Low-temperature epitaxial growth of Si and SiGe layers of Si is one of the important processes for the fabrication of the high-speed Si-based heterostructure devices such as heterojunction bipolar transistors. Low-temperature growth ensures the abrupt compositional and doping concentration profiles for future novel devices. Especially in SiGe epitaxy, low-temperature growth is a prerequisite for two-dimensional growth mode for the growth of thin, uniform layers. UHV-ECRCVD is a new growth technique for Si and SiGe epilayers and it is possible to grow epilayers at even lower temperatures than conventional CVD's. SiH and GeH and dopant gases are dissociated by an ECR plasma in an ultrahigh vacuum growth chamber. In situ hydrogen plasma cleaning of the Si native oxide before the epitaxial growth is successfully developed in UHV-ECRCVD. Structural quality of the epilayers are examined by reflection high energy electron diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Nomarski microscope and atomic force microscope. Device-quality Si and SiGe epilayers are successfully grown at temperatures lower than 600℃ after proper optimization of process parameters such as temperature, total pressure, partial pressures of input gases, plasma power, and substrate dc bias. Dopant incorporation and activation for B in Si and SiGe are studied by secondary ion mass spectrometry and spreading resistance profilometry. Silicon p-n homojunction diodes are fabricated from in situ doped Si layers. I-V characteristics of the diodes shows that the ideality factor is 1.2, implying that the low-temperature silicon epilayers grown by UHV-ECRCVD is truly of device-quality.

In this work, ZnO films doped with different contents of Indium (0.1at.%, 0.3at.%, 0.6at.%, respectively) were deposited on Si (111) substrate that has 1~20 $\Omega$cm by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) at $600^{\circ}C$ for 30min. The thickness of the films are about 250 nm. The structural, optical and electrical properties of the films were investigated using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Atomic force microscope (AFM), Photoluminescence (PL) and Hall measurement. It has been found that RMS of the films is decreased and grain size is increased with increasing the contents of doped Indium. The results of the Photoluminescence properties were indicated that the films have UV emission about 380nm and shows a little red shitf with increasing contents of doped indium. The result of the Hall measurement shows that the concentration and resisitivity in doped ZnO are as changing as one order, respectively ${\sim}10^{18}/cm^2$, ${\sim}10^{-2}cm{\Omega}cm$.

갈륨-질화물(GaN) 기반의 고속전자이동도 트랜지스터(high electron mobility transistor, HEMT)는 최근 마이크로파 또는 밀리미터파 등의 고주파 대역의 통신시스템에 널리 사용되는 전자소자이자, 차세대 고주파용 전력 소자로 각광받고 있다. AlGaN/GaN HEMT에서 AlGaN층과 GaN층의 이종접합 구조(heterostructure)는 두 물질 간의 큰 전도대의 불연속성으로 인해 발생하는 이차원 전자가스(two-dimensional electron gas, 2DEG) 채널을 이용하여 높은 전자이동도, 높은 항복전압 및 우수한 고출력 특성을 얻는 것이 가능하다. 그러나 이린 이론적인 우수한 특성에도 불구하고 실제 AlGaN/GaN HEMT 소자에서는 AlGaN 표면과 AlGaN과 GaN 층 사이 접합면, AlGaN과 GaN 벌크층에 존재하는 트랩의 영향으로 이론보다 낮은 DC 출력 특성을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 표면, 접합면, 벌크 층에 존재하는 트랩들을 각각의 존재 유무에 따라 시뮬레이션 함으로써 각각의 트랩이 DC 특성에 미치는 영향에 대해서 알아본다. 또한 소스와 게이트, 드레인과 게이트간의 거리에 따라 표면 트랩에 따른 영향과 AlGaN층과 GaN 층의 두께를 변화시켜가면서 각 층의 두께에 따라 벌크 트랩이 DC 특성에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 본 논문에서 트랩에 따른 특성의 파악을 위해서 $ATLAS^{TM}$를 이용하여 전산모사 하였다.

Both MgO and $Sc_2O_3$ are shown to provide low interface state densities (in the $10^{11}{\;}eV^{-1}{\;}cm{\;}^{-2}$ range)on n-and p-GaN, making them useful for gate dielectrics for metal-oxide semiconductor(MOS) devices and also as surface passivation layers to mitigate current collapse in GaN/AlGaN high electron mobility transistors(HEMTs).Clear evidence of inversion has been demonstrated in gate-controlled MOS p-GaN diodes using both types of oxide. Charge pumping measurements on diodes undergoing a high temperature implant activation anneal show a total surface state density of $~3{\;}{\times}{\;}10^{12}{\;}cm^{-2}$. On HEMT structures, both oxides provide effective passivation of surface states and these devices show improved output power. The MgO/GaN structures are also found to be quite radiation-resistant, making them attractive for satellite and terrestrial communication systems requiring a high tolerance to high energy(40MeV) protons.

This paper describes the new types of ngative differential resistance (NDR) IC applications which use a monolithic quantum-effect device technology based on the RTD/HBT heterostructure design. As a digital IC, a low-power/high-speed MOBILE (MOnostable-BIstable transition Logic Element)-based D-flip flop IC operating in a non-return-to-zero (NRZ) mode is proposed and developed. The fabricated NRZ MOBILE D-flip flop shows high speed operation up to 34 Gb/s which is the highest speed to our knowledge as a MOBILE NRZ D-flip flop, implemented by the RTD/HBT technology. As an analog IC, a 14.75 GHz RTD/HBT differential-mode voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with extremely low power consumption and good phase noise characteristics is designed and fabricated. The VCO shows the low dc power consumption of 0.62 mW and good F.O.M of -185 dBc/Hz. Moreover, a high-speed CML-type multi-functional logic, which operates different logic function such as inverter, NAND, NOR, AND and OR in a circuit, is proposed and designed. The operation of the proposed CML-type multi-functional logic gate is simulated up to 30 Gb/s. These results indicate the potential of the RTD based ICs for high speed digital/analog applications.

본 연구에서는 meltback 방법으로 mesa 모양을 형성하기 위하여 여러 가지 농도의 용액으로 meltback을 하였으며 InP 기판위에 InGaAsP 활성층과 InP cap층을 가지는 웨이퍼에 mesa 모양을 형성하기 위해서는 성장온도에서 성장용액의 80%인 InGaAsP(1.55$\mu$m)용액이 가장 적합한 것으로 확인되었다. meltback 방법만으로 PBH-LD(planar buried heterosturcture laser diode)를 제작하기 위한 완전한 mesa를 형성하기는 어려우며, 따라서 본 연구에서는 화학에칭에 이어 Meltback 방법을 이용하여 mesa 모양을 형성하고 연속하여 전류 차단층을 형성시킨 PBH-LD(planar buried heterosturcture laser diode)를 제작하였다. 이렇게 제작된 MQW-PBH-LD의 전기 광학적 특성은 공진기 길이가 $300{\mu}m$일 때 임계전류는 10mA, 내부양자효율은 82%, 내부손실은 $9.2cm^{-1}$, 특성온도는 $25~45^{\circ}C$ 사이에서는 65K, $45~65^{\circ}C$사이에서는 42K이었다.

A non-volatile resistive random access memory (RRAM) device with a Cr-doped $SrZrO_3/SrRuO_3$ bottom electrode heterostructure was fabricated on $SrTiO_3$ substrates using pulsed laser deposition. During the deposition process, the substrate temperature was $650^{\circ}C$ and the variable ambient oxygen pressure had a range of 50-250 mTorr. The sensitive dependences of the film structure on the processing oxygen pressure are important in controlling the bistable resistive switching of the Cr-doped $SrZrO_3$ film. Therefore, oxygen pressure plays a crucial role in determining electrical properties and film growth characteristics such as various microstructural defects and crystallization. Inside, the microstructure and crystallinity of the Cr-doped $SrZrO_3$ film by oxygen pressure were strong effects on the set, reset switching voltage of the Cr-doped $SrZrO_3$. The bistable switching is related to the defects and controls their number and structure. Therefore, the relation of defects generated and resistive switching behavior by oxygen pressure change will be discussed. We found that deposition conditions and ambient oxygen pressure highly affect the switching behavior. It is suggested that the interface between the top electrode and Cr-doped $SrZrO_3$ perovskite plays an important role in the resistive switching behavior. From I-V characteristics, a typical ON state resistance of $100-200\;{\Omega}$ and a typical OFF state resistance of $1-2\;k{\Omega}$, were observed. These transition metal-doped perovskite thin films can be used for memory device applications due to their high ON/OFF ratio, simple device structure, and non-volatility.
