본 연구에서는 Pulsed Laser Deposition(이하 PDL)방법을 이용하여 Si기판에 (Ba,Sr)TiO3(이하 BST)박막을 MFS-FET(Metal-Ferroelectric-Semiconductor Field-effect Transistor)구조로 제조하였으며 BST박막의 강유전성이 BST 박막에 유도되는 응력에 어떤 영향을 받는지 살펴보았다. 본 연구에서는 완충막을 사용함으로써 BST박막과 완충막간의 격자부정합을 이용하여 BST박막에 강유전성을 유도하려고 하였다. 또한 MFS-FET구조의 BST박막에 유도되는 응력조절을 위하여 BST박막과 완충막의 두께를 변화하였으며 XRD를 통한 구조 분석 및 C-V test를 통한 전기적 특성을 관찰을 하였다. PLD법을 통해서 epitaxial 성장된 BST 박막에서는 Si에 epitaxial 성장된 완충막과의 격자부정합에 의한 BST박막내의 자발분극의 발생이 예상된다. 따라서, 본 연구는 강유전체의 자발분극에 의하여 발생되는 C-V 이력현상이 BST박막과 완충막과의 격자부정합에 의한 응력에 의해 발생될 것으로 예상하여, BST 박막에 유도되는 응력과 C-V 이력현상의 관계를 통하여 상온에서 상유전성을 갖는 BST가 응력에 의하여 어느 정도의 강유전성을 나타내는지를 밝히기 위해 진행되었다. 본 연구에서 사용된 완충막은 YSZ(Yttria Stabilized Zirconia)박막으로 0.4mTorrO2 분위기 하에서 600~80$0^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 증착하여 상형성을 살펴보았고 $700^{\circ}C$에서 epitaxial 성장을 확인하였으며 두께는 30~$\AA$으로 변화하였다. 또한 BST박막은 완충막과의 전압분배를 고려해 300~2000$\AA$으로 두께를 변화를 시키며 증착하였다. MFS 구조에서 Al 전극을 사용하여 완충막과 BST박막간의 두께 변화에 따른 Capacitance - Voltage(C-V) 측정을 하였으며 이를 통하여 강유전상의 특성인 C-V 이력현상을 관찰하였다. 그 결과 YSZ 박막에서는 C-V 이력현상이 나타나지 않았으며 BST 박막에서는 약 1.2V의 C-V이력현상이 보였다.

We will report atomically sharp epitaxial growth of $Bi_2Se_3$ three-dimensional topological insulator films on Si(111) substrate with molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). It was achieved by employing two step growth temperatures to prevent any formation of second phase, like as $SiSe_2$ clusters, between $Bi_2Se_3$ and Si substrate at the early stage of growth. The growth rate was determined completely by Bi flux and the Bi:Se flux ratio was kept ~1:15. The second-phase-free atomically sharp interface was verified by RHEED, TEM and XRD. Based on the RHEED analysis, the lattice constant of $Bi_2Se_3$ relaxed to its bulk value during the first quintuple layer implying the absence of strain from the substrate. Single-crystalline XRD peaks of $Bi_2Se_3$ were observed in films as thin as 4 QL. TEM shows full epitaxial structure of $Bi_2Se_3$ film down to the first quintuple layer without any second phases. This growth method was used to grow high quality epitaxial $Bi_2Se_3$ films from 3 QL to 3600 QL. The magneto-transport properties of these thin films show a robust 2D surface state which is thickness independent.

Silicon epitaxial films of submicron level were successfully grown by the RTCVD method. For the growth of silicon epitaxial layers, $SiH_{2}Cl_{2}\;/\;H_{2}$ gas mixtures and various process parameters including $H_{2}$ prebake process were used. The growth conditions were varied to investigate their effects on the interface abruptness of doping profile, the film growth rates and crystalline properties. The crystallinity of the undoped silicon was excellent at the growth temperature of $900^{\circ}C$. The doping profiles were measured by SIMS technique. The abruptness of doping profile would be controlled within about $200{\AA}/decade$ in the structure of undoped Si / $n^{+}-Si$ substrate.

The performance of the InGaN LED's in terms of the photon extraction efficiency has been analyzed by the Monte Carlo photon simulation method. Simulation results show that the sidewall slanting scheme, which works well for the AlInGaP or InGaN/SiC LED, plays a very minimal role in InGaN/sapphire LED's. In contrast to InGaN/SiC LED's, the lower refractive index sapphire substrate restricts the generated photons to enter the substrate, minimizing the chances for the photons to be deflected by the slanted sidewalls of the epitaxial semiconductor layers that are usually very thin. The limited photon transmission to the sapphire substrate also degrades the. photon extraction efficiency especially in the epitaxial-side down mount. One approach to exploit the photon extraction potential of the epitaxial-side down mount may be to texture the substrate-epitaxy interface. In this case, randomized photon deflection off the textured interface directly increases the number of the photons entering the sapphire substrate, from which they easily couple out of the chip and thereby improving the photon extraction efficiency drastically.

The formation mechanism of the epitaxial cobalt silicide from Co/Ti/OOO) Si structure has been investigated. The transition temperature of CoSi to CoSi, was found to increase with increasing the Ti interlayer thickness, which may be owing to the occupation of the tetrahedral sites by Ti atoms in the CoSi crystal structure as well as the blocking effect of the Ti interlayer on the diffusion of Co. Also, the Co- Ti-O ternary compound formed at the metal! Si interface at the begining of silicidation, which seems to play an important role in epitaxial growth of Co silicide. The final layer structures obtained after a rapid thermal annealing of the Cot Ti/( 100) Si bi-layer structure turned out to be Ti oxide/Co- Ti-Si/epi-$CoSi_2$/OOO)

$Cr_{100-x}Ti_x$ amorphous texture-inducing layers (TIL) were investigated to realize highly (002) oriented $L1_0$ FePt-C granular films through hetero-epitaxial growth on the (002) textured bcc-$Cr_{80}Mn_{20}$ seed layer (bcc-SL). As-deposited TILs showed the amorphous phase in Ti content of $30{\leq}x(at%){\leq}75$. Particularly, films with $40{\leq}x{\leq}60$ kept the amorphous phase against the heat treatment over $600^{\circ}C$. It was found that preference of the crystallographic texture for bcc-SLs is directly affected by the structural phase of TILs. (002) crystallographic texture was realized in bcc-SLs deposited on the amorphous TILs ($40{\leq}x{\leq}70$), whereas (110) texture was formed in bcc-SLs overlying on crystalline TILs (x < 30 and x > 70). Correlation between the angular distribution of (002) crystal orientation of bcc-SL evaluated by full width at half maximum of (002) diffraction (FWHM) and a grain diameter of bcc-SL indicated that while the development of the lateral growth for bcc-SL grain reduces FWHM, crystallization of amorphous TILs hinders FWHM. $L1_0$ FePt-C granular films were fabricated under the substrate heating process over $600^{\circ}C$ with having different FWHM of bcc-SL. Hysteresis loops showed that squareness ($M_r/M_s$) of the films increased from 0.87 to 0.95 when FWHM of bcc-SL decreased from $13.7^{\circ}$ to $3.8^{\circ}$. It is suggested that the reduction of (002) FWHM affects to the overlying MgO film as well as FePt-C granular film by means of the hetero-epitaxial growth.

Epitaxial ZnO nanowires (NWs) were synthesized on sapphire (001) substrates using a hydrothermal process. The effects of the pH value of the precursor solution on the structural and optical properties of the resulting NWs was studied. The epitaxial relationship and the domain matching configuration between the sapphire (001) substrate and the as-grown ZnO NWs were determined using synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements. The (002) plane of $w{\ddot{u}}rtzite$ ZnO NW grows in the surface normal direction parallel to the sapphire (001) direction. However, three types of in-plane domain matching configurations were observed, such as the on-position, $30^{\circ}$-rotated position, and ${\pm}8.5^{\circ}$-rotated position relative to the on-position, which might be attributed to inheriting the in-plane domain configuration of the ZnO seed layer.

Nanostuctures such as nanodot and nanowire have been extensively studied as building blocks for nanoscale devices. However, the direct growth of the nanostuctures at the desired position is one of the most important requirements for realization of the practical devices with high integrity. Self-assembled nanotemplate is one of viable methods to produce highly-ordered nanostructures because it exhibits the highly ordered nanometer-sized pattern without resorting to lithography techniques. And selective epitaxial growth (SEG) can be a proper method for nanostructure fabrication because selective growth on the patterned openings obtained from nanotemplate can be a proper direction to achieve high level of control and reproducibility of nanostructucture fabrication. Especially, SiGe has led to the development of semiconductor devices in which the band structure is varied by the composition and strain distribution, and nanostructures of SiGe has represented new class of devices such nanowire metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors and photovoltaics. So, in this study, various shaped SiGe nanostructures were selectively grown on Si substrate through ultrahigh vacuum chemical vapor deposition (UHV-CVD) of SiGe on the hexagonally arranged Si openings obtained using nanotemplates. We adopted two types of nanotemplates in this study; anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) and diblock copolymer of PS-b-PMMA. Well ordered and various shaped nanostructure of SiGe, nanodots and nanowire, were fabricated on Si openings by combining SEG of SiGe to self-assembled nanotemplates. Nanostructure fabrication method adopted in this study will open up the easy way to produce the integrated nanoelectronic device arrays using the well ordered nano-building blocks obtained from the combination of SEG and self-assembled nanotemplates.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated High-Tc Superconducting (HTS) microstrip bandpass filters using Stepped Impedance Resonators(SIR) and studied on their characteristics. The $high-T_c$ superconducting $Y_1Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ epitaxial films were deposited by Pulse Laser Deposition (PLD) system on MgO. The fabricated filters were designed so as to operate in Ku band with central frequency 17.25 GHz, bandwidth 2.896% and ripple 0.01 dB. These filters were composed of parallel coupled microstrip SIR of which impedance ratio (K) are 0.5, 1.5. In the measured response, HTS filters had showed insertion loss below -0.5 dB. For comparison with normal conducting filter, we fabricated the Au counterpart that consists of the resonators as K=1.5 in the same dimension and measured performance of the Au filter. In comparison, HTS filter designed optimally got superior response to gold conterpart.

Epitaxial Gd$_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$luminescent thin films have been grout on Si(III) substrates using ionized Cluster Beam Deposition (ICBD). After the film growing, they were implanted and post annealed to change the crystal structure. The initial growth stage was monitored by using in-situ Reflection High Energy Electron Diffraction (RHEED). The formed crystal structure was identified with X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and Fourier transform infrared (FT-R) spectroscopy. The electronic states variations were investigated by Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (NEXAFS). Photoluminescence (PL), Cathodoluminescence (CL). and Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) spectrum were used for examining the optical properties. We report the optical property changes depending on crystal structure and the electronic states.
