  • It is identified that the diamond films grown o bias-treated (100) silicon showed different surface morphologies and film textures according to the initial applied dc bias voltage at the same growth condition. The highly oriented diamond film (HODF) was successfully grown on -200 V bias-treated silicon substrate in which the heteroepitaxial relation of $(100)_{dimond}//(100)_{si}\; and\; [110]_{diamond}//[110]_{si}$ was identified. On the contrary, the heteroepitaxial relation was considerably disturbed in the samples bias-voltage was a key factor in growing the highly oriented diamond film on (100) silicon substrate. Considering the experimental results, we proposed a new model about heteroepitaxial diamond growth on silicon, in which 9 diamond unit cell are matched with 4 silicon cells and the bond covalency of both atoms is satisfied via the intermediate layer at the interface as well.

  • The growth and the film characteristics of heteroepitaxial $Si_{1-x}Ge_x$ films growth by the Rapid Thermal Chemical Vapor Deposition(RTCVD)method are described. For the growth of $Si_{1-x}Ge_x$ heteroepitaxial layers, $SiH_4/GeH_4/H_2$gas mixtures are used. The growth conditions are varied to investigate their effects on the Si/Ge composition ratios, the interface abruptness and crystalline properties. The Si/Ge composition ratios are analyzed with the RBS and the SIMS techniques, and the interface abruptness are deduced from these data. The crystalline properties are analyzed from TEM pictures. The experimental data shows that the crystalline perfection is excellent at the growth temperature of as low as $650^{\circ}C$, and the composition ratios change linearly with $SiH_4/GeT_$$ gas mixing ratios in our experimental ranges. Boron doping experiments are also performed using 200 ppm $B_2H_6$ source gas. The doping profiles are measured with SIMS technique. The SIMS data shows that the doping abruptness can be controlled within about 200$\AA$/decade.

  • Heteroepitaxial GaN nano- and micro-rods (NMRs) are one of the most promising structures for high performance optoelectronic devices such as light emitting diodes, lasers, solar cells integrated with Si-based electric circuits due to their low dislocation density and high surface to volume ratio. However, heteroepitaxial GaN NMRs growth using a metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) machine is not easy due to their long surface diffusion length at high growth temperature of MOVPE above $1000^{\circ}C$. Recently some research groups reported the fabrication of the heteroepitaxial GaN NMRs by using MOVPE with vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) technique assisted by metal catalyst. However, in the case of the VLS technique, metal catalysts may act as impurities, and the GaN NMRs produced in this mathod have poor directionallity. We have successfully grown the vertically well aligned GaN NMRs on Si (111) substrate by means of self-catalystic growth methods with pulsed-flow injection of precursors. To grow the GaN NMRs with high aspect ratio, we veried the growth conditions such as the growth temperature, reactor pressure, and V/III molar ratio. We confirmed that the surface morphology of GaN was strongly influenced by the surface diffusion of Ga and N adatoms related to the surrounding environment during growth, and we carried out theoretical studies about the relation between the reactor pressure and the growth rate of GaN NMRs. From these results, we successfully explained the growth mechanism of catalyst-free and mask-free heteroepitaxial GaN NMRs on Si (111) substrates. Detailed experimental results will be discussed.

  • This paper describes the heteroepitaxial growth of single-crystalline 3C-SiC (cubic silicon carbide) thin films on Si (100) wafers by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) at 1350 oC for micro/nanoelectromechanical system (M/NEMS) applications, in which hexamethyldisilane (HMDS, Si2(CH3)6) was used as a safe organosilane single-source precursor. The HMDS flow rate was 0.5 sccm and the H2 carrier gas flow rate was 2.5 slm. The HMDS flow rate was important in obtaing a mirror-like crystalline surface. The growth rate of the 3C-SiC film in this work was 4.3 μm/h. A 3C-SiC epitaxial film grown on the Si (100) substrate was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman scattering, respectively. These results show that the main chemical components of the grown film were single-crystalline 3C-SiC layers. The 3C-SiC film had a very good crystal quality without twins, defects or dislocations, and a very low residual stress.

  • Off-axis 고주파 마그네트론 스퍼터링법으로 사파이어(0001) 기판 위에 이종에피텍셜 ZnO 박막을 제조하였다. ZnO 박막의 결정성은 증착압력, RF power 그리고 기판온도의 공정조건 변화에 많은 영향을 받았으며, 스퍼터링된 입자의 적당한 kinetic energy와 기판표면에서의 표면이동도(surface mobility)가 조화를 이룰 때 결정성이 우수한 이종에피텍셜 박막을 을 얻을 수 있었다. 이종에피텍셜 ZnO 박막의 Photoluminescence(PL) 특성 측정 결과, 저온(17K)에서 약 3.36 eV의 자외선 영역 발광을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 상온에서도 3.28 eV의 자외선 영역 발광을 관찰할 수 있었다. ZnO 박막을 산소 분위기에서 열처리함에 따라 결정성은 향상되는 반면 자외선 영역의 발광은 급격히 감소하는 경향을 보였다.

  • Recently, many studies on growth of single crystal diamond using MPECVD have been conducted. The heteroepitaxial method is one of the methods for growing diamonds on a large-area substrate, and research on synthesis of single crystal diamonds using SrTiO3, MgO, and sapphire substrates has been attempted. In addition, research is being conducted to reduce the internal stress generated during diamond growth and to improve the crystallinity of the diamond. The compressive stress generated therein causes peeling and bowing from the substrate. This study aimed to synthesize heteroepitaxial single crystal diamonds with high crystallinity by surface modification. A diamond thin film was first grown on a sapphire/Ir substrate by MPECVD, and then etched with H2 gas to modified the morphology and roughness of the surface. A secondary diamond layer was grown on the surface, and the internal stress, crystallinity of the diamond were investigated. As a result, the fabrication of single crystal diamonds with improved crystallinity was confirmed.

  • The heteroepitaxial growth of InP and GaInAs on GaAs substrates has been studied by using a new combination of source materials: ethyldimethylindium (EDMIn) and trimethylgallium (TMGa) as group III sources, and tertiarybutylarsine (TBAs) and tertiarybutylphosphine (TBP) as group V sources. Device quality InP heteroepitaxial layers were obtained by using a two-step growth process under atmospheric pressure, involving a growth of an initial nucleation layer at low temperature followed by high temperature annealing and the deposition of epitaxial layer at a growth temperature. The continuity and thickness of nucleation layer were important parameters. The InP layers deposited at 500$^{\circ}$- 55$0^{\circ}C$ are all n-type, and the electron concentration decreases with decreasing TBP/EDMIn molar ratio. The excellent optical quality was revealed by the 4.4 K photoluminescence (PL) measurement with the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 4.94 meV. Epitaxial Ga\ulcorner\ulcorner\ulcornerIn\ulcorner\ulcorner\ulcornerAs layers have been deposited on GaAs substrates at 500$^{\circ}$ - 55$0^{\circ}C$ by using InP buffer layers. The composition of GaInAs was determined by optical absorption measurements.
