Recently, the use of an aluminum nitride(AlN) buffer layer has been actively studied for fabricating a high quality gallium nitride(GaN) template for high efficiency Light Emitting Diode(LED) production. We confirmed that AlN deposition after $N_2$ plasma treatment of the substrate has a positive influence on GaN epitaxial growth. In this study, $N_2$ plasma treatment was performed on a commercial patterned sapphire substrate by RF magnetron sputtering equipment. GaN was grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD). The surface treated with $N_2$ plasma was analyzed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) to determine the binding energy. The XPS results indicated the surface was changed from $Al_2O_3$ to AlN and AlON, and we confirmed that the thickness of the pretreated layer was about 1 nm using high resolution transmission electron microscopy(HR-TEM). The AlN buffer layer deposited on the grown pretreated layer had lower crystallinity than the as-treated PSS. Therefore, the surface $N_2$ plasma treatment on PSS resulted in a reduction in the crystallinity of the AlN buffer layer, which can improve the epitaxial growth quality of the GaN template.

All three buffer layers of $Y_2O_3$, YSZ, and $CeO_2$ have been deposited on the biaxially textured metal substrates using rf-sputtering method, The first 50-70nm thick $Y_2O_3$ films were grown epitaxially on biaxially textured metal substrates as a seed layer and followed by the diffusion barrier ${\sim}100nm$ thick YSZ and subsequent capping layer ${\sim}200nm$ thick $CeO_2$ deposited epitaxially on top of $Y_2O_3$ seed layer. The epitaxial orientation of all three layers were all (100) grown with rocking curve Full Width at Half Maximum(FWHM) of $4-5^{\circ}$ and in plane phi-scan FWHM of $6-8^{\circ}$ using X -ray diffraction analysis. The NiO phases formed during the $Y_2O_3$ seed layer deposition seem to degrade the crystallinity and roughen the surface morphology of the following layer observed by AFM(Atomic Force Microscopy). The buffered tapes were used as substrates for long length YBCO coated conductors with high critical current density $J_c$. The five multi-turn of metal tapes was employed to increase the thickness of films and production rate to compensate the low growth rate of rf-sputtering method.

BiSrCaCuO thin films were fabricated by atomic layer-by-layer deposition using an ion beam sputtering method. 10 wt% and 90 wt% ozone mixed with oxygen were used with ultraviolet light irradiation to assist oxidation. At early stages of the atomic layer by layer deposition, two dimensional epitaxial growth which covers the substrate surface would be suppressed by the stress and strain caused by the lattice misfit, then three dimensional growth takes place. Since Cu element is the most difficult to oxidize, only Sr and Bi react with each other predominantly, and forms a buffer layer on the substrate in an amorphous-like structure, which is changed to $SrBi_2O_4$ by in-situ anneal.

We fabricate encapsulation-layer of OLED panel from organic-inorganic hybrid thin film by atomic layer deposition (ALD) molecular layer deposition (MLD) using Al2O3 as ALD process and Adipoyl Chloride (AC) and 1,4-Butanediamine as MLD process. Ellipsometry was employed to verify self-limiting reaction of MLD. Linear relationship between number of cycle and thickness was obtained. By such investigation, we found that desirable organic thin film fabrication is possible by MLD surface reaction in monolayer scale. Purging was carried out after dosing of each precursor to eliminate physically adsorbed precursor with surface. We also confirmed roughness of the organic thin film by atomic force microscopy (AFM). We deposit AC and 1,4-Butanediamine at $70^{\circ}C$ and investigated surface roughness as a function of increasing thickness of organic thin film. We confirmed precursor's functional group by IR spectrum. We calculated WVTR of organic-inorganic hybrid super-lattice epitaxial layer using Ca test. WVTR indicates super-lattice film can be possibly use as encapsulation in flexible devices.

Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CuO$_{x}$(Bi-2201) thin film were fabricated by atomic layer-by -layer deposition using an ion beam sputtering method. 10 wt% and 90 wt% ozone mixed oxygen were used with ultraviolet light irradiation to assist oxidation. XRD and RHEED investigations revealed that a buffer layer is formed at the early stage of deposition (less than 10 unit cell), and then c-axis oriented Bi-2201 grows on top of it.t.

실리콘 기판에 GaN 에피성장을 확인하기 위해, P형 Si(100) 기판 전면에 버퍼층으로 10 nm 두께의 코발트실리사이드를 형성시켰다. 형성된 코발트실리사이드 층을 HF로 크리닝하고, PA-MBE (plasma assisted-molecular beam epitaxy)를 써서 저온에서 500 nm의 GaN를 성막하였다. 완성된 GaN은 광학현미경, 주사탐침현미경, TEM, HR-XRD를 활용하여 특성을 확인하였다. HF 크리닝을 하지 않은 경우에는 GaN 에피택시 성장이 진행되지 않았다. HF 크리닝을 실시한 경우에는 실리사이드 표면의 국부적인 에칭에 의해 GaN성장이 유리하여 모두 GaN $4\;{\mu}m$ 정도의 두께를 가진 에피택시 성장이 진행되었다. XRD로 GaN의 <0002> 방향의 결정성 (crsytallinity)을 $\omega$-scan으로 판단한 결과 Si(100) 기판의 경우 2.7도를 보여 기존의 사파이어 기판 정도로 우수할 가능성이 있었다. 나노급 코발트실리사이드를 버퍼로 채용하여 GaN의 에피성장이 가능할 수 있었다.

분자선 에피택시 장비를 이용하여 두 단계 방법(two-step method)으로 Si (100) 기판 위에 GaAs 에피층을 성장하였다. Si 기판은 초고진공을 유지하고 있는 MBE 성장 챔버 속에서 세척 방법을 달리하여 Si 기판표면에 존재하는 불순물(산소, 탄소 등)을 제거하였다. 첫 번째는 Si 기판을 몰리브덴 히터를 사용하여 $800^{\circ}C$로 직접 가열하였다. 두 번째는 Si 기판 표면에 As 빔을 조사시켜 주면서 $800^{\circ}C$로 Si 기판을 가열하였다. 세 번째는 Si 기판 표면에 Ga을 증착한 후 Si 기판을 $800^{\circ}C$로 가열하였다. 이와 같은 세 가지 다른 조건으로 세척한 Si(100) 기판 위에 성장한 GaAs 에피층의 특성은 reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED), atomic force microscope (AFM), double crystal x-ray diffraction (DXRD), photoluminescence (PL), photoreflectance(PR) 등으로 조사하였다. Ga 빔을 증착하여 세척한 Si 기판 위에 성장된 GaAs 에피층의 RHEED 패턴은 ($2{\times}4$) 구조를 가지고 있었다. Ga 빔을 증착하여 세척한 Si 기판 위에 성장된 GaAs 에피층이 가장 좋은 결정성을 가지고 있었다.

BSCCO thin film is fabricated cia both processes of co-deposition and layer-by-layer deposition at an ultralow growth rate using ion beam sputtering method. The adsorption of Bi atom and the appearance of Bi-2212 phase shows large differance between both processes. It is found that the resident time of Bi vapor species on the surface of the substrate strongly dominates the film composition and the formation of the structure.
