We examined the effects of alloying elements such as Fe, Ga, In, Sn, Mg, and Mn on the electrochemical characteristics of Al-based alloys for Al-air batteries by potentiodynamic polarization tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The corrosion potential of an Al anode was lowered by the addition of Ga and Sn, resulting in an increase in the cell voltage compared with a pure Al electrode. Fe was not beneficial to improve the electrochemical properties of the Al anode in that it caused a decrease in the cell voltage and reduced corrosion rate slightly. In, Mn, Sn, and Mg decreased the corrosion rate of the Al alloys, while Ga enhanced corrosion significantly and accelerated consumption of the anode.

This paper report sthe design, fabrication and characterization of an AlGaAs/GaAs HBT (heterojunction bipolar transistor) with an air-bridge isolation structure which is made to improve high frequency characteristics for the application to the mobile communication system in the next genration. We found that the size, shape and structure of HBT have an effect on the high frequency operation. The measured dc and ac characteristics of the four type HBTs were compared and analyzed. An E-type HBT with an air-bridge structure by undercut etching exhibited .beta.=56, $V_{off-set}$ = 0.3 V, B $V_{CEO}$=7.0V with $f_{T}$=40 GHz and $f_{max}$=45GHz at a collector current density of 7.1*10$^{4}$ A/c $m^{2}$.>.

High power, short wavelength red laser diodes (LDs) have attracted significant interests in a variety of fields due to their advantages in terms of reliability, compactness and cost. The higher brightness for human eyes is required, the shorter wavelength like 630 nm is necessary with higher output power. In this respect, LDs are promising as alternative candidates of gas or dye lasers for such applications due to their small size, high optical/electrical power conversion efficiency, robustness and so on. The crystalline quality of GaInP-AlGaInP multiple quantum wells (MQWs) and AlInP cladding layers is a crucial part in the device performance of GaInP red LDs. Here, we first investigated the effect of Si diffusion on the optical properties of GaInP-AlGaInP MQWs grown with different growth temperatures. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) measurements revealed that both the Mg and Si diffusion into MQW active region was significant. To reduce such diffusion, we employed undoped Mg and Si diffusion barrier and could improve the properties.Without both Mg and Si diffusion barriers, no lasing emission was observed. However, lasing emission was observed clearly for the red LDs with both Mg and Si diffusion barriers. We then investigated the temperature dependent optical properties of MQW layers grown with different well thicknesses (6, 8 and 10 nm). When the well thickness was 10 nm, the better crystalline quality was obtained. However, the observed LD performances were similar, probably due to the defects and impurities in the AlGaInP layer. Further investigation with the detailed analyses will be presented later.

We have proposed and fabricated a dual gate AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT), which exhibits the low leakage current and the high breakdown voltage for the high voltage switching applications. The additional gate between the main gate and the drain is specially designed in order to decrease the electric field concentration at the drain-side of the main gate. The leakage current of the proposed HEMT is decreased considerably and the breakdown voltage increases without sacrificing any other electric characteristics such as the transconductance and the drain current. The experimental results show that the breakdown voltage and the leakage current of proposed HEMT are 362 V and 75 nA while those of the conventional HEMT are 196 V and 428 nA, respectively.

본 연구에서는 상시불통형 p-GaN 전력반도체소자의 신뢰성 향상을 위해 p-GaN 게이트막 내부의 전계를 완화하고자 p-GaN 게이트 도핑농도의 계조화를 제안한다. TCAD 시뮬레이션으로 균일한 도핑농도를 갖는 소자와 문턱전압과 출력 전류 특성이 동일하도록 p형 농도를 계조화하고 최적화하였다. p-GaN 게이트층에서의 전계 감소로 소자의 게이트 신뢰성이 개선될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The photoluminescence was measured in GaAs-AlGaAs double-quantum-well structure at high magnetic field. Although the phototransition characteristics displayed a free-particle transition at low magnetic field, the change of free-particle transition into bound-exciton transition was observed at high magnetic field (above 10 T). A charged exciton formation due to charge-unbalanced electron-hole was identified by using a spin-polarized photoluminescence method. An increase of exciton formation due to the localization of free-particle at magnetic field was observed according to the increase of magnetic field.

무선 통신 시스템이 발달하고 정보의 양이 많아짐에 따라 고주파를 이용한 통신 시스템에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있다. 최근 이러한 고주파 통신 시스템을 optical fiber를 이용하여 구현(Radio-on-fiber system)하는 연구가 주목받고 있다. 무선 고주파 통신 시스템에서는 많은 수의 안테나 기지국이 필요하게 되는데 optical fiber를 이용하면 적은 전송 손실로 기지국간의 연결이 가능하게 된다. 안테나 기지국의 구축을 위해서 최근 InP High Electron Mobility Transistor(HEMT)를 이용하여 광 검출을 구현하는연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다.

The continuum elasticity model is applied to investigate quantitatively the growth features and nucleation mechanism of quantum dots, nanopits, and joint QDs-nanopits structures in GaInAlN quasyternary systems. We have shown that for GaInAlN material system at the critical strain of ${\varepsilon}^*=0.039$ the sign of critical energy and volume is changed. We assume that at ${\varepsilon}={\varepsilon}^*$ the mechanism of the nucleation is changed from the growth of quantum dots to the nucleation of nanopits. Obviously, at small misfit (${\varepsilon}$ < ${\varepsilon}^*$), the bulk nucleation mechanism dominates. However, at ${\varepsilon}$ > ${\varepsilon}^*$, when the energy barrier becomes negative as well as a larger misfit provides a low-barrier path for the formation of dislocations, the nucleation of pits becomes energetically preferable. The free energy of mixing for $Ga_{1-x-y}In_xAl_yN$ quasiternary system was calculated and studied and its 3D sketch was plotted.
