We described the impact ionization rates of electron in GaAs/AlGaAs MQH(multi- quantum well) using EMC(ensenble Monte Carlo) simulation. Hot electron energy of injected into quantum well is increasing nearly liearly due to the applied electric field to the barrier of MQM inspite of various Al mole fraction in AlGaAs or barrier width. Impact ionization rates are decreasing exponentially by increasing Al mole fraction, and they have peak vague due to the barrier width.

In this paper, we present n-channel GaAs MOSFET having $Al_2O_3$ as gate in insulator fabricated on a semi-insulating GaAs substrate. 1 ${\mu}$m thick undoped GaAs buffer layer, 1500 ${\AA}$ thick n-type GaAs, undoped 500 ${\AA}$ thick AlAs layer, and 50 ${\AA}$ GaAs caplayer were subsequently grown by molecular beam epitaxy(MBE) on (100) oriented semi-insulating GaAs substrate oxidized. When it was wet oxidized, AlAs layer was fully converted $Al_2O_3$. The I-V, $g_m$, breakdown charateristics of the fabricated GaAs MOSFET showed that wet thermal oxidation of AlAs/GaAs epilayer/S${\cdot}$I GaAs was suitable in realizing depletion mode GaAs MOSFET.

고출력 반도체 레이저 다이오드는 발진 파장 및 광 출력에 따라 다양한 분야에 응용되고 있으며, 특히 발진파장이 808 nm 및 1470 nm 인 고출력 레이저 다이오드의 경우 재료가공, 펌핑용 광원 (DPSSL, 광섬유 레이저), 의료, 피부미용 (점 제거), 레이저 다이오드 디스플레이 등 가장 다양한 응용분야를 가진 광원 중의 하나라고 할 수 있다. 일례로 재료가공의 경우, 레이저 용접, 레이저 인쇄, 하드디스크의 레이저 텍스쳐링 등 그 응용분야는 무수히 많으며, 최근에는 미래 성장동력 사업의 하나로 중요한 이슈가 되는 태양전지에서 에지 분리 (edge isolation), ID 마킹, 레이저 솔더링 등에서 필수불가결한 광원으로 각광받고 있다. 808 nm 대역 In(Ga)AlAs quantum dots laser diode (QDLD) 성장을 위하여 In(Ga)AlAs QD active 와 In(Ga)AlAs QD LD 성장으로 크게 분류하여 여러 가지 test 실험을 수행하였다. 우선 In(Ga)AlAs QD LD 성장에 앞서 high power LD에 적용 가능한 GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well의 성장 및 전기 측정을 수행하여 그 가능성을 보았다.

Al alloys have been used widely for commercial and military ships in most ocean countries since mid-1950s, and the value as light metal with high mechanical strength has been proven. As the safety and fuel efficiency of Al ships have improved, she can carry more freight, sail faster and travel longer distances. Furthermore, in the shipbuilding industry, Al alloys are applied as structural materials for ships to various areas including the deck of luxurious cruises, battleships and leisure ships. In addition, Al alloys are being spotlighted as environmental-friendly material as they can be recycled even after end of lifespan. However, Al alloys for ships must be carefully selected after considering corrosion resistance, endurance, strength, and weldability in sea water environment. Al alloys to satisfy these conditions are used widely include 5000 series Al-Mg alloy and 6000 series Al-Mg-Si alloy. Thus, this study selected and evaluated the cavitation characteristics of the 5000 series Al alloys that are used in hulls that directly contact seawater and the 6000 Al alloys that are used in the upper structures of ships. Results of cavitation test with time, weightloss and cavitation rate of 5456-H116 showed the smallest damage among 5052-O, 5456-H116 and 6061-T6.

Self-assembled InAlAs/AlGaAs quantum dots (QDs) on GaAs substrates were grown by using modified molecular epitaxy beam in Stranski-Krastanov method. In order to study the structural and optical properties of InAlAs/AlGaAs QDs, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and photoluminescence (PL) measurements are conducted. The size and uniformity of QDs have been observed from the AFM images. The average widths and heights of QDs are increased as the deposition time increases. The PL spectra of QDs are composed of two peaks. The PL spectra of QDs were analyzed by the excitation laser power- and temperature-dependent PL, in which two PL peaks are attributed to two predominant sizes of QDs.

We investigated the effects of high potential barriers on the optical characteristics of InAs quantum dots (QDs) by using photoluminescence (PL) and photoreflectance (PR) spectroscopy. A sample with regular InAs quantum dots on GaAs was grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) as a reference. Another InAs QDs sample was embedded in single AlGaAs barriers. On the other hand, a sample with GaAs/AlGaAs superlattice barriers was adopted for comparison with a sample with a single AlGaAs layer. In results, we found that the emission wavelength of QDs was effectively tailored by using high potential barriers. Also, it was found that the optical properties of a sample with QDs embedded in GaAs/AlGaAs superlattices were better than those of a sample with QDs embedded in a single layer of AlGaAs barriers. We believe that GaAs/AlGaAs superlattice could effectively prevent the generation of defects.

Surface photovoltage spectroscopy was used to study $In_{0.5}(Ga_{1-x}Al_x)_{0.5}P/GaAs$ grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD). Energy gap related transition in GaAs and $In_{0.5}(Ga_{1-x}Al_x)_{0.5}P$ were observed. By measuring the frequency dependence of $In_{0.5}(Ga_{1-x}Al_x)_{0.5}P/GaAs$, we observed that SPV line shape does not chance, whereas the amplitude change. This results is due to the difference in the lifetimes of the photocarriers in GaAs and in $In_{0.5}(Ga_{1-x}Al_x)_{0.5}P$. We also have evaluated the parameters that describe the temperature dependences of the band gap.

This study investigated the possibility of reducing the residual aluminum (Al) in the treated water using polymers. Two raw waters (lake and river water) and three kinds of polymers (coagulant, flocculant, and filtration aids) were used for this purpose. This study found that coagulation at the high dose did not necessarily lead to the high concentration of the residual Al in the treated water. The coagulation efficacy was found more important in determining the residual Al than the coagulant dose. The use of a polymer enhanced the removal of turbidity as well as the residual Al. The coagulant aid removed the dissolved Al as well as the particulate Al by helping the coagulation and the solid-liquid separation. The flocculant aid and the filtration aid preferentially removed the particulate Al while helping the solid-liquid separation. The filtration aid reduced the residual Al substantially more effectively than the flocculant aid. The polyamine-based coagulant aid (FL) showed the better performance in reducing the residual Al and turbidity than DADMAC (WT). The cationic flocculant aid with weak charge density and the medium molecular weight (SC-020) showed the best performance in reducing the residual Al.

Aluminum hydroxides were prepared by the alkoxide hydrolysis method using Al-isopropoxide as a starting material and NH4OH as a catalytic agent. When Al-isopropoxide was hydrolyzed in a H2O-NH3 system, only Al(OH)3 was obtained over all pH values. However, AlOOH was formed besides Al(OH)3 when Al-isopropoxide was hydrolyzed in a H2O-NH3-isopropyl alcohol system. The AlOOH/Al(OH)3 ratio was increased as the isopropyl alcohol content was increased. The hydroxides, Al(OH)3 and AlOOH, obtained in this study and the commerical products, $\alpha$-Al2O3 and AlOOH were subjected to the carbothermal reduction and nitridation reaction to product AlN powder, using carbon black as a reducing agent under N2 atmosphere at various temperatures. AlN was synthesized from the obtained Al(OH)3 and the commercial AlOOH at 145$0^{\circ}C$, however, synthesized from the obtained AlOOH and the commercial alpha-alumina at 135$0^{\circ}C$. The temperature difference is assumed to be attributed to the reactivity of those powders. AlN powder prepared from the Al-isopropoxide was observed to have the narrower particle size distribution than that prepared from the commercial $\alpha$-Al2O3 or AlOOH.

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.
