In order to investigate the improvements of relatively poor characteristics of short wave length AlGaAs/GaAs laser diodes which are useful as a light source for short distance communication systems, the low temperature $(<680^{\circ}C)$ grown AlGaAs/GaAs GRINSCH-QW laser diodes by molecular beam epitaxy have been studied by photoluminescence as a function of rapid thermal annealing (RTA) temperature. It is shown that guantum well photoluminescence intensity increased substantially by a factor of 10 after RAT at $950^{\circ}C$ for 10 sec. This is related to the reduction of non-radiative recombination in the guantum well region. The threshold current of annealed laser diode is reduced by a factor, of 4, confirming the improvement of laser diode quality by rapid thermal annealing.

In this study, systematical investigations were carried out on crystal qualifies and optical properties of $ZnSe_{1-x}:Te_x$ (x=0.002-0.04) thin films frown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The crystal qualifies and optical properties have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Photoluminescence (PL) measurements, respectively. From the XRD measurements, the crystallographic characteristics showed mediocre crystal quality with increasing the Te composition. From the PL measurements, emission in the visible spectrum region from blue to green was obtained by varying the Te content of the ZnSe:Te epilayers. The efficient blue and green emission were attributed to the recombination of excitons trapped at isoelectronic isolated a single Te atom and $Te_n(n{\geq}2)$ clusters. respectively. The blue emission become dominant in Te tightly doped $ZnSe_{1-x}:Te_x$ $(Te=0.2\%)$ epilayers with increasing temperature. For the Te heavily doping condition $(Te=4.0\%)$, the dominant green emission could be observed at around 160K.

산화아연 박막은 아연이 코팅된 테프론 기판 위에 졸-겔 스핀코팅 방법을 이용하여 각기 다른 후열처리 온도에서 제작되었다. 산화아연 박막의 후열처리 온도에 따른 구조적, 광학적 특성은 field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffractometer, and photoluminescence spectroscope를 이용하여 분석하였다. 후열처리 온도를 달리하여 성장한 모든 산화아연 박막은 수지상(dendrite) 구조를 가지고 있으며, 이 수지상 구조 위에 약 20 nm의 산화아연 입자들이 성장되었다. 후열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 c-축 배향성이 우세하게 나타났으며, 인장응력도 증가하였다. 후열처리 온도 $400^{\circ}C$에서 Near-band-edge emission (NBE) 피크는 적색편이(red-shift) 하였고, 후열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 deep-level emission (DLE) 피크의 세기는 감소하였다. 또한 $400^{\circ}C$의 후열처리 온도에서 NBE 피크의 반치폭(FWHM)이 가장 작았으며, INBE/IDLE의 비율이 가장 높았다. 따라서 $400^{\circ}C$의 후열처리 공정에 의해 결정성 및 광학적 특성이 가장 우수한 산화아연 박막을 얻을 수 있었다.

ZnO nano-fibrous thin films with various precursor concentrations ranging from 0.2 to 1.0 mol (M) were grown by spin-coating method and effects of the precursor concentration on surface and optical properties of the ZnO nano-ribrous thin films were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence (PL). ZnO nuclei were formed at the precursor concentration below 0.4 M and the ZnO nano-fibrous thin films were grown at the precursor concentration above 0.6 M. Further increase in the precursor concentration, the thickness of the ZnO nano-fibrous thin films is gradually increased. The intensity and the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of the near-band-edge emission (NBE) is increased as the precursor concentration is increased. The deep-level emission (DLE) is red-shifted as the precursor concentration is increased.
