The growth of GaN on Si is of great interest due to the several advantages : low cost, large size and high-quality wafer availability as well as its matured technology. The crystal quality of GaN is known to be much influenced by the surface pretreatment of Si substrate[1]. In this work, the properties of GaN overlayer grown on ion beam modified Si(111) have been investigated. Si(111) surface was treated RIB with 1KeV-N$_2$$\^$+/(at 1.9 ${\times}$ 10$\^$-5/) to dose ranging from 5${\times}$10$\^$15/ to 1${\times}$10$\^$17/ prior to film growth. GaN epilayers were grown at 1100$^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour after growing AlN buffer layers for 5∼30 minutes at 1100$^{\circ}C$ in Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD). The properties of GaN epilayers were evaluated by X-Ray Diffraction(XRD), Raman spectroscopy, Photoluminescence(PL) and Hall measurement. The results showed that the ion modified treatment markedly affected to the structural, optical and electrical characteristic of GaN layers.

The growth of GaN on Si is of great interest due to the several advantages low cost, large size and high-quality wafer availability as well as its matured technology. The crystal quality of GaN is known to be much influenced by the surface pretreatment of Si substrate [1]. In this work, the properties of GaN overlayer grown on ion implanted Si(111)and bare Si(111) have been investigated. Si(111) surface was treated ion implantation with 60KeV and dose 1${\times}$10$\^$16//$\textrm{cm}^2$ prior to film growth. GaN epilayers were grown at 1100$^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour after growing AlN buffer layers for 15-30 minutes at 1100$^{\circ}C$ with metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The properties of GaN epilayers were evaluated by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM) Photoluminescence (PL) at room temperature and Hall measurement The results showed that the GaN on ion implanted Si(111) markedly affected to the structural, optical and electrical characteristic of GaN layers.

Epitaxial ($11{\bar{2}}0$) a-plane GaN films were grown on a ($1{\bar{1}}02$) R-plane sapphire substrate with photoresist (PR) masks using metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The PR mask with striped patterns was prepared using an ex-situ lithography process, whereas carbonization and heat treatment of the PR mask were carried out using an in-situ MOCVD. The heat treatment of the PR mask was continuously conducted in ambient $H_2/NH_3$ mixture gas at $1140^{\circ}C$ after carbonization by the pyrolysis in ambient $H_2$ at $1100^{\circ}C$. As the time of the heat treatment progressed, the striped patterns of the carbonized PR mask shrank. The heat treatment of the carbonized PR mask facilitated epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELO) of a-plane GaN films without carbon contamination on the R-plane sapphire substrate. Thhe surface morphology of a-plane GaN films was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The structural characteristics of a-plane GaN films on an R-plane sapphire substrate were evaluated by ${\omega}-2{\theta}$ high-resolution X-ray diffraction. The a-plane GaN films were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to determine carbon contamination from carbonized PR masks in the GaN film bulk. After $Ar^+$ ion etching, XPS spectra indicated that carbon contamination exists only in the surface region. Finally, the heat treatment of carbonized PR masks was used to grow high-quality a-plane GaN films without carbon contamination. This approach showed the promising potential of the ELO process by using a PR mask.

The epitaxial GaN layer of $120{\mu}m$ ~ $300{\mu}m$ thickness with a stripe Ti mask pattern is performed by hydride vapor phase epitaxy(HVPE). Ti strpie mask pattern is deposited by DC magnetron sputter on GaN epitaxial layer of $3{\mu}m$ thickness is grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy(HVPE). Void are observed at point of Ti mask pattern when GaN layer is investigated by scanning electron microscope. The Crack of GaN layer is observed according to void when it is grown more thick GaN layer. The full width at half maximum of peak which is measured by X-ray diffraction is about 188 arcsec. It is not affected its crystallization by Ti meterial when GaN layer is overgrown on Ti stripe mask pattern according as it is measure FWHM of overgrowth GaN using Ti material against FWHM of first growth GaN epitaxial layer.

We have enhanced the yield of 0.25 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ T-gate $Al_{0.25}$G $a_{0.75}$As/I $n_{0.2}$G $a_{0.8}$As P-HEMT using three-layer E-beam lithography process and selective etching process. The three-layer resist structure (PMMA/copolymer/ PMMA=2000 $\AA$/3000 $\AA$/2000 $\AA$) and three developers (Benzene：IPA=1：1,Methanol：IPA =1：1,MIBK：IPA=1：3) were used for fabrication of a wide-head T-gate by the conventional double E-beam exposure technology. Also 1 wt% citric acid： $H_2O$$_2$：N $H_{4}$OH(200m1：4ml：2.2ml) solution were used for uniform gate recess. The etching selectivity of GaAs over $Al_{0.25}$G $a_{0.75}$As is measured to be 80. So these P-HEMT processes can be used in X-band MMIC LNA fabrication.ion.ion.ion.

Self-alignment gatc Schottky contact structure on Si- implanted GaAs was formed by plasma enhanced chemical vapor dcposirion. Tungsten nitride thin films (ahclut 1600$\AA$) \vcre dopositcd on GaAs at $350^{\circ}C$ in order to fahricarc GaAs 1Cs and ttwn rapidly annealed at $750^{\circ}C$ to $900^{\circ}C$. Thermal charac tcristics of PECVD)-$W_{67}N_{43}$/GaAs structure were investigated by X-ray diffraction, photolumintesccnce. and optical deep level transient specrroscopy. Results revealed that $W_{67}N_{33}$ gate was more thermally sta ble with GaAs substrate than W gate and Si atoms implanted In $W_{67}N_{33}$/GaAs structure became morr active than those In W/GaAs after annealing. I-V characteristics of $W_{67}N_{33}$/GaAs diod c exhibired a nearly ideal diode behavior. The termal stability of $W_{67}N_{33}$/GaAs diode was better than that of W/GaAs diode with the post annealing at temperatures from 800 to $900^{\circ}C$ for 20s without As overpressure.

A $1\;{\mu}m$ thick n-type GaAs layer with Si doping density of $1{\times}10^{17}/cm^{3}$ and a $500{\AA}$ thick undoped single crystalline AlAs layer were subsequently grown by molecular beam epitaxy on the $n^{+}$ GaAs substrate. The AlAs/GaAs layer was oxidized in $N_{2}$ bubbled $H_{2}O$ vapor($95^{\circ}C$) ambient at $400^{\circ}C$ for 2 and 3 hours. From the result of XPS analysis, small amounts of $As_{2}O_{3}$, AlAs, and elemental As were found in the samples oxidized up to 2 hours. After 3 hours oxidation, however, various oxides related to As were dissolved and As atoms were diffused out toward the oxide surface. The as-grown AlAs/GaAs layer was selectively converted to $Al_{2}O_{3}/GaAs$ at the oxidation temperature $400^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. The oxidation temperature and time is very critical to stop the oxidation at the AlAs/GaAs interface and to form a defect-free surface layer.

The effect of co-sputtering condition on the structural properties of $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin films grown by RF magnetron co-sputtering system was investigated for manufacturing ZnO/MgZnO structure LED. $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin films were grown with ZnO and MgO target varying RF power. Structural properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The ZnO thin films have sufficient crystallinity on the high RF power. As RF power of ZnO target increased, the contents of MgO in the $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ film decreased. LED was manufactured using ZnO/MgZnO multi-layer on p-GaN/$Al_2O_3$ substrate. Threshold voltage of multi-layer LED was appeared at 8 V, and it was luminesced at wave length of 550 nm.

Tunneling field-effect transistors (TFETs) are very applicable to low standby-power application by their virtues of low off-current ($I_{off}$) and small subthreshold swing (S). However, low on-current ($I_{on}$) of silicon-based TFETs has been pointed out as a drawback. To improve $I_{on}$ of TFET, a gate-all-around (GAA) TFET based on III-V compound semiconductor with InAs/InGaAs/InP multiple-heterojunction structure is proposed and investigated. Its performances have been evaluated with the gallium (Ga) composition (x) for $In_{1-x}Ga_xAs$ in the channel region. According to the simulation results for $I_{on}$, $I_{off}$, S, and on/off current ratio ($I_{on}/I_{off}$), the device adopting $In_{0.53}Ga_{0.47}As$ channel showed the optimum direct-current (DC) performance, as a result of controlling the Ga fraction. By introducing an n-type InGaAs thin layer near the source end, improved DC characteristics and radio-frequency (RF) performances were obtained due to boosted band-to-band (BTB) tunneling efficiency.
