ZnS nanoparticles were synthesized and doped with $Pr^{3+}\;and\;Mn^{2+}$. Photoluminescence(PL) peaks were observed at 430 nm for pure ZnS, 585 nm for $Mn^{2+}-doped$ ZnS, and at around 430, 460, 480, 495 nm for ZnS nanoparticles doped with $Pr^{3+}$, respectively. For co-doped sample, both characteristics of doping with each element were exhibited. Optical annealing through UV irradiation was carried out in the two atmospheres; air and vacuum. The increases of the luminescence intensity was more considerable in the air, which is attributed to the photo-induced oxidation. In the case of co-doped sample the change of the emission color was observed by UV annealing.

The piezoelectric properties and the doping effect for$0.95Pb(Zr_xTi_{1-x})O_3+0.05Pb(Mn1/3Nb2/3)O_3$ compositions were studied. Also, the heat generation and the change of electromechanical characteristics, the important problem in practical usage, were investigated under high electric field driving. As a experiment results under low electric field, the values of kp and $\varepsilon33T$ were maximized, but Qm was minimized(Kp=0.57, Qm=1550) in the composition of x=0.51. In order to increase the values of Qm $Nb_2O_5$ was used as a dopant. As the result of that, the grain size was suppressed and the uniformity of grain was improved. Also, the values of kp decreased, and the values of Qm increased with doping concentration of $Nb_2O_5$. As a experiment results under high electric field driving, when vibration velocity was lower than 0.6[m/s], the temperature increase was $20[^{\circ}C]$, and the change ratio of mechanical quality factor was less than 10[%]. So, its electromechanical characteristics was very stable. Conclusively, piezoelectric ceramic composition investigated at this paper is suitable for application to high power piezoelectric devices.

This paper describes the thermal and mechanical properties of doped thin film 3C-SiC and porous 3C-SiC. In this work, the in-situ doped thin film 3C-SiC was deposited by using atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) method at $120^{\circ}C$ using single-precursor hexamethyildisilane: $Si_2(CH_3)_6$ (HMDS) as Si and C precursors. 0~40 sccm $N_2$ gas was used as doping source. After growing of doped thin film 3C-SiC, porous structure was achieved by anodization process with 380 nm UV-LED. Anodization time and current density were fixed at 60 sec and 7.1 mA/$cm^2$, respectively. The thermal and mechanical properties of the $N_2$ doped porous 3C-SiC was measured by temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) and nano-indentation, respectively. In the case of 0 sccm, the variations of TCR of thin film and porous 3C-SiC are similar, but TCR conversely changed with increase of $N_2$ flow rate. Maximum young's modulus and hardness of porous 3C-SiC films were measured to be 276 GPa and 32 Gpa at 0 sccm $N_2$, respectively.

In this paper, we have studied the characteristics of NAND Flash memory in SONOS Poly-Si Thin Film Transistor (Poly-Si TFT) device. Source/drain junctions(S/D) of cells were not implanted and selective transistors were located in the end of cells. We found the optimum conditions of process by means of the estimation for the doping concentration of channel and source/drain of selective transistor. As the doping concentration was increased, the channel current was increased and the characteristic of erase was improved. It was believed that the improvement of erase characteristic was probably due to the higher channel potential induced by GIDL current at the abrupt junction. In the condition of process optimum, program windows of threshold voltages were about 2.5V after writing and erasing. In addition, it was obtained that the swing value of poly Si TFT and the reliability by bake were enhanced by increasing process temperature of tunnel oxide.

Light-triggered thyristors (LTTs) are essential components in high-power applications, such as HVDC transmission and several pulsed-power applications. Generally, LTT fabrication includes a deep diffusion of aluminum as a p-type dopant to form a uniform p-base region, which needs careful concern for contamination and additional facilities in silicon semiconductor manufacturing factories. We fabricated 4-inch 5,000 V LTTs with boron implantation and diffusion process as a p-type dopant. The LTT contains a main cathode region, edge termination designed with a variation of lateral doping, breakover diode, integrated resistor, photosensitive area, and dV/dt protection region. The doping concentration of each region was adjusted with different doses of boron ion implantation. The fabricated LTTs showed good light triggering characteristics for a light pulse of 905 nm and a blocking voltage (V_DRM) of 6,500 V. They drove an average on-state current (I_TAVM) of 2,270 A, peak nonrepetitive surge current (I_TSM) of 61 kA, critical rate of rise of on-state current (di/dt) of 1,010 A/㎲, and limiting load integral (I²T) of 17 MA²s without damage to the device.

Solution processed Resistive random access memory (ReRAM)은 간단한 공정 과정, 고집적도, 저렴한 가격, 대면적화 플라즈마 데미지 최소화 등의 장점으로 차세대 비휘발성 메모리로 써 많은 관심을 받고 있으며, 주로 high-k 물질인 HfOx, TiOx, ZnO 가 이용 된다. IGZO와 ZTO와 같은 산화물 반도체는 높은 이동도, 대면적화, 넓은 밴드갭으로 인하여 투명한 장점으로 LCDs (Liquid crystal displays)에 이용 가능하며, 최근에는 IGZO와 ZTO에서 Resistive Switching (RS) 특성을 확인한 논문이 보고되면서 IGZO와 ZTO를 ReRAM의 switching medium와 TFT의 active material로써 동시에 활용하는 것에 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 이와 같은 산화물 반도체는 flat panel display 회로에 TFT와 ReRAM의 active layer로써 집적가능 하며 systems-on-panels (SOP)에 적용 가능하다. 하지만 IGZO 보다는 ZTO가 In과 Ga을 포함하지 않기 때문에 저렴하다. 그러므로 IGZO를 대신하는 물질로 ZTO가 각광 받고 있다. 본 실험에서는 ZTO film에 Al을 doping하여 메모리 특성을 평가하였다. 실험 방법으로는 p-type Si에 습식산화를 통하여 SiO2를 300 nm 성장시킨 기판을 사용하였다. 그리고 Electron beam evaporator를 이용하여 Ti를 10 nm, Pt를 100 nm 증착 한다. 용액은 Zn와 Tin의 비율을 1:1로 고정한 후 Al의 비율을 0, 0.1, 0.2의 비율로 용액을 각각 제작하였다. 이 용액을 이용하여 Pt 위에 spin coating방법을 이용하여 1000 rpm 10초, 6000 rpm 30초의 조건으로 AZTO (Al-ZnO-Tin-Oxide) 박막을 증착한 뒤, solvent 및 불순물 제거를 위하여 $250^{\circ}C$의 온도로 30분 동안 열처리를 진행하였다. 이후 Electron beam evaporator를 이용하여 top electrode인 Ti를 100 nm 증착하였다. 제작된 메모리의 전기적 특성은 HP 4156B semiconductor parameter analyzer를 이용하여 측정하였다. 측정 결과, AZTO (0:1:1, 0.1:1:1, 0.2:1:1)를 이용하여 제작한 ReRAM에서 RS특성을 얻었으며 104 s이상의 신뢰성 있는 data retention특성을 확인하였다. 그리고 Al의 비율이 증가할수록 on/off ratio가 증가하고 endurance 특성이 향상되는 것을 확인하였다. 결론적으로 Al을 doping함으로써 ZTO film의 메모리 특성을 향상 시켰으며 AZTO film을 메모리와 트랜지스터의 active layer로써 활용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

Densification and grain growth behavior of MgO and -doped alumina ceramics were investigated. MgO was found to inhibit grain growth and to promote densification, but acted to promote grain growth more than densification. The density which showed the maximum shrinkage rate was investigated in the plot of shrinkage rate versus density. The data suggests that the maximum shrinkage rate separates the two kinetic regimes, below the density of maximum shrinkage, the regime associated with densification and above the maxima, the regime associated with the grain growth. The plot exhibits a maximum which shifts to higher temperatures with MgO doping and to lower with doping.

Display 산업의 확대로 인해 광학적 특성 및 전기적 특성이 우수한 TCO (Transparent conductive oxide) 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 기존에는 ITO가 대부분의 분야에서 이용되었지만 In의 경제적인 단점으로 인해 새로운 대체물로써 ZnO가 떠오르고 있다. ZnO는 전형적인 n-type 반도체이며, wide band gap 물질로써 Al, Ga, B과 같은 3 족 원소를 doping 함으로써 광학적 및 전기적 특성을 향상시킬 수 있다. 최근에는 ZnO의 이온반경과 비슷한 Ga을 도핑한 Ga-doped ZnO 박막에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이는 ZnO에 Ga을 도핑함으로써 격자결함을 최소화 시키고 carrier concentration 및 hall mobility를 향상시켜 전기전도도의 향상을 이루기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 $Ga_2O_3$이 3wt% doping 된 ZnO rotating cylindrical target 을 DC magnetron sputtering 을 이용하여 2 kW의 파워와 70 kHz의 주파수를 고정하고, 증착 온도를 변화시켜 유리 기판 위에 Ga-doped ZnO 박막을 증착 하였다. 증착 시 온도가 Ga-doped ZnO 박막에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위해 박막 표면의 조성을 분석하였고, 결정성 및 전기적 특성의 변화를 통해 박막의 특성을 비교 평가하였다. Ga-doped ZnO 박막의 표면과 두께는 SEM (Scanning electron microscope) 분석을 통해 관찰하였고, XRD (X-ray diffractometer) 를 이용하여 결정학적 특성을 확인하였다. 또한 Van der Pauw 방법을 이용한 hall 측정을 통해 resistivity, carrier concentration, hall mobility를 분석하였고, UV-Vis를 이용하여 박막의 투과율을 분석하였으며, 이를 토대로 투명 전도막으로써 Ga-doped ZnO 박막의 응용 가능성을 평가하였다.

A high power MOSFET switch based on a 0.35 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process has been developed for the protection IC of a rechargeable battery. In this process, a vertical double diffused MOS (VDMOS) using 3 ${\mu}m$-thick epi-taxy layer is integrated with a Zener diode. The p-n+Zener diode is fabricated on top of the VDMOS and used to protect the VDMOS from high voltage switching and electrostatic discharge voltage. A fully integrated digital circuit with power devices has also been developed for a rechargeable battery. The experiment indicates that both breakdown voltage and leakage current depend on the doping concentration of the Zener diode. The dependency of the breakdown voltage on doping concentration is in a trade-off relationship with that of the leakage current. The breakdown voltage is obtained to exceed 14 V and the leakage current is controlled under 0.5 ${\mu}A$. The proposed integrated module with the application of the power MOSFET indicates the high performance of the protection IC, where the overcharge delay time and detection voltage are controlled within 1.1 s and 4.2 V, respectively.
