In spite of the addtion of Zn, a high quality of Zn-doped GaN film were prepared. The growth rates of Zn-doped GaN films were varied from 0.14${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/min to 0.05${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/min according to the amount of Zn incorporated, The smallest value of the FWHM of x-ray rocking curve was 407 arcsec. The Zn-related Photoluminescence emission peaks which occurred at 2.927 and 2.824 eV shifted toward the low energy region by increasing Zn partial pressures. It was compared between the intensities of D-A pair (3.259eV) and that of the exciton bound to acceptor band(E$_{x-A}$=3.449eV).).

A hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) method was performed to prepare the thick-fi lm GaN on AIN/Si substrates. We obtained substrate-free GaN. The foul t-width at half maximum of double crystal X-ray rocking curve from 350 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ thick substrate-free GaN was ~1000 arcsec. The photoluminescence spectrum (at 20 K) shows the narrow bound exiton (I$_2$) line and wealth donor-acceptor pair recombination however. there was not observed deep donor-accepter pair recombination indicate the substrate-free GaN crystal prepared in this study are of high purity and high crystalline quality.

ZnO(Zinc Oxide) thin films were deposited on glass substrate by Facing Targets Sputtering. Facing Targets Sputtering system can deposit thin films in plasma-free situation and change the sputtering conditions in wide range. The characteristics of ZnO thin films deposited at variation of sputtering conditions films thickness, power and substrate temperature were evaluated by XRD(x-ray diffractometer), ${\alpha}$-step (Tencor). The excellently c-axis oriented ZnO thin films were obtained at sputter pressure ImTorr, power 150W, substrate temperature 200$^{\circ}C$. In these conditions, the rocking curve of ZnO thin films deposited on glass was 3.3$^{\circ}$.

The epitaxial $BaTiO_{3}$ thin film was prepared on the MgO substrate by the coating-pyrolysis process using a mixed solution of Ba-naphthenate and Ti-naphthenate. The crystal structure of the epitaxial $BaTiO_{3}$ thin film was characterized by XRD ${\theta}/2{\theta}$ scan and asymmetric {303} rocking curve scan. The epitaxial $BaTiO_{3}$ thin film had the cubic phase with the lattice parameter of a = c = 0.4018 nm.

The hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) grown GaN samples to precisely measure the surface characteristics was applied to a molten KOH/NaOH wet chemical etching. The etching rate by molten KOH/NaOH wet chemical etching method was slower than that by conventional etching methods, such as phosphoric and sulfuric acid etching, which may be due to the formation of insoluble coating layer. Therefore, the molten KOH/NaOH wet chemical etching is a better efficient method for the evaluation of etch pits density. The grown GaN single crystals were characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray rocking curve (XRC). The etching characteristics and surface morphologies were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). From etching results, the optimum etching condition that the etch pits were well independently separated in space and clearly showed their shape, was $410^{\circ}C$ and 25 min. The etch pits density obtained by molten KOH/NaOH wet chemical etching under optimum etching condition was around $2.45{\times}10^6cm^{-2}$, which is commercially an available materials.

We have grown large area BSTO($(Ba_{1-x}Sr_x)TiO_3$) thin films (x=0.4) on 2 inch diameter MgO (001) single crystal substrates using a pulse laser deposition(PLD) system. Substrate temperature and oxygen pressure in the deposition chamber, and the laser optics for ablating a target have been controlled to obtain the uniform thickness and preferred orientation of the films. Results of x-ray diffraction and rocking curve analysis revealed that the BSTO films were grown on MgO substrates with a preferred orientation (002), and the full width half maximum of the rocking curve was measured to be 0.86 degree at optimum condition. Roughness of the films have been measured to be $3.42{\AA}$ rms by using atomic force microscopy. We have successfully deposited the large area BSTO thin films of $4000{\AA}$ thickness on 50 mm diameter MgO substrates.

In this study, effects of the V/III ratio on a-plane GaN epitaxial on r-plane grown by HVPE have been investigated. According to increasing of V/III ratio, the value of FWHM of a-plane (11-20) GaN and the value of surface roughness (Ra) were decreased. Growth rate of a-plane GaN epitaxial layer were increased until V/III ratio = 7 as the increasing of V/III ratio, but it was reduced at V/III ratio = 10. At V/III ratio = 10, the FWHM of a-plane (11-20) GaN RC and the surface roughness (Ra) were 829 arcsec and 1.58 nm, respectively, as the lowest value in this study. Also for V/III ratio = 10, cracks under surface or voids were observed the lowest values in images of optical microscope. An M-shaped azimuthal dependence over $360^{\circ}$ angle range was observed for all samples. At V/III ratio = 10, the difference of FWHM of a-plane GaN between $0^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ was 439 arcsec revealed as the lowest value in the 4 samples.

The stochiometric composition of $AgGaS_2$polycrystal source materials for the single crystal thin films were prepared from horizontal furnace. From the extrapolation method of X-ray diffraction patterns, it was found that the polycrystal $AgGaS_2$has tetragonal structure of which lattice constant $a_0\;and \;c_0$ were 5.756 $\AA$ and 10.305 $\AA$, respectively. $AgGaS_2$single crystal thin film was deposited on throughly etched GaAs(100) substrate from mixed crystal $AgGaS_2$by the Hot Wall Epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperature were $590^{\circ}C$ and $440^{\circ}C$ respectively, and the growth rate of the single crystal thin films was about 0.5 $mu \textrm{m}$/h. The crystallinity of the grown single crystal thin films was investigated by the DCRC (double crystal X-ray diffraction rocking curve). The optical energy gaps were found to be 2.61 eV for $AgGaS_2$single crystal thin films at room temperature. The temperature dependence of the photocurrent peak energy is well explained by the Varshni equation, then the constants in the Varshni equation are given by${\Alpha};=;8.695{\times}10^{-4};eV/K,and;{\beta};=;332;K$. from the photocurrent spectra by illumination of polarized light of the $AgGaS_2$single crystal thin film, we have found that crystal field splitting $\Delta$Cr was 0.28 eV at 20 K. From the PL spectra at 20 K, the peaks corresponding to free and bound excitons and a broad emission band due to D-A pairs are identified. The binding energy of the free excitons are determined to be 0.2676 eV and 0.2430 eV and the dissociation energy of the bound excitons to be 0.4695 eV.
