Epitaxial Pb(Zr, Ti)O3(PZT) thin films were prepared on MgO(100) substrates by dipping-pyrolysis (DP) process using metal naphthenates as starting materials, and effects of pyrolysis and final heat-treatment conditions on the film's orientation were investigated. Solid-state epitaxial growth of PZT proceeds at lower temperature around 650℃ from the precursor pyrolyzed at 350 and 500℃. The in-plane alignment of the PZT films depends not only on the final heat-treatment temperature but on the pyrolysis conditions; the films, pyrolyzed at a higher temperature for a short time, i.e., at 500℃ for 10 min, exhibited stronger orientation after the same final heat treatment at 650°∼750℃. The PZT films with the strongest orientation were prepared by pyrolysis under the above conditions followed by final heat treatment at 750℃.

The synthesis of layered structures on the nanometer scale has become essential for continued improvements in the operation of various electronic and magnetic devices. Abrupt metal-metal interfaces are desired for applications ranging from metallization in semiconductor devices to fabrication of magnetoresistive tunnel junctions for read heads on magnetic disk drives. In particular, characterizing the interface structure between various transition metals (TM) and aluminum is desirable. We have used the techniques of MeV ion backscattering and channeling (HEIS), x-ray photoemission (ZPS), x-ray photoelectron diffraction(XPD), low-energy ion scattering (LEIS), and low-energy electron diffraction(LEED), together with computer simulations using embedded atom potentials, to study solid-solid interface structure for thin films of Ni, Fe, Co, Pd, Ti, and Ag on Al(001), Al(110) and Al(111) surfaces. Considerations of lattice matching, surface energies, or compound formation energies alone do not adequately predict our result, We find that those metals with metallic radii smaller than Al(e.g. Ni, Fe, Co, Pd) tend to form alloys at the TM-Al interface, while those atoms with larger atomic radii(e.g. Ti, Ag) form epitaxial overlayers. Thus we are led to consider models in which the strain energy associated with alloy formation becomes a kinetic barrier to alloying. Furthermore, we observe the formation of metastable fcc Ti up to a critical thickness of 5 monolayers on Al(001) and Al(110). For Ag films we observe arbitrarily thick epitaxial growth exceeding 30 monolayers with some Al alloying at the interface, possible driven by interface strain relief. Typical examples of these interface structures will be discussed.

실리콘 기판에 GaN 에피성장을 확인하기 위해, P형 Si(100), Si(111) 기판 전면에 버퍼층으로 40 nm 두께의 코발트실리사이드를 형성시켰다. 형성된 코발트실리사이드 층에 연속으로 HVPE(hydride vapor phase epitaxy)로 하나는 $850^{\circ}C$-12분 + $1080^{\circ}C$-30분(공정I)과, 또 하나 조건은 $557^{\circ}C$-5분 + $900^{\circ}C$-5분(공정II) 조건으로 각각 나누어 진행하여 보았다. GaN의 에피성장을 광학현미경, 주사전자현미경, 주사탐침현미경, 그리고 HR-XRD로 확인하였다. 공정I로는 GaN의 에피성장이 진행되지 않았으며, 공정II에서는 에피성장이 진행되었다. 특히 공정 II는 열팽창에 의해 실리콘 기판과의 자가정렬적인 기판분리 현상을 보였으며, XRD로 GaN의 0002 방향의 결정성 (crystallinity)을 ${\omega}$-scan으로 확인한 결과(100)면 방향의\ 실리콘과 코발트실리사이드를 버퍼층으로 활용하고 저온에서 HVPE를 진행한 조합이 GaN의 에피성장에 유리하였다.

The phase sequence of codeposited Co-Si alloy and Co/si multilayer thin film was investigated by differential scanning calormetry(DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, The phase sequence in codeposition and codeposited amorphous Co-Si alloy thin film were CoSilongrightarrow Co2Si and those in Co/Si multilayer thin film were CoSilongrightarrowCo2Silongrightarrow and CoSilongrightarrowCo2Si longrightarrowCoSilongrightarrowCoSi2 with the atomic concentration ration of Co to Si layer being 2:1 and 1:2 respectively. The observed phase sequence was analyzed by the effectvie heat of formatin . The phase determining factor (PDF) considering structural facotr in addition to the effectvie heat of formation was used to explain the difference in the first crystalline phase between codeposition, codeposited amorphous Co-Si alloy thin film and Co/Si multilayer thin film. The crystallinity of Co-silicide deposited by multitarget bias cosputter deposition (MBCD) wasinvestigated as a funcion of deposition temperature and substrate bias voltage by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and epitaxial CoSi2 layer was grown at $200^{\circ}C$ . Parameters, Ear, $\alpha$(As), were calculate dto quantitatively explain the low temperature epitaxial grpwth of CoSi2 layer. The phase sequence and crystallinity had a stronger dependence on the substrate bias voltage than on the deposition temperature due to the collisional daxcade mixing, in-situ cleannin g, and increase in the number of nucleation sites by ion bombardment of growing surface.

HgCdTe Is the most versatile material for the developing infrared devices. Not like III-V compound semiconductors or silicon-based photo-detecting materials, HgCdTe has unique characteristics such as adjustable bandgap, very high electron mobility, and large difference between electron and hole mobilities. Many research groups have been interested in this material since early 70's, but mainly due to its thermodynamic difficulties for preparing materials, no single growth technique is appreciated as a standard growth technique in this research field. Solid state recrystallization(SSR), travelling heater method(THM), and Bridgman growth are major techniques used to grow bulk HgCdTe material. Materials with high quality and purity can be grown using these bulk growth techniques, however, due to the large separation between solidus and liquidus line on the phase diagram, it is very difficult to grow large materials with minimun defects. Various epitaxial growth techniques were adopted to get large area HgCdTe and among them liquid phase epitaxy(LPE), metal organic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD), and molecular beam epitaxy(MBE) are most frequently used techniques. There are also various types of photo-detectors utilizing HgCdTe materials, and photovoltaic and photoconductive devices are most interested types of detectors up to these days. For the larger may detectors, photovoltaic devices have some advantages over power-requiring photoconductive devices. In this paper we reported the main results on the HgCdTe growing and characterization including LPE and MOCVD, device fabrication and its characteristics such as single element and linear array($8{\times}1$ PC, $128{\times}1$ PV and 4120{\times}1$ PC). Also we included the results of the dewar manufacturing, assembling, and optical and environmental test of the detectors.

GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are attracting great interest as candidates for next-generation solid-state lighting, because of their long lifetime, small size, high efficacy, and low energy consumption. However, for general illumination applications, the external quantum efficiency of LEDs, determined by the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) and the light extraction efficiency, must be further increased. The IQE is determined by crystal quality and epitaxial layer structure and high value of IQE more than 70% for blue LEDs have been already reported. However, there is much room for improvement of light extraction efficiency because most of the generated photons from active layer remain inside LEDs by total internal reflection at the interface of semiconductor with air due to the high refractive index difference between LEDs epilayer (for GaN, n=2.5) and air (n=1). The light confining in LEDs will be reabsorbed by the metal electrode or active layer, reducing the efficacy of LEDs. Here, we present the first demonstration of enhanced light extraction by forming a MgO nano-pyramids structure on the surface of vertical-LEDs. The MgO nano-pyramids structure was successfully fabricated at room temperature using conventional electron-beam evaporation without any additional process. The nano-sized pyramids of MgO are formed on the surface during growth due to anisotropic characteristics between (111) and (200) plane of MgO. The ZnO layer with quarter-wavelength in thickness is inserted between GaN and MgO layers to increase the critical angle for total internal reflection, because the refractive index of ZnO (n=1.94) could be matched between GaN (n=2.5) and MgO (n=1.73). The MgO nano-pyramids structure and ZnO refractive-index modulation layer enhanced the light extraction efficiency ofV-LEDs with by 49%, comparing with the V-LEDs with a flat n-GaN surface. The angular-dependent emission intensity shows the enhanced light extraction through the side walls of V-LEDs as well as through the top surface of the n-GaN, because of the increase in critical angle for total internal reflection as well as light scattering at the MgO nano-pyramids surface.
