A structure in which GaAs and AlGaAs epilayers are formed with a metal organic chemical vapor deposition equipment on a GaAs wafer similar to the structure of making a vertical cavity surface emitting laser is used. Photonic Quantum Ring (PQR) devices that are naturally generated by 3D resonance are manufactured by chemically assisted ion beam etching technology, which is a dry etching method. A new technology that can be fabricated has been studied, and as a result, the possibility of wet etching of a solution containing phosphoric acid, hydrogen peroxide and methanol was investigated, and the device fabrication by applying this method are also discussed. In addition, the spectrum of the fabricated optical device was measured, and the results were theoretically analyzed and compared with the wavelength value obtained by the measurement. It is expected that the PQR device will be able to model cells in a three-dimensional shape or be applied to the display field.

ZnO nanostructures have a lot of interest for decades due to its varied applications such as light-emitting devices, power generators, solar cells, and sensing devices etc. To get the high performance of these devices, the factors of nanostructure geometry, spacing, and alignment are important. So, Patterning of vertically- aligned ZnO nanowires are currently attractive. However, many of ZnO nanowire or nanorod fabrication methods are needs high temperature, such vapor phase transport process, metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy, thermal evaporation, pulse laser deposition and thermal chemical vapor deposition. While hydrothermal process has great advantages-low temperature (less than $100^{\circ}C$), simple steps, short time consuming, without catalyst, and relatively ease to control than as mentioned various methods. In this work, we investigate the dependence of ZnO nanowire alignment and morphology on si substrate using of nanosphere template with various precursor concentration and components via hydrothermal process. The brief experimental scheme is as follow. First synthesized ZnO seed solution was spun coated on to cleaned Si substrate, and then annealed $350^{\circ}C$ for 1h in the furnace. Second, 200nm sized close-packed nanospheres were formed on the seed layer-coated substrate by using of gas-liquid-solid interfacial self-assembly method and drying in vaccum desicator for about a day to enhance the adhesion between seed layer and nanospheres. After that, zinc oxide nanowires were synthesized using a low temperature hydrothermal method based on alkali solution. The specimens were immersed upside down in the autoclave bath to prevent some precipitates which formed and covered on the surface. The hydrothermal conditions such as growth temperature, growth time, solution concentration, and additives are variously performed to optimize the morphologies of nanowire. To characterize the crystal structure of seed layer and nanowires, morphology, and optical properties, X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) studies were investigated.

DLC(diamond-like carbon)필름은 다이아몬드와 유사한 강도, 낮은 마차계수, 높은 Optical band gap, NEA(negative electron affinity)등의 우수한 특성을 가지고 있어, 내마모 코팅이나 정보저장 매체의 윤활 코팅, FED(field emission display)의 전계방출소자등 다양한 분야에의 응용이 연구되고 있다. DLC 필름은 PECVD(plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition), IBAD(ion beam assisted deposition), Laser ablation, Cathodic vacuum arc등의 process를 이용하여 증착되고 있다. 특히 이러한 필름의 물성은 입사되는 이온의 에너지에 의해 좌우되는데, Lifshitz 등의 연구에 의하여 hyperthermal species를 이용한 DLC 필름의 성장은 초기에 subsurface로의 shallow implantation이 일어난 후 높은 sp3 fraction을 갖는 필름이 연속적으로 성장한다는 subplantation model이 제시 되었다. 본 연구에서는 기판과 subplantation 영역이 이후 계속하여 증착되는 순수 DLC 필름의 특성 변호에 미치는 영향에 대하여 관심을 가지고 실험을 행하였다. 본 실험에서는 상기 제시되어 있는 방법보다도 더욱 정확하고도 독립적으로 탄소 음이온의 에너지와 flux를 조절할 수 있는 Cs+ ion beam sputtering system을 이용하여 탄소 음이온의 에너지를 40eV에서 200eV까지 변화시키며 필름을 증착하였다. Si(100) 웨이퍼를 기판으로 사용하였고 증착 압력은 5$\times$10-7torr 였으며 인위적인 기판의 가열은 하지 않았다. 또한 Ion beam deposited DLC film의 growth process를 연구하기 위하여 200eV의 탄소 음이온을 시간(증착두께)을 변수로 하여 증착하였고, 이 때에는 Kaufman type의 gas ion beam을 이용하여 500eV의 Ar+ ion으로 pre-sputering을 행하였다. 탄소 음이온의 에너지와 증착두께에 따라 증착된 film 내의 sp3/sp2 ratio 의 변화를 XPS plasmon loss 와 Raman spectra를 이용하여 분석하였다. 또한 증착두께에 따른 interlayer의 결합상태를 관찰하기 위하여 AES와 XPS 분석을 보조로 행하였다.

The fabrication process of thin boron-doped nanocrystalline diamond (B-NCD) microelectrodes on fused silica single mode optical fiber cladding has been investigated. The B-NCD films were deposited on the fibers using Microwave Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition (MW PA CVD) at glass substrate temperature of 475 ℃. We have obtained homogenous, continuous and polycrystalline surface morphology with high sp³ content in B-NCD films and mean grain size in the range of 100-250 nm. The films deposited on the glass reference samples exhibit high refractive index (n=2.05 at λ=550 nm) and low extinction coefficient. Furthermore, cyclic voltammograms (CV) were recorded to determine the electrochemical window and reaction reversibility at the B-NCD fiber-based electrode. CV measurements in aqueous media consisting of 5 mM K₃[Fe(CN)₆] in 0.5 M Na₂SO₄ demonstrated a width of the electrochemical window up to 1.03 V and relatively fast kinetics expressed by a redox peak splitting below 500 mV. Moreover, thanks to high-n B-NCD overlay, the coated fibers can be also used for enhancing the sensitivity of long-period gratings (LPGs) induced in the fiber. The LPG is capable of measuring variations in refractive index of the surrounding liquid by tracing the shift in resonance appearing in the transmitted spectrum. Possible combined CV and LPG-based measurements are discussed in this work.
