Lithium niobate ($LN:LiNbO_3$) is a compound of niobium, lithium and oxygen. The characteristics of LN are piezoelectricity, ferroelectricity and photoelectricity, and which is widely used in surface acoustic wave (SAW). To manufacture LN devices, the LN surface should be a smooth surface and defect-free because of optical property, but the LN material is processed difficult b traditional processes such as grinding and mechanical polishing (MP) because of its brittleness. To decrease defects, chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) was applied to the LN wafer. In this study, the suitable parameters such as down force and relative velocity, were investigated for the LN CMP process To improve roughness, the LN CMP was performed using the parameters that were the highest removal rate among process parameters. And, evaluation of optical property was performed by the optical reflectance.

$K_3$$Li_2$$Nb_5$$O_{15}$KLN) 단결정을 $K_x$$Li_{1-x}$$NbO_3$의 조성에서 x= 0.04~0.6으로 결정성장방법으로 성장시켰다. 균열이 없는 양질의 결정성장을 위해 c축 및 a축 방향을 택하였고, 단결정 성장을 위한 최적의 조건에 대하여 연구하였다. 성장된 결정은 편광현미경 관찰을 통해 일축성 무늬를 볼수 있었고, X-선 회절실험에서 결정된 격자상수는 a=b=12.500 $\AA$, c=3.996$\AA$이었으며, 1HF : $2HNO_3$ 용액의 부식에서 c축 방향으로 정사각형 및 a축 방향으로 직사각형의 부식상을 볼수 있었다. 광투과율 측정과 온도에 따른 유전상수 측정등을 통해 KLN 결정의 광학적 특성 및 다른 조성을 갖는 시료에서 유전특성을 조사하였다. $420^{\circ}C$에서 상전이 온도를 갖는 결정은 확산상전이(diffuse phase transition) 특성을 갖는 반면 $493^{\circ}C$에서 상전이 온도를 보이는 결정은 날카로운(shap) 유전특성을 나타내었다.

Ferroelectric Lithium niobate ($LiNbO_3$) thin films are fabricated on $Al_2O_3$(0001) substrate using Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD). The various deposition conditions such as substrate temperature, oxygen pressure, and post annealing condition are investigated to deposite c-axis oriented $LiNbO_3$ thin films. Highly c-axis oriented thin films are obtained under the conditions of working pressure of 100 mTorr, deposition for 10 min at $450^{\circ}C$, and in-situ annealing for 40 min. The $LiNbO_3$ thin films are chemically etched after electric poling and the etched configurations are studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM).

We have demonstrated a $Ti:LiNbO_3$ electro-optic electric-field sensor utilizing a $1{\times}2$ Y-fed balanced-bridge Mach-Zehnder interferometric (YBB-MZI) modulator, which uses a 3-dB directional coupler at the output and has two complementary output waveguides. A dc switching voltage of ~25 V and an extinction ratio of ~12.5 dB are observed at a wavelength of $1.3{\mu}m$. For a 20 dBm rf input power, the minimum detectable electric fields are ~8.21, 7.24, and ~13.3 V/m, corresponding to dynamic ranges of ~10, ~12, and ~7 dB at frequencies of 10, 30, and 50 MHz respectively. The sensors exhibit almost linear response for an applied electric-field intensity from 0.29 V/m to 29.8 V/m.

The energetics of defects in the presence of domain walls in $LiNbO_3$ are characterized using density-functional theory calculations. Domain walls show stronger interactions with antisite defects than with interstitial defects or vacancies. As a result, antisite defects act as a strong pinning center for the domain wall in $LiNbO_3$. Analysis of migration behavior of the antisite defects across the domain wall shows that the migration barrier of the antisite defects is significantly high, such that the migration of antisite defects across the domain wall is energetically not preferable. However, further study on excess electrons shows that the migration barrier of antisite defects can be lowered by changing the charge states of the antisite defects. So, excess electrons can enhance the migration of antisite defects and thus facilitate domain wall movement by weakening the pinning effect.
