V and C-V measurements. Its electric current density Js and barrier height voltage were measured as $2\times10^{-3}$ A/$cm^2$ and 0.58 eV, respectively. These devices were operated until about $400^{\circ}C$. Therefore, from these results, Pd/poly 3C-SiC Schottky devices have very high potential for high temperature chemical sensor applications.

5 MeV proton-irradiation with total dose of $10^{15}/cm^2$ was performed on AlGaN/GaN-on-Si high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) with various gate metals including Ni, TaN, W, and TiN to investigate the degradation characteristics. The positive shift of pinch-off voltage and the reduction of on-current were observed from irradiated HEMTs regardless of a type of gate materials. Hall and transmission line measurements revealed the reduction of carrier mobility and sheet charge concentration due to displacement damage by proton irradiation. The shift of pinch-off voltage was dependent on Schottky barrier heights of gate metals. Gate leakage and capacitance-voltage characteristics did not show any significant degradation demonstrating the superior radiation hardness of Schottky gate contacts on GaN.

The relationship between oxidation and sliding wear behavior of Fe-28 at%. Al alloys with B2 ordered structure has been investigated. Sliding wear tests of the alloys have been carried out under various environmental conditions using a pin-on-disk wear tester. The wear rate of the ordered alloys in an oxygen atmoshpere was found to be much lower than in an oxygen atmosphere showed that Fe2O oxides formed on the wearing surface. The oxide layer prevented direct contact of the two mating materials and therefore improved wear resistance of the Fe-Al intermetallic alloy. It was found that the surface Al2O3 oxide layer which provides good oxidation resistance and improved mechanical properties broke down easily and didnot function properly as an oxidation barrier.

A key technology for achieving commercial Nb_{3}$Sn superconducting wires may be driven from fabrication process of big-scale billets. There was no breakage in the strand that was constituted with annealed sub-element. It was need that billet had to treat HIP because of remove of voids and good contact between Cu and Nb filaments. Ta wound sheet was better than Ta tube for barrier in the strand.
