수조구조의 InGaN LED 소자에 적용이 가능하며 높은 열적안정성을 갖는 저저항 고반사율 p형 오믹 전극을 개발하였다. Ag에 Mg을 첨가하여 p형 전극을 이용하여 $400^{\circ}C$, 공기중에서 1분간 열처리 후 $2.2\;{\times}\;10^{-5}\;{\Omega}cm^2$의 낮은 접촉 저항을 얻을 수 있었고, 460 nm 파장에서 82.6%의 높은 반사율을 획득할 수 있었다. 이는 Mg가 첨가됨에 따라 Ag가 고온에서 집괴되는 원인인 산소-공공 결합을 줄여줌으로써 높은 열적 안정성을 얻게 되었다. Ag를 열처리 할 경우, 외부에 존재하는 산소가 공공 자리에 들어간 후, 산소와 공공의 강한 인력에 의해 산소가 침입형 자리에 들어가서면서 두개의 공공과 강하게 bonding을 갖는 diffusion center가 많이 존재하게 된다. 하지만 Mg가 첨가되었을 경우, Oxygen affinity가 강한 Mg에 산소가 먼저 결합을 이루면서 산소-공공결합을 줄여주게 되어 높은 온도에서도 diffusion이 이루어지지 않고 높은 열적 안정성을 갖게 된다.

본 연구에서는 비정질 실리콘의 알루미늄 유도 결정화(AIC)가 시도되었다. 결정질 실리콘의 좀 더 큰 입자를 얻기 위해, 선택적인 핵생성(Selective nucleation) 시도는 비정질 실리콘 밑의 실리카($SiO_2$) 층의 습식 파우더 분사 처리와 함께 진행됐다. 또한 니켈 층은 실리콘 원자가 알루미늄 층으로 이동하는 것을 방지하기 위한 확산 방지막(Diffusion barrier)으로 선택되었다. $520^{\circ}C$에서 열처리를 한 후에 XRD 분석을 통해 Si(111) 방향으로 결정화된 결정질 실리콘을 확인했고 니켈은 실리콘과 알루미늄 사이의 확산 방지막으로 매우 효과적인 재료라는 것을 입증하였다. 이 연구는 고성능의 태양전지에 적용하는 결정질 실리콘 막의 좀 더 큰 입자를 얻기 위한 방법 중의 하나라고 기대된다.

Transformation of austenite to martensite during cold rolling has been widely used to strengthen metastable austenitic stainless steel grades. Aging treatment of cold worked metastable austenitic stainless steels, including ${\alpha}'$-martensite phase, results in the further increase of strength, when aging is performed in $200^{\circ}C$ to $450^{\circ}C$ temperature range. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of time and temperature on the stress-strain behavior of cold worked austenitic stainless steels. The amount of ${\alpha}'$-martensite during cold working and aging was examined by ferrite scope and X-ray diffraction (XRD). During aging at $450^{\circ}C$ for 1hr, tensile strength dramatically increased by 150MPa. Deformed metastable austenitic steels containing the "body-centered" ${\alpha}'$-martensite are strengthened by the diffusion of interstitial solute atoms during aging at low temperature.

We showed that the change of Ar to $N_2$flow during the TiN deposition by the reactive sputtering decides the crystallinity of LPCVD W, as well as the electrical properties of the W-TiN/SiO$_2$Si capacitor. In particular, the threshold voltage can be controlled by the Ar to $N_2$ratio. As compared to the results obtained from the LPCVD W/SiO$_2$/Si MOS capacitor, the insertion of approximately 50 nm TiN film effectively prohibits the fluorine diffusion during the deposition and annealing of W films, resulting in negligible leakage currents at the low electric fields.

Niobium doped zirconium oxide (Nb-Zr-O:NZO) thin films were fabricated on Si substrates by a sol-gel technique with an annealing temperatures of $500{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$ in air ($N_2:O_2=3:1$) for 20 minutes. It was found that the NZO film is based on tetragonal $ZrO_2$ polycrystalline structure with the Nb 5+ ion state and there is almost no diffusion of Nb or Zr to Si substrate. The relative dielectric constant for the NZO film with the Nb composition of 30 mol% and annealed at $800^{\circ}C$ was around 40. The root mean roughness was 1.02 nm. In addition, the leakage current of NZO films was as low as $10^{-6}A/cm^2$ at 4.4 V.

We have introduced multifunctional ITO single thin films formed by normal sputtering system equipped with a plasma limiter which effectively blocks the bombardment of energetic negative oxygen ions. MFSS ITO also possesses high gas diffusion barrier properties simultaneously low resistivity even it deposited at room temperature without post annealing on plastic substrate. Nano-crystalline enhancement by Ar energy has energy window from 20 to 30 eV under blocking NOI condition. Effect of blocking NOI and optimal Ar energy window enhancement facilitate that resistivity is minimized to $3.61{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ and the WVTR of 100 nm thick MFSS ITO is $3.9{\times}10^{-3}g/(m^2day)$ which is measured under environmental conditions of 90% relative humidity and 50oC that corresponds to a value of ${\sim}10^{-5}g/(m^2day)$ at room temperature. The multifunctional MFSS ITO with low resistivity, and low gas permeability will be highly valuable for plastic electronics applications.

Phase transformation of TiSi$_2$ confined in sub-micron area of which the size is around or smaller than the grain size of C49 TiSi$_2$ phase is studied. It has been known that the C49 to C54 phase change is massive transformation that occurs abruptly starting from C54 nuclei located at triple point grain boundaries of C49 phase. When the C49 phase is confined in sub-micron area, however, the massive phase transformation is observed to be hindered due to the lack of the triple point grain boundaries of C49 phase. Heat treatment at higher temperatures starts to decompose the C49 phase, and the resulting decomposed Ti atoms diffuse to, and react with, the underneath Si material to form C54 phase that exhibits spherical interface with silicon. The newly formed C54 grains can also trigger the massive phase transformation to convert the remaining undecomposed C49 grains to C54 grains by serving as nuclei like conventional C54 nuclei located at triple point grain boundaries.

Polycrystalline silicon ingots were manufactured using the casting method for polycrystalline silicon solar cells. These ingots were cut into wafers and ten n$^{+}$p type solar cells were made through the following simple process` surface etching, n$^{+}$p junction formation, metalization and annealing. For the grain boundary passivation, the samples were oxidized in O$_2$ for 5 min. at 80$0^{\circ}C$ prior to diffusion in Ar for 100 min. at 95$0^{\circ}C$. The conversion efficiency of polycrystalline silicon solar cells made from these wafers showed about 70-80% of those of the single crystalline silicon solar cell and superior conversion efficiency, compared to those of commercial polycrystalline wafers of Wacker Chemie. The maximum conversion efficiency of our wafers was indicated about 8%(without AR coating) in spite of such a simple fabrication method.

Vertically-aligned $TiO_2$ nanotube electrodes have attracted considerable attention for applications in solar cells, catalysts, and sensors, because of their ideal structure for electron transport and electrolyte diffusion. Here, we prepare vertically-aligned $TiO_2$ nanotube electrodes using a two-step anodization process. The prepared $TiO_2$ nanotube electrodes exhibit uniform pore structures with an inner diameter of ~80-90 nm and wall thickness of ~20-25 nm. In addition, they exhibit an anatase crystal phase after a high-temperature annealing. The annealed $TiO_2$ nanotube electrodes are applied in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) as photoanodes. The fabricated DSSC exhibits conversion efficiencies of 3.46 and 2.15% with liquid- and gel-type electrolytes, respectively.

Continued scaling of MOS devices requires the formation of the ultra shallow and very heavily doped junction. The simulation and experiment results show that the degradation of pMOS performance in logic and SRAM pMOS devices due to the excessive diffusion of the tail and a large amount of dose loss in the extension region. This problem comes from the high-temperature long-time deposition process for forming the spacer and the presence of fluorine which diffuses quickly to the $Si/SiO_{2}$ interface with boron pairing. We have studied the method to improve the pMOS performance that includes the low-energy boron implantation, spike annealing and device structure design using TCAD simulation.
