We investigated the growth behaviors of ZnO epilayers on sapphire substrates fabricated sing RF magnetron puttering and RTA. The effects of deposition temperature and oxygen partial pressure in plasma on the structural and electrical properties were measured by XRD, AFM, SEM, and Hall effect measurement. It was found that ZnO thin films became denser and smoother with increasing deposition temperature and $O_2$ content in the puttering gas. ZnO thin film of oxygen and argon with a ratio of 5:5 had an electron concentration of $8.048{\times}10^{18}cm^{-3}$, resistivity of $0.0141{\Omega}{\cdot}Cm$, and mobility of $55.07cm^2/V{\cdot}s$.

Highly conductive oxide films of BaRuO$_3$ have been grown heteroepitaxially on (100) LaAlO$_3$ single crystalline substrates by using pulsed laser deposition. The films are c-axis oriented with an in-plane epitaxial relationship of <010><100>BaRuO$_3$ // <110>LaAlO$_3$. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) observation shows that they consist of a fine-arranged network of grains and have a mosaic microstructure. Generally temperature-dependent resistivity shows the transition from metallic curve to semiconductor-metallic twofold curve by the deposition conditions for Ru oxide based materials like SrRuO$_3$, CaRuO$_3$, BaRuO$_3$, etc.. This twofold curve comes from the structural similarity of Ru oxide based materials including BaRuO$_3$. We find that the distance of Ru-Ru bonding in the unit cell of BaRuO$_3$ as well as the grain boundary scattering could be the two important causes of these interesting conductive properties.

The monolayer of oxygen atoms sandwitched between the adjacent nanocrystalline silicon layers was formed by ultra high vacuum-chemical vapor deposition (UHV-CVD). This multi-layer Si-O structure forms a new type of superlattice, semiconductor-atomic superattice (SAS). According to the experimental results, high-resolution cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) shows epitaxial system. Also, the current-voltage (I-V) measurement results show the stable and good insulating behavior with high breakdown voltage. It is apparent that the system may form an epitaxially grown insulating layer as possible replacement of silicon-on-insulator (SOI), a scheme investigated as future generation of high efficient and high density CMOS on SOI.

Our Zn diffusion into n-type $GaAs_{0.40}P_{0.60}$ used ampoule-tube method to increase IV. N-type epitaxial wafers were preferred by $H_2SO_4$-based pre-treatment. $SiO_2$ thin film was deposited by PECVD for some wafers. Diffusion times and diffusion temperatures respectability are 1, 2, 3 hr and 775, $805^{\circ}C$. LED chips were fabricated by the diffused wafers at Fab. The peak wavelength of all chips showed about $625{\sim}650\;nm$ and red color. The highest IV is about 270 mcd at the diffusion condition of $775^{\circ}C$, 3h for the wafers which didn't deposit $SiO_2$ thin films. Also, the longer diffusion time is the higher IV for the wafers which deposit $SiO_2$ thin films.

The characteristics of GaN epitaxial layers grown on silicon (111) substrates by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy have been investigated. The only control of AlN thickness was found to decrease the stress sufficiently for avoiding crack formation in an overgrown thick ($2.6{\mu}m$) GaN layer. X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence measurements are used to determine the effect of AlN thickness on the strain in the subsequent GaN layers. Strong band edge photoluminescence of GaN on Si(111) was observed with a full width at half maximum of the bound exciton line as low as 17meV at 13K.

Ferroelectric Lithium niobate ($LiNbO_3$) thin films are fabricated on $Al_2O_3$(0001) substrate using Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD). The various deposition conditions such as substrate temperature, oxygen pressure, and post annealing condition are investigated to deposite c-axis oriented $LiNbO_3$ thin films. Highly c-axis oriented thin films are obtained under the conditions of working pressure of 100 mTorr, deposition for 10 min at $450^{\circ}C$, and in-situ annealing for 40 min. The $LiNbO_3$ thin films are chemically etched after electric poling and the etched configurations are studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Single crystalline ZnO fims were successfully grown on r-plane sapphire substrate by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. Epitaxial relationship between the ZnO film and the-r-plane sapphire was determined to be [-1101]$Al_2O_3\;{\parallel}$ [0001]ZnO, [11-20]$Al_2O_3\;{\parallel}$ [-1100]ZnO based on the in-situ RHEED analysis and confirmed again by HRXRD measurements. Grown (11-20) ZnO films showed faceted structure along the <0001> direction and the RMS roughness was about 4 nm.

ZnO thn films are grown on five kinds of oxide substrates including $c-Al_2O_3(0001),\;r-Al_2O_3(01-12)$, MgO(100), MgO(111), $NdGaO_3(110)$ by rf magnetron sputtering and effects substrate types on properties of ZnO thin films ate investigated. In order to compare the substrate effects one growth condition is selected and all the films are grown by the same growth condition. Structural and optical properties of the ZnO films ate different depending on the substrates although the films ate not epitaxial but polycrystalline. The ZnO film grown on $NdGaO_3(100)$ substrate shows the best overall properties among the films grown on substrates investigated in this study.

TBP (tertiarybutylphosphine), a relatively new material for phosphorus, has been studied with EDMIn (ethyldimethylindium) as an indium source for the growth of InP by MOVPE (metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy). Mirror smooth and good crystalline InP layers were obtained at $500-600^{\circ}C$ with the TBP/EDMIn molar ratio as low as 21. The deposited InP layers are all n-type with the electron concentration in the range of (5-10)${\times}10^{16}\;cm^{-3}$, which is a lot higher than those from $PH_3$. This high concentration is due presumably to the high concentration of donor impurities in TBP. And it has been found that the formation of adduct occurs between EDMIn and TBP at room temperature when the partial pressure of EDMIn in the reactant mixture is above $1{\times}10^{-2}$ Torr. The high concentration of impurities in TBP and the adduct formation between EDMIn and TBP are major obstacles in replacing $PH_3$ and TMIn for the growth of device quality InP layers.

Orthorhombic DyMnO₃ films are fabricated epitaxially on Nb-1.0 wt%-doped SrTiO₃ single crystal substrates using pulsed laser deposition technique. The structure of the deposited DyMnO₃ films is studied by X-ray diffraction, and the epitaxial relationship between the film and the substrate is determined. The electrical transport properties reveal the diodelike rectifying behaviors in the all-perovskite oxide junctions over a wide temperature range (100 ~ 340 K). The forward current is exponentially related to the forward bias voltage, and the extracted ideality factors show distinct transport mechanisms in high and low positive regions. The leakage current increases with increasing reverse bias voltage, and the breakdown voltage decreases with decrease temperature, a consequence of tunneling effects because the leakage current at low temperature is larger than that at high temperature. The determined built-in potentials are 0.37 V in the low bias region, and 0.11 V in the high bias region, respectively. The results show the importance of temperature and applied bias in determining the electrical transport characteristics of all-perovskite oxide heterostructures.
