In order to Prepare the$Ge_xSi_{1-x}/Si$(111) heterosructure by solid phase epitaxy (SPE), about 1000A of Au and about 1000A Ge were sequentially deposited on the Si(111) substrate. The resulting Ge/Au/Si(111) samples were isochronically annealed in the high vacuum condition. The behaviors of Au and Ge during thermal annealing and the structural Properties of $Ge_xSi_{1-x}$ films were characterized by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The a-Ge/Au/Si(111) structure was converted to the Au/GeSi/Si(111) structure. Defects such as stacking faults, point defects and dislocations were found at the GeXSil-X(111) interface, but the film was grown epitaxially with the matching face relationship of $Ge_xSi_{1-x}/$(111)/Si(111). Twin crystals were also found in the $Ge_xSi_{1-x}/$(111) matrix.

An attempt to grow high quality GaN on silicon substrate using metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), herein GaN epitaxial layers were grown on various Si(111) substrates. Thin Platinum layer was deposited on Si(111) substrate using sputtering, followed by thermal annealing to form Pt nano-clusters which act as masking layer during dry-etched with inductively coupled plasma-reactive ion etching to generate nano-patterned Si(111) substrate. In addition, micro-patterned Si(111) substrate with circle shape was also fabricated by using conventional photo-lithography technique. GaN epitaxial layers were subsequently grown on micro-, nano-patterned and conventional Si (111) substrate under identical growth conditions for comparison. The GaN layer grown on nano-patterned Si (111) substrate shows the lowest crack density with mirror-like surface morphology. The FWHM values of XRD rocking curve measured from symmetry (002) and asymmetry (102) planes are 576 arcsec and 828 arcsec, respectively. To corroborate an enhancement of the growth quality, the FWHM value achieved from the photoluminescence spectra also shows the lowest value (46.5 meV) as compare to other grown samples.

The growth of Ti on Si(111)-$7{\times}7$ and the formation of epitaxial C54 $TiSi_2$ were investigated by using reflection high energy electron diffraction(RHEED) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM). Polycrystalline Ti layer is grown on the amorphous Ti-Si interlayer which is formed at the Ti/Si interface by Ti deposition on Si(111)-$7{\times}7$ at room temperature (RT). HRTEM lattice image and transmission electron diffraction(TED) showed that epitaxial C54 $TiSi_2$ grown on Si substrate with 160 ML of Ti on Si(111)-$7{\times}7$ surface at RT, followed by annealing at $750^{\circ}C$ for 10 min in UHV. Thin single crystal Si overlayer with [111] direction is grown on $TiSi_2$ surface when $TiSi_2$/Si(111) is annealed at ${\sim}900^{\circ}C$ in UHV, which was confirmed by Si(111)-$7{\times}7$ superstructure.

The effects of adsorption and desorption of alkali-metals on Si(111) surface were investigated by using AES and RHEED-system. The adsorption system is a fundamental interest because of its unique electronic properties such as measurement of work function change, adatom-core level shift. It was found that the growth node of K on Si(111) surface was layer by layer growth and the saturation coverage was 2.0ML at room temperature. Superstructure changes on Si(111) surface according to the alkali-metal thickness and substrate temperatures were accurately defined. By applying the isothermal desorption method, the desorption energies of Li/Si(111) and K/Si(111) surfaces was measured. On Li/Si(111) and K/Si(111) surfaces, the desorption energies were 3.07 eV, 2.19 eV respectively.

Si은 값싸고 넓은 시설기반을 갖추고 있어, 발전산업에서 태양광소자의 주원료로 널리 사용된다. 하지만 Si은 간접 띠틈을 Si의 특성을 개선하기 위해 최근 Si에 특정한 결함을 넣어 직접 띠틈으로 바꿔 광효율을 높이려는 시도가 있다. 2015년 초 Si단결정[111]으로 Seiwatz-chain 형태의 결함이 있다면 결함이 있는 Si(111)에 직접 띠틈이 생길 것 이라고 이론적으로 예상했다. 이러한 구조의 제작방법으로 Ca/Si(111)과 Si(111)을 접합 후 가열하여 Ca을 빼내는 방법을 제시했다[1]. 본 연구에서는 이 제작방법 외에 Ca/Si(111)-$2{\times}1$ 표면에서[2] 에피성장으로 결함이 유지된 Si단결정 형성가능성을 제일원리 계산을 통해 연구했다. 제일원리 계산방법으로는 VASP(Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package)를 이용하였다. Si원자 한개, 두 개, 세 개가 흡착될 경우 원자당 흡착에너지는 각각 3.73 eV, 3.73 eV, 3.91 eV 였다. 따라서 Si원자는 무리형태로 흡착될 것으로 예상되어 결함을 유지하며 단결정으로 성장하기는 어려울 것으로 보인다.

We have studied the magnetoresistance and the magnetic anisotropy of Cu/(NiFe/Ni/NiFe) metallic multi layers grown on Si(100), Si(111), $4^{\circ}\;tilt-cut\;Si(111)$ or glass substrate. When the multilayer was grown on $4^{\circ}\;tilt-cut\;Si(111)$ with $50\;{\AA}$ of Cu underlayer, an in-plane uniaxial anisotropy was observed. On the other substrates such as Si(100), Si(111) or glass with Cu underlayer, however, no appreciable anisotropy was shown. The multilayer grown with NiFe or Ni underlayer or without underlayer did not show any arnsotropy even on $4^{\circ}\;tilt-cut\;Si(111)$. When $10\;{\AA}$ of NiFe was deposited prior to the Cu underlayer, the anisotropy in Cu/(NiFe/Ni/NiFe) multilayer disappeared.

We have studied initial oxidation of the alkali metal(AM)/Si(111) surface using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and reflection high energy electron diffraction(RHEED) at room temperature(RT) and high temperature(HT)(300~50$0^{\circ}C$). The oxidation of the Si(111)7$\times$7 surface was promoted by the adsorption of 1 momolayer(ML) AM, whereas no promotion occurred for submonolayer(<0.5 ML) adsorbed Si(111)7$\times$7 surface at RT. O Is core level spectra were measured with increasing oxygen exposure. It was found that the oxygen adsorbed on the Si(111)7$\times$7-AM surface have two different bond configuration, Si-O and Am-O, respectively. From these results, we discussed the role of AM-O bonding in the promoted oxidation. At HT(300~50$0^{\circ}C$), the AM-adsorbed surface became very inactive with the structural transformation to the 3$\times$1-AM. We present the results of the oxidation of the Si(111)3$\times$1-AM(Na, K, Cs) surface.

Y$_2$O$_3$films were grown on SiO$_2$-covered Si(111), and hydrogen-terminated Si(111), and hydrogen-terminated Si(111) substrates at 50$0^{\circ}C$ by ultrahigh vacuum ionized cluster beam deposition (UHV-ICB). The microstructures and growth behavior of these films have been investigated by transmission electron diffraction (TED) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HREM). The TED results show that the $Y_2$O$_3$grown on the SiO$_2$-Si has the epitaxial relationship of (11-1)Y$_2$O$_3$∥(111)Si and [-110]Y$_2$O$_3$∥[-110]Si. The film on the H-Si substrate contains YS\ulcorner and amorphous YSi\ulcornerO\ulcorner layers at the interface, having the orientation relationship each other. For the YSi\ulcorner and the Si substrate, the relationship is (0001)YSi\ulcorner∥(111)Si and [1-210]YSi\ulcorner∥∥[-110]Si. For the $Y_2$O$_3$and the YSi\ulcorner ; the relationship is as follows: (11-1)Y$_2$O$_3$∥(0001)YSi\ulcorner and [-110]Y$_2$O$_3$∥[1-210]YSi\ulcorner(111)Y$_2$O$_3$∥(0001)YSi\ulcorner and [-110]Y$_2$O$_3$∥[1-210]YSi\ulcorner. Explanation is given to describe the formation mechanisms of the interfacial phases of SiO\ulcorner, YSi\ulcornerO\ulcorner and YSi\ulcorner. It is shown that the crystallinity of the $Y_2$O$_3$film on the SiO$_2$-Si(111) is better than that of $Y_2$O$_3$on H-Si(111).

Epitaxial ultrathin films of $CoSi_2$ and double heteroepitaxial structure of Si/$CoSi_2$/Si(lll) were prepared on Si(111)-$7\times{7}$ substrate by in situ solid-phase epitaxy in a ultrahigh vacuum(LHV). The phase, chemical composition, crystallinity, and the microsructure of the Si/$CoSi_2$/Si(lll) interface were investigated by 2-MeV $^4He^{++}$ ion backscattering spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The growth mode of the Co film was the Stransky-Krastanov type with texture when the substrate temperature was room temperature. A-type $CoSi_2$ ultrathin film was grown by deposition of about 50A Co on Si(ll1)-$7\times{7}$ substrate followed by in situ annealing at $700^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. The matching face relationships were $CoSi_2$[110]//Si[110] and $CoSi_2$(002)//Si(002) with no misorientation angle. The A-type $CoSi_2$/Si(lll) interface was abrupt and coherent. The best epi-Si/epi-$CoSi_2$2(A-type)/Si(lll) structure was obtained by deposition of Si film on the CoSii at $500^{\circ}C$ followed by in situ annealing at $700^{\circ}C$ for 10 min in UHV.
