Phase-change materials can be cycled by exposure to laser beam, and as a function of the pulse intensity and duration, the laser beam triggers the switching from crystalline to amorphous phase and back. In other to progress better crystallization transition and amorphization long phase-transformation data of phase-change memory (PRAM), we investigated about the effect of Sb doping and Ag ions percolating into Ge-Se-Te phase-change material. Doped Sb concentrations was determined each of 10, 20 and 30 wt%. As the Sb-doping concentration was increased, the resistivity decreased and the crystallization temperature increased. Ionization of Ag was progressed by DPSS laser (532 nm) for 1 hour. The resistivity was more decreased and the crystallization temperature was more increased in case of adding Ag layer under Sb-(Ge-Se-Te) thin film. At the every condition of thin films included Ag layer more stable states were indicated compare with just Sb-doped Ge-Se-Te thin films.

Photochemical patterning of self-assembled mono layers (SAMs) has been performed by diode pumped solid state (DPSS) 3rd harmonic Nd:$YVO_4$ laser with wavelength of 355 nm. SAMs patternings of parallel lines have subsequently been used either to generate compositional chemical patterns or fabricate microstructures by a wet etching. This paper describes a selective etching process with patterned SAMs of alkanetiolate molecules on the surface of gold. SAMs formed by the adsorption of alkanethiols onto gold substrate employs as very thin photoresists. In this paper, the influence of the interaction between the functional group of SAMs and the etching solution is studied with optimal laser irradiation conditions. The results show that hydrophobic functional groups of SAMs are more effective for selective chemical etching than the hydrophilic ones.

A new hybrid silicon thin-film transistor (TFT) fabrication process using the DPSS laser crystallization technique was developed in this study to realize low-temperature poly-Si (LTPS) and a-Si:H TFTs on the same substrate as a backplane of the active-matrix liquid crystal flat-panel display (AMLCD). LTPS TFTs were integrated into the peripheral area of the activematrix LCD panel for the gate driver circuit, and a-Si:H TFTs were used as a switching device of the pixel electrode in the active area. The technology was developed based on the current a-Si:H TFT fabrication process in the bottom-gate, back-channel etch-type configuration. The ion-doping and activation processes, which are required in the conventional LTPS technology, were thus not introduced, and the field effect mobility values of $4\sim5cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ and $0.5cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ for the LTPS and a-Si:H TFTs, respectively, were obtained. The application of this technology was demonstrated on the 14.1" WXGA+(1440$\times$900) AMLCD panel, and a smaller area, lower power consumption, higher reliability, and lower photosensitivity were realized in the gate driver circuit that was fabricated in this process compared with the a-Si:H TFT gate driver integration circuit

In this paper. we investigated a characteristic of holographic grating data erasure with non-polarized beam at amorphous chalcogenide As-Ge-Se-S thin film. A sample of holographic grating data was formed with DPSS laser for setup. Then, the erasure process was performed with He-Ne laser vertically at sample. As-Ge-Se-S(single layer). Ag/As-Ge-Se-S(double layer) and As-Ge-Se-S/Ag/As-Ge-Se-S(multi-layer) are manufactured to compare their characteristic of erasure.

For phase transition method, good recording sensitivity, low heat radiation, fast crystallization and hi-resolution are essential. Also, A retention time is very important part for phase transition. In our presentation wall, we chose Ge-Se-Te material to use a Se material which has good optical sensitivity than Sb. A Ge-Se-Te sample was fabricated and Irradiated with He-Ne laser and DPSS laser to investigate a reversible phase change by light.

In this study, we have investigated the holographic grating formation on Ag-doped amorphous chalcogenide AsGeSeS thin films with Ag thickness. Ag/AsGeSeS thin films with the incident laser beam wavelength for the improvement of the polarization diffraction grating efficiency. Holographic gratings have been formed using Diode Pumped Solid State laser (DPSS, 532.0nm) under [P:P] polarized the intensity polarization holography. The diffraction efficiency was obtained by +1st order intensity. The result is shown that the diffraction efficiency of Ag/AsGeSeS double layer thin film for the Ag thickness, the maximum grating diffraction efficiency using 60nm Ag layer is 0.96%.

We investigated the formation of 2-dimension hologram grating by means of selective etching characteristic and photo-expansion effect according to photo irradiation on amorphous As-Ge-Se-S thin film. By method of phase holography, we made the 2-dimensional hologram grating by each (S:P) and ($+45^{\circ}:-45^{\circ}$) polarized beam with DPSS laser(532nm) and He-Ne laser(632nm). A recording property was observed at each polarized beam through 2-dimensional hologram surface relief grating. Chalcogenide thin film was etched selectively by NaOH solution after the formation of 1-dimensional diffraction grating. And then etched sample was rotated 90 degree to fabricate 2 dimensional hologram grating. We found that it was observed the formation of 2-dimensional hologram grating by AFM(Atomic Force Microscopy).

We report on a continuous-wave (cw) optical parametric oscillator (OPO) optimized for mid-infrared emission above 5.0 ㎛. The OPO is based on a magnesium-oxide-doped periodically poled LiNbO₃(MgO:PPLN) crystal with a fan-out grating design. A linear two-mirror cavity resonating both at the pump and signal wavelengths is stabilized to the pump laser by using the modified Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) method. The idler wavelength is continuously tunable from 4.7 ㎛ up to 5.3 ㎛ by varying the poling period of the fan-out grating crystal. Pumped by a diode-pumped solid state (DPSS) laser with a power of 1.1 W at 1064 nm, the maximum idler output power is measured to be 5.3 mW at 4.8 ㎛. The output power above 5.0 ㎛ is reduced to the hundreds of ㎼ level due to increased absorption in the crystal, but is stable and strong enough to be measured with a conventional detector.

For phase transition method, good record sensitivity, low heat radiation, fast crystallization and hi-resolution are essential. Also, a retention time is very important part for phase-transition. In our past papers, we chose composition of $Ge_1Se_1Te_2$ material to use a Se factor which has good optical sensitivity than conventional Sb. Ge-Se-Te and Ag/$Ge_1Se_1Te_2$ samples are fabricated and irradiated with He-Ne laser and DPSS laser to investigate a reversible phase change by light. Because of Ag ions, the Ag layer inserted sample showed better performance than conventional one. We should note that this novel one showed another possibility for phase-change random access memory.

We have studied local magnetization reversal and magnetic properties induced by Laser annealing method in the strip-patterned Ta/NiFe/FeMn/Ta and Ta/NiFe/FeMn/NiFe/Ta multilayers fabricated by ion-beam deposition. The films were exposed to the emission of the DPSS (Diode Pumped Solid State, Nd:YAG) laser under 600 G. The laser beam intensity increased up to 440 mW. When the laser illuminated the patterned film with the power of above 200 m W, the intensity of MR peak located in +87 Oe shrunk. A new MR peak was generated at -63 Oe. When the laser power is 400 mW, the location of positive MR peak(H$\sub$ex/) was changed slightly from +87 Oe to +76 Oe, and the MR ratio was decreased from 0.9% to 0.1 %. On the other hand, the new (negative) MR peak shifted from -63 Oe to -80 Oe, with the MR ratio increased up to 0.3%. As the illuminated area expanded, the intensity of opposite MR peak increased and it of negative MR peak decreased. This proved that the local reversal of exchange biasing should be realized by laser annealing.
