Even though nano-scale materials were very advantageous for various applications, there are still problems to be solved such as the stabilization of surface state and realization of low contact resistances between a semiconducting nanowire and electrodes in nano-electronics. It is well known that the effects of contacts barrier between nano-channel and metal electrodes were dominant in carrier transportation in individual nano-electronics. In this report, it was investigated the electrical properties of GaN nanorod devices after chemical etching and rapid thermal annealing for making good contacts. After KOH wet-etching of the contact area the devices showed better electrical performance compared with non-treated GaN individual devices but still didn't have linear voltage-current characteristics. The shape of voltage-current properties of GaN devices were improved remarkably after rapid thermal annealing as showing Ohmic behaviors with further bigger conductivities. Even though chemical etching of the nanorod surfaces could cause scattering of carriers, in here it was shown that the most important and dominant factor in carrier transport of nano-electronics was realization of low contact barrier between nano-channel and metal electrodes surely.

We present a detailed analysis of the light extraction efficiency (LEE) of a core-shell nanorod light emitting diode (LED) using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. We found that the LEE has a deep dependence on source positions and polarization directions based on the calculated LEE results for every x and z position inside the core-shell nanorod structure. The LEEs are different for the upper part (pyramid) and the lower part (sidewall) of the core-shell nanorod owing to total internal reflection (TIR) and the generated optical modes in the structure. As a result, the LEE of sidewall is much larger than that of pyramid. The averaged LEE of the core-shell nanorod LED is also investigated with variable p-GaN thickness, n-GaN thickness, and height for the design guidelines for the optimized LEE of core-shell nanorod LEDs.

질화물 기반 물질은 발광다이오드의 효율 향상과 함께 널리 연구되는 물질의 하나이다. 그러나, 고유의 물성적 특성으로 인한 압전전기장 효과는 넓은 가시광영역에서 궁극적 효율 달성을 위한 장애가 되고 있다. 이를 극복하기 위한 방법 중 하나는 나노 구조이며, 특히 비극성면을 통한 나노구조의 구현은 압전전기장 효과를 제거할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 그러나, 현재까지 이를 위한 질화물 나노로드의 구현은 보통의 경우 발생하는 반극성면의 발현으로 인해 기술적 어려움이 많았다. 이를 위해 제시되는 방법 중 하나인 반복적 성장 기법을 통한 본 그룹의 성공적 나노로드의 구현과 함께, nucleation 조건의 변화에 따른 성장 과정을 분석하여 미래의 고효율 3차원 나노구조 발광 소자를 위한 단서를 제공하고자 한다. Fig. 1은 수소(a)와 질소(b)를 850도부터 1,050도까지 성장 온도를 달리하여 성장했을 때의 모양 변화를 나타내며 이를 통한 GaN nanorod 성장 영향에 대하여 논하고자 한다.

GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with ZnO nanorod arrays on a planar indium tin oxide (ITO) transparent electrode were demonstrated. ZnO nanorods were grown into aqueous solution at low temperature of $90^{\circ}C$. Under 20 mA current injection, the light output efficiency of the LED with ZnO nanorod arrays on ITO was remarkably increased by about 40 % of magnitude compared to the conventional LED with only planar ITO. The enhancement of light output by the ZnO nanorod arrays is due to the formation of side walls and a rough surface resulting in multiple photon scattering at the LED surface.

Si (111) 기판 위에 plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy 법으로 Si과 Mg doping된 GaN 나노막대를 각 각 성장하고 나노막대의 모양과 광학적 특성을 조사하였다. Si이 doping된 GaN 나노막대는 biaxial m-plane 방향의 변화로 별 모양을 갖는 것을 관찰하였고 Mg doping된 GaN 나노막대의 지름은 줄어드는 것을 scanning electron microscopy로 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 변화의 원인을 stress 때문으로 보고 x-ray diffraction과 raman scattering 측정을 통하여 구조적 변화를 조사하였다. 또한, stress에 의한 GaN 나노막대의광학적 특성 변화를 photoluminescence을 통하여 조사하였다. Doping한 GaN 나노막대의 특성조사를 통해 GaN 나노막대 성장 시 발생되는 stress의 영향을 이해하는데 중요한 정보를 제공할 것이다.

Vertically well-aligned Ga-doped ZnO nanorods with different Ga contents were grown by thermal evaporation on a ZnO template. The Ga-doped ZnO nanorods synthesized with 50 wt % Ga with respect to the Zn content showed maximum compressive stress relative to the ZnO template, which led to a rapid growth rate along the c-axis due to the rapid release of stored strain energy. A further increase in the Ga content improved the conductivity of the nanorods due to the substitutional incorporation of Ga atoms in the Zn sites based on a decrease in lattice spacing. The p-n diode structure with Ga-doped ZnO nanorods, as a n-type, displayed a distinct white light luminescence from the side-view of the device, showing weak ultraviolet and various deep-level emissions.
