양자우물의 두께가 다른 4종류의 $In_xGa_{1-x}N(x=0.15)/GaN$ 다중 양자우물 구조의 PL 스펙트럼을 분석하여 InGaN에서의 결정상 분리 현상을 조사하였다. 우물폭이 1.5 nm에서 6.0 nm로 증가함에 따라, PL스펙트럼은 비대칭성이 점점 강해지는 이중 피크의 특성을 나타내었다. 곡선맞춤을 수행하여 분리한 2개의 피크를 분석하여, InGaN 우물에서의 부준위 천이에 해당하는 고에너지 피크의 세기는 줄어드는 반면, 상분리에 의하여 생성된 저에너지 피크의 강도는 점점 강해짐을 볼 수 있었다. 이것은 InGaN 우물에는 In 조성이 다소 다른 2개의 결정상이 존재하여, 우물폭 증가와 함께 InN 상분리가 강해지면서 In 조성이 큰(In-rich) InGaN 결정상이 상대적으로 증대됨을 보여 주는 결과로 해석된다. 우물 두께가 6.0 nm인 시료에서는 저에너지 영역(${\sim}2.0eV$)에서 또 하나의 피크이 관측되었는데, 이것은 GaN에서 잘 알려져 있는 결함에 기인한 황색준위(YB)와 그 근원이 같은 것으로, InN의 상분리가 임계값 이상으로 발달하여 생성된 결함과 관련된 준위인 것으로 해석된다.

This work takes place in the context of the development of a transport phenomena simulation based on group III nitrides. Gallium and boron nitrides (GaN and BN) are both materials with interesting physical properties; they have a direct band gap and are relatively large compared to other semiconductors. The main objective of this paper is to study the effect of boron content on the electron transport of the ternary compound $B_xGa_{(1-x)}N$ and the effect of the temperature of this alloy at x=50% boron percentage, specifically the piezoelectric, acoustic, and polar optical scatterings as a function of the energy, and the electron energy and drift velocity versus the applied electric field for different boron compositions ($B_xGa_{(1-x)}N$), at various temperatures for $B_{0.5}Ga_{0.5}N$. Monte carlo simulation, was employed and the three valleys of the conduction band (${\Gamma}$, L, X) were considered to be non-parabolic. We focus on the interactions that do not significantly affect the behavior of the electron. Nevertheless, they are introduced to obtain a quantitative description of the electronic dynamics. We find that the form of the velocity-field characteristic changes substantially when the temperature is increased, and a remarkable effect is observed from the boron content in $B_xGa_{(1-x)}N$ alloy and the applied field on the dynamics of holders within the lattice as a result of interaction mechanisms.

The binding energy in the n-type $GaAs/Al_xGa_{1-x}As$ quantum well is calculated. The shooting method, modified from the finite difference method, is used for the calculation of the subband energy level and its wave function. In order to account tot the change of the potential energy due to the charged particles, impurities and electrons, the self consistent method is employed. The wave function used for the calculation of the binding energy is assumed to be composed of the envelope function and hydrogenic 1s function. Then, the binding energies calculated by taking into account lot two different types of the hydrogenic 1s function are compared.

반도체-유전체 덮개층의 다양한 조합이 I $n_{0.53}$G $a_{0.47}$As/InGaAsP(Q1.25) 양자우물 무질서화에 미치는 영향을 PL(Photoluminescence)을 이용하여 조사하였다. 청색 편이에 대한 문턱 온도는 약 $750^{\circ}C$ 였으며 전반적으로 온도가 올라감에 따라 청색 편이도 점차 증가하였으나 $SiO_2$의 경우에는 온도가 올라감에 따라 포화되는 경향을 보였다. $SiN_{x}$ 가 $SiO_2$보다 더 큰 청색 편이를 야기하였는데 이것은 $SiN_{x}$의 낮은 성장 온도와 관계가 있는 것으로 생각된다. $SiN_{x}$의 경우 P의 확산이, 그리고 $SiO_2$의 경우 Ga의 확산이 청색 편이에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 여겨진다.겨진다.

MBE법에 의해 성장된 AlxGa1-xAs 에피층의 특성을 photoreflectance(PR) 측정으로 분석하였다. Low power Franz Keldysh(LPFK)를 만족하는 GaAs 완충층에 의한 Frang-Keldysh Oscillation(FKO) 분석에서 띠간격에너지(E0) 값은 1.415eV, 계면 전기장(Ei) 은 1.05$\times$104V/cm, 운반자 농도(Ns)는 $1.3{\times}10^{15}\textrm{cm}^{-3}$이였다. PR상온 스펙트럼 분석에서 Eo(AlxGa1-xAs) 신호 아래 $A^*$피크는 시료 성장시 존재하는 불순물 carbon에 의한 것으로 완충층 GaAs보다 다소 PR신호 세기가 낮고 왜곡된 신호를 나타내었다. 또한, GaAs완충층 의 트랩 특성시간은 약0.086ms정도이며, 1.42eV 부근 두 개의 중첩된 PR신호는 화학적 식 각으로 GaAs의 기판에 의해 나타나는 3차 미분형 신호와 GaAs완충층에 의해 나타나는 FKO신호가 중첩되어 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

Interface recombination velocity in $Al_{x}$G $a_{1-x}$ As-GaAs and $Al_{0.85}$, G $a_{0.15}$ As-GaA $s_{1-y}$S $b_{y}$ heterojunction systems is studied as a function of lattice mismatch. The results are applied to the design of highly efficient III-V heterojunction solar cells. A horizontal liquid-phase epitaxial growth system was used to prepare p-p-p and p-p-n $Al_{x}$G $a_{1-x}$ As-GaA $s_{1-y}$S $b_{y}$-A $l_{x}$G $a_{1-x}$ As double heterojunction test samples with specified values of x and y. Samples were grown at each composition, with different GaAs and GaAs Sb layer thicknesses. A method was developed to obtain the lattice mismatch and lattice constants in mixed single crystals grown on (100) and (111)B oriented GaAs substrates. In the AlGaAs system, elastic lattice deformation with effective Poisson ratios .mu.$_{eff}$ (100=0.312 and .mu.$_{eff}$ (111B) =0.190 was observed. The lattice constant $a_{0}$ (A $l_{x}$G $a_{1-x}$ As)=5.6532+0.0084x.angs. was obtained at 300K which is in good Agreement with Vegard's law. In the GaAsSb system, although elastic lattice deformation was observed in (111) B-oriented crystals, misfit dislocations reduced the Poisson ratio to zero in (100)-oriented samples. When $a_{0}$ (GaSb)=6.0959 .angs. was assumed at 300K, both (100) and (111)B oriented GaAsSb layers deviated only slightly from Vegard's law. Both (100) and (111)B zero-mismatch $Al_{0.85}$ G $a_{0.15}$As-GaA $s_{1-y}$S $b_{y}$ layers were grown from melts with a weight ratio of $W_{sb}$ / $W_{Ga}$ =0.13 and a growth temperature of 840 to 820 .deg.C. The corresponding Sb compositions were y=0.015 and 0.024 on (100) and (111)B orientations, respectively. This occurs because of a fortuitous in the Sb distribution coefficient with orientation. Interface recombination velocity was estimated from the dependence of the effective minority carrier lifetime on double-heterojunction spacing, using either optical phase-shift or electroluminescence timedecay techniques. The recombination velocity at a (100) interface was reduced from (2 to 3)*10$^{4}$ for y=0 to (6 to 7)*10$^{3}$ cm/sec for lattice-matched $Al_{0.85}$G $a_{0.15}$As-GaA $s_{0.985}$S $b_{0.015}$ Although this reduction is slightly less than that expected from the exponential relationship between interface recombination velocity and lattice mismatch as found in the AlGaAs-GaAs system, solar cells constructed from such a combination of materials should have an excellent spectral response to photons with energies over the full range from 1.4 to 2.6 eV. Similar measurements on a (111) B oriented lattice-matched heterojunction produced some-what larger interface recombination velocities.ities.ities.s.

A $Pt/Al_xGa_{l-x}N$ Schottky type Ultra-violet photodetector was modeled and simulated using the commercial SILVACO software program. In the carrier transport, we applied field model and other analytic model to determine the electron saturation velocity and low field mobility for GaN and $Al_xGa_{l-x}N$. A C-Interpreter function was defined to described the mole-fraction for the ternary compound semiconductor such as $Al_xGa_{l-x}N$. As comparing the simulated and experimental results, we found that the simulated result for type-1 has $15.9 nA/cm^2$ of leakage current at 5V. We confirmed a good agreement of photo-current in the UV Photo-detector, while applying the absorption coefficient and reflective index of active $Al_xGa_{l-x}N$ and other layers. There had been an intensive search for the proper refractive indices of the layers.

Crystallographic and magnetic properties of ;$LaFe_{1-x}Ga_xO_3$($\chi$= 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7) were studied using XRD and Mossbauer spectroscopy. The crystal structures were found to be orthorhombic and the lattice parameters $\alpha$, b, and c were found to decrease with increasing Ga substitution. M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectra were obtained at various absorber temperatures ranging from 20 K to 750 K. The M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectra were all sextets below $T_N$ and were all singlets above $T_N$. Asymmetric broadening of the M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectral lines at 20 K was explained by the multitude of possible environments for an iron nucleus. As the temperature increases to $T_N$, a systematic line broadening in M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectra was observed and interpreted to originate from different temperature dependencies of the magnetic hyperfine fields at various iron sites.

We calculated the drift-velocities of electrons and holes of I $n_{0.53}$(A $l_{x}$G $a_{1-x}$ )$_{0.47}$As, which is used for semiconductor materials of high performance HBTs, along with the various doping concentrations and Al mole fractions as well as the electric fields by Monte Carlo experiment. Especially, for the valence bands the accuracy of hole-drift-velocity was improved in the consideration of intervalley scattering due to the inelastic scattering of acoustic phonon. From the results the empirical formulas of the low- and high field mobility of electrons and holes were extracted by using nonlinear least square fitting method. The accuracy of the formulas was proved by comparing the formula of low-field electron mobility as well as drift-velocity of I $n_{0.53}$ G $a_{0.47}$As and of low-field hole mobility of GaAs with the measured values, where the error was below 10%. For the high-field mobilities of electron and hole the results calculated by the formulas were very well matched with the MC experimental results except at the narrow field range where the electrons produced the velocity overshoot and the corresponding error was about 30%.0%. 30%.0%.

The continuum elasticity model is applied to investigate quantitatively the growth features and nucleation mechanism of quantum dots, nanopits, and joint QDs-nanopits structures in GaInAlN quasyternary systems. We have shown that for GaInAlN material system at the critical strain of ${\varepsilon}^*=0.039$ the sign of critical energy and volume is changed. We assume that at ${\varepsilon}={\varepsilon}^*$ the mechanism of the nucleation is changed from the growth of quantum dots to the nucleation of nanopits. Obviously, at small misfit (${\varepsilon}$ < ${\varepsilon}^*$), the bulk nucleation mechanism dominates. However, at ${\varepsilon}$ > ${\varepsilon}^*$, when the energy barrier becomes negative as well as a larger misfit provides a low-barrier path for the formation of dislocations, the nucleation of pits becomes energetically preferable. The free energy of mixing for $Ga_{1-x-y}In_xAl_yN$ quasiternary system was calculated and studied and its 3D sketch was plotted.
