원자층 두께의 전이금속 칼코겐화합물(transition-metal dichalcogenide, TMD) 기반 반도체 소재는 그래핀과 비슷한 구조의 이차원구조를 지니는 소재로서 조절 가능한 밴드갭 뿐만 아니라 우수한 유연성, 투명성 등 다양한 장점으로 인해 다양한 미래사회의 전자소자에 활용될 수 있는 소재로서 각광받고 있다. 하지만 이러한 TMD 소재들은 수분과 산소에 매우 취약하다는 단점 때문에 대기안정성을 해결할 수 있는 다양한 시도가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 핫픽업 전사기술을 이용하여 TMD 반도체 소재 중 하나인 WSe₂ 와 이차원 절연체 h-BN와의 수직 헤테로 구조를 제작하여 WSe₂의 대기 안정성을 향상시키기 위한 연구를 수행하였으며, h-BN/WSe₂ 구조를 활용하여 WSe₂ 기반 고성능 전계효과 트랜지스터 제작에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 제작된 소자의 전기적 특성을 분석한 결과, h-BN에 의해 표면이 안정화된 WSe₂ 기반 소자는 대기안정성 뿐만 아니라 150 ㎠/Vs의 상온 정공 이동도, 3×10⁶의 온/오프 전류비, 192 mV/decade의 서브문턱스윙 등 우수한 전기적 특성을 갖는다는 것 또한 확인할 수 있었다.

We have developed a photoemission-assisted plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PAPE-CVD) [1,2], in which photoelectrons emitting from the substrate surface irradiated with UV light ($h{\nu}$=7.2 eV) from a Xe excimer lamp are utilized as a trigger for generating DC discharge plasma as depicted in Fig. 1. As a result, photoemission-assisted plasma can appear just above the substrate surface with a limited interval between the substrate and the electrode (~10 mm), enabling us to suppress effectively the unintended deposition of soot on the chamber walls, to increase the deposition rate, and to decrease drastically the electric power consumption. In case of the deposition of DLC gate insulator films for the top-gate graphene channel FET, plasma discharge power is reduced down to as low as 0.01W, giving rise to decrease significantly the plasma-induced damage on the graphene channel [3]. In addition, DLC thickness can be precisely controlled in an atomic scale and dielectric constant is also changed from low ${\kappa}$ for the passivation layer to high ${\kappa}$ for the gate insulator. On the other hand, negative electron affinity (NEA) of a hydrogen-terminated diamond surface is attractive and of practical importance for PAPECVD, because the diamond surface under PAPE-CVD with H2-diluted (about 1%) CH4 gas is exposed to a lot of hydrogen radicals and therefore can perform as a high-efficiency electron emitter due to NEA. In fact, we observed a large change of discharge current between with and without hydrogen termination. It is noted that photoelectrons are emitted from the SiO2 (350 nm)/Si interface with 7.2-eV UV light, making it possible to grow few-layer graphene on the thick SiO2 surface with no transition layer of amorphous carbon by means of PAPE-CVD without any metal catalyst.

$AlO_x$ 박막 소자를 제작하여 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. 소자는 Electrode를 Top-bottom구조로 제작하였으며 스위칭 특성을 연구하기 위해 전극간의 $AlO_x$ 박막의 전도특성이 측정되었다. 박막소자의 저항변화는 전압을 선형적으로 인가하여 측정하였다. 제작된 소자는 MIM구조로써 외부에서 인가하는 전기적 신호에 의하여 전기전도도가 큰 On-state와 전기전도도가 낮은 Off-state로 바뀌는 특성을 나타내었다. 본 연구에 사용된 $AlO_x$ 박막은 초기 저항 상태가 저저항 On 상태였으며, 전압을 인가함에 따라 저저항 On 상태와 고저항 Off 상태의 가역적 저항 변화 특성을 나타내었다. 본 연구를 통하여 $AlO_x$ 박막소자는 차세대 비휘발성 메모리로는 물론 다른 전기적 응용도 기대되는 물질임을 확인하게 되었다.

In the superconducting $Sr_2VO_3FeAs$, containing bimetallic layers, with maximum $T_c{\approx}\;46\;K$ correlation effects on V ions have been investigated using LDA+U method. Within the local density approximation (LDA) this system has the one-third filled $t_{2g}$ manifold of V, decomposed into $d_{xy}$ of bandwidth W=2 eV and nearly degenerate $d_{zx}d_{yz}$ of W=1 eV. Consideration of correlation effects leads to a metal-insulator transition on V ions $t^{2\uparrow}_{2g}\;{\rightarrow}\;d^{1\uparrow}_{xz}\;d^{1\uparrow}_{yz}$ at the critical on-site Coulomb repulsion $U_c$= 3.5 eV. At U=4 eV, the electronic structure, in which V ions are insulating, leads to several van Hove singularities near $E_F$ and similar Fermiology with other pnictides. Applying U to V ions results in increasing Fe moment as well as V moment, indicating somewhat hybridization between Fe and V ions even though this system is strongly 2-dimesional. Our results show possible importance of correlation effects on this system.

By harnessing the thermal hysteresis behavior of vanadium dioxide($VO_2$), we demonstrated multi-resistance states in a two-terminal electronic device based on a $VO_2$ thin film by using a 966nm infrared laser diode as an excitation light source for resistance modulation. Before stimulating the device using 966nm laser pulses, the thermal hysteresis behavior of the device resistance was measured by using a temperature chamber. After that, the $VO_2$ device was thermally biased at ${\sim}71.6^{\circ}C$ so that its temperature fell into the thermal hysteresis region of the device resistance. Six multi-states of the device resistance could be obtained in the fabricated $VO_2$ device by five successive laser pulses with equal 10ms duration and increasing power. Each resistance states were maintained while the temperature bias was applied. And, the resistance fluctuation level was within 2.2% of the stabilized resistance and decreased down to less than 0.9% of the stabilized resistance 5s after the illumination.

With a collimated $CO_2$ laser beam, the bidirectional current switching was realized in a two-terminal electronic device based on a highly resistive vanadium dioxide($VO_2$) thin film. A $VO_2$ thin film was grown on a $Al_2O_3$ substrate by a pulsed laser deposition method. For the fabrication of a two-terminal electronic device, the $VO_2$ thin film was etched by an ion beam-assisted milling method, and the $VO_2$ device, of which $VO_2$ patch width and electrode separation were 50 and $100{\mu}m$, respectively, was fabricated through a photolithographic method. A bias voltage range for stable bidirectional current switching was found by using the current-voltage property of the device measured in a current-controlled mode. The transient responses of bidirectionally switched currents were analyzed when the laser was modulated at a variety of pulse widths and repetition rates. A switching contrast was measured as ~3333, and rising and falling times were measured as ~39 and ~21ms, respectively.

By incorporating a 966nm near infrared laser, we demonstrated bidirectional current triggering of between 0 and 10mA in a two-terminal planar device based on a highly resistive vanadium dioxide ($VO_2$) thin film grown by a pulsed laser deposition method. A two-terminal planar device, which had an electrode separation of $100{\mu}m$ and a $50{\mu}m-wide$ $VO_2$ conducting layer, was fabricated through ion beam-assisted milling and photolithographic techniques. A bias voltage range for stable bidirectional current triggering was determined by investigating the current-voltage curves of the $VO_2-based$ device in a current-controlled mode. Bidirectional current triggering of up to 10mA was realized by directly illuminating the $VO_2$ film with a focused infrared laser beam, and the transient responses of triggered currents were analyzed when the laser was modulated at various pulse widths and repetition rates. A switching contrast between off- and on-state currents was evaluated as ~3571, and the rising and falling times were measured as ~40 and ~20ms, respectively.

Vanadium dioxide ($VO_2$) has been widely attracted for academic research and industrial applications due to its metal-insulator transition (MIT) temperature close to room temperature. We synthesized VOx film on (0001) sapphire substrate with vanadium target (purity: 99.9%) using DC magnetron sputtering in Ar ambience at a pressure of $10^{-3}$ Torr at $400{\sim}700^{\circ}C$. The VOx film subsequently was annealed at difference temperatures in ambience of Ar and $O_2$ gas mixture at $60{\sim}800^{\circ}C$. The structural properties of the films were investigated using scanning electron microscopic (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) measurements. SEM reveal that small grains formed on the substrates with a roughness surface. XRD shows oriented $VO_2$(020) crystals was deposited on the $Al_2O_3$(006) substrate. From I-V measurements, the electric resistance near its MIT temperature were dramatically changed by ${\sim}10^4$ during heating and cooling the films. We will also discuss the temperature-dependent local structural changes around vanadium atoms using XAFS measurements.

Giant magnetoresistance (GMR), tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR), and magnetic random-access memory (MRAM) are currently active areas of research. Magnetite, Fe3O4, is predicted to possess as half-metallic nature, ~100% spin polarization (P), and has a high Curie temperature (TC~850 K). On the other hand, Spinel ferrite CoFe2O4 has been widely studies for various applications such as magnetorestrictive sensors, microwave devices, biomolecular drug delivery, and electronic devices, due to its large magnetocrystalline anisotropy, chemical stability, and unique nonlinear spin-wave properties. Here we have investigated the magneto-transport properties of epitaxial CoxFe3-xO4 thin films. The epitaxial CoxFe3-xO4 (x=0; 0.4; 0.6; 1) thin films were successfully grown on MgO (100) substrate by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The quality of the films during growth was monitored by reflection high electron energy diffraction (RHEED). From temperature dependent resistivity measurement, we observed that the Werwey transition (1st order metal-insulator transition) temperature increased with increasing x and the resistivity of film also increased with the increasing x up to $1.6{\Omega}-cm$ for x=1. The magnetoresistance (MR) was measured with magnetic field applied perpendicular to film. A negative transverse MR was disappeared with x=0.6 and 1. Anomalous Hall data will be discussed.

이산화바나듐은 섭씨 68도에서 금속-절연체 상전이 특성을 나타내는 써모크로믹(thermochromic) 소재로서, 상전이 현상이 일어날 때 광학적, 전기적 성질이 급격히 변화하며, 이러한 상전이 현상은 가역적인 특성을 가지고 있다. 이산화바나듐의 금속-절연체 상전이 현상을 응용하기 위하여 상전이 온도를 상온 부근으로 낮추고자하는 많은 시도들이 있었으며, 직경 100 nm의 1차원 나노구조를 갖는 이산화바나듐 나노와이어의 경우 $29^{\circ}C$ 근처에서 상전이 현상이 일어남이 보고되었다. 본 연구에서는 기상 수송 방법(vapor transport method)을 사용하여 1차원 또는 2차원 나노구조를 갖는 이산화바나듐을 성장시켰다. 특히 동일한 성장 조건에서도 기판에 따라 다른 형태로 이산화바나듐이 성장하는 것을 확인하였다. 즉 Si 기판($Si{\setminus}SiO_2$(300 nm) 위에서는 1차원 나노와이어 형태의 이산화바나듐이 성장하였고, 그래핀 나노시트 위에서 합성된 이산화바나듐은 2차원 또는 3차원 나노구조를 가지고 성장하였다. 바나듐 옥사이드 나노구조체의 성장에 사용된 Si 웨이퍼 위에 박리-전사된 그래핀 나노시트 기판과 thermal CVD 시스템으로 성장된 1D 또는 2D & 3D 나노 구조를 갖는 $VO_2$의 결정학적 특성을 Raman 분광학으로 분석하였다. Raman 분석결과 성장된 바나듐 옥사이드는 $VO_2$ 상을 갖는 것을 확인하였다.
