본 연구에서는 halide vapor phase epitaxy 성장법을 이용하여 원뿔 형태의 패턴이 주기적으로 형성된 patterned sapphire substrate(PSS) 위에 ${\alpha}-Ga_2O_3$를 성장하고 그 특성에 변화에 대해 분석하였다. PSS의 패턴의 유무에 따른 영향을 알아보기 위해 c-plane 사파이어 기판과 원뿔의 크기가 다른 두 개의 PSS 위에 ${\alpha}-Ga_2O_3$를 성장하여 비교 분석하였다. 또한 PSS 위에 성장된 ${\alpha}-Ga_2O_3$의 성장과정을 알아보기 위해 점차 성장 시간을 증가해가며 관찰하였고 성장 온도를 $470-550^{\circ}C$까지 변화해가며 성장하였다. 이를 통해 원뿔 형태의 패턴이 형성된 PSS 위에서의 최적 성장 조건과 그 성장 mechanism에 대해 분석이 가능하였고 그 결과로 성장과정에서 발생하는 수평 성장에 의해 ${\alpha}-Ga_2O_3$의 비대칭면인 (10-14) 반치폭 값을 크게 감소시킬 수 있었다.

We present investigations of the surface micromachining for transparent glass substrate, e.g. soda lime glass using tightly focused 800nm Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser. In this study, experiment conditions such as laser intensity, scanning speed, focus position were controlled as variable parameters to decide optimal machining conditions. This study shows clearly that laser intensity and scanning speed are dominant factors for good surface morphology. Using the optimal conditions, grooves with 50${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ line width were fabricated on glass substrate and their surface morphologies were investigated from SEM image.

Various substrates were compared for the investigation of the optical properties of ZnO thin films. ZnO thin films have been deposited on (100) p-type silicon substrates and (001) sapphire substrates by pulsed laser deposition technique using a Nd:YAG laser with the wavelength of 355 nm. Oxygen and nitrogen gases were used as ambient gases. Substrate temperatures were varied in the range of 200$^{\circ}C$ to 600$^{\circ}C$ at a fixed ambient gas pressure of 350 mTorr. ZnO films have been deposited on various substrates, such as Si and sapphire wafers. We have investigated substrate effect on the optical and structural properties of ZnO thin films using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence (PL).

GaN is most commonly used to make LED elements. But, due to differences of the thermal expansion coefficient and lattice mismatch with sapphire, dislocations have occurred at about $109{\sim}1010/cm^2$. Generally, a low temperature GaN buffer layer is used between the GaN layer and the sapphire substrate in order to reduce the dislocation density and improve the characteristics of the thin film, and thus to increase the efficiency of the LED. Further, patterned sapphire substrate (PSS) are applied to improve the light extraction efficiency. In this experiment, using an AlN buffer layer on PSS in place of the GaN buffer layer that is used mainly to improve the properties of the GaN film, light extraction efficiency and overall properties of the thin film are improved at the same time. The AlN buffer layer was deposited by using a sputter and the AlN buffer layer thickness was determined to be 25 nm through XRD analysis after growing the GaN film at $1070^{\circ}C$ on the AlN buffer CPSS (C-plane Patterned Sapphire Substrate, AlN buffer 25 nm, 100 nm, 200 nm, 300 nm). The GaN film layer formed by applying a 2 step epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELOG) process, and by changing temperatures ($1020{\sim}1070^{\circ}C$) and pressures (85~300 Torr). To confirm the surface morphology, we used SEM, AFM, and optical microscopy. To analyze the properties (dislocation density and crystallinity) of a thin film, we used HR-XRD and Cathodoluminescence.

Epitaxial ($11{\bar{2}}0$) a-plane GaN films were grown on a ($1{\bar{1}}02$) R-plane sapphire substrate with photoresist (PR) masks using metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The PR mask with striped patterns was prepared using an ex-situ lithography process, whereas carbonization and heat treatment of the PR mask were carried out using an in-situ MOCVD. The heat treatment of the PR mask was continuously conducted in ambient $H_2/NH_3$ mixture gas at $1140^{\circ}C$ after carbonization by the pyrolysis in ambient $H_2$ at $1100^{\circ}C$. As the time of the heat treatment progressed, the striped patterns of the carbonized PR mask shrank. The heat treatment of the carbonized PR mask facilitated epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELO) of a-plane GaN films without carbon contamination on the R-plane sapphire substrate. Thhe surface morphology of a-plane GaN films was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The structural characteristics of a-plane GaN films on an R-plane sapphire substrate were evaluated by ${\omega}-2{\theta}$ high-resolution X-ray diffraction. The a-plane GaN films were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to determine carbon contamination from carbonized PR masks in the GaN film bulk. After $Ar^+$ ion etching, XPS spectra indicated that carbon contamination exists only in the surface region. Finally, the heat treatment of carbonized PR masks was used to grow high-quality a-plane GaN films without carbon contamination. This approach showed the promising potential of the ELO process by using a PR mask.

Sapphire crystals were grown by Horizontal Bridgman method. The effects of sliding rate (growth rate) of Molybdenum container, growth atmosphere, temperature gradient and orientation of see on crystal qualities were investigated. The size of the crystals grown was up to 150-200 mm in length, 90 mm in width and 25-35 mm in thickness. Crystals grown under the optimum conditions were colorless, transparent and could not be observed and macroscopic defects, such as bubbles, cracks, twins and mosaic structure. With the grown crystals, prototypes of sapphire substrate for blue wafers were characterized. As a result, we can get hight quality of sapphire wafers with c-axis, 1.5 inches in diameters and 0.33 mm in thickess.

The dielectric properties of $(Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$ ferroelectric thin films have been investigated according to the substrates in order to optimize the their properties. MgO, r-plane sapphire, and poly-crystalline sapphire (Alumina) substrates have been used to deposite $(Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$ ferroelectric thin films by RF magnetron sputtering. The BST thin films deposited on the single crystal (100)MgO substrates have high tunability and low dielectric loss. These results are caused by a low misfit between the lattice parameters of the BST films and the substrate. The BST films deposited on r-plane sapphire have relatively high misfit, and the tunability of 17% and dielectric loss of 0.0007. To improve the dielectric properties of the BST films, the post-annealing methods has been introduced. The BST films deposited on (100)MgO, (1102)r-plane sapphire, and poly-crystalline sapphire substrates have best properties in post-annealing conditions of $1050^{\circ}C$, $1100^{\circ}C$, and $1150^{\circ}C$, respectively. The different optimal post-annealing conditions have been found according to the different misfits between the films and substrates, and thermal expansion coefficients. Moreover, the films deposited on alumina substrate which is relatively cheap have a good tunability properties of 23% by the post-annealing.

$SrSnO_3:Tb^{3+}$ phosphor thin films were prepared on sapphire and quartz substrates in the growth temperature range of $100{\sim}400^{\circ}C$ by using the radio frequency magnetron sputtering deposition. The resulting $SrSnO_3:Tb^{3+}$ thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible-infrared spectrophotometer, and photoluminescence spectrometer. The results indicated that the morphology, optical transmittance, band gap energy, and luminescence intensity of the phosphor thin films significantly depended on the growth temperature. All the thin films, regardless of the type of substrate, showed an amorphous behavior. As for the thin films deposited on sapphire substrate, the maximum crystallite size was obtained at a growth temperature of $400^{\circ}C$ and the strongest emission was green at 544 nm arising from the $^5D_4{\rightarrow}^7F_5$ transition of Tb3+. The average optical transmittance for all the thin films grown on sapphire and quartz substrates was decreased as the growth temperature increased from 100 to $400^{\circ}C$. The results suggest that the optimum growth temperatures for depositing highly-luminescent $SrSnO_3:Tb^{3+}$ phosphor thin films on sapphire and quartz substrates are 400 and $300^{\circ}C$, respectively.
