Anodic alumina layer can be used as templates for preparation of nano-structured materials, because porous oxide layer on aluminum shows a uniform pore size and a high pore density. In order to find out possibility for template material to prepare nano wire, the effects of the anodic applied potential, anodic time and the temperature of electrolyte on pore diameter of anodic alumina layer were studied using SEM and AFM. The pore diameter of anodic alumina layer increased with applied anodic potential and electrolytic temperature. Especially, the pore diameter of anodic oxide layers formed in chromic acid can be well replicated by widening process in $H_3$$PO_4$solution.

To investigate effects of heat treatments including grain size control in substrate aluminum on nanopore arrays in anodic alumina template, aluminum was heat treated at $500^{\circ}C$ for 1h. The heat treated aluminum was anodized by two successive anodization processes in oxalic solution and the nanopore arrays in anodic alumina layer were studied using TEM and FE-SEM. The highly ordered porous alumina templates with 110 nm interpore distance and 40 nm pore diameter have been observed and the pore array of the anodic alumina has a uniform and closely-packed honeycomb structure. In the case of alumina template obtained from heat treated aluminum substrate, the well- ordered nanopore region in anodic alumina increased and became more homogeneous compared with that from non-heattreated one.

Porous $Al_2O_3$ film can be utilized as template for fabrication of nano-structured materials. Porous anodic alumina layer as template was prepared by anodization of aluminum in oxalic acid, and the pore diameter and barrier-type alumina layer can be controlled for proper anodizing parameter by widening process in $H_3PO_4$ solution. The $SiO_2$ nanodot and Ni nanowire was fabricated using anodic alumina template and their characteristics were investigated using SEM and TEM with EDS. Especially the growth mechanism of $SiO_2$ nanodot in alumina membrane compared with thinning of the alumina barrier layer during anodization was also investigated.

To investigate the effect of properties of pores in anodic alumina template(AAT) on the formation and characteristics of metal nano wires, Cu and Ni nano wires were manufactured using anodic alumina template formed in various electrolytes. The characteristics of prepared metal nano wires using AAT could be replicated from those of pores in AAT. The diameters of nano wires could be controlled by the widening process of anodic porous film in $H_3PO_4$ solution. The shape ratio of the nano wire was shown to be $170{\pm}30$ for Ni nano wire formed by AAT made in sulfuric acid.

In the conventional crystallization method, thepoly-Si TFTs show poor device-to-device uniformity because of the random location of the grain boundaries. However, our new crystallization method introduced in this paper employed substrate-embedded seeds on the highly ordered anodic alumina template to control both the location of seeds and the number of grain boundaries intentionally. In the process of excimer laser crystallization (ELC), a-Si film deposited on the anodic alumina by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) is transformed into fine poly-Si grains by explosive crystallization (XC) prior to primary melting. At the higher energy density, the film is nearly completely melted and laterally grown by super lateral growth (SLG) from remained small part of the fine poly-Si grains as seeds at the Si/anodic alumina interface. Resultant grain boundaries have almost linear functions of the number of seeds in concavities of anodic alumina which have a constant spacing. It reveals the uniformity of. device can be enhanced prominently by controlling location and size of pores which contains fine poly~Si seeds under artificial anodizing condition.

Single crystalline Cu nanowires with controlled diameters and aspect ratios have been synthesized using electrochemical deposition within confined nanochannels of a porous anodic aluminium oxide(AAO) template. The diameters of nano-sized cylindrical pores in AAO template were adjusted by controlling the anodization conditions. Cu nanowires with diameters of approximately 38, 99, 274 nm were synthesized by the electrodeposition using the AAO templates. The crystal structure, morphology and microstructure of the Cu nanowires were systematically investigated using XRD, FE-SEM, TEM and SAED. Investigation results revealed that the Cu nanowires had the controlled diameter, high aspect ratio and single crystalline nature.

Aluminum nanotube has been fabricated by a physical vapor deposition/atmospheric pressure injection using an anodic porous alumina film as a template. The pore external-, and inside diameters and the length of the aluminum nanotubes fabricated by this method are 60 nm, 35 nm and 2 $\mu$m, respectively. The structure of the fabricated aluminum nanotubes was examined by a kind of chemical treatment as extraction of copper on the cross-sectional area of these aluminum tubes in a mixed solution of $CuCl_2$ and HCl by difference of ionization tendency between aluminum and copper. The composition of the aluminum nanotube was identified by the two dimensional Hybrid Plasma Equipment Model (HPEM) employing the inductively coupled plasma.

나노 다공성 알루미나 박막을 제작하고 이를 주형으로 사용해서 진공증착에 의해 규칙적으로 배열된 나노우물구조와 나노그물구조의 금속 박막들(알루미늄, 주석, 코발트)을 제작하였다. 원하는 금속물질을 증발시키기 위하여 저항가열 방법을 사용하였으며, 증착은 torr의 기저진공 속에서 수행되었다. 실험결과에 의하면, 나노우물과 나노그물 구조의 박막 중 어떤 구조가 합성되느냐 하는 것은 증착되는 물질의 양에 의해서 큰 영향을 받는다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 세포의 크기가 100 nm이고 세공 직경이 60 nm인 다공성 알루미나 박막을 사용했을 때는 대략 우물구조를 합성하는데 필요한 질량의 절반이하 정도가 증착되게 되면 그물 구조가 합성되는 경향을 보여주었다.

Pt nanotubes with diameter of 200 nm were fabricated by simple and convenient method of Template-Wetting Process. Porous alumina membranes were prepared by 2 step anodic oxidation as the template. To improve wetting properties and lower surface energy, pt solution was mixed with polymer. Polymer was removed completely during annealing. Grain growth process of pt nanotubes during baking and furnace annealing was examined by FE-SEM and XRD.
