An electron energy analyzer for Angle Resolved Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy (ARUPS) has been constructed and tested. This analyzer consists of tandem 3 element electron lenses and two concentric hemispherical capacitors. Electronic structure of clean Cu(100) surface has been studied to test the feature of the analyzer. The ultimate energy resolution is 40 me V and angle resolution is $0.2^{\circ}$.

Polymer memory devices have attracted considerable attention because of their advantages such as low cost potential, good scalability, flexibility, simplicity in structure, and large capacity for data storage. Metal/poly (4,4'-aminotriphenylene hexafluoroisopropylidenediphthalimide) (6F-TPA PI)/metal system has been found to show an electrical bi-stable behavior. Here, we show a novel set-up of 6F-TPA PI/Al sample in which holes are injected by photoelectron emission process instead of direct charge carrier injection via metal electrode. In this process, an irreversible electrical phase transition of 6F-TPA PI is found, leading to a write-once-read-many (WORM) behavior. The photoelectron spectroscopy results measured before and after the switching process revealed that the irreversible electrical phase transition of 6F-TPA PI is attributed to the chemical modification of the carbonyl group in phthalimide moiety.

Surface science is intrinsically related to the performance of solar cells. In solar cells the generation and collection of charge carriers determines their efficiency. Effective transport of charge carriers across interfaces and minimization of their recombination at surfaces and interfaces is of utmost importance. Thus, the chemistry at the surfaces and interfaces of these devices must be determined, and related to their performance. In this talk we will discuss the role of two important interfaces, First, the role of surface passivation is very important in limiting the rate of carrier of recombination. Here we will combine x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of the surface of a Si device with electrical measurements to ascertain what factors determine the quality of a solar cell passivation. In addition, the quality of the heterojunction interface in a ZnSe/CdTe solar cell affects the output voltage of this device. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy gives some insight into the composition of the interface, while ultraviolet photoemission yields the relative energy of the two materials' valence bands at the junction, which controls the open circuit voltage of the solar cell. The relative energies of ZnSe and CdTe at the interface is directly affected by the material quality of the interface through processing.

The stainless steel 304 oxidized at $70^{\circ}C$ in 2.5M CrO3/5.0M H2SO4 solution and at $200^{\circ}C$ , $300^{\circ}C$, and $400^{\circ}C$ in the air are analyzed with X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) to obtain depth composition profile of the surface region. It is confirmed that the surface region has a quite different composition from that of the bulk. This is due to a difference in the outward diffusion rates of the oxidized species in the surface region. The order of diffusion rates is Fe > Cr > Ni in the experimental temperature range. In spite of the inferior rate of diffusion, Cr is enriched in the surface when it is oxidized in the CrO3/H2SO4 solution. This is due to preferential dissolution of oxidized Fe.

Vacuum degassing is essential in the preparation of RS P/M aluminum alloys to remove adsorbates and for the decomposition of hydrated-$Al_{2}O_3$ on the powder surface. Changes in the surface characteristics during vacuum degassing were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and temperature-programmed desorption measurement. Hydrated-$Al_{2}O_3$ decomposition to crystalline-$Al_{2}O_3$ and hydrogen desorption on the surface of argon gas-atomized aluminum powder occurred at 623 K and 725 K, respectively. This temperature difference suggests that the reaction converting hydrated-$Al_{2}O_3$ to crystalline-$Al_{2}O_3$ during vacuum degassing should be divided into the two reactions $"2Al+Al_{2}O_3{\cdot}3H_2O\;2Al_{2}O_3+6H_{surf}"and"6H_{surf}3H_2"$.

In this study, molybdenum thin films were etched with the various Cl$_2$/(Cl$_2$+SF$_{6}$) gas mixing ratio in an magnetically enhanced reactive ion etching(MERIE) by the etching parameter such as rf power of 185 watts, chamber pressure of 40 mTorr and B-field of 80 gauss. The etch rate was 150 nm/min under Cl$_2$/(Cl$_2$+SF$_{6}$) gas mixing ratio of 0.25. At this time, the selectivity of Mo to SiO$_2$, photoresist were respectively 0.94, 0.50. The surface reaction of the etched Mo thin films was investigated with X - ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).PS).

반투명 전도성 음극 (semi-transparent conducting cathode)인 Ba (x nm)/Au (20 nm)/ITO (100 nm)을 이용하여 전면발광 유기전계 발광 소자 (top-emitting organic light-emitting didodes, TEOLEDs)를 제작했다. Ba과 bis(8-quinolinolato)aluminum (III) ($Alq_3$) 계면의 전자구조는 엑스선 광전자 분광법 (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, XPS), 자외선 광전자 분광법 (ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, UPS) 및 가까운 끝머리 엑스선 흡수 미세구조 (near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure, NEXAFS) 스펙트럼의 광 방출 특성을 통하여 조사되었다. $Alq_3$/Ba 계면 특성에 있어서 XPS와 NEXAFS 특성에 의하면, $Alq_3$ (10.0 nm) 위에 Ba이 연속적으로 증착됨에 따라 Ba으로부터 $Alq_3$로의 전자전달 (electron charge transfer) 특성은 꾸준희 증가된다. 그러나 Ba의 두께가 1.0 nm 이상 초과되면 Ba의 전자전달에 기인한 반응성때문에 $Alq_3$의 분자구조가 해리된다. 한편, 제작된 TEOLEDE의 전류-전압-휘도 곡선의 경우에서도 바륨의 증착 두께가 1.0 nm일 때 가장 우수한 구동특성을 나타냈다.
