We fabricated 40 nm-thick cobalt silicide ($CoSi_2$) as a buffer layer, on p-type Si(100) and Si(111) substrates to investigate the possibility of GaN epitaxial growth on $CoSi_2$/Si substrates. We deposited GaN using a HVPE (hydride vapor phase epitaxy) with two processes of process I ($850^{\circ}C$-12 minutes + $1080^{\circ}C$-30 minutes) and process II ($557^{\circ}C$-5 minutes + $900^{\circ}C$-5 minutes) on $CoSi_2$/Si substrates. An optical microscopy, FE-SEM, AFM, and HR-XRD (high resolution X-ray diffractometer) were employed to determine the GaN epitaxy. In case of process I, it showed no GaN epitaxial growth. However, in process II, it showed that GaN epitaxial growth occurred. Especially, in process II, GaN layer showed selfaligned substrate separation from silicon substrate. Through XRD ${\omega}$-scan of GaN <0002> direction, we confirmed that the combination of cobalt silicide and Si(100) as a buffer and HVPE at low temperature (process II) was helpful for GaN epitaxy growth.

High-quality ZnO films were grown on sapphire (001) substrates by the atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) technique using DEZn as a Zinc precusor and $H_2O $ as an oxidant at both $170^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$ which are in the ALE and the CVD process temperature ranges, respectively. The films were annealed in an oxygen atmosphere in the temperature range from 600 to 100$0^{\circ}C$ for an hour and then investigate photoluminescence (PL) properties using He-Cd laser. PL intensity tends to increases as the annealing temperature increase for both the annealed ZnO films grown at $170^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$ , while PL did not nearly occur at the as-deposited ones. The PL intensity of the ZnO film grown at $400^{\circ}C$ is low after it is annealed at high temperature owing to a large number of Zn-Zn bonds although it has increased in the visible light wavelength region after annealing. In contrast the PL intensity has increased significant in the visible light region after annealing

GaAs nanowires were grown on GaAs (111)B substrates in a gas source molecular beam epitaxy system, using self-assembled Au particles with diameters between 25 and 200 nm as the catalytic agents. The growth rate and structure of the nanowires were investigated for substrate temperatures between 500 and $600^{\circ}C$ to study the mass transport mechanisms that drive the growth of these crystals. The possibilities for fabrication of novel magnetic nanostructures by suitable choice of growth conditions are discussed.

The stochiometric mix of evaporating materials for the CuInSe$_2$ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, CuInSe$_2$ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the Hot Wall Epitaxy(HWE) system. The source and substrate temperature were 62$0^{\circ}C$ and 41$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. The crystalline structure of single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXD). The carrier density and mobility of CuInSe$_2$ single crystal thin films measured from Hall effect fby van der Pauw method are 9.62x10$^{16}$ cm$^{-3}$ , 296$\textrm{cm}^2$/V.s at 293 K, respectively. From the photocurrent spectrum by illumination of perpendicular light on the c-axis of the CuInSe$_2$ single crystal thin film we have found that he values of spin orbit splitting ΔSo and the crystal field splitting ΔCr were 6.1 meV and 175.2 meV at 10K, respectively. From the photoluminescence measurement on CuInSe$_2$ single crystal thin film we observed free excition (Ex) existing only high quality crystal and neutral bound exiciton (D$^{\circ}$,X) having very strong peak intensity. Then, the full-width-at-half-maximum(FWHM) and binding energy of neutral donor bound excition were 7meV and 5.9meV, respectivity. by Haynes rule, an activation energy of impurity was 50 meV.

ZnSe/CdSe/ZnSe single quantum wells with different well thickness were grown by hot wall epitaxy. The quantum well thicknesses were measured by TEM. The critical thickness of single quantum well layer was found to be about $9{\AA}$ from the intensities and the full-width at half maximum of photoluminescence(PL) spectra. When the thickness of quantum wells was less than the critical thickness, the Stoke's shift was confirmed from the comparison between PL and photoluminescence excitation spectra, and it may be due to the exciton binding energy. The PL peak energy dependence on the quantum well thickness was coincident with the theoretical values.

A stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for $CdIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, $CdIn_2S_4$ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by hot wall epitaxy(HWE) system. The source and substrate temperatures were $630^{\circ}C$ and $420^{\circ}C$, respectively. After the as-grown $CdIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin films was annealed in Cd-, S-, and In-atmospheres, the origin of point defects of $CdIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin films has been investigated by the photoluminescence(PL) at 10 K. The native defects of $V_{cd}$, $V_s$, $Cd_{int}$, and $S_{int}$, obtained by PL measurements were classified as a donors or acceptors type. And we concluded that the heat-treatment m the S-atmosphere converted $CdIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin films to an optical p-type. Also. we confirmed that In in $CdIn_2S_4$/GaAs did not form the native defects because In in $CdIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin films existed in the form of stable bonds.

A stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for $CuInse_2$ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal electric furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, $CuInse_2$ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the hot wall epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperatures were $620^{\circ}C\;and\;410^{\circ}C$, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $CuInse_2$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_{g}(T)=1.1851 eV - (8.99{\times}10^{-4} eV/K)T^2/(T+153 K)$. After the aa-grown $CuInse_2$ single crystal thin films was annealed in Cu-, Se-, and In-atmospheres, the origin of point defects of $CuInse_2$ single crystal thin films has been investigated by the photoluminescence(PL) at 10 K. The native defects of $V_{cu},\;V_{Se},\;Cu_{int},\;and\;Se_{int}$ obtained by PL measurements were classified as a donors or accepters type. And we concluded that the heat-treatment in the Cu-atmosphere converted $CuInse_2$ single crystal thin films to an optical n-type. Also, we confirmed that In in $CuInse_2$/GaAs did not form the native defects because In in $CuInse_2$ single crystal thin films existed in the form of stable bonds.
