  • We studied a low temperature ion doping process for poly-Si Thin Film Transistor (TFT) on plastic substrates. The ion doping process was performed using an ion shower system, and subsequently, excimer laser annealing (ELA) was done for the activation. We have studied the crystallinity of Si surface at each step using UV-reflectance spectroscopy and the sheet resistance using 4-point probe. We found that the temperature has increased during ion shower doping for a-Si film and the activation has not been fulfilled stably because of the thermal damage against the plastic substrate. By trying newly a pulsed ion shower doping, the ion was efficiently incorporated into the a-Si film on plastic substrate. The sheet resistance decreased with the increase of the pulsed doping time, which was corresponded to the incorporated dose. Also we confirmed a relationship between the crystallinity and the sheet resistance. A sheet resistance of 300 ${\Omega}$/sq for the Si film of 50nm thickness was obtained with a good reproducibility. The ion shower technique is a promising doping technique for ultra low temperature poly-Si TFTs on plastic substrates as well as those on glass substrates.

  • We studied the thermal and electric effect of 2D and 3D p-n photovoltaic diode structures with and without surface texturing. By analyzing the numerical simulation results of I-V characteristics and lattice temperature distributions, we systematically studied the effect of different texturing structures and different doping concentration on the characteristics of the silicon p-n photovoltaic devices. The, efficiency of the device with the surface texturing shows more than ~ 2% enhancement compared to the reference devices without texturing. The tendency of the efficiency of doping concentration has been studied with boron doping of $10^{14}{\sim}10^{17}cm^{-3}$ and phosphorus doping of $10^{15}cm^{-3}$. In addition to that, the study of changing phosphorus doping of $10^{15}{\sim}10^{18}cm^{-3}$ with boron doping of $10^{14}cm^{-3}$ has been examined. It has been shown that the texturing structure not only improves the light trapping but also plays an important role in the heat radiation.

  • Electromigration in molten $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ (GST) was characterized using pulsed DC stress to an isolated line structure. When an electrical pulse was applied to the GST, GST lines were melted by Joule heating, and Ge and Sb atoms migrate to the cathode, whereas Te atoms migrate to the anode. This elemental separation in the molten GST was caused by an electrostatic force-induced electromigration. The effects of O-, N-, and Bi-doping on the electromigration were also investigated, and atomic mobility changes by the doping were investigated by quantifying $DZ^*$ values. The Bi -doping did not affect the $DZ^*$ values of the constituent atoms in the molten GST, but the D$DZ^*$ values decreased by O-doping and N-doping.

  • 산업의 기반이 되는 화석연료의 고갈과 화석연료의 사용으로 야기되는 환경오염 문제로 인하여 새로운 에너지원의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 이러한 시대적 요구에 부흥하고자 신재생 에너지원에 관한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 그중에 태양전지가 가장 주목받고 있다. 그러나 태양전지는 기존 전력 생산 방법에 비해 경제성이 낮아 이를 극복하기 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히 결정질 태양전지에 관한 연구가 가장 활발한데 경제성과 변환효율을 향상시키기 위해 태양전지의 전면에 선택적 doping 형성법이 사용되고 있는데, 선택적 doping 구조의 태양전지는 기존의 태양전지보다 변환효율이 높으면서 양산에서 사용 가능한 구조이기 때문에 경제적 측면에서 더 유리한 구조라 할 수 있다. 하지만 선택적 doping 형성을 위한 실험적인 분석 방법에는 많은 시간과 노력이 필요하며 많은 시행착오를 겪어야 한다. 따라서 이러한 시간과 노력을 줄이고 실험을 하기 이전에 결과를 예측하여 실험의 방향을 제시하고자 TCAD simulation을 이용하여 결정질 태양전지의 전면에 형성한 선택적 doping 농도에 따른 pn 접합 형성 구조와 doping profile에 따른 전기적, 광학적 특성을 예측하고 효과적인 특성을 가질 수 있는 구조를 제시하고자 한다. 선택적 doping의 효과를 확인하기 위해 SR로 각 파장별 양자효율의 변화와 전기적 특성을 분석하여 selective emitter 태양전지에 적합한 pn 접합 형성구조를 제시하고자 한다.

  • 채널 도핑이 다른 비대칭 구조를 갖는 NMOSFET의 게이트 전압에 따른 Drain saturation current (IDSAT), maximum transconductance (GM) 및 threshold voltage (VT)와 같은 다양한 변수를 측정하였고 DAHC (Drain avalanche hot carriers) 스트레스에 따른 특성을 추출하였다. 전기적 특성은 반도체 파라미터 분석기를 사용하여 Probe system에서 진행되었다. 문턱전압은 Normal channel dopoing의 경우 0.67 V, High channel doping의 경우 0.74 V로 High channel doping된 소자가 상대적으로 높은 문턱전압을 보였다. Swing의 경우 Normal channel doping의 경우 87 mV/decade, high channel doping의 경우 92 mV/decade으로 High channel doping된 소자가 더 높은 Swing값을 보였다. 스트레스 인가 후 두 소자 모두 문턱전압이 증가하고 ON-current가 감소하였다. High channel doing된 소자의 경우 Normal channel doping된 소자보다 문턱전압의 증가율과 Current 감소율 측면 모두 스트레스에 더 민감하게 반응하였다. 문턱전압이 서로 다른 비대칭 NMOSFET의 핫 캐리어 특성을 비교, 분석결과 스트레스 인가에 따라 채널 도핑이 높아질수록 드레인과 게이트간의 더 높은 전계가 생겨 게이트 산화막과 Si/SiO2 계면의 손상이 더 발생하였다. 따라서 채널 도핑이 상대적으로 높은 트랜지스터가 핫 캐리어에 의한 계면 트랩 생성 비율이 더 높다는 것을 알 수 있다.

  • Lanthanum oxide was introduced to molybdenum powder by liquid-liquid doping and liquid-solid doping respectively. Mo alloys were prepared by powder metallurgy technology. The size distribution and feature of dopant particles and the fractographs of Mo alloys were investigated by TEM and SEM respectively. The results indicated that liquid-liquid doping method is favorable for refining and dispersing $La_2O_3$ particles uniformly in matrix. Fracture toughness of Mo alloys prepared by liquid-liquid doping showed better results than that of liquid-solid doping. Furthermore, the influences of the size distribution of $La_2O_3$ on properties of Mo alloys was discussed by dislocation pile-up theory.

  • A simple, but effective means of tailoring the physical and chemical properties of carbon materials should be secured. In this sense, chemical doping by incorporating boron or nitrogen into carbon materials has been examined as a powerful tool which provides distinctive advantages over exohedral doping. In this paper, we review recent results pertaining methods by which to introduce boron atoms into the $sp^2$ carbon lattice by means of high-temperature thermal diffusion, the properties induced by boron doping, and promising applications of this type of doping. We envisage that intrinsic boron doping will accelerate both scientific and industrial developments in the area of carbon science and technology in the future.

  • In this study, optical diagnosis of plasma was performed for nitrogen doping in graphene using a horizontal inductively coupled plasma (ICP) system. Graphene was prepared by mechanical exfoliation and the ICP system using nitrogen gas was ignited for plasma-induced and defect-suppressed nitrogen doping. In order to derive the optimum condition for the doping, plasma power, working pressure, and treatment time were changed. Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) was used as plasma diagnosis method. The Boltzmann plot method was adopted to estimate the electron excitation temperature using obtained OES spectra. Ar ion peaks were interpreted as a reference peak. As a result, the change in the concentration of nitrogen active species and electron excitation temperature depending on process parameters were confirmed. Doping characteristics of graphene were quantitatively evaluated by comparison of intensity ratio of graphite (G)-band to 2-D band, peak position, and shape of G-band in Raman profiles. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy also revealed the nitrogen doping in graphene.

  • Delta doping method can separate the threshold voltage control region from the charge transport region in a-Si TFT, whereby the threshold voltage of a TFT could be modified. Threshold voltage could be changed by delta doping, while field effect mobility was estimated to be 80% of that of standard TFT.
