We have investigated the effect of an ion shower doping of the laser annealed poly-Si films at an elevated substrate temperatures. The substrate temperature was varied from room temperature to 300$^{\circ}C$ when the poly-Si film was doped with phosphorus by a non-mass-separated ion shower. Optical, structural, and electrical characterizations have been performed in order to study the effect of the ion showering doping. The sheet resistance of the doped poly-Si films was decreased from7${\times}$106 $\Omega$/$\square$ to 700 $\Omega$/$\square$ when the substrate temperature was increased from room temperature to 300$^{\circ}C$. This low sheet resistance is due to the fact that the doped film doesn't become amorphous but remains in the polycrystalline phase. The mildly elevated substrate temperature appears to reduce ion damages incurred in poly-Si films during ion-shower doping. Using the ion-shower doping at 250$^{\circ}C$, the field effect mobility of 120 $\textrm{cm}^2$/(v$.$s) has been obtained for the n-channel poly-Si TFTs.

The contact mechanism of devices is usually researched at electrode contacts. However, the contact between a dielectric and channel at the MOS structure is more important. The graphene was used as a channel material, and the thin film transistor with MOS structure was prepared to observe the contact mechanism. The graphene was obtained on Cu foil by the thermal decomposition method with $H_2$ and $CH_4$ mixed gases at an ambient annealing temperature of $1000^{\circ}C$ during the deposition for 30 min, and was then transferred onto a $SiO_2/Si$ substrate. The graphene was doped in a nitrogen acidic solution. The chemical properties of graphene were investigated to research the effect of nitric atoms doping. The sheet resistance of graphene decreased after nitrogen acidic doping, and the sheet resistance decreased with an increase in the doping times because of the increment of negative charge carriers. The nitric-atom-doped graphene showed the Ohmic contact at the curve of the drain current and drain voltage, in spite of the Schottky contact of grapnene without doping.

We prepared polythiophene and poly(3-methylthiophene) films, known as conducting polymer, by electrochemical method. Polythiophene and poly(3-methylthiophene) films were doped and undoped dopant for the studing the understanding of doping mechanism and possible application to the color change switch. We observed that the anodic, cathodic wave and absorption spectra were slightly changed during doping and undoping process in polythiophene. It shows that doping and undoping process were showed some difference by the appearance and disappearance of polaron and bi-polaron. In the relation of the peak of oxidative current density and potential sweep rate of cyclic voltammograms, the amount of dopant in polythiophene film was homogeneously increased at low scan rate. This also can be applied to the poly(3-methlythiophene).

LPCVD 방법으로 625.deg.C와 560.deg.에서 증착한 다결정 실리콘에 As이온주입량을 lx$10^{13}$-lx$10^{16}$/$cm^{2}$로 변화시키면서 열처리 전, 후의 미세구조와 전기적 특성 변화를 조사하였다. 625.deg.C에서 증착한 시편은 columnar구조를 하고 있어 표면이 매우 거칠었으며 900.deg.C, 30분 열처리 후에는 As doping 농도에 관계없이 결정립 크기는 200-300.angs.정도였다. 560.deg.C에서 증착한 시편은 비정질 상태로열처리 후에는 1000.angs.이상의 큰 결정립을 갖는 타원형의 결정립으로 성장하였으며 표면이 매우 smooth하였다. 같은 doping 농도에서 전기 전도도와 Hall mobility는 비정질 상태로 증착한 시편이 큰 결정립으로 인하여 다결정 상태로 증착한 시편에 비해 크게 되었다. Grain boundary trapping model에 의해 계산한 potential barrier height는 As doping 농도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였으며 grain boundary trap density는 증착 온도, As doping 농도 및 결정립 크기에 크게 관계없이 3.6~5*$10^{12}$/$cm^{2}$로 측정되었다.

The field of photocatalysis is one of the fastest growing areas both in research and commercial fields. Titanium dioxide is the most investigated semi-conductor material for the photocatalysis applications. Research to achieve $TiO_2$ visible light activation has drawn enormous attentions because of its potential to use solar light. This paper reviews the attempts made to extend its visible photocatalytic activity by carbon doping. Various approaches adopted to incorporate carbon to $TiO_2$ are summarized highlighting the major developments in this active research field. Theoretical features on carbon doping are also presented. Future scenario in the rapidly developing and exciting area is outlined for practical applications with solar light.

Doping process of crystalline silicon solar cell process is very important which is as influential on efficiency of solar. Doping process consists of pre -deposition and diffusion. Each of these processes is important in the process temperature and process time. Through these process conditions variable, p-n junction depth can be controled to low and high. In this paper, we studied a optimized doping pre-deposition temperature for high solar cell efficiency. Using a $200{\mu}m$ thickness multi-crystalline silicon wafer, fixed conditions are texture condition, sheet resistance($50\;{\Omega}/sq$), ARC thickness(80nm), metal formation condition and edge isolation condition. The three variable conditions of pre-deposition temperature are $790^{\circ}C$, $805^{\circ}C$ and $820^{\circ}C$. In the $790^{\circ}C$ pre-deposition temperature, we achieved a best solar cell efficiency of 16.2%. Through this experiment result, we find a high efficiency condition in a low pre-deposition temperature than the high pre-deposition temperature. We optimized a pre-deposition temperature for high solar cell efficiency.

In this paper, we investigated resistance characteristic of chalcogenide material for next generation ReRAM nonvolatile memory device with laser irradiation. A AES is used to test Ag doping ratio into a As-Ge-Se-S thin film. A sample resistance was observed in real time with He-Ne laser(632.8nm). As a result, resistance of thermal treated As-Ge-Se-S thin film was $500{\Omega}$ which is smaller than initial $1.3M{\Omega}$. A resistance of non-treated Ag/As-Ge-Se-S thin film was $200{\Omega}$ which is lower than $35M{\Omega}$.

Reverse annealing was observed in $P^+/B^+$ ion shower doped poly-Si upon activation annealing. Phosphorous or boron was implanted by ion shower doping using a source gas mixture of $PH_3/H_2$ or $B_2H_6/H_2$. Activation annealing was conducted using a tube furnace in the temperature ranges from $350^{\circ}C$ to $650^{\circ}C$. Hall measurement revealed that reverse annealing begins at different annealing temperatures for poly-Si implanted with P and B, respectively. It was observed that reverse annealing starts at $550^{\circ}C$$ in $P^+$ ion shower doped poly-Si, while at $350^{\circ}C$ in the case of B-doping.

Thin films of MgO-doped and CaO-doped iron oxide were prepared y spray pyrolysis. The films were characterized b X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and voltammetric techniques. The photoelectrochemical behavior of thin film electrodes depended greatly on the doping level, sintering temperature, substrate temperature and added photosensitizing compounds in solution, showed p-type photoelectrochemical behavior, while the CaO-doped iron oxide thin films prepared at low temperature showed n-type photoelectrochemical behavior. This characteristic change was interpreted in terms of the surface structure change of the thin films and doping effect of metal oxide.

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.
