The use of reflection high energy electron diffraction and reflection electron microscopy technique has been increased with increasing number of studieds on surfaces of single crystals and epitaxial growth layers. Here, the speciment preparation techniques are summerized for these two techniques which are not so polular in the country. The panoramic reflection high energy electron diffraction maps have been completed and an example of Pt(111) surface was demonstrated.

The growth interruption effects on growth mode of the GaAs and AlGaAs epitaxial layers grown on GaAs substrate by molecular beam epitaxy were investigated. Growth process of the epitaxial layers as a function of the growth interruption time was observed by reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED). The growth interruption time was 0, 15, 30, 60 s. The GaAs/$Al_{0.3}Ga_{0.7}As$ multi quantum wells (MQWs) with different growth interruption time were grown and its properties were investigated. RHEED intensity oscillation and optical property of the MQWs were dependent on the growth interruption time. When the growth interruption time was 30 s, interface between the well and barrier layers became sharper.

고체 표면의 구조해석 방법에는 LEED(저에너지 전자선 회절법)나 RHEED(반사 고에너지 전자선 회절법) 등과 같이 표면의 2차원적 회절상을 해석하는 방법이 있고(역격자 공간의 해석), 또는 ISS(이온산란 분광법), RBS(러더포드 후방산란법) 등과 같이 표면 원자의 실공간에 대한 정보를 직접 얻는 방법이 있다. 실제로는 두 가지 종류의 분석법을 상호 보완적으로 조합하여 효율적인 구조해석을 수행한다. 본고에서는 직충돌 이온산란 분광법(ICISS: Impact Collision Ion Scattering Spectroscopy)에 대한 원리, 장치, 측정방법 등을 소개한 전고에 이어서 이를 이용한 반도체 표면구조 해석에 관하여 기술하고자 한다. 표면의 원자구조를 알아내기 위해서는 산란된 입자의 강도를 입사각도와 출사각도에 대하여 조사하여야 하는데, 이온이 원자와 충돌하여 산란될 때 원자의 후방으로 형성되는 shadow cone에 의하여 생성되는 집속 효과(focusing effect) 및 가리움 효과(blocking effect) 중에서 ICISS는 집속 효과만을 고려하여 해석하면 실공간에서의 원자구조를 해석할 수 있다. 본 고에서는 ICISS를 이용하여 금속 또는 절연체 물질이 반도체 표면 위에서 흡착 또는 성장될 때 초기의 계면 구조 해석, 금속/반도체 계면에서 시간에 따른 동적변화 해석, III-V족 반도체의 표면구조 해석, 반도체 기판 위에서 박막 성장 과정 해석 등에 관한 연구 사례를 소개하고자 한다.

Epitaxial cubic silicon carbide films have been deposited on carbonized Si(001) substrates using the single precursor 1, 3-disilabutane in the temperature range 900-$1000^{\circ}C$ under high vacuum conditions. The films grown were characterized by in situ RHEED, XPS, XRD, x-ray pole figure, SEM, and TEM. The results show that epitaxial cubic SiC films with smooth morphology and good crystallinity were formed in this temperature range. The single precursor 1, 3-disilabutane has been found suitable for the epitaxial growth of cubic SiC on Si(001) substrates.

The growth of Ti on Si(111)-$7{\times}7$ and the formation of epitaxial C54 $TiSi_2$ were investigated by using reflection high energy electron diffraction(RHEED) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM). Polycrystalline Ti layer is grown on the amorphous Ti-Si interlayer which is formed at the Ti/Si interface by Ti deposition on Si(111)-$7{\times}7$ at room temperature (RT). HRTEM lattice image and transmission electron diffraction(TED) showed that epitaxial C54 $TiSi_2$ grown on Si substrate with 160 ML of Ti on Si(111)-$7{\times}7$ surface at RT, followed by annealing at $750^{\circ}C$ for 10 min in UHV. Thin single crystal Si overlayer with [111] direction is grown on $TiSi_2$ surface when $TiSi_2$/Si(111) is annealed at ${\sim}900^{\circ}C$ in UHV, which was confirmed by Si(111)-$7{\times}7$ superstructure.

We have investigated magnetic properties of monolayer (ML)-thickness Co film deposited on InP(2${\times}$4) reconstruction surface using in situ Surface Magneto-Optical Kerr Effects (SMOKE) measurement system. InP(2${\times}$4) reconstruction surface, obtained by repeated sputtering and annealing, was confirmed by reflection hish energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and scanning tunneling microscope (STM) measurements. From both longitudinal and polar SMOKE measurements, we have observed three distinguishable regions showing different magnetic properties depending on the Co thickness. In the Co film thickness smaller than 7 $m\ell$, no SMOKE signal was detected. In the following thickness between 8 $m\ell$ and 15 $m\ell$, both longitudinal and polar Kerr hysteresis loops were observed, which implies a metastable phase coexisted of in-plane and perpendicular anisotropies. In the film thickness larger than 16 $m\ell$, only longitudinal MOKE signal without polar signal was detected, which implies existence of in-plane anisotropy in this thickness region.
