Using low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), we have developed selectively area epitaxy (SAE). Using the developed SAE technology, we have grown AlGaAs/GaAs multi layers and InGaAs/GaAs quantum wire structures on the selectively $SiO_2$ masked GaAs substrates. We have obtained triangular shaped AlGaAs/GaAs and InGaAs/GaAs structures with sharp tips and smooth sidewalls. To rod the optimum conditions, several growth parameters such as growth rate, V/III ratio, growth temperature, and direction of the opening stripes were investigated. The emission peak from quantum wires was observed at 975 nm. With increasing of temperature the emission intensity from side wall quantum wells decreased abruptly. But the intensity from Quantum wires decreased slowly compared to that of side wall quantum wells and it became even stronger from above 50 K.

We have investigated the effect of the experimental variables such as temperature and pressure on conformality of Co films deposited over high aspect ratio trenches using $Co_2(CO)_8$ as a precursor. The results show that the conformality of Co films is a strong function of temperature and process pressure. Lowering the pressure and temperature significantly improves the conformality. As the pressure decreases from 0.6 Torr to 0.2 Torr at $50^{\circ}C$, the bottom coverage of Co films over $0.2{\mu}m$ width trenches with an aspect ratio of 13 to 1 significantly increases to 85%. However, further increasing the temperature from 50 to $60^{\circ}C$ at the pressure of 0.2 Torr degrades the bottom coverage to 14%. In contrast, the extremely low pressure of 0.03 Torr allows the excellent conformal deposition of Co films up to $70^{\circ}C$. This can be attributed to the suppression of homogeneous reaction in the gas phase, which can create the intermediate products with high sticking coefficient. In addition, the Co films deposited at $50^{\circ}C$ show the low resistivity with negligible contamination. As a result, the newly developed Co process using MOCVD can be implemented into the next generation devices with complex shapes.

In this paper, the time evolution of undoped GaN epilayers on a low-temperature GaN buffer layer grown on c-plane sapphire at a low pressure of 300 Torr was studied via a two-step growth condition in a horizontal MOCVD reactor. As a function of the growth time at a high-temperature, the surface morphology, structural quality, and optical and electrical properties were investigated using atomic force microscopy, high-resolution x-ray diffraction, photoluminescence, and Hall effect measurement, respectively. The root-mean-square roughness showed a drastic decrease after a certain period of surface roughening probably due to the initial island growth. The surface morphology also showed the island coalescence and the subsequent suppression of three-dimensional island nucleation. The structural quality of the GaN epilayer was improved with increasing growth time considering the symmetrical (002) and asymmetrical (102) rocking curves. The variations of room-temperature photoluminescence, background carrier concentration, and Hall mobility were measured and discussed.

Recently, the nanowire configuration of GST showed nanosecond-level phase switch at very low power dissipation, suggesting that the nanowires could be ideal for data storage devices. In spite of many advantages of IST materials, their feasibility in both thin films and nanowires for electronic memories has not been extensively investigated. The synthesis of the chalcogenide nanowires was mainly preformed via a vapor transport process such as vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth at a high temperature. However, in this study, IST nanowires as well as thin films were prepared at a low temperature (${\sim}250^{\circ}C$) by metal organic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD) method, which is possible for large area deposition. The IST films and/or nanowires were selectively grown by a control of working pressure at a constant growth temperature by MOCVD. In-Sb-Te NWs will be good candidate materials for high density PRAM applications. And MOCVD system is powerful for applying ultra scale integration cell.

The effect of neutral ligand(L) on the precursor characteristics of (hfac)Cu(I)-L and on Cu MOCVD Process was studied. The neutral ligands of (hac)Cu(I)-L$_{x}$, such as ATMS(allytrimethylsilane), VTMS(vinyltrimethylsilane), VCH(vinylcyclohexane), MP(4-methyl-1-pentene), ACP(allylcyclopentane), and DMB(3,3-dimethyl-1-butene) were investigated. When the dissociation temperature of Cu(I)-L bond is low, low temperature deposition below $100^{\circ}C$ is possible and the resistivity of the film is low. But thermal stability of the precursor is low in this case. The resistivity is almost the same regardless of L at the deposition temperature range of $125~175^{\circ}C$. The resistivity is increased as the molecular weight of L becomes higher above $225^{\circ}C$ The vapor pressure of the precursor was closely related to the boiling point of L, the lower the boiling point of L, the higher the vapor pressurere.

In order to elucidate the crystallographic orientation dependence of electrical properties of carbon (C)-doped GaAs epilayers, C incorporation into GaAs epilayers on high-index GaAs substrates with various crystallographic orientations from (100) to (111)A has been performed by a low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition using C tetrabromide ($CBt_4$) as a C source. The hole concentration of C-doped GaAs epilayers rapidly decreases with a hump at (311)A with increasing the offset angle. Although the growth temperature and the V/III ratio are varied, the crystallographic orientation dependence of hole concentration show a same trend. The above behaviors indicate that the bonding strength of As sites on a glowing surface plays an important role in the C incorporation into the high-index GaAs substrates.

Al2O3 thin films were deposited on Si-wafer (100) using organo-aluminum compounds at low pressure by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. The vapor of the organo-metallic precursor was carried by pure N2 gas. The deposition rate increased and then saturated as Tsub increased with increasing the AIP flow rate. The main contamination didn't found in deposited films except carbon. The H-O(H2O) IR absorption band decreased in intensity as the deposition temperature increased, and completely disappeared through annealing.
