전해질 센서 감지막으로 사용되어 온 PVC 감지막은 센서 표면과의 낮은 부착력으로 인하여 센서 수명을 단축시켰고, 감지막의 규격화와 양산화가 어려웠다. 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 감지막 용액은 중성 캐리어(ionophore), 고분자 지지체(TEOS:DEDMS=1:3), 용매(에탄올) 그리고 촉매(염산)들을 혼합하여 sol-gel 방법으로 제조하였다. 그리고 감광성 고분자물질(THB30)로 만들어진 마이크로풀(micropool)내에 리프트-오프(lift-off) 기법으로 감지막을 형성하였다. 제작된 전해질 센서는 MISFET(metal-insulator-semiconductor field-effect transistor)의 전형적인 전기적 특성을 보였다. K-, Ca-, Na-ISFET은 넓은 농도범위에서 각각 53, 25, 50 mV/decade의 감도를 보였다. 감응시간은 약 90초이며 드리프트는 약 0.05 mV/hour였다. Sol-gel 법과 리프트-오프 기법은 감지감 형성에 적용될 수 있었으며, 센서의 규격화와 양산화를 개선시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

We analyzed the influence of post-annealing on Ga₂O₃/n-type 4H-SiC heterojunction diode. Gallium oxide (Ga₂O₃) thin films were deposited by radio frequency (RF) sputtering. Post-deposition annealing at 950℃ in an Oxygen atmosphere was performed. The material properties of Ga₂O₃ and the electrical properties of the diodes were investigated. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), X-Ray Diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images show a significant increase in the roughness and crystallinity of the O₂-annealed films. After Oxygen annealing X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) shows that the atomic ratio of oxygen increases which is related to a decrease in oxygen vacancy within the Ga₂O₃ film. The O₂-annealed diodes exhibited higher on-current and lower leakage current. Moreover, the ideality factor, barrier height, and thermal activation energy were derived from the current-voltage curve by increasing the temperature from 298 - 434K.

InP, III-V binary compound semiconductor, single crystal was grown by VGF (vertical gradient freeze) method using quartz ampoule and its electrical optical properties were investigated. Phosphorous powders were put in the bottom of quartz ampoule and Indium metal changed in conical quartz crucible hat was attached at the upper side position inside the quartz ampoule. It was vacuous under the pressure of 10-5 Torr and sealed up. In metal in the quartz crucible was melted at 1070$^{\circ}C$ and phophorous sublimated at 450$^{\circ}C$, there after it was diffused in In melt and so InP composition was formed. By cooling the InP composition melt (2$^{\circ}C$∼5$^{\circ}C$/hr of cooling rate) in range of 1070$^{\circ}C$∼900$^{\circ}C$, InP crystal was grown. the grown InP single crystals were investigated by X-ray analysis and polarized optical microscopy. Electrical properties of them were measured by Van der Pauw method. At the cooling rate of 2$^{\circ}C$/hr, its direction was (111), quality of the ingot ws better upper side of the ingot than lower. It was found that the InP crystals were n-type semiconductor and the carrier concentration, electron mobility and relative resistivity were 1015∼1016/㎤, 2x103∼3x104$\textrm{cm}^2$/Vsec and 2x10-1∼2x10-3Ωcm in the range of 150K∼300K, respectively.

The electrical, electronic, optical properties and the local structure of Nickel Oxide (NiO) thin film have been investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Reflection Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (REELS), UV-spectrometer,Hall Effect measurement and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The XPS results show that the Ni 2p spectra for all films consist of $Ni2p_{3/2}$ at around 854.5 eV which indicate the presence of Ni-O bond from NiO phase and for the annealed film at temperature above $200^{\circ}C$ shows the coexist Ni oxide and Ni metal phase. The REELS spectra showed that the band gaps of the NiO thin films were abruptly decreased with increasing temperature. The values of the band gaps are consistent with the optical band gaps estimated by UV-Spectrometer. The optical transmittance spectra shows that the transparency of NiO thin films in the visible light region was deteriorated with higher temperature due to existence of $Ni^0$. Hall Effect measurement suggest that the NiO thin films prepared at relatively low temperatures (RT and $100^{\circ}C$) are suitable for fabricating p-type semiconductor which showed that the best properties was achieved at $100^{\circ}C$, such as a low resistivity of $7.49{\Omega}.cm$. It can be concluded that the annealing process plays a crucial role in converting from p type to n type semiconductor which leads to reducing electrical resistivity of NiO thin films. Furthermore, the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectrum at the Ni K-edge was used to address the local structure of NiO thin films. It was found that the thermal treatments increase the order in the vicinity of Ni atom and lead the NiO thin films to bunsenite crystal structure. Moreover, EXAFS spectra show in increasing of coordination number for the first Ni-O shell and the bond distance of Ni-O with the increase of substrate temperature.

We fabricated a schottky barrier metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor(SB-MOSFET) by applying indium-tin-oxide(ITO) to the source/drain on a highly resistive GaN layer grown on a silicon substrate. The MOSFET, with 10 ${\mu}M$ gate length and 100 ${\mu}M$ gate width, exhibits a threshold gate voltage of 2.7 V, and has a sub-threshold slope of 240 mV/dec taken from the $I_{DS}-V_{GS}$ characteristics at a low drain voltage of 0.05 V. The maximum drain current is 18 mA/mm and the maximum transconductance is 6 mS/mm at $V_{DS}$=3 V. We observed that the spectral photo-response characterization exhibits that the cutoff wavelength was 365 nm, and the UV/visible rejection ratio was about 130 at $V_{DS}$ = 5 V. The MOSFET-type UV detector using ITO, has a high UV photo-responsivity and so is highly applicable to the UV image sensors.

금속 실리사이드 나노입자는 열적 및 화학적 안정성이 뛰어나고, 절연막내에 일함수 차이에 따라 깊은 양자 우물구조가 형성되어 비휘발성 메모리 소자를 제작할 수 있다. 그러나 단일 $SiO_2$ 절연막을 사용하였을 경우 저장된 전하의 정보 저장능력 및 쓰기/지우기 시간을 향상시키는 데 물리적 두께에 따른 제한이 따른다. 본 연구에서는 터널장벽 엔지니어링을 통하여 물리적인 두께는 단일 $SiO_2$ 보다는 두꺼우나 쓰기/지우기 동작을 위하여 인가되는 전기장에 의하여 상대적으로 전자가 느끼는 상대적인 터널 절연막 두께를 감소시키는 방법으로 동작속도를 향상 시킨 $SiO_2/Si_3N_4/SiO_2$ 및 $Si_3N_4/SiO_2/Si_3N_4$ 터널 절연막을 사용한 금속 실리사이드 나노입자 비휘발성 메모리를 제조하였다. 제조방법은 우선 p-type 실리콘 웨이퍼 위에 100 nm 두께로 증착된 Poly-Si 층을 형성 한 이후 소스와 드레인 영역을 리소그래피 방법으로 형성시켜 트랜지스터의 채널을 형성한 이후 그 상부에 $SiO_2/Si_3N_4/SiO_2$ (2 nm/ 2 nm/ 3 nm) 및 $Si_3N_4/SiO_2/Si_3N_4$ (2 nm/ 3 nm/ 3 nm)를 화학적 증기 증착(chemical vapor deposition)방법으로 형성 시킨 이후, direct current magnetron sputtering 방법을 이용하여 2~5 nm 두께의 $WSi_2$ 및 $TiSi_2$ 박막을 증착하였으며, 나노입자 형성을 위하여 rapid thermal annealing(RTA) system을 이용하여 $800{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$에서 질소($N_2$) 분위기로 1~5분 동안 열처리를 하였다. 이후 radio frequency magnetron sputtering을 이용하여 $SiO_2$ control oxide layer를 30 nm로 증착한 후, RTA system을 이용하여 $900^{\circ}C$에서 30초 동안 $N_2$ 분위기에서 후 열처리를 하였다. 마지막으로 thermal evaporator system을 이용하여 Al 전극을 200 nm 증착한 이후 리소그래피와 식각 공정을 통하여 채널 폭/길이 $2{\sim}5{\mu}m$인 비휘발성 메모리 소자를 제작하였다. 제작된 비휘발성 메모리 소자는 HP 4156A semiconductor parameter analyzer와 Agilent 81101A pulse generator를 이용하여 전기적 특성을 확인 하였으며, 측정 온도를 $25^{\circ}C$, $85^{\circ}C$, $125^{\circ}C$로 변화시켜가며 제작된 비휘발성 메모리 소자의 열적 안정성에 관하여 연구하였다.

The LPCVD system of batch type for the massproduction of semiconductor fabrication has a problem of phosphorous concentration uniformity in the boat. In this paper we study an improvement of the uniformity for phosphorous concentration and sheet resistance. These property was improved by using the nitrogen process and modified long nozzle for gas injection tube in the doped polysilicon deposition system. The phosphorous concentration and its uniformity for polysilicon film are measured by XRF(X-ray Fluorescence) for the conventional process condition and nitrogen process. In conventional process condition, the phosphorous concentration, it uniformity and sheet resistance for polysilicon film are in the range of 3.8~5.4$\times$10\ulcorner atoms/㎤, 17.3% and 59~$\Omega$/ , respectively. For the case of nitrogen process the corresponding measurements exhibited between 4.3~5.3$\times$10\ulcorner atoms/㎤, 10.6% and 58~81$\Omega$/ . We find that in the nitrogen process the uniformity of phosphorous concentration improved compared with conventional process condition, however, the sheet resistance in the up zone of the boat increased about 12 $\Omega$/ . In modified long nozzle, the phosphorous concentration, its uniformity and sheet resistance for polysilicon films are in the range of 4.5~5.1$\times$10\ulcorner atoms/㎤, 5.3% and 60~65$\Omega$/ respectively. Annealing after $N_2$process gives the increment of grain size and the decrement of roughness. Modification of nozzle gives the increment of injection amount of PH$_3$. Both of these suggestion result in the stable phosphorous concentration and sheet resistance. The results obtained in this study are also applicable to process control of batch type system for memory device fabrication.

In this study, we fabricated a TFT gas sensor with ZnO nanorods grown by hydrothermal synthesis. The suggested devices were compared with the conventional ZnO film-type TFTs in terms of the gas-response properties and the electrical transfer characteristics. The ZnO seed layer is formed by atomic-layer deposition (ALD), and the precursors for the nanorods are zinc nitrate hexahydrate ($Zn(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$) and hexamethylenetetramine ($(CH_2)6N_4$). When 15 ppm of NO gas was supplied in a gas chamber at $150^{\circ}C$ to analyze the sensing capability of the suggested devices, the sensitivity (S) was 4.5, showing that the nanorod-type devices respond sensitively to the external environment. These results can be explained by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, which showed that the oxygen deficiency of ZnO nanorods is higher than that of ZnO film, and confirms that the ZnO nanorod-type TFTs are advantageous for the fabrication of high-performance gas sensors.

Molybdenum oxide ($MoO_3$) offers pivotal advantages for high optical transparency and low light reflection. Considering device fabrication, n-type $MoO_3$ semiconductor can spontaneously establish a junction with p-type Si. Since the energy bandgap of Si is 1.12 eV, a maximum photon wavelength of around 1,100 nm is required to initiate effective photoelectric reaction. However, the utilization of infrared photons is very limited for Si photonics. Hence, to enhance the Si photoelectric devices, we applied the wide energy bandgap $MoO_3$ (3.7 eV) top-layer onto Si. Using a large-scale production method, a wafer-scale $MoO_3$ device was fabricated with a highly crystalline structure. The $MoO_3/p-Si$ heterojunction device provides distinct photoresponses for long wavelength photons at 900 nm and 1,100 nm with extremely fast response times: rise time of 65.69 ms and fall time of 71.82 ms. We demonstrate the high-performing $MoO_3/p-Si$ infrared photodetector and provide a design scheme for the extension of Si for the utilization of long-wavelength light.

[ $CulnS_2$ ] thin films were synthesized by sulfurization of Cu/In Stacked elemental layer deposited onto glass Substrates by vacuum furnace annealing at temperature $200^{\circ}C$. And structural and electrical properties were measured in order to certify optimum conditions for growth of the ternary compound semiconductor $CuInS_2$ thin films with non-stoichiometry composition. $CuInS_2$ thin film was well made at the annealed $200^{\circ}C$ of SLG/Cu/In/S stacked elemental layer which was prepared by thermal evaporator, and chemical composition of the thin film was analyzed nearly as the proportion of 1 : 1 : 2. Physical properties of the thin film were investigated at various fabrication conditions substrate temperature, annealing and temperature, annealing time by XRD, FE-SEM and Hall measurement system. The compositional deviations from the ideal chemical formula for $200^{\circ}C$ material can be conveniently described by non-molecularity$({\Delta}x=[Cu/In]-1)$ and non-stoichiometry $({\Delta}y=[{2S/(Cu+3In)}-1])$. The variation of ${\Delta}x$ would lead to the formation of equal number of donor and accepters and the films would behave like a compensated material. The ${\Delta}y$ parameter is related to the electronic defects and would determine the type of the majority charge carriers. Films with ${\Delta}y>0$ would behave as p-type material while ${\Delta}y<0$ would show n-type conductivity. At the sane time, carrier concentration, hall mobility and resistivity of the thin films was $9.10568{\times}10^{17}cm^{-3},\;312.502cm^2/V{\cdot}s\;and\;2.36{\times}10^{-2}\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, respectively.
