One-dimensional nanosturctures such as nanowires and nanotube have been mainly proposed as important components of nano-electronic devices and are expected to play an integral part in design and construction of these devices. Silicon carbide(SiC) is one of a promising wide bandgap semiconductor that exhibits extraordinary properties, such as higher thermal conductivity, mechanical and chemical stability than silicon. Therefore, the synthesis of SiC-based nanowires(NWs) open a possibility for developing a potential application in nano-electronic devices which have to work under harsh environment. In this study, one-dimensional nanowires(NWs) of cubic phase silicon carbide($\beta$-SiC) were efficiently produced by thermal chemical vapor deposition(T-CVD) synthesis of mixtures containing Si powders and hydrocarbon in a alumina boat about $T\;=\;1400^{\circ}C$ SEM images are shown that the temperature below $1300^{\circ}C$ is not enough to synthesis the SiC NWs due to insufficient thermal energy for melting of Si Powder and decomposition of methane gas. However, the SiC NWs are produced over $1300^{\circ}C$ and the most efficient temperature for growth of SiC NWs is about $1400^{\circ}C$ with an average diameter range between 50 ~ 150 nm. Raman spectra revealed the crystal form of the synthesized SiC NWs is a cubic phase. Two distinct peaks at 795 and $970\;cm^{-1}$ over $1400^{\circ}C$ represent the TO and LO mode of the bulk $\beta$-SiC, respectively. In XRD spectra, this result was also verified with the strongest (111) peaks at $2{\theta}=35.7^{\circ}$, which is very close to (111) plane peak position of 3C-SiC over $1400 ^{\circ}C$ TEM images are represented to two typical $\beta$-SiC NWs structures. One is shown the defect-free $\beta$-SiC nanowire with a (111) interplane distance with 0.25 nm, and the other is the stacking-faulted $\beta$-SiC nanowire. Two SiC nanowires are covered with $SiO_2$ layer with a thickness of less 2 nm. Moreover, by changing the flow rate of methane gas, the 300 sccm is the optimal condition for synthesis of a large amount of $\beta$-SiC NWs.

Chemical sensors have attracted much attention due to their various applications such as agriculture product, cosmetic and pharmaceutical components and clinical control. A conventional chemical and biological sensor is consists of fluorescent dye, optical light sources, and photodetector to quantify the extent of concentration. Such complicated system leads to rising cost and slow response time. Until now, the most contemporary thin film transistors (TFTs) are used in the field of flat panel display technology for switching device. Some papers have reported that an interesting alternative to flat panel display technology is chemical sensor technology. Recent advances in chemical detection study for using TFTs, benefits from overwhelming progress made in organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) electronic, have been studied alternative to current optical detection system. However numerous problems still remain especially the long-term stability and lack of reliability. On the other hand, the utilization of metal oxide transistor technology in chemical sensors is substantially promising owing to many advantages such as outstanding electrical performance, flexible device, and transparency. The top-gate structure transistor indicated long-term atmosphere stability and reliability because insulator layer is deposited on the top of semiconductor layer, as an effective mechanical and chemical protection. We report on the fabrication of InGaZnO TFTs with silver nanowire as the top gate electrode for the aim of chemical materials detection by monitoring change of electrical properties. We demonstrated that the improved sensitivity characteristics are related to the employment of a unique combination of nano materials. The silver nanowire top-gate InGaZnO TFTs used in this study features the following advantages: i) high sensitivity, ii) long-term stability in atmosphere and buffer solution iii) no necessary additional electrode and iv) simple fabrication process by spray.

나노선에서 코어-셸 헤테로 구조를 도입함으로써 열 전도율을 낮출 수 있으며, 이로 인해 열전 효율(ZT)을 향상시킬 수 있다는 것이 이론 연구를 통해 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 코어-셸 나노선의 열전도율 감소를 실험적인 방법을 통해 확인하였다. 화학증기 증착법을 통해 만든 게르마늄-규소 $_x$ 게르마늄 $_{1-x}(Ge-Si_xGe_{1-x})$ 코어-셸 나노선의 열전도율을 마이크로 크기의 뜬 디바이스를 이용하여 측정하였다. 셸에서 측정된 실리콘의 함유율(x)는 0.65 로 확인하였으며, 게르마늄은 코어와 셸 사이에서, 격자 불일치(lattice mismatch)에서 비롯된 결점(defect)와 같은 역할을 한다. 또한, 4-point I-V 측정실험에, 휘트스톤 브릿지 실험을 추가 진행함으로써 측정 민감도를 강화하였다. 측정된 열전도율은 상온에서 9~13 W/mK 으로써, 비슷한 지름을 가지는 게르마늄 나노선과 비교하였을 때, 열전도율이 약 30 % 낮아졌음을 확인하였다.

Single-crystalline silicon nanowires (SiNWs) were fabricated by using an electroless metal-assisted etching of bulk silicon wafers with silver nanoparticles obtained by wet electroless deposition. The etching of SiNWs is based on sequential treatment in aqueous solutions of silver nitrate followed by hydrofluoric acid and hydrogen peroxide. SEM observation shows that well-aligned nanowire arrays perpendicular to the surface of the Si substrate were produced. Free-standing SiNWs were then obtained using ultrasono-method in toluene. Alkyl-derivatized SiNWs were prepared to prevent the aggregation of SiNWs and obtained from the reaction of SiNWs and dodecene via hydrosilylation. Optical characterizations of SiNWs were achieved by FT-IR spectroscopy and indicated that the surface of SiNWs is terminated with hydrogen for fresh SiNWs and with dodecyl group for dodecyl-derivatized SiNWs, respectively. The main structures of dodecyl-derivatized SiNWs are wires and rods and their thicknesses of rods and wire are typically 150-250 and 10-20 nm, respectively. The morphology and chemical state of dodecyl-derivatized SiNWs are characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

The present work deals with selective deposition of copper on fluoropolymers patterned silicon (111) surfaces. The pattern of fluoropolymer was fabricated by nanoimprint lithography (NIL) and plasma reactive ion etching (RIE) was used to remove the residuals layers. Copper was electrochemically deposited in bare Si regions which were not covered with fluoropolymers. The patterns of fluoropolymers and copper have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In this work, we used two deposition methods. One is galvanic displacement method and another is electrodeposition. Selective deposition works in both cases and it shows applicability to other materials. By optimization of the deposition conditions can be achieved therefore this process represents a simple approach for a direct high resolution patterning of silicon surfaces.

We synthesized silicon carbide (${\beta}-SiC$) nanowires with nano-scale diameter (30 - 400 nm) and micro-scale length ($50-200{\mu}m$) on a porous body using low-grade silica and carbon black powder by carbothermal reduction at $1300-1600^{\circ}C$. The SiC nanowires were formed by vapor-liquid-solid deposition with self-evaporated Fe catalysts in low-grade silica. We investigated the characteristics of the SiC nanowires, which were grown on a porous body with Ar flowing in a vacuum furnace. Their structural, optical, and electrical properties were analyzed with X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and selective area electron diffraction (SAED). We obtained high-quality SiC single crystalline nanowire without stacking faults that may have uses in industrial applications.

Carbon-based materials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene have emerged as promising building blocks in applications for nanoelectronics and energy devices due to electrical property, ease of processability, and relatively inert electrochemistry. In recent years, there has been considerable interest in core-shell nanomaterials, in which inorganic nanowires are surrounded by inorganic or organic layers. Especially, carbon encapsulated semiconductor nanowires have been actively investigated by researchers in lithium ion batteries. We report a method to synthesize silicon nanowire (SiNW) core/carbon shell structures by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), using methane (CH4) as a precursor at growth temperature of $1000{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$. Unlike carbon-based materials synthesized via conventional routes, this method is of advantage of metal-catalyst free growth. We characterized these materials with FE-SEM, FE-TEM, and Raman spectroscopy. This would allow us to use these materials for applications ranging from optoelectronics to energy devices such as solar cells and lithium ion batteries.

Silicon 기반 Metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET)의 크기가 감소함에 따라 silicon자체의 물성적 한계가 나타나고 있다. 이를 극복하고자 III-V 화합물 반도체가 채널소자로서 각광받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 III-V 화합물반도체 중 $In_xGa_{1-x}As$는 Indium 조성에 따른 전자구조 및 n-type MOSFET의 소자 특성을 본다. Indium의 조성이 증가함에 따라 subband의 개수와 간격이 증가하게 되어 Density of state가 감소하게 된다. 이로 인하여 Indium의 조성이 증가함에 따라 $In_xGa_{1-x}As$ 채널 MOSFET에서 상대적으로 Fermi level을 더 많이 상승시키게 되어 potential barrier를 얇아지게 만들며 또한 에너지에 따른 전류 밀도를 넓게 분포하도록 만든다. 이로 인하여 단채널에서는 In 조성이 증가함에 따라 direct source-to-drain tunnelling current이 증가하게 된다. 이로 인하여 In 조성의 증가에 따라 subthreshold swing과 ON-state current가 저하된다.

According to advanced nanotechnology, the nanostructured materials with various kinds and shape are synthesized easily or produced by process. Recently, researches about interaction between the nanostructured materials and biological system have been progressed actively. The surface topography may influence cellular responses, for example cell adhesion, cell morphology. In this work, we synthesized vertically aligned silicon nanowires (SiNWs) on the Au-covered Si(111) wafer by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. We accomplished to control of the SiNWs diameter by regulating thickness of Au film such as 1 nm and 10 nm. These substrates did not isolate cells and just provided surface topography for cell culture. Human Embryonic Kidney 293T cells (HEK 293T cells) were cultured on these substrates for 2 days. We studied the nanotopographical effects on cell morphology, adhesion, and growth which are evaluated on each SiNWs substrate comparing bare glass as control.
