  • N type single crystal CdTe is grown by doping Gallium as 0.01 percent, by using zone melting method. And also p type CdTe is grown by doping Ag, Sb, and Te as 0.01%. Resistivity and Concentration of the n.p type single crystal are measured. And then Li ions are implanted on the n type CdTe by high voltage accellerator with different amount of impurity. Indium is evaporated on the p type in high vacuum condition. These sample are heated so as to make P-N Junction in Argon gas flow. Electrical properties for solar cell are investigated. Photovoltage and current are found to be varyed according to following factor: 1) amount of impurity 2) diffusion thickness 3) temperature and time for making P-N junction. Efficiency of the P-N Junction evaporated Indium is 6.5 when it is heated at 380.deg. C for 15 minutie.

  • ZnO thin films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering and then diffused by using an As source in the ampouletube. Also, the ZnO p-n homojunction was made by using As-doped ZnO thin films, and its properties were analyzed. After the As doping, the surface roughness increased, the crystal quality deteriorated, and the full width at half maximum was increased. The As-doped ZnO thin films showed typical p-type properties, and their resistivity was as low as $2.19{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$, probably because of the in-diffusion from an external As source and out-diffusion from the GaAs substrate. Also, the ZnO p-n junction displayed the typical rectification properties of a p-n junction. Therefore, the As diffusion method is effective for obtaining ZnO films with p-type properties.

  • Using a ceramic target ZnO:In with In doping concentration of 2%, hetero-junctions of n-ZnO:In/p-Si and p-ZnO:(In, N)/n-Si were fabricated by depositing Indium doped n - type ZnO (ZnO:In or IZO) and Indium-nitrogen co-doped p - type ZnO (ZnO:(In, N)) films on wafers of p-Si (100) and n-Si (100) by DC magnetron sputtering, respectively. These films with the best electrical and optical properties were then obtained. The micro-structural, optical and electrical properties of the n-type and p-type semiconductor thinfilms were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), RBS, UV-vis; four-point probe resistance and room-temperature Hall effect measurements, respectively. Typical rectifying behaviors of p-n junction were observed by the current-voltage (I-V) measurement. It shows fairly good rectifying behavior with the fact that the ideality factor and the saturation current of diode are n=11.5, Is=1.5108.10-7 (A) for n-ZnO:In/p-Si hetero-jucntion; n=10.14, Is=3.2689.10-5 (A) for p-ZnO:(In, N)/n-Si, respectively. These results demonstrated the formation of a diode between n-type thin film and p-Si, as well as between p-type thin film and n-Si..

  • Fabrication of p-type ZnO has already proven difficult and usually inconsistent despite numerous worldwide efforts. Many research groups studied electrical and optical properties P, Li, As, N single doped ZnO thin film. In P-doped ZnO thin film, the reproducibility of p-type conduction with $P_2O_5$ as a dopant source was shown to be relatively poor. In this study, we made P single doped and Li & P co-doped ZnO target. To investigate electrical and optical properties of P single doped and Li & P co-doped ZnO thin film using $P_2O_5$ and $Li_3PO_4$ dopant source respectively was deposited by PLD. The growth temperature was changed 500, $700^{\circ}C$ and various oxygen partial pressure and post-annealing conditions was changed temperature, different gas ambient($O_2,N_2$). We investigate that how to change electrical and optical properties as function of growth temperature, oxygen partial pressure and post-annealing(RTA).

  • We report the preparation of N doped, p-type ZnO films by post-annealing in $NH_3$ ambient. The properties were examined by XRD, Hall-effect measurement, PL, and SIMS. ZnO films showed better crystallinity and electron concentration of $10^{15}-10^{17}/cm^3$ with post-annealing in $NH_3$ ambient. These films were converted to p-type ZnO by activation thermal annealing process at $800^{\circ}C$ under $N_2$ ambient. The electrical properties of the p-type ZnO showed a hole concentration of $1.06\times10^{16}/cm^3$, a mobility of $15.8cm^2/V{\cdot}s$, and a resistivity of $40.18\Omega{\cdot}cm$. The N doped ZnO films showed a strong photoluminescence peak at 3.306 eV at 13 K, which is closely related to neutral acceptor bound excitons of the p-type ZnO:N. In the SIMS spectra, the incorporation of nitrogen was confirmed.

  • We report microbolometer characteristic with n-type and p-type amorphous silicon thin film. The n-type and p-type amorphous silicon thin films were made by PECVD. The electrical properties of n-type and p-type a-Si:H thin films were investigated as a function of doping gas flow rate. The doping gas used $B_2H_6/Ar$ (1:9) and $PH_3/Ar$ (1:9). In general, the conductivity of doping a-Si:H thin films increased as doping gas increase but the conductivity of a-Si:H thin films decreased as the doping gas increase because doping gas concentration increase led to dilution gas (Ar) increase as the same time. We fabricated an amorphous silicon microbolometer using surface micromachining technology. The fabricated microbolometer had a negative TCR of 2.3%. The p-type microbolometer had responsivity of $5{\times}10^4V/W$ and high detectivity of $3{\times}10^8cm(Hz)^{1/2}/W$. The p-type microbolometer had more detectivity than n-type for less noise value.

  • ZnO has intensively attracted interest for the next generation of short wavelength LEDs and semiconductor lasers. However, for the development and application of the devices based on this material, the fabrication of p-type ZnO thin films is pivotal. Generally, the process of preparation of ZnO is unavoidably accompanied by the natural donor ions such as interstitial Zn ions and oxygen vacancy ions that show n-type electrical property and make fabrication of p-type ZnO to be a hard problem. On this study, to realize stable high-quality p-type ZnO thin films, the undoped ZnO thin films were diffused with P in vapor state. The ZnO:P thin films showed high-quality p-type properties electrically and optically.

  • The realization and origin of p-type ZnO are main issue for photoelectronic devices based on ZnO material. N-doped and nominally undoped p-type ZnO films were achieved on silicon (100) and homo-buffer layers by RF magnetron sputtering and post in-situ annealing. The undoped film shows high hole mobility of 1201 $cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ and low resistivity of $0.0454\Omega{\cdot}cm$ with hole concentration of $1.145\times10^{17}cm^{-3}$. The photoluminescence(PL) spectra show the emissions related to FE, DAP and defects of $V_{Zn}$, $V_O$, $Zn_O$, $O_i$ and $O_{Zn}$.

  • For feasible study of opto-electrical application regarding to oxide semiconductor, we implemented the N doped ZnO growth using a atomic layer deposition technique. The p-type ZnO deposition, necessary for ZnO-based optoelectronics, has considered to be very difficulty due to sufficiently deep acceptor location and self-compensating process on doping. Various sources of N such as $N_2$, $NH_3$, NO, and $NO_2$ and deposition techniques have been used to fabricate p-type ZnO. Hall measurement showed that p-type ZnO was prepared in condition with low deposition temperature and dopant concentration. From the evaluation of photoluminescence spectroscopy, we could observe defect formation formed by N dopant. In this paper, we exhibited the electrical and optical properties of N-doped ZnO thin films grown by atomic layer deposition with $NH_3OH$ doping source.

  • Thermoelectric properties of p-type SiGe alloys prepared by a RF inductive furnace were investigated. Non-doped Si80Ge20 alloys were fabricated by control of the quantity of volatile Ge. The carrier of p-type SiGe alloy was controlled by B-doping. B doped p-type SiGe alloys were synthesized by melting the mixture of Ge and Si containing B. The effects of sintering/annealing conditions and compaction pressure on thermoelectric properties (electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient) were investigated. For nondoped SiGe alloys, electrical conductivity increased with increasing temperatures and Seebeck coefficient was measured negative showing a typical n-type semiconductivity. On the other hand, B-doped SiGe alloys exhibited positive Seebeck coefficient and their electrical conductivity decreased with increasing temperatures. Thermoelectric properties were more sensitive to compaction pressure than annealing time. The highest power factor obtained in this work was 8.89${\times}$10-6J/cm$.$K2$.$s for 1 at% B-doped SiGe alloy.
