  • For the channel doping of shallow junction and retrograde well formation in CMOS, indium can be implanted in silicon. The retrograde doping profiles can serve the needs of channel engineering in deep MOS devices for punch-through suppression and threshold voltage control. Indium is heavier element than B, $BF_2$ and Ga ions. It also has low coefficient of diffusion at high temperatures. Indium ions can be cause the erode of wafer surface during the implantation process due to sputtering. For the ultra shallow junction, indium ions can be implanted for p-doping in silicon. UT-MARLOWE and SRIM as Monte carlo ion-implant models have been developed for indium implantation into single crystal and amorphous silicon, respectively. An analytical tool was used to carry out for the annealing process from the extracted simulation data. For the 1D (one-dimensional) and 2D (two-dimensional) diffused profiles, the analytical model is also developed a simulation program with $C^{{+}{+}}$ code. It is very useful to simulate the indium profiles in implanted and annealed silicon autonomously. The fundamental ion-solid interactions and sputtering effects of ion implantation are discussed and explained using SRIM and T-dyn programs. The exact control of indium doping profiles can be suggested as a future technology for the extreme shallow junction in the fabrication process of integrated circuits.

  • 'Tracers' are bullets that emit light at the backside so that the shooter can see the trajectory of their flight. These light-emitting bullets allow snipers to hit targets faster and more accurately. Conventional tracers are all combustion type which use the heat generated upon ignition. However, the conventional tracer has a fire risk at the impact site due to the residual flame and has a by-product that can contaminate the inside of the gun and lead to firearm failure. To resolve these problems, it is necessary to develop non-combustion-type tracers that can convert heat to luminance, so-called 'thermoluminescence (TL)'. Here, we highly improve the thermoluminescence properties of MgB4O7 through co-doping of Dy3++Ce3+ and Dy3++Na+. The presence of doping materials (Dy3+, Ce3+, Na+) was confirmed by XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy). The as-synthesized co-doped MgB4O7 was irradiated with a specific radiation dose and heated to 500 ℃under dark conditions. Different thermoluminescence characteristics were exhibited depending on the type or amounts of doping elements, and the highest luminance of 370 cd/m2 was obtained when Dy 10 % and Na 5 % were co-doped.

  • We synthesized BiOI nanostructures with various doped-concentrations of Ag (0.1, 1.0, 5.0, 10.0 mol%) and Ti (1.0, 5.0, 10.0, 30.0, 50.0 mol%). They show spherical echinoid-like structures examined by scanning electron microscope. The BET surface areas were measured to be in the range of 40~70 $m^2$/g, which is reduced by doping. The indirect band gap was estimated to be 1.8 eV for undoped BiOI with no change and 1.0 eV increase upon Ag and Ti doping, respectively. The structures were further examined by X-Ray diffraction analysis, FT-IR, and photoluminescence. We also demonstrated adsorption and photocatalytic degradation performances for methyl orange and Rhodamine B on the echinoid-like BiOI structures.

  • $LaBO_3$ (B = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni) perovskites, the most common perovskite-type mixed ionic-electronic conductors (MIECs), are promising candidates for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cell (IT-SOFC) cathodes. The catalytic activity on MIEC-based cathodes is closely related to the bulk ionic conductivity. Doping B-site cations with other metals may be one way to enhance the ionic conductivity, which would also be sensitively influenced by the chemical composition of the dopants. Here, using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we quantitatively assess the activation energies of bulk oxide ion diffusion in $LaBO_3$ perovskites with a wide range of combinations of B-site cations by calculating the oxygen vacancy formation and migration energies. Our results show that bulk oxide ion diffusion dominantly depends on oxygen vacancy formation energy rather than on the migration energy. As a result, we suggest that the late transition metal-based perovskites have relatively low oxygen vacancy formation energies, and thereby exhibit low activation energy barriers. Our results will provide useful insight into the design of new cathode materials with better performance.

  • We studied the magnetic and the related electronic properties of Ni-doped rutile $TiO_{2-{\delta}}$ films (including oxygen deficiency $\delta$) prepared using a sol-gel method. A room-temperature ferromagnetism was observed in the $TiO_{2-{\delta}}$ : Ni films with the saturation magnetization ($M_S$) decreasing with increasing Ni doping and remaining constant above 6 at% Ni doping. The observed ferromagnetism below 6 at% Ni doping is interpreted as due to magnetic polaron formed by a trapped electron in oxygen vacancy and magnetic impurity ions around it. For small Ni doping, $M_S$ up to $3.7{\mu}B/Ni$ was obtained. The ferromagnetism for Ni doping above 6 at% is interpreted as due to the existence of Ni clusters that can explain the p-n conductivity transition observed by Hall effect measurements.

  • For boron doping on n-type silicon wafer, around $1,000^{\circ}C$ doping temperature is required, because of the relatively low solubility of boron in a crystalline silicon comparing to the phosphorus case. Boron doping by fiber laser annealing and lamp furnace heat treatment were carried out for the uniformly deposited p-a-Si:H layer. Since the uniformly deposited p-a-Si:H layer by cluster is highly needed to be doped with high temperature heat treatment. Amorphous silicon layer absorption range for fiber laser did not match well to be directly annealed. To improve the annealing effect, we introduce additional lamp furnace heat treatment. For p-a-Si:H layer with the ratio of $SiH_4:B_2H_6:H_2$=30:30:120, at $200^{\circ}C$, 50 W power, 0.2 Torr for 30 min. $20\;mm\;{\times}\;20\;mm$ size fiber laser cut wafers were activated by Q-switched fiber laser (1,064 nm) with different sets of power levels and periods, and for the lamp furnace annealing, $980^{\circ}C$ for 30 min heat treatment were implemented. To make the sheet resistance expectable and uniform as important processes for the $p^+$ layer on a polished n-type silicon wafer of (100) plane, the Q-switched fiber laser used. In consequence of comparing the results of lifetime measurement and sheet resistance relation, the fiber laser treatment showed the trade-offs between the lifetime and the sheet resistance as $100\;{\omega}/sq.$ and $11.8\;{\mu}s$ vs. $17\;{\omega}/sq.$ and $8.2\;{\mu}s$. Diode level device was made to confirm the electrical properties of these experimental results by measuring C-V(-F), I-V(-T) characteristics. Uniform and expectable boron heavy doped layers by fiber laser and lamp furnace are not only basic and essential conditions for the n-type crystalline silicon solar cell fabrication processes, but also the controllable doping concentration and depth can be established according to the deposition conditions of layers.

  • 3-dimensional(3-D) simulations of ideal double-gate bulk FinFET were performed extensively and the electrical characteristics. were analyzed. In 3-D device simulation, we changed gate length($L_g$), height($H_g$), and channel doping concentration($N_b$) to see the behaviors of the threshold voltage($V_{th}$), DIBL(drain induced barrier lowering), and SS(subthreshold swing) with source/drain junction depth($X_{jSDE}$). When the $H_g$ is changed from 30 nm to 45nm, the variation gives a little change in $V_{th}$(less than 20 mV). The DIBL and SS were degraded rapidly as the $X_{jSDE}$ is deeper than $H_g$ at low fin body doping($1{\times}10^{16}cm^{-3}{\sim}1{\times}10^{17}cm^{-3}$). By adopting local doping at ${\sim}10nm$ under the $H_g$, the degradation could be suppressed significantly. The local doping also alleviated $V_{th}$ lowering by the shallower $X_{jSDE}\;than\;H_g$ at low fin body doping.
