Ti과 Si의 초기 반응이 Titanium Silicide의 표면 거칠기 (Surface roughness)를 고찰하기 위해 연구하였다. 형성기구는 In-situ AES와 LEED의 측정장비로 연구하였다. Ti의 하나나 두 원자층이 초고진공에서 원자적으로 깨끗한 Si 기판 위에 증착되었다. Reconstruction이 된 $7{\times}7$ Si(111) 표면이 초 고진공하에서 얻어졌으며 박막의 증착은 Quartz Crystal Oscillator로 측정되었다. In-situ 측정 결과 Ti과 Si의 초기 반응이 실온에서 일어났으며 Disorder막을 형성하였다. 낮은 온도($200^{\circ}C{\sim}300^{\circ}C$)에서 Ti과 Si의 Intermixing이 고찰되었고 $400^{\circ}C$ 근처에서 $1{\times}1$ Si(111) LEED 패턴이 관찰되었다. 이것은 Disorder막이 Order막으로 변화가 생긴 것을 나타낸다. 더 높은 온도에서 $7{\times}7$ Si(111) LEED 패턴이 재관찰되었는데 이것은 3차원적인 $TiSi_2$의 형성을 증명하는 것이다.

The growth mode of the Si layers which were grown on Si(111) by using Ag as surfactant were investigated by intensity oscillations of the RHEED specular spot at the different temperatures. we found that the introduction of Ag as the surfactant alters the growth mode from a three-dimensional clustering mechanism to a two-dimensional layer-by-layer growth. In the growth of Si layers on Si(111) with a surfactant Ag, At $450^{\circ}C$, RHEED intensity oscillation was very stable and periodic from early stage of deposition to 32 ML. RHEED patterns during homoepitaxial growth at $450^{\circ}C$ was changed from $7{\times}7$ structure into ${\sqrt{3}}{\times}{\sqrt{3}}$ structures. Since the ${\sqrt{3}}{\times}{\sqrt{3}}$ structure include no stacking fault, the stacking fault layer seems to be reconstructed into normal stacking one at transition from the $7{\times}7$ structure to a ${\sqrt{3}}{\times}{\sqrt{3}}$ one. We also found that the number of the intensity oscillation of the specular spot for Si growth with a surfactant Ag was more than for Si growth without a surfactant. This result may be explained that the activation energy decrease for the surface diffusion of Si atoms due to segregation of the surfactant toward the growing surface.

Since the concept of graphene was established, it has been intensively investigated by researchers. The unique characteristics of graphene have been reported, the graphene attracted a lot of attention for material overcomes the limitations of existing semiconductor materials. Because of these trends, economical fabrication technique is becoming more and more important topic. Especially, the epitaxial growth method by sublimating the silicon atoms on Silicon carbide (SiC) substrate have been reported on the mass production of high quality graphene sheets. Although SiC exists in a variety of polytypes, the 3C-SiC polytypes is the only polytype that grows directly on Si substrate. To practical use of graphene for electronic devices, the technique, forming the graphene on 3C-SiC(111)/Si structure, is much helpful technique. In this paper, we report on the growth of graphene on 3C-SiC(111) surface. To investigate the morphology of formed graphene on the 3C-SiC(111) surface, the radial distribution function (RDF) was calculated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Through the comparison between the kinetic energies and the diffusion energy barrier of surface carbon atoms, we successfully determined that the graphitization strongly depends on temperature. This graphitization occurs above the annealing temperature of 1500K, and is also closely related to the behavior of carbon atoms on SiC surface. By analyzing the results, we found that the diffusion energy barrier is the key parameter of graphene growth on SiC surface.

Electrochemical, in situ electrochemical scanning tunneling microscope (EC-STM), and attenuated total reflectance-FTIR (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopic methods were employed to investigate the preparation of atomically flat Si(111)-H surface in ammonium fluoride solutions. Electrochemical properties of atomically flat Si(111)-H surface were characterized by anodic oxidation and cathodic hydrogen evolution with the open circuit potential (OCP) of ca. -0.4 V in concentrated ammonium fluoride solutions. As soon as the natural oxide-covered Si(111) electrode was immersed in fluoride solutions, OCP quickly shifted to near -1 V, which was more negative than the flat band potential of silicon surface, indicating that the surface silicon oxide had to be dissolved into the solution. OCP changed to become less negative as the oxide layer was being removed from the silicon surface. In situ EC-STM data showed that the surface was changed from the initial oxidecovered silicon to atomically rough hydrogen-terminated surface and then to atomically flat hydrogenterminated surface as the OCP moved toward less negative potentials. The atomically flat Si(111)-H structure was confirmed by in situ EC-STM and ATR-FTIR data. The dependence of atomically flat Si(111)-H terrace on mis-cut angle was investigated by STM, and the results agreed with those anticipated by calculation. Further, the stability of Si(111)-H was checked by STM in ambient laboratory conditions.

Epitaxial growth of SiC films on Si(111) substrates without carbonization was carried out n the temperature range of 900-100$0^{\circ}C$ under high vacuum conditions by single source chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of 1,3-disilabutane (H$_3$SiCH$_2$SiH$_2$$CH_3$). The monocrystalline nature of the films was confirmed by XRD, RHEED and cross-sectional TED. Cross-sectional TEM image indicated that no void exists and the boundary is clear and smooth at the SiC-Si(111) interface. RBS and AES analyses also showed that the films are stoichiometric and homogeneous in depth, From the results, this single source growth techniqe of using 1,3-disilabutane has been found suitable and effective for epitaxial growth of stoichiometric SiC on Si(111) without carbonization at temperatures below 100$0^{\circ}C$.

광 패키징에서 광섬유와 광전자소자를 정확히 정렬하기 위한 V-groove의 치수 정밀도에 미치는 마스크 재료와 에칭용액의 영향을 연구하였다. PECVD nitride, LPCVD nitride, thermal oxide($SiO_2$)를 마스크재료로 사용하였고 실리콘을 이방성에칭하는 용액으로 KOH(40wt%)용액과 KOH(40wt%)용액에 IPA를 첨가한 용액을 이용하였다. 마스크재료로는 LPCVD nitride가 가장 좋은 선택적에칭특성을 나타내었으며 사용된 마스크재료 중 thermal oxide가 가장 빠른 속도로 에칭되었다. V-groove의 크기 증가는 마스크충 아래로의 undercutting에 의해 생겼는데 이는 주로 (111)면으로의 에칭 때문이었다. KOH(40wt%)용액에서 (111)면의 에칭속도는 0.034 - 0.037 $\mu\textrm{m}$/min로 마스크재료에 관계없이 거의 일정하였다. IPA를 KOH(40wt%)용액에 첨가하면 (100)면과 (111)면의 에칭속도는 모두 감소하지만 (111)면에 대한 (100)면의 에칭속도비는 증가하였다. 그러므로 이런 용액에서 (111)면으로의 에칭에 의한 undercutting현상은 줄어들었으며 V-groove의 크기를 더 정확하게 조절할 수 있었다.

P-type Si(111)기판 위에 3C-SiC박막 성장시 TMS(tetramethylsilane)유량, 반응온도, 반응압력, 가스공급방법등 다양한 성장변수에 따른 박막의 결정성변화를 연구하였다. 증착된 막은 모두 (111)방향성만을 나타내었고, free Si, C의 존재는 관찰할 수 없었다. TMS 유량 0.5 sccm에서, 1100-120$0^{\circ}C$의 반응온도에서 , 반응압력 12-50Torr 조건에서 비록 dislocation과 twin등이 발결되었으나 단결정 3C-SiC 박막을 성장시킬 수 있었으며, 박막의 결정성은 기판에 흡착된 Si-종과 C-종이migration할 수 있는 시간과 에너지에 크게 영향 받음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 SiC/Si계면에서 carbonization공정에서 관찰되는 것으로 알려진 void를 관찰할 수 있었으며, 이러한 void의 발생은 기체공급방법을 달리함으로서 제거할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, the effects of an annealed buffer layer with different thickness on heterojunction diodes based on the ZnO/ZnO/p-Si(111) systems were reported. The effects of an annealed buffer layer with different thickness on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) films on p-Si(111) were also studied. Before zinc oxide (ZnO) deposition, different thicknesses of ZnO buffer layer, 10 nm, 30 nm, 50 nm and 70 nm, were grown on p-Si(111) substrates using a radio-frequency sputtering system; samples were subsequently annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes in $N_2$ in a horizontal thermal furnace. Zinc oxide (ZnO) films with a width of 280nm were also deposited using a radio-frequency sputtering system on the annealed ZnO/p-Si (111) substrates at room temperature; samples were subsequently annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes in $N_2$. In this experiment, the structural and optical properties of ZnO thin films were studied by XRD (X-ray diffraction), and room temperature PL (photoluminescence) measurements, respectively. Current-voltage (I-V) characteristics were measured with a semiconductor parameter analyzer. The thermal tensile stress was found to decrease with increasing buffer layer thickness. Among the ZnO/ZnO/p-Si(111) diodes fabricated in this study, the sample that was formed with the condition of a 50 nm thick ZnO buffer layer showed a strong c-axis preferred orientation and I-V characteristics suitable for a heterojunction diode.
