We investigated the effect of mechanical backside damage upon minority carrier recombination lifetime measurement in Czochralski silicon substrate by laser excitation/microwave reflection photoconductance decay method. The intensity of mechanical damage was evaluated by X-ray double crystal rocking curve, X-ray section topography and wet oxidation/preferential etch methods. The data indicate that the higher the mechanical damage intensity, the lower the minority carrier lifetime, and the threshold full width at half maximum value which affect minority carrier lifetime measurement is about 13 secs.

An Si substrate (100) was oxidized at $400^{\circ}C$ in inductively coupled oxygen plasma. Interstitial oxygen was found in the Si substrate at the initial stage of oxidation by IR measurements. An x-ray rocking curve of Si substrates showed a lower peak intensity due to lattice distortion by the interstitial oxygen. The refractive index of thin oxides, below which interstitial oxygen existed in the Si substrate, was smaller than the refractive index of thick oxides, below which no interstitial oxygen existed. The interstitial oxygen was found by plasma oxidation using $O_{2}$ gas and $N_{2}O$ gas. The inductively coupled plasma oxidation using $N_{2}O$ gas was performed by atomic oxygen, not by molecular oxygen, indicating that atomic oxygen in plasma is responsible for the incorporation of interstitial oxygen.

Using DC faced target sputtering method we grow AIN the films on the $Al_2O_3$(0001) substrate with varying thickness(17$\AA$-1000$\AA$). We measured x-ray diffraction(XRD) profiles by synchrotron radiation($\lambda$=1.12839 $\AA$) with four circle diffractometer. The full width half maximum(FWHM) of rocking curve for the AIN (0002) diffraction of the film grown at $500^{\circ}C$ was $0.029^{\circ}$. Also, we confirmed that the stress between AIN thin film and $Al_2O_3$(0001) substrate was reduced as increasing AIN film thickness, and the critical thickness of 400~500 $\AA$, defined as a lattice constant in the film agrees with that in a bulk without stress, was obtained.

A numerical study of soil-foundation system under monotonic and cyclic pushover loading is conducted, taking into account both material and geometric nonlinearities. A complete and refined 3D finite element (FE) model, using contact condition and allowing separation between soil and foundation, is implemented and used in order to evaluate the nonlinear relationship between applied vertical forces and induced settlements. Based on the obtained curve, a simplified model is proposed, in which the soil inelasticity is satisfactorily represented by two vertical springs with trilinear behavior law, and the foundation uplifting is insured by gap elements. Results from modeling soil-foundation system supporting a bridge pier have shown that the simplified model is able to capture irreversible settlements induced by cyclic rocking, due to soil inelasticity and vertical loading, as well as large rotations due to foundation uplifting.

The characteristics of GaN epitaxial layers grown on silicon (111) substrates by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy have been investigated. The only control of AIN thickness was found to decrease the stress sufficiently for avoiding crack formation in an overgrown thick ($2.6{\mu}m$) CaN layer. X-ray diffraction measurementsare used to determine the effect of AIN thickness on the strain in the subsequent GaN layers. The 437arcsec linewidth on the (002) x-ray rocking curve also attest the high crystalline quality of GaN on Si (111).

A hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) method was performed to prepare the GaN thick-films on c-plane sapphire substrates. The full-width at half maximum of double crystal X-ray rocking curve from 350${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ thick GaN was 576 arcsecond. The photo- luminescence spectrum measured (at room temperature) show the narrow bound exciton(I$_2$) line and weak donor-acceptor pair recombination peak, however, there was not observed deep donor-acceptor pare recombination indicate the GaN crystals prepared in this study are of high purity and high crystalline quality.

In this study, to minimize the above effect Zinc Oxide(ZnO) thin films on Si(100) substrate were deposited by RF magnetron sputter with changing sputtering conditions such as Ar/$O_2$ gas ratios, RF power, substrate temperature, chamber prsssure and target-substrate distance. To analyze a crystallographic properties of the films, ${\Theta}/2{\Theta}$ mode X-ray diffraction, rocking curve and Alpha-step were performed. SAW filters were fabricated to evaluate the feasibility of ZnO thin film as a piezoelectrical materials and the processes of ZnO SAW filters using etch and lift-off were compared.

The high quality and a nearly stoichometric growth of $Cd_{1-y} Zn_y$/Te(y＝0.04) epilayers have been successfully grown on GaAs substrate by hot wall epitaxy (HWE) by optimizing the growth condition including the preheating treatment and Cd reservoir temperature. The relationship between quality and thickness was examined and best value of FWHM from X-ray rocking curve of 121 arcsec are obtained. Also, emission peaks related to the recombination of free excitons such as the ground state and the first excited state were observed in the PL spectrum at 4.2K. The ($A^0$, X) emission related to Cd vacancy and deep level emission was not measured. These results indicated that the grown CZT/GaAs epilayer was high qualify and purity.

The rare-earth ions (R3+, R=Nd, Er) doped CaF2 layers have been grown on CaF2(111) substrate by molecular beam epitaxy. The epitaxial relationship and the crystallinity of CaF2:R3+ layers depending on the concentration of R3+ were studied by reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED). In aspect of application as buffer layer in semiconductor-related hybrid structure, the lattice displacement between CaF2:R3+ layers and CaF2(111) substrate was investigated by X-ray rocking curve analysis.
