We have developed a low-temperature, and low-pressure radical induced oxidation (RIO) technology, so that high-quality ultrathin silicon dioxide layers have been effectively produced with a high reproducibility, and successfully employed to realize high performace SiGe heterostructure complementary MOSFETs (HCMOS) lot the first time. The obtained oxide layer showed comparable leakage and breakdown properties to conventional furnace gate oxides, and no hysteresis was observed during high-frequency capacitance-voltage characterization. Strained SiGe HCMOS transistors with a 2.5 nm-thick gate oxide layer grown by this method exhibited excellent device properties. These suggest that the present technique is particularly suitable for HCMOS devices requiring a fast and high-precision gate oxidation process with a low thermal budget.

In this paper, the Numerov method is applied to solve the Schroedinger equation for $Al_{0.3}Ga_{0.7}AS/GaAs/Al_{0.3}Ga_{0.7}As$ double-heterojunction HEMT structures. The 3 subband energy levels, corresponding wave functions, 2-dimensional electron gas density, and conduction band edge profile are calculated from a self-consistent iterative solution of the Schroedinger equation and the Poisson equation. In addition, 2-dimensional electron gas densities in a quantum well of double heterostructure are calculated as a function of applied gate voltage. The density in the double heterojunction quantum well is increased to about more than 90%, however, the transconductance of the double heterostructure HEMT is not improved compared to that of the single heterostructure HEMT. Thus, double-heterojunction structures are expected to be suitable to increase the current capability in a HEMT device or a power HEMT structure.

Silicene is one of the most interesting two-dimensional materials, because of not only the extraordinary properties similar to graphene, but also easy compatibility with existing silicon-based devices. However, non-existing graphitic-like structure on silicon and unstable free-standing silicene structure leads to difficulty in commercialization of this material. Therefore, substrates are essential for silicene, which affects various properties of silicene and supporting unstable structure. For maintaining outstanding properties of silicene, van der Waals bonding between silicene and substrate is essential because strong interaction, such as silicene with metal, breaks the band structure of silicene. Therefore, we review the stability of silicene on other two-dimensional materials for van der Waals bonding. In addition, the properties of silicene are reviewed for silicene-based heterostructure.

A quantum-wire field effect transistor(QW-FET) using asymmetric double InGaAs channel and Si-delta doped barrier has been fabricated. It exhibited good modulation and saturation characteristic in the range of ${\mu}\textrm{A}$ current level. For estimated channel width of 150nm QW-FET, maximum transconductance was about 400 mS/mm which is higher than a conventional heterostructure FET(HFET) with the same epi-structure.

We report on the fabrication and photoelectrochemical(PEC) properties of a $Cu_2O$ thin film/ZnO nanorod array oxide p-n heterojunction structure with ZnO nanorods embedded in $Cu_2O$ thin film as an efficient photoelectrode for solar-driven water splitting. A vertically oriented n-type ZnO nanorod array was first prepared on an indium-tin-oxide-coated glass substrate via a seed-mediated hydrothermal synthesis method and then a p-type $Cu_2O$ thin film was directly electrodeposited onto the vertically oriented ZnO nanorods array to form an oxide semiconductor heterostructure. The crystalline phases and morphologies of the heterojunction materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy as well as Raman scattering. The PEC properties of the fabricated $Cu_2O/ZnO$ p-n heterojunction photoelectrode were evaluated by photocurrent conversion efficiency measurements under white light illumination. From the observed PEC current density versus voltage (J-V) behavior, the $Cu_2O/ZnO$ photoelectrode was found to exhibit a negligible dark current and high photocurrent density, e.g., $0.77mA/cm^2$ at 0.5 V vs $Hg/HgCl_2$ in a $1mM\;Na_2SO_4$ electrolyte, revealing an effective operation of the oxide heterostructure. In particular, a significant PEC performance was observed even at an applied bias of 0 V vs $Hg/HgCl_2$, which made the device self-powered. The observed PEC performance was attributed to some synergistic effect of the p-n bilayer heterostructure on the formation of a built-in potential, including the light absorption and separation processes of photoinduced charge carriers.

We have grown AlN/GaN heterostructure which is a promising candidate for mm-wave applications. For the growth of the high quality very thin AlN barrier, indium was introduced as a surfactant at the growth temperature varied from 750 to $1070^{\circ}C$, which results in improving electrical properties of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). The heterostructure with barrier thickness of 7 nm grown at of $800^{\circ}C$ exhibited best Hall measurement results; such as sheet resistance of $215{\Omega}/{\Box}$electron mobility of $1430cm^2/V{\cdot}s$, and two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) density of $2.04{\times}10^{13}/cm^2$. The high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) was fabricated on the grown heterostructure. The device with gate length of $0.2{\mu}m$ exhibited excellent DC and RF performances; such as maximum drain current of 937 mA/mm, maximum transconductance of 269 mS/mm, current gain cut-off frequency of 40 GHz, and maximum oscillation frequency of 80 GHz.

Ferroelectric properties of $SrBi_2TaNbO_9$ (SBTN) thin films were changed by the amount of Bi content in SBTN. We suggested that the addition of excess Bi into the films could be accomplished by heat-treating $SBTN/Bi_2O_3/SBTN$ heterostructure fabricated by r.f. magnetron sputtering method. Excess Bi composition was controlled by the thickness of the sandwiched $Bi_2O_3$ from 0 to $400\;\AA$. When the SBTN thin films were inserted by $400\;{\AA}\;Bi_2O_3$ layer, $Bi_2Pt$ phase was formed as a second phase in SBTN films, resulting in poor ferroelectric properties. The onset temperature for hysteresis loop can be reduced by heat treating $SBTN/Bi_2O_3/SBTN$ heterostructure. The films with $SBTN/Bi_2O_3(100\;{\AA})/SBTN$ hetero-structure followed by annealing at $650^{\circ}C$ for 30 min show 2Pr and Ec of $5.66\;{\mu}C/\textrm{cm}^2$ and 54 kV/cm, respectively.

Ferroelectric properties of{{{{ { { { {SrBi }_{2 }Ta }_{2-x }Nb }_{x }O }_{9 } }} (SBIN) thin films were affected by the amount of Bi content in SBTN. The addition of Bi into the SBTN films could be accomplished by heat treating SBTN/Bi2O3/SBTN het-erostructures fabricated by r.f. magnetron sputtering method. The variation of Bi content was controlled by changing the thickness of the sandwiched Bi2O3 in SBTN/Bi2O3/SBTN heterostructure from 50 to 400$\AA$. As changing the thickness of the sandwiched Bi2O3 in Bi2O3 films was increased from 0 to 100$\AA$ the grain grew faster and the ferroelectric pro-perties were improved. On the other hand when the thickness of Bi2O3 films was thicker than 150$\AA$ the fer-roelectric properties were deteriorated Especially for SBTN thin films inserted by 400$\AA$ Bi2O3 layer a Bi2Phase appeared as a second phase resulting in poor ferroelectric properties. The maximum remanent po-larization (2Pr) and coercive field(Ec) were obtained for the SBTN/Bi2O3/(100$\AA$)/SBTN thin films. In this case 2Pr and Ec were 14.75 $\mu$C/cm2 and 53.4kV/cm at an applied voltage of 3V respectively.

에너지 고갈 문제에 대한 대처 방안으로 수소에너지는 직간접적인 긍정적 효과를 가져온 반면, 사용시 안정성이 매우 중요한 사항이기 때문에 수소가스에 대한 정확하고 빠른 감지를 가능하게 하는 센서 기술이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 AlGaN/GaN 이종접합 반도체 플렛폼을 활용하여 Pd 촉매 기반의 수소센서를 개발하였으며 감도를 높이기 위하여 식각 구조를 도입하였다. 온도 및 바이어스 전압이 센서의 반응도에 미치는 영향을 수소가스 위험도 최하한선 농도인 4% 수소 농도에 노출된 경우에 대하여 세심하게 분석하였다. AlGaN/GaN 이종접합의 우수한 특성에 식각 구조가 도입된 결과 56%의 높은 반응도와 0.75 초의 빠른 응답 속도 성능을 달성하였다.
