The binary chalcogenide semiconductor Bi2Se3 is at the center of intensive research on a new state of matter known as topological insulators. It has Dirac point in their band structures with robust surface states that are protected against external perturbations by strong spin-orbit coupling with broken inversion symmetry. Such unique band configurations were confirmed by recent angle-resolved photoelectron emission spectroscopy experiments with an unwanted n-type doping effect, showing a Fermi level shift of about 0.3 eV caused by atomic defects such as Se vacancies. Since the number of defects can be reduced using the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) method. We have prepared the Bi2Se3 film on noble metal Au(111) and semiconductor Si(111) substrates by MBE method. To characterize the film, we have introduced several surface sensitive techniques including x-ray photoemission electron spectroscopy (XPS) and micro Raman spectroscopy. Also, crystallinity of the film has been confirmed by x-ray diffraction (XRD). Using home-built scanning tunneling microscope, we observed the atomic structure of quintuple layered Bi2Se3 film on Au(111).

GaN 단결정 박막은 halide vapor phase epitaxy(HVPE)방법을 사용하여 사파이어 기판위에 헤케로에피탁시하게 성장시켰다. 이렇게 제조된 박막은 n형 전동성을 갖는다. 아연(Zn)을 받개 불순물로 도핑시켜 절연형 GaN 박막을 만들었는데 2.64과 2.43eV의 청색영역에서 발광 피크를 가졌다. 본 연구에의해 GaN 박막은 MIS(metal-insulator-semiconductor) 접합구조로 제작이 가능함을 시사하였고, 이종접합형 발광소자 개발에 기초자료가 될 것으로 전망된다.

The lithium ion diffusion coefficients of bare, carbon-coated and Cr-doped $LiFePO_4$ were obtained by fitting the discharge curves of each half cell with Li metal anode. Diffusion losses at discharge curves were acquired with experiment data and fitted to equations. Theoretically fitted equations showed good agreement with experimental results. Moreover, theoretical equations are able to predict lithium diffusion coefficient and discharge curves at various discharge rates. The obtained diffusion coefficients were similar to the true diffusion coefficient of phase transformation electrodes. Lithium ion diffusion is one of main factors that determine voltage drop in a half cell with $LiFePO_4$ cathode and Li metal anode. The high diffusion coefficient of carbon-coated and Cr-doped $LiFePO_4$ resulted in better performance at the discharge process. The performance at high discharge rate was improved much as diffusion coefficient increased.

Both an unreinforced $Al_2O_3$/Al matrix and a ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ particulate reinforced composite have been produced by the oxidation of an Al surface doped with NaOH in the absence of any other dopant. Fabrication of the matrix was initiated by the formation of $NaAlO_2$, which provides a favorable surface structure for the matrix formation by breaking the protective $Al_2O_3$ layer on Al. During the matrix growth, the external surface of the growth front was covered with a very thin sodium-rich oxide. A cyclic formation process of the sodium-rich oxide on the growth surface was proposed for the sodium-induced directed metal oxidation process. This process involves dissolution of the sodium-rich oxide, motion of Na to the growth front, and re-formation of the oxide on the surface. Near-net-shape composites were fabricated by infiltrating an $Al_2O_3$/Al matrix into a ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ particulate preform, without growth barrier materials. The infiltration distance increased almost linearly in the NaOH-doped preform.

CMOS 축소화가 32nm node를 넘어서 지속적으로 진행되기 위하여 FinFET, Surround Gate and Tri-Gate와 같은 Fully Depleted 3-Dimensional 소자들이 SCE를 다루기 위해서 많이 제안되어 왔다. 하지만 소자의 축소화를 진행함에 있어서 좁고 균일한 patterning을 형성하는 것과 동시에 낮은 Extension Region과 Contact Region에서의 Series Resistance을 제공하여야 하고 Source/Drain Contact Formation을 확보하여야 한다. 그리고 소자의 축소화가 진행됨으로써 Silicide의 응집현상과 Source/Drain Junction의 누설전류에 대한 허용범위가 점점 엄격해지고 있다. ITRS 2005에 따르면 32nm CMOS에서는 Contact Resistivity가 대략 $2{\times}10-8{\Omega}cm2$이 요구되고 있다. 또한 Three Dimensional 소자에서는 Fin Corner Effect가 Channel Region뿐만 아니라 S/D Region에서도 중대한 영향을 미치게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서 제시하는 Novel S/D Contact Formation 기술을 이용하여 Self-Aligned Dual/Single Metal Contact을 이루어Patterning에 대한 문제점 해결과 축소화에 따라 증가하는 Contact Resistivity 문제점을 해결책을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 검증하기3D MOSFET제작하고 본 기술을 적용하고 검증한다. 또한 Normal Doping 구조를 가진3D MOSFET뿐만 아니라 SCE를 해결하기 위해서 대안으로 제시되고 있는 SB-MOSFET을 3D 구조로 제작하고, 이 기술을 적용하여 검증한다. 그리고 Silvaco simulation tool을 이용하여 S/D에 Metal이 Contact을 이루는 구조가 Double type과 Triple type에 따라 Contact Resistivity에 미치는 영향을 미리 확인하였고 이를 실험으로 검증하여 소자의 축소화에 따라 대두되는 문제점들의 해결책을 제시하고자 한다.

The electron band structure of manganese-adsorbed graphene on an SiC(0001) substrate has been studied using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Upon introducing manganese atoms, the conduction band of graphene, that is observed in pristine graphene indicating intrinsic electron-doping by the substrate, completely disappears and the valence band maximum is observed at 0.4 eV below Fermi energy. At the same time, the slope of the valence band decreases by the presence of manganese atoms, approaching the electron band structure calculated using the local density approximation method. The former provides experimental evidence of the formation of nearly free-standing graphene on an SiC substrate, concomitant with a metal-to-insulator transition. The latter suggests that its electronic correlations are efficiently screened, suggesting that the dielectric property of the substrate is modified by manganese atoms and indicating that electronic correlations in grpahene can also be tuned by foreign atoms. These results pave the way for promising device application using graphene that is semiconducting and charge neutral.

Alkaline oxygen electrocatalysis, targeting anion exchange membrane alkaline-based metal-air batteries has become a subject of intensive investigation because of its advantages compared to its acidic counterparts in reaction kinetics and materials stability. However, significant breakthroughs in the design and synthesis of efficient oxygen reduction catalysts from earth-abundant elements instead of precious metals in alkaline media still remain in high demand. One of the most inexpensive alternatives is carbonaceous materials, which have attracted extensive attention either as catalyst supports or as metal-free cathode catalysts for oxygen reduction. Also, carbon composite materials have been recognized as the most promising because of their reasonable balance between catalytic activity, durability, and cost. In particular, heteroatom (e.g., N, B, S or P) doping on carbon materials can tune the electronic and geometric properties of carbon, providing more active sites and enhancing the interaction between carbon structure and active sites. Here, we focused on boron and nitrogen doped nanocarbon composit (BNC nanocarbon) catalysts synthesized by a solution plasma process using the simple precursor of pyridine and boric acid without further annealing process. Additionally, guidance for rational design and synthesis of alkaline ORR catalysts with improved activity is also presented.

Oxide ($SnO_2$)/metal alloy (Cu(Ni))/oxide ($SnO_2$) multilayer films were fabricated using the magnetron sputtering technique. The oxide and metal alloy were $SnO_2$ and Ni-doped Cu, respectively. The structural, optical, and electrical properties of the multilayer films were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectrophotometry, and 4-point probe measurements, respectively. The properties of the $SnO_2/Cu(Ni)/SnO_2$ multilayer films were dependent on the thickness and Ni doping of the mid-layer film. Since Ni atoms inhibit the diffusion and aggregation of Cu atoms, the grain growth of Cu is delayed upon Ni addition. For $250^{\circ}C$, the Haccke's figure of merit (FOM) of the $SnO_2$ (30 nm)/Cu(Ni) (8 nm)/$SnO_2$ (30 nm) multilayer film was evaluated to be $0.17{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}^{-1}$.

One of the most promising emerging technologies for the next generation of nonvolatile memory devices based on resistive switching (RS) is the resistive random-access memory mechanism. To date, RS effects have been found in many transition metal oxides. However, no clear evidence has been reported that ZnO-based resistive transition mechanisms could be associated with strong correlation effects. Here, we investigated N, F-co-doped ZnO (NFZO), which shows bipolar RS. Conducting micro spectroscopic studies on exposed surfaces helps tracking the behavioral change in systematic electronic structural changes during low and high resistance condition of the material. The significant difference in electronic conductivity was observed to attribute to the field-induced oxygen vacancy that causes the metal-insulator Mott transition on the surface. In this study, we showed the strong correlation effects that can be explored and incorporated in the field of multifunctional oxide electrons devices.

In this paper, a lateral power metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor with ultra-low specific on-resistance is proposed to be applied to a high-voltage (up to 200 V) integrated chip. The proposed structure has two characteristics. Firstly, a high level of drift doping concentration can be kept because a tilt-implanted p-drift layer assists in the full depletion of the n-drift region. Secondly, charge imbalance is avoided by an extended trench gate, which suppresses the trench corner effect occurring in the n-drift region and helps achieve a high breakdown voltage (BV). Compared to a conventional trench gate, the simulation result shows a 37.5% decrease in $R_{on.sp}$ and a 16% improvement in BV.
