The influence of Zn, Si and Te diffusion on the interdiffusion in $GaAs-Ga_1_-xIN_xAs_1__yP_y$and InP$Ga_1__xIn_xAs_1__yP_y$ heterostructures was studied. The heterostructures were grown by liquid phase epitaxy, and the impurity diffusion into the heterostructures was carried out using metal compound or element sources. The extent of interdiffusion for both group III and V atoms was observed by depth profiling of matrix elements with secondary ion mass spectrometry and Auger electron spectroscopy. Selective enhancement of cation interdiffusion was observed by the concurrent Zn diffusion in both the GaAs based-and InP based-crystals. In contrast to the Zn diffusion, the Si diffusion in the GaAs based-crystal and the Te diffusion in the InP based-crystal enhanced both cation and anion interdiffusion to the same extent. A kick-out mechanism is proposed to explain the selective enhancement of the cation interdiffusion due to Zn, and a single vacancy mechanism is proposed for the interdiffusion due to Si and Te.

이번 연구는 $BCl_3/CF_4$ 플라즈마를 사용하여 반도체소자 제조 시 널리 이용되는 GaAs 계열반도체 중 대표적인 재료인 GaAs/AlGaAs 및 GaAs/InGaP 구조를 선택적으로 건식 식각한 후 분석한 것이다. 공정변수로는 ICP 소스파워를 0-500W, RIE 파워를 0-50W 그리고 $BCl_3/CF_4$ 가스 혼합비를 중점적으로 변화시켰다. $BCl_3$ 플라즈마만을 사용한 경우 (20$BCl_3$, 20W RIE power, 300W ICP source power, 7.5mTorr) 는 GaAs:AlGaAs의 선택비가 0.5:1 이었으며 이때 GaAs의 식각률은 ~2200${\AA}/min$ 이었으며 AlGaAs의 식각률은 ~4500${\AA}/min$ 이었다. 식각 후 표면의 RMS roughness은 < 2nm로 깨끗한 결과를 보여주었다. 15% $CF_4$ 가스가 혼합된 $17BCl_3/3CF_4$, 20W RIE power, 300W ICP source power, 7.5mTorr의 조건에서 3분 동안 공정한 결과 순수한 $BCl_3$ 플라즈마만을 사용한 경우보다 표면은 다소 거칠었지만 (RMS roughness: ~8.4) GaAs의 식각률 (~980nm/min)과 AlGaAs와 InGaP에 대한 GaAs의 선택도 (GaAs:AlGaAs=16:1, GaAs:InGaP=38:1)는 크게 증가하였다. 그리고 AlGaAs 및 InGaP의 경우 식각 시 나타난 휘발성이 낮은 식각 부산물 ($AlF_3:1300^{\circ}C$, $InF_3:1200^{\circ}C$)로 인하여 50nm/min 이하의 낮은 식각률을 보였고, 62.5%의 $CF_4$가 혼합된 $7.5BCl_3/12.5CF_4$플라즈마의 조건에서는 AlGaAs 및 InGaP에 대한 GaAs의 선택도가 각각 280:1, 250:1을 나타내었다.

The heteroepitaxial growth of InP and GaInAs on GaAs substrates has been studied by using a new combination of source materials: ethyldimethylindium (EDMIn) and trimethylgallium (TMGa) as group III sources, and tertiarybutylarsine (TBAs) and tertiarybutylphosphine (TBP) as group V sources. Device quality InP heteroepitaxial layers were obtained by using a two-step growth process under atmospheric pressure, involving a growth of an initial nucleation layer at low temperature followed by high temperature annealing and the deposition of epitaxial layer at a growth temperature. The continuity and thickness of nucleation layer were important parameters. The InP layers deposited at 500$^{\circ}$- 55$0^{\circ}C$ are all n-type, and the electron concentration decreases with decreasing TBP/EDMIn molar ratio. The excellent optical quality was revealed by the 4.4 K photoluminescence (PL) measurement with the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 4.94 meV. Epitaxial Ga\ulcorner\ulcorner\ulcornerIn\ulcorner\ulcorner\ulcornerAs layers have been deposited on GaAs substrates at 500$^{\circ}$ - 55$0^{\circ}C$ by using InP buffer layers. The composition of GaInAs was determined by optical absorption measurements.

GaP는 가시광선 발광다이오드을 얻을 수 있는 적절한 재료중의 하나로 해당영역의 파장에 대하여 높은 양자효율을 얻을 수 있고, 깊은 준위 재결합이 없기 때문에 GaP 녹색 및 As 첨가한 GaAsP 적색 LED 에 적용할 수 있습니다. 또한, 상온에서 2.2 eV 에 해당하는 넓은 에너지 밴드갭을 가지고 있으므로, 소음이 없는 자외선 검출기에도 적합합니다. 이 물질에 대한 소자들은 기존에 GaP 기판을 사용하였습니다. 최근, GaP 와 격자상수가 비슷한 Si 기판을 활용하여 그 위에 성장하는 방법에 대한 관심이 많아졌습니다. Si는 물리적 및 화학적으로 안정하고 딱딱한 소재이며 대면적 기판을 쉽게 얻을 수 있어 전자 기기 및 대규모 집적 회로의 좋은 소재입니다. Si 와 대조적으로 GaP은 깨지기 쉬운 재료이며 GaP 기판은 Si와 같은 대면적 기판을 얻을 수 없습니다. 이러한 문제의 한 가지 해결책은 Si 기판위에 GaP 층의 성장입니다. GaP 과 Si의 조합은 현재의 광전소자 들에 더하여 더 많은 응용프로그램들을 가능하게 할 것입니다. 그러나, Si 기판위에 GaP 성장 시 삼차원적 성장 및 역위상 경계면과 같은 문제점들이 발생하므로 질이 높고 균일한 결정의 GaP 를 얻기가 어렵습니다. 따라서, Si 에 GaP 의 성장시 초기 단계를 제어하는 성장 기술이 필요합니다. 본 연구에서는, 유기금속화학증착법을 이용하여 Si 기판위에 양질의 GaP를 얻을 수 있는 최적의 성장조건을 얻고자 합니다. 실험 조건은 Si에 GaP의 에피택셜 성장의 초기 단계에 영향을 주는 V/III 비율, 성장압력, 기판방향 등을 가변하는 조건으로 진행하였습니다. V/III 비율은 100~6400, 성장 압력은 76~380 Torr로 진행하였고, Si 기판은 just(001)과 2~6도 기울어진 (001) 기판을 사용하였습니다.

Reliability between passivated and unpassivated process with the base-exposed InGaP/GaAs HBTs was studied. A passivation of HBT was attempted by $SiO_2$ thin film deposition at $300^{\circ}C$ by means of PECVD. Base-exposed InGaP/GaAs HBTs before and after passivation were investigated and compared in terms of DC and RF performance. Over a total period of 30 days, passivated HBTs show only 2% degradation of DC current gain for the high current density of $40KA/cm^2$. The measured thermal resistance of $2{\times}30{\mu}m^2$ single emitter InGaP/GaAs HBT passivated with PECVD $SiO_2$ devices can be extracted and was founded to be 1430 K/W. The estimated MTTF was $2{\times}10^7hr\;at\;T_j=125^{\circ}C$ with an activation energy $(E_a)$ of 1.37 eV.

We studied the electronic and magnetic properties for the Mn-doped chalcopyrite (CH) AlAs, GaAs, and AlGaAs₂ semiconductor by using the first-principles calculations. The chalcopyrite AlGaP₂, AlGaAsP, and AlGaAs₂ compounds have a semiconductor characters with a small band-gap. The interaction between Mn-3d and As-4p states at the Fermi level dominate rather than the other states. The ferromagnetic ordering of dopant Mn with high magnetic moment is induced due to the Mn(3d)-As(4p) strong coupling, which is attributed by the partially filled As-4p bands. The holes are mediated with keeping their 3d-electrons, therefore the ferromagnetic state is stabilized by this double-exchange mechanism. We noted that the ferromagnetic state with high magnetic moment is originated from the hybridized As(4p)-Mn(3d)-As(4p) interaction mediated by the holes-carrier.

In this study, we analyzed the electrical and optical properties of metalorganic chemical vapor deposition grown InGaAs/InGaAsP/InP quantum dot(QD) molecules by using photoluminescence and deep-level transient spectroscopy. From these resulte, the energy levels of the large QDs are located at deeper region from the conduction band edge of the barrier than that of the small QDs, The large QDs seem to have the energy states more than two, and these energy levels of the QD molecules are located at 0.35, 0.42, and 0.45 eV from conduction band edge under -4 V reverse bias conditions. The energy levels are closely coupled under low reverse bias, and then decoupled as the bias voltage is increased.

We investigated the effect of TMIn (trimethly-indium) source depletion on InGaAs, InGaAsP and 1.55 $\mu\textrm{m}$ InGaAs/InGaAsP SMQW by using EPISON ultrasonic monitor for measuring the concentration of metalorganic/carrier gas mixtures. And the problems for the growth reproducibility in MOCVD was solved by using an EPISON ultrasonic monitor with closed-loop mode under the condition of TMIn source depletion. The saturation pressure of TMIn was dramatically decreased over consumption of 80%. In the case of bulk epilayer, Up-shifting of 300 arcsec to Ga-rich direction and FWHM broadening by a factor of two in DCXRD spectrum were observed due to the TMIn source depletion. In the case of SMQW, Up-shifting of 300 arcsec to Ga-rich direction in DCXRD spectrum and blue-shift of 40 nm in PL spectrum were observed due to the TMIn source depletion. However, good reproducibility ($\Delta\theta$<$\pm$100 arcsec) was achieved even the condition of 95% of TMIn consumption, when we used the EPISON with closed-loop mode.

A simple transfer matrix algorithm to analyze the properties of 2 dimensional waveguides is introduced. We applied this algorithm to strained InGaAs/InGaAsP GINSCH MQW laser structures. We studied how optical confinement factor and effective refractive index, which are important in calculating the modal gain, depend on the structure parameters such as waveguide width, shape of GRIN, and number of quantum wells. Especially we suggested that the concept of effective waveguide width is very useful in understanding the GRINSCH waveguide.
