AlN는 넓은 밴드 갭 및 높은 열전도율로 인해 넓은 밴드 갭 및 고주파 전자 소자로 유망한 재료이다. AlN은 전력 반도체의 재료로서 더 큰 항복전압과 고전압에서의 더 작은 특성저항의 장점을 가지고 있다. 높은 전도도를 갖는 p형 AlN 에피층의 성장은 AlN 기반 응용 제품 제조에 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 Mg이 도핑된 AlN 에피층을 혼합 소스 HVPE에 의해 성장하였다. Al 및 Mg 혼합 금속은 Mg-doped AlN 에피 층의 성장을 위한 소스 물질로 사용하였다. AlN 내의 Mg 농도는 혼합 소스에서 Mg 첨가 질량의 양을 조절함으로써 제어되었다. 다양한 Mg 농도를 갖는 AlN 에피 층의 표면 형태 및 결정 구조는 FE-SEM 및 HR-XRD에 의해 조사하였다. Mg-doped AlN 에피 층의 XPS 스펙트럼으로 부터 혼합 소스 HVPE에 의해 Mg을 AlN 에피 층에 도핑할 수 있음을 증명하였다.

The effect of an AlN additive on the thermoelectric properties of SiC ceramics was studied. Porous SiC ceramics with 48-54% relative density were fabricated by sintering the pressed ${\alpha}-SiC$ powder compacts with AlN at $2100-2200^{\circ}C$ for 3 h in an Ar atmosphere. In the undoped specimens, the Seebeck coefficients were positive (p-type semiconducting) possibly due to a dominant effect of the acceptor impurities (Al, Fe) contained in the starting powder. With AlN addition, the reverse phase transformation of 6H-SiC to 4H-SiC was observed during the sintering process. The electrical conductivity of the AlN doped specimen was larger than that of the undoped specimen under the same conditions, which might be due to a reverse phase trans-formation. The Seebeck coefficient of the AlN doped specimen was also larger than that of the undoped specimen. The density of specimen and the amount of addition had significant effects on the thermoelectric properties.

In this study, in order to improve the efficiency of n-type monocrystalline solar cells with an Alu-cell structure, we investigate the effect of the amount of Al paste in thin n-type monocrystalline wafers with thicknesses of $120{\mu}m$, $130{\mu}m$, $140{\mu}m$. Formation of the Al doped $p^+$ layer and wafer bowing occurred from the formation process of the Al back electrode was analyzed. Changing the amount of Al paste increased the thickness of the Al doped $p^+$ layer, and sheet resistivity decreased; however, wafer bowing increased due to the thermal expansion coefficient between the Al paste and the c-Si wafer. With the application of $5.34mg/cm^2$ of Al paste, wafer bowing in a thickness of $140{\mu}m$ reached a maximum of 2.9 mm and wafer bowing in a thickness of $120{\mu}m$ reached a maximum of 4 mm. The study's results suggest that when considering uniformity and thickness of an Al doped $p^+$ layer, sheet resistivity, and wafer bowing, the appropriate amount of Al paste for formation of the Al back electrode is $4.72mg/cm^2$ in a wafer with a thickness of $120{\mu}m$.

Fine AlN powder was synthesized by carbothermal reduction and nitridation of alumimun hydroxide prepared from Al-isopropoxide. AlN ceramics with Y2O3 and CaO were prepared by hot-pressing under the pressure of 30 MPa at 180$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in N2 atmosphere. Grain boundary behavior and purification mechanism of AlN lattice were examined by heat treatment of AlN ceramics at 185$0^{\circ}C$ for 1-6 h in N2 atmosphere. AlN ceramics without sintering additives showed poor sinterability. However, Y2O3-doped and CaO-doped AlN ceramics were fully densified nearly to theoretical density. As the heat treatment time increased, c-axis lattice parameter increased. This is attributed to the removal of Al2O3 in AlN lattice. This purification effect of AlN attice depended upon the quantity of secondary oxide phase in the inintial stage of heat treatment and the heat treatment time.

In this study, we investigated that the resistance switching characteristics of Al-doped MgOx films with increasing Al doping concentration and increasing film thickness. The Al-doped MgOx based ReRAM devices with a TiN/Al-doped MgOx/Pt/Ti/SiO2 were fabricated on Si substrates. The 5 nm, 10 nm, and 15 nm thick Al-doped MgOx films were deposited by reactive dc magnetron co-sputtering at $300^{\circ}C$ and oxygen partial ratio of 60% (Ar: 16 sccm, O2: 24 sccm). Micro-structure of Al-doped MgOx films and atomic concentration were investigated by XRD and XPS, respectively. The Al-doped MgOx films showed set/reset resistance switching behavior at various Al doping concentrations. The process voltage of forming/set is decreased and whereas the initial current level is increased with decreasing thickness of Al-doped MgOx films. Besides, the initial current of Al-doped MgOx films is increased with increasing Al doping concentration in MgOx films. The change of resistance switching behavior depending on doping concentration was discussed in terms of concentration of non-lattice oxygen of Al-doped MgOx.

Aluminum nitride (AlN), as a substrate material in electronic packaging, has attracted considerable attention over the last few decades because of its excellent properties, which include high thermal conductivity, a coefficient of thermal expansion that matches well with that of silicon, and a moderately low dielectric constant. AlN films with c-axis orientation and thermal conductivity characteristics were deposited by using Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD). The epitaxial AlN films were grown on sapphire (c-Al₂O₃) single crystals by PLD with AlN target and Y₂O₃ doped AlN target. A comparison of different targets associated with AlN films deposited by PLD was presented with particular emphasis on thermal conductivity properties. The quality of AlN films was found to strongly depend on the growth temperature that was exerted during deposition. AlN thin films deposited using Y₂O₃-AlN targets doped with sintering additives showed relatively higher thermal conductivity than while using pure AlN targets. AlN thin films deposited at 600℃ were confirmed to have highly c-axis orientation and thermal conductivity of 39.413 W/mK.

The selective area growth light emitting diode on GaN substrate was grown using mixed-source HVPE method with multi-sliding boat system. The GaN substrate was grown using mixed-source HVPE system. Te-doped AlGaN/AlGaN/Mg-doped AlGaN/Mg-doped GaN multi-layers were grown on the GaN substrate. The appearance of epi-layers and the thickness of the DH was evaluated by SEM measurement. The DH metallization was performed by e-beam evaporator. n-type metal and p-type metal were evaporated Ti/Al and Ni/Au, respectively. At the I-V measurement, the turn-on voltage is 3 V and the differential resistance is 13 Ω. It was found that the SAG-LED grown on GaN substrate using mixed-source HVPE method with multi-sliding boat system could be applied for developing high quality LEDs.

First-principles calculations based on spin density functional theory are performed to study the spin-resolved electronic properties of AlN doped with a Cu concentration of 6.25%-18.75%. The ferromagnetic state is more energetically favorable state than the antiferromagnetic state or the nonmagnetic state. For $Al_{0.9375}Cu_{0.0625}N$, a global magnetic moment of 1.26 mB per supercell, with a localized magnetic moment of 0.75 $m_B$ per Cu atom is found. The magnetic moment is reduced due to an increase in the number of Cu atoms occupying adjacent cation lattice position. For $Al_{0.8125}Cu_{0.1875}N$, the magnetism of the supercell disappears by the interaction of the neighboring Cu atoms. The nonmagnetic to ferromagnetic phase transition is found to occur at this Cu concentration. The range of concentrations that are spin-polarized should be restricted within very narrow.
