$Al_xGa_{1-x}N$ thin layers are promising materials for optical devices in the UV regions. $Al_xGa_{1-x}N$ thin layers w were grown on sapphire substrates by metalorgaruc chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The molar Al fraction and crystallinity of layers were deduced from synchrotron x-ray scattering experiment. Surface morphology were investigated using SEM and SPM. $Al_xGa_{1-x}N$ layers crystallinity were related with undoped GaN crystallinity. The Al mole fraction of $Al_xGa_{1-x}N$ layers affect the surface morphology of $Al_xGa_{1-x}N$ layers. The surface morphology was rough­e ened and the cracks were obse$\pi$ed by increasing the Al mole fractions.

This paper reports on a thermodynamic analysis for the GaN thick film growth by vapor phaseepitaxy method. The thermodynamic calculation was performed using a chemical stoichiometric algorism. Thesimulation variables include the growth temperature in a range 400~1500 K, the gas ratios $(GaCl_3)/(GaCl_3+NH_3)$and $(N_2)/(GaCl_3+NH_3)$. The theoretical calculation predicts that the growth temperature of GaN be in thelower range of 450~750 K than the experimental results. The difference in the growth temperature betweenthe simulation and the experiments indicates that the vapor phase epitaxy of GaN is kinetically limited,presumably, due to the high activation energy of thin film growth.

InGaN/GaN MQW 구조는 청색 및 녹색 범위의 밴드 갭을 가지는 반도체로 최근 LED 및 LD 제조 등에 이용되고 있다. InGaN/GaN MQW은 InGaN와 GaN의 최적 성장온도의 중간온도에서 실행된다. InGaN와 GaN는 최적 성장온도의 차이가 크므로 중간온도에서 성장 시에 많은 결함이 생긴다. 성장온도가 높으면 InN가 분해되고 낮을 경우에는 질소의 결핍이 일어난다. 최적성장온도의 선택이 매우 중요한 문제로 주목되었다. Si 도핑으로 중간온도 성장 시에 형성되는 결함을 감소시키고 광학적 특성을 향상시킨다고 보고되었다. 그러나, Si 도핑효과에 대한 구체적이고 체계적인 연구는 부족한 실정이다. MQWs 구조의 GaN 장벽층에 미치는 성장온도와 Si 도핑 효과를 이해하기 위해서는 고온에서 성잠시킨 GaN박막(HT-GaN) 위에 중간온도에서 성장된 GaN 에피층(IT-GaN)의 구조에 관한 연구가 선행되어야한다. 본 연구에서는 HT-GaN 위에 성장된 GaN 에피층에 미치는 성장 온도와 Si 도핑 효과에 관해 연구하였다.

GaN films were prepared on Si(111) substrates by hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) on HCl-NH$_3$-N$_2$gas system. Effects of HCl gas flow rate on the film investigate under deposition conditions of flow time of 10min, 20min, 30min. The deposition rate increased with increasing HCl gas flow rate in the range of 10cc/min to 40cc/min and deposition time. Strung (00.2) oriented GaN film was obtained at a lower HCl flow rate and improved of the surface morphology.

We analyze the current density - voltage (J - V) curve of a Cu(In,Ga)$Se_2$ (CIGS) thin-film solar cell measured at different irradiation power densities. For the solar-cell sample investigated in this study, the fill factor and power conversion efficiency decreased as the irradiation power density (IPD) increased in the range of 2 to 5 sun. Characteristic parameters of solar cell including the series resistance ($r_s$), the shunt resistance ($r_{sh}$), the photocurrent density ($J_L$), the saturation current density ($J_s$) of an ideal diode, and the coefficient ($C_s$) of the diode current due to electron-hole recombination via ionized traps at the p-n interface are determined from a theoretical fit to the experimental data of the J - V curve using a two-diode model. As IPD increased, both $r_s$ and $r_{sh}$ decreased, but $C_s$ increased.

Photo-assisted wet chemical etching of GaN thin film was studied using KOH based solutions. A $2{\mu}m-2{\mu}m$ titanium line-and-space pattern was used as a etching mask. It is found that the etching characteristics of the GaN thin film is strongly dependent on the pattern direction by unisotropic property of KOH based solution. When the pattern was aligned to the [$11\bar{2}0$] directions, ($10\bar{1}n$)-facet is revealed constructing V-shaped sidewalls.

In order to form a p-type ZnO thin film, ZnO thin film is deposited by pulsed laser deposition(PLD) on GaAs substrate followed by nermal treatment that ensures the diffusion of As atoms from the GaAs substrate to the ZnO thin films. Photoluminescence (PL) measurement reveals that the improved qualify of ZnO thin films is acquired at the growth temperature of $400^{\circ}C$. It is ZnO film grown at $100^{\circ}C$ that shows the change from n-type to p-type by the thermal treatment. Measured carrier concentration in the film is changed from $-5.70{\times}10^{13}\;to\;9.09{\times}10^{18}$.

The characteristics of Ga-doped zinc oxide (GZO) thin films deposited at different deposition temperatures (TS~250 to $550^{\circ}C$) on 4H-SiC have been investigated. Structural and electrical properties of GZO thin film on n-type 4H-SiC(0001) were investigated by using x-ray diffraction(XRD), atomic force microscopy(AFM), Hall effect measurement, barrier height from I-V curve and Auger electron spectroscopy(AES). XRD $2\theta$ scan shows GZO thin film has preferential orientation with c-axis perpendicular to SiC substrate surface. The lowest resistivity ($\sim1.9{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$) was observed for the GZO thin film deposited at $400^{\circ}C$. As deposition temperature increases, barrier height between GZO and SiC was increased. Whereas, resistivity of GZO thin films as well as barrier height between GZO and SiC were increased after annealing process in air atmosphere. It has been found that the c-axis oriented crystalline quality as well as the relative amount of activated Ga3+ ions and oxygen vacancy may affect the electrical properties of GZO films on SiC.
