Many studies have used chemical vapor deposition (CVD) to grow graphene. However, CVD is inefficient in terms of production costs, and inefficient for mass production because a transfer process using a catalytic metal is needed. In this study, graphene thin films were grown on single crystal sapphire substrates without a catalytic metal, using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) to resolve these problems. In addition, the growth of graphene using PLD was confirmed to have a close relationship with the substrate temperature.

ZnO thin films were deposited on (001) sapphire substrate at various ambient gas pressure by pulsed laser deposition(PLD). Oxygen was used as ambient gas, and oxygen gas pressure was varied from 1.0${\times}$10$\^$-6/ Torr to 500 mTorr during the film deposition. As oxygen gas pressure increase in the region below critical pressure photoluminescence(PL) intensity in UV and green region increase. As oxygen gas pressure increase in the region above critical pressure photoluminescence(PL) intensity in UV and green region decrease. Each of critical ambient gas Pressures was 350 mTorr for UV emission and 200 mTorr for green emission.

In this work, epitaxial GaN is grown on sapphire substrate in AlGaN/GaN heterostructures. Deliberate oxygen doping of GaN grown by MOVPE has been studied. The electron concentration increased as a function of the square root of the oxygen partial Pressure. Oxygen is a shallow donor with a thermal ionization energy of $27\pm2 meV$ measured by temperature dependent Hall effects. A compensation ratio of $\theta$=0.3~0.4 was determined from Hall effect measurements. The formation energy of $O_N$ of $E^F$ =1.3eV determined from the experimental data, is lower than the theoretically predicted vague.

Transparent and hard materials such as sapphire are used for many industrial applications as optical windows, hard materials on mechanical contact against abrasion, and substrate materials for opto-electronic semiconductor devices such as blue LED and blue LD etc. The materials should be cut along the proper shapes possible to be used for each application. In case of blue LED, the blue LED wafer should be cut to thousands of blue LED pieces at the final stage of the manufacturing process. The process of cutting the wafer is usually divided into two steps. The wafer is scribed along the proper shapes in the first step. It is inserted between transparent flexible sheets for easy handling. And then, it is broken and split in the next step. Harder materials such as diamonds are usually used to scribe the wafer, while it has a problem of low depth of scribing and abrasion of the harder material itself. The low depth of scribing can induce failure in breaking the wafer along the scribed line. It was also known that the expensive diamond tip should be replaced frequently for the abrasion. (omitted)

I-D ZnO nanostructures were fabricated by thermal evaporation method on Si(100), GaN and $Al_2O_3$ substrates without a catalyst at the reaction temperature of $700^{\circ}C$. Only pure Zn powder was used as a source material and Ar was used as a carrier gas. The shape and growth direction of synthesized ZnO nanostructures is determined by the crystal structure and the lattice mismatch between ZnO and substrates. The ZnO nanostructure on Si substrate were inclined regardless of their substrate orientation. The origin of ZnO/Si interface is highly lattice-mismatched and the surface of the Si substrate inevitably has the $SiO_2$ layer. The ZnO nanostructure on the $Al_2O_3$ substrate was synthesized into the rod shape and grown into particular direction. For the GaN substrate, however, ZnO nanostructure with the honeycomb-like shape was vertically grown, owing to the similar lattice parameter with GaN substrate.

Chemical Mechanical Polishing of chemically stable sapphire substrates is dominantly affected by the mechanical processing of abrasives, in terms of the material removal rate. In this study, we investigated the effect of electrostatic force between the abrasives and substrate, on the polishing. If potassium chloride (KCl) is added to slurry, water molecules are decomposed into $H^+$ and $OH^-$ ions, and the amount of ions in the slurry changes. The zeta potential of the abrasives decreases with an increase in the amount of $H^+$ ions in the stern layer; consequently, the electrostatic force between the abrasives and substrate decreases. The change in zeta potential of abrasives in the slurry is affected by the slurry pH. In acidic zones, the amount of ions bound to the abrasives increases if the amount of $H^+$ ions is increased by adding KCl. However, in basic zones, there is no change in the corresponding amount. In acidic zones, zeta potential decreases as molar concentration of potassium increases; however, it does not change significantly in basic zones. The removal rate tends to decrease with increase in molar amount of potassium in acidic zones, where zeta potential changes significantly. However, in basic zones, the removal rate does not change with zeta potential. The tendencies of zeta potential and that of the frictional force generated during polishing show strong correlation. Through experiments, it is confirmed that the contact probability of abrasives changes according to the electrostatic force generated between the abrasives and substrate, and variation in removal rate.

The superior properties of ZnO such as high exciton binding energy, high thermal and chemical stability, low growth temperature and possibility of wet etching process in ZnO have great interest for applications ranging from optoelectronics to chemical sensor. Particularly, vertically well-aligned ZnO nanorods on large areas with good optical and structural properties are of special interest for the fabrication of electronic and optical nanodevices. Currently, low-dimensional ZnO is synthesized by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), thermal evaporation, and sol.gel growth. Recently, our group has been reported about achievement the growth of Ga-doped ZnO nanorods using ZnO seed layer on p-type Si substrate by RF magnetron sputtering system at high rf power and high growth temperature. However, the crystallinity of nanorods deteriorates due to lattice mismatch between nanorods and Si substrate. Also, in the growth of oxide using sputtering, the oxygen flow ratio relative to argon gas flow is an important growth parameter and significantly affects the structural properties. In this study, Phosphorus (P) doped ZnO nanorods were grown on c-sapphire substrates without seed layer by radio frequency magnetron sputtering with various argon/oxygen gas ratios. The layer change films into nanorods with decreasing oxygen partial pressure. The diameter and length of vertically well-aligned on the c-sapphire substrate are in the range of 51-103 nm and about 725 nm, respectively. The photoluminescence spectra of the nanorods are dominated by intense near band-edge emission with weak deep-level emission.

Recently, the use of an aluminum nitride(AlN) buffer layer has been actively studied for fabricating a high quality gallium nitride(GaN) template for high efficiency Light Emitting Diode(LED) production. We confirmed that AlN deposition after $N_2$ plasma treatment of the substrate has a positive influence on GaN epitaxial growth. In this study, $N_2$ plasma treatment was performed on a commercial patterned sapphire substrate by RF magnetron sputtering equipment. GaN was grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD). The surface treated with $N_2$ plasma was analyzed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) to determine the binding energy. The XPS results indicated the surface was changed from $Al_2O_3$ to AlN and AlON, and we confirmed that the thickness of the pretreated layer was about 1 nm using high resolution transmission electron microscopy(HR-TEM). The AlN buffer layer deposited on the grown pretreated layer had lower crystallinity than the as-treated PSS. Therefore, the surface $N_2$ plasma treatment on PSS resulted in a reduction in the crystallinity of the AlN buffer layer, which can improve the epitaxial growth quality of the GaN template.

MOCVD를 이용하여 $SiO_2$로 패턴된 GaN/sapphire 기판상에서 $NH_3$유량과 성장온도가 GaN 성장의 선택성과 성장 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. $NH_3$유량을 500~1300sccm, 성장온도를 $950~1060^{\circ}C$로 변화시켜 성장변수에 따른 영향을 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하였다.$NH_3$유량이 증가할수록 성장선택성이 향상되었으나 기판윈도우에서 성장되는 GaN 형상변화에는 큰 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 성장온도가 높을수록 GaN의 성장선택성이 향상됨이 관찰되었다. 패턴 모양을 원형, 선형, 방사선모양(선형 패턴을 30, $45^{\circ}$로 회전)으로 제작하여 GaN 성장을 수행한 후 관찰한 결과 {1101}으로 이루어진 Hexagonal 피라밋 형상과 마스크층 위로의 측면성장을 얻을 수 있었으며, 성장조건에 따른 <1100>와 <1210>의 방향으로의 측면성장속도의 차이를 관찰할 수 있었다.
