A procedure was developed for preparing bulk carbon nitride crystals from a polymeric $\alpha$ -C$_3$N$\_$4.2/ at high pressure and temperature in the presence of seeds of crystalline carbon nitride films prepared by a high voltage discharge plasma combined with pulsed laser ablation of graphite target. The samples were evaluated by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), infrared (IR) spectroscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), secondary-ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). Notably, XPS studies of the film composition before and after thermobaric treatments demonstrate that the nitrogen composition in $\alpha$ -C$_3$N$\_$4.2/ material initially containing more than 58% nitrogen decreases during the annealing process and reaches a common, stable composition of ~45%. The thermobaric experiments were performed at 10-77 kbar and 350-1200 $\^{C}$.

$Nd:YVO_4$ 연속발진 레이저(CW laser:Continuous wave laser)로 제작한 다결정 실리콘 박막의 이온도핑 효과를 조사하였다. PECVD로 증착한 비정질 실리콘 박막을 CW 레이저를 조사하여 결정화한 후 $B_2H_6$ 플라즈마 이온 도즈량을 변화시켜 이온 도핑을 하고 급속열처리 방법과 퍼니스 어닐링 방법으로 도펀트 활성화를 하였다. 이온 도핑된 CW 다결정 실리콘 박막의 이온 도즈량에 따른 판저항 변화를 비교하고, 급속열처리(RTA: Rapid Thermal Annealing)와 퍼니스 어닐링(FA: Furnace Annealing) 전후의 결정성 변화를 라만 스펙트럼(Raman spectrum) 을 통하여 분석하였다. 이온 도즈량이 증가함에 따라 판저항은 감소하고, 어닐링 후 이온 도핑에 의해 손상된 박막이 복원됨을 확인 할 수 있다.

This study realized low-temperature crystallization process of the $Ba_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}TiO_3$ (BST) thin films without thermal damage of substrate using excimer laser annealing (ELA) and structural and electrical characteristics were investigated. The amorphous BST thin films were prepared on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate by sol-gel method at $250^{\circ}C$. The ELA was carried out using KrF excimer laser which provided excitation wavelength of 248 nm. The beam homogenizing system was used in order to homogenize beam shape of Gaussian fit. The XRD and SEM were used to analyze structural characteristics and the microwave capacitance, dielectric loss and tunability of the BST films were measured by a symmetrical stripline resonator method with shorted end. Consequently, the crystallinity of BST thin films were improved after ELA process and RF tunable capacitor was demonstrated at low temperature below $300^{\circ}C$.

Excimer laser annealing (ELA) 방법을 이용하여 결정화하고 게이트 절연체로써 high-k 물질을 가지는 다결정 실리콘박막 트랜지스터의 전기적 특성을 평가하였다. 다결정 실리콘 박막 트랜지스터는 비결정질 실리콘 박막 트랜지스터 보다 높은 전계 효과 이동도와 운전 용이한 장점을 가진다. 기존의 결정화 방법으로는 다결정 실리콘 박막 트랜지스터의 높은 열 공급을 피할 수 없기 때문에, 매몰 산화막 위의 비결정질 박막은 저온에서 다결정 실리콘 결정화를 위해 KrF excimer laser (248nm)를 이용하여 가열 냉각 공정을 했다. 게다가 케이트 절연체로써 atomic layer deposition (ALD) 방법에 의해 저온에서 20 nm의 고 유전율을 가지는 $HfO_2$ 박막을 증착하였다. 알루미늄은 n-MOS 박막 트랜지스터의 게이트 전극으로 사용되었다. 금속 케이트 전극을 사용하여 게이트 공핍 효과와 관계되는 케이트 절연막 두께의 증가를 예방할 수 있고, 게이트 저항의 감소에 의해 소자 속도를 증가 시킬 수 있다. 추가적으로, 비결정질 실리콘 박막의 결정화 기술로써 사용된 ELA 방법은 SPC (solid phase crystallization) 방법과 SLS (sequential lateral solidification) 방법에 의해 비교되었다. 결과적으로, ELA 방법에 의해 결정화된 다결정 실리콘 박막의 결정도와 표면 거칠기는 SPC와 SLS 방법에 비해 개선되었다. 또한, 우리는 ELA 결정화 방법에 의한 다결정 실리콘 박막 트랜지스터로부터 우수한 소자 특성을 얻었다.

Laser-induced plasmonic sintering of metal nanoparticles (NPs) holds significant promise as a technology for producing flexible conducting electrodes. This method offers immediate, straightforward, and scalable manufacturing approaches, eliminating the need for expensive facilities and intricate processes. Nevertheless, the metal NPs come at a high cost due to the intricate synthesis procedures required to ensure long-term reliability in terms of chemical stability and the prevention of NP aggregation. Herein, we induced the self-generation of metal nanoparticles from Ag organometallic ink, and fabricated highly conductive electrodes on flexible substrates through laser-assisted plasmonic annealing. To demonstrate the practicality of the fabricated flexible electrode, it was configured in a mesh pattern, realizing multi-touchable flexible touch screen panel.

In this study, Bi-Sb thin film structure was prepared by thermal evaporation method. The electrical, optical transmission and structural characteristics of the prepared samples were introduced before and after thermal annealing process. At temperature of $500^{\circ}C$, the absorption of the structure was improved to reach 97% at near-infrared region. As well, the thermal annealing caused to reduce the bulk resistance of the Bi-Sb thin film structure. The morphology of Bi-Sb structure was also improved by thermal annealing as characteristic islands of the structure appear clearly in form hexagonal areas distinct from each other. This study is aiming to examine such structures if they are employed as photonic devices such as photodetectors, LED's and optical switches.

Si thin films on p-type (100) Si substrate have been fabricated by pulsed laser deposition technique using a Nd:YAG laser. The pressure of the environmental gas during deposition was varied from 1 to 3 Torr. After deposition, Si thin film has been annealed again at nitrogen ambient. Strong violet-indigo photoluminescence have been observed from Si thin film annealed in nitrogen ambient gas. As increasing environmental gas pressure, weak green and red emissions from annealed Si thin films also observed by photoluminescence.

Lasers are used increasingly for specialized engineering applications such as drilling, profile cutting, welding and surface heat-treatment(hardening, alloying, annealing0 of metals and non-metals. The most important characteristics of lasers used for these materials-processing applications are reviewed, with special emphasis on the importance of the controlled heating process. In addition to these processes, some optical devices and supplementary equipment used in laser processing are introduced. Finally, some examples shows the wide variety of laser capability for substitution of traditional materials processing.

Due to the heat confinement in the shallow region of the target for a short time scale, pulsed laser annealing has received increasing interest for the fabrication of poly-Si thin film transistors(TFTs) on glass as a low cost substrate in the flat panel displays. The formation and growth mechanisms of poly silicon(poly-Si) grains in thin films are investigated using an excimer laser crystallization system. To understand the crystallization mechanism, the grain formations are observed by FESEM analysis. The optical reflectance and transmittance during the crystallization process are measured using HeNe laser optics. A two-step ELC(Excimer Laser Crystallization) process is applied to enhance the grain formation uniformity.
