Over last decade InGaN alloy structures have become the one of the most promising materials among the numerous compound semiconductors for high efficiency light sources because of their direct band-gap and a wide spectral region (ultraviolet to infrared). The primary cause for the high quantum efficiency of the InGaN alloy in spite of high threading dislocation density caused by lattice misfit between GaN and sapphire substrate and severe built-in electric field of a few MV/cm due to the spontaneous and piezoelectric polarizations is generally known as the strong exciton localization trapped by lattice-parameter-scale In-N clusters in the random InGaN alloy. Nonetheless, violet-emitting (390 nm) conventional low-In-content InGaN/GaN multi-quantum wells (MQWs) show the degradation in internal quantum efficiency compared to blue-emitting (450 nm) MQWs owing higher In-content due to the less localization of carrier and the smaller band offset. We expected that an improvement of internal quantum efficiency in the violet region can be achieved by replacing the conventional low-In-content InGaN/GaN MQWs with ultra-thin, high-In-content (UTHI) InGaN/GaN MQWs because of better localization of carriers and smaller quantum-confined Stark effect (QCSE). We successfully obtain the UTHI InGaN/GaN MQWs grown via employing the GI technique by using the metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. In this work, 1 the optical and structural properties of the violet-light-emitting UTHI InGaN/GaN MQWs grown by employing the GI technique in comparison with conventional low-In-content InGaN/GaN MQWs were investigated. Stronger localization of carriers and smaller QCSE were observed in UTHI MQWs as a result of enlarged potential fluctuation and thinner QW thickness compared to those in conventional low-In-content MQWs. We hope that these strong carrier localization and reduced QCSE can turn the UTHI InGaN/GaN MQWs into an attractive candidate for high efficient violet emitter. Detailed structural and optical characteristics of UTHI InGaN/GaN MQWs compared to the conventional InGaN/GaN MQWs will be given.

The object of this study was to evaluate the effect of the gibberellin treatment on fruit enlargement and ripening promotion in 'Niitaka' pear(Pyms pynfolia). Fruit weight was similar between $GA_{4+7}$ treatments and the gibberellin-paste control, but fairly increased of fruit weight compared to non-treatment Most effective time for $GA_{4+7}$ treatment to increase diameter and length was on 35 and 40 days after full bloom, respectively. Shape index was similar in all treatments. Fruit enlargement at the period of early growth, $GA_{4+7}$ 2.4% treatment was remarkably effective than $GA_{3}+GA_{4+7}$ 2.7% treatment or non-treatment However at the period of maturity, $GA_{4+7}$ 2.4% treatment and $GA_{3}+GA_{4+7}$ 2.7% treatment showed little differences in fruit enlargement and coloring. In maturing promotion effect, young fruit treated with $GA_{3}+GA_{4+7}$ showed similar fruit coloring to ethephon treatment on 35 days after full bloom, and both of those treatments promoted fruit coloring than non- treatment about 6 days. $GA_{3}+GA_{4+7}$ treatments resulted higher solid content and decreased acidity than non-treatment However, there was no differences in fruit hardness comparing to non-treatment As a result, gibberellin was most effective in fruit enlargement, so as all $GA_{3}+GA_{4+7}$ treatments were more effective on fruit enlargement than ethephon treatment or non-treatment Specifically, when $GA_{3}+GA_{4+7}$ was treated 35days after full bloom of flower, the diameter, the length and the shape of fruit index were best, and fruit coloring was good as well.

This paper was described electrical characteristics of Metal/GaN contact for application of GaN thin films. The lowest contact resistivity was $1.7\times10^{-7}[\Omega-cm^2]$ at Ti/Al Structure. Mean while, GaN MESFETs have been fabricated with a 250 nm thick channel on a high resistivity GaN layer grown by GAIVBE system. For a gate-source diode reverse bias of 35 V, the gate leakage current was $120{\mu}A$. From the data, we estimate the transconductance for our GaN MESFET to be 25 mS/mm.

Effects of Ga contents of CIGS absorber layer on the performance of thin films solar cells were investigated. As Ga content increased, the grain size of CIGS films decreased presumably because Ga diffusion during 2nd stage of co-evaporation process is more difficult than In diffusion. Performances of corresponding solar cell show systematic dependence on Ga content in which open circuit voltage increases and short circuit current and fill factor decrease as Ga contents increases. At a optimal condition of Ga/(In+Ga)=0.27, the solar cell shows a conversion efficiency of 15.6% with $V_{OC}$ of 0.625 V, $J_{SC}$ of 35.03 mA/$cm^2$ and FF of 71.3%.

GaN thin fan were grown by spin coated colloidal GaOOH precursor. Polycrystalline GaNs with crystalline size of $10{\sim}100nm$ were grown on $SiO_2$ substrate. The shape of crystallite above $900^{\circ}C$ had the hexagonal plate and column type. X-ray diffraction patterns for them correspond to those of the hexagonal wurtzite GaN. With increasing droplets. i.e, thickness of deposited layers, XRD intensity increased. PL (photoluminescence) spectrum consisted with an weak near band-edge emission at 3.45 eV and a broad donor-acceptor emission band at 3.32 eV. From the low temperature PL measurement on GaN grown at $800^{\circ}C$ that the shallow donor-acceptor recombination induced emission was more intense than the near band-edge excitonic emission.

본 논문에서는 순방향 특성의 열화 없이 항복전압 향상을 위해 플로팅게이트와 필드플레이트를 적용한 AlGaN/GaN HEMTs를 제작하였다. AlGaN/GaN HEMTs에서의 항복전압은 게이트의 하단의 전계분포와 관련이 있다. 제안된 AlGaN/GaN HEMTs의 경우 GaN 층의 공핍영역을 효과적으로 확장시킴으로써 게이트와 드레인 사이의 영역에서의 전계집중을 성공적으로 완화시켰다. 필드플레이트와 플로팅게이트가 모두 적용된 소자의 항복전압이 1106 V인 반면, 필드플레이트만 적용한 소자의 항복전압은 688 V, 플로팅게이트만 적용한 소자의 항복전압은 828 V로 측정되었다.

InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) grown with various growth interruptions between the InGaN well and GaN barrier by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition were investigated using photoluminescence, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and energy filtered transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM). The luminescence intensity of the MQWs with growth interruptions is abruptly reduced compared to that of the MQW without growth interruption. Also, as the interruption time increases the peak emission shows a continuous blue shift. Evidence of indium clustering is directly observed both by using an indium ratio map of the MQWs and from indium composition measurements along an InGaN well using EFTEM. The higher intensity and lower energy emission of light from the MQW grown without interruption showing indium clustering is believed to be caused by the recombination of excitons localized in indium clustering regions and the increased indium composition in these recombination centers.

We report on the epitaxial growth of tetragonal $DO_{22}$-type Mn3Ga films on GaSb (001) using molecular beam epitaxy and the related structural and magnetic properties. The as-studied $Mn_3Ga$ film was found to exhibit relatively small coercivity around 400 Oe, which differs greatly from the hard magnetic properties of $Mn_3Ga$ bulk specimen or films that are normally reported. This difference was probably attributed to the effects of the GaSb (001) substrate that forced the $Mn_3Ga$ film to be two-dimensionlly stabilized in the (114) orientation and thus led to the modified intrinsic properties of $Mn_3Ga$ films. The growth orientation of the Mn3Ga (114)//GaSb (001) also caused the easy magnetocrystalline direction located in the film plane due to the dominant shape anisotropy in the thin films.

Three kind of surface-leakage-test-patterns were fabricated and measured in order to investigate the surface leakage current of AlGaN/GaN heterostructures through etched GaN buffer surface and mesa wall. The pattern which contain the mesa wall has the largest surface leakage current among them. The leakage current due to the mesa wall is predominant source of the leakage current of AlGaN/GaN devices.

We have studied the properties of $GaAs_{1-x}P_x$ epitaxial films on the GaP using VPE method by CVD. The surface carrier concentration and PL power increased with increasing the epitaxial temperature while PL wave length decreased. The Power out of the LED with $GaAs_{1-x}P_x$/GaP structure decreased with increasing the epitaxial temperature while the forward voltage of the LED increased. Specially, The LED of $GaAs_{1-x}P_x$/GaP structure represents good electrical and optical properties when the $GaAs_{1-x}P_x$ layer was epitaxially grown at $810^{\circ}C$.
