In order to find a proper buffering material which can prohibit an unwanted interfacial reaction between anode and electrolyte of LSGM-based SOFC, we examined a gadolinium doped ceria and scandium doped zirconia as a candidate. For this examination, we investigated the microstructural and phase stability of the interface under different buffering layer conditions. According to the investigation, ceria based material induced a serious La diffusion out of the LSGM electrolyte resulted in the formation of very resistive $LaSrGa_3O_7$ phase at the interface. On the other hand zirconia based material was directly reacted with LSGM electrolyte and thus produced very resistive reaction products such as $La_2Zr_2O_7,\;Sr_2ZrO_4,\;LaSrGaO_4\;and\;LaSrGa_3O_7$. From this study we found that an improper buffering material induced the higher internal cell resistance rather than an interfacial stability.

The silver nanowires (AgNWs) were synthesized by the conventional polyol process, which revealed 25 ㎛ and 30 nm of average length and diameter, respectively. The synthesized AgNWs were applied to the CdSe/CdZnS quantum dot (QD) based transparent light-emitting device (LED). The device using a randomly networked AgNWs electrode had some problems such as the high threshold voltage (for operating the device) due to the random pores from the networked AgNWs. As a method of improvement, a composite electrode was formed by overlaying the ZnO:Ga on the AgNWs network. The device used the composite electrode revealed a low threshold voltage (4.4 Vth) and high current density compared to the AgNWs only electrode device. The brightness and current density of the device using composite electrode were 55.57 cd/㎡ and 41.54 mA/㎠ at the operating voltage of 12.8 V, respectively, while the brightness and current density of the device using (single) AgNWs only were 1.71 cd/㎡ and 2.05 mA/㎠ at the same operating voltage. The transmittance of the device revealed 65 % in a range of visible light. Besides the reliability of the devices was confirmed that the device using the composite electrode revealed 2 times longer lifetime than that of the AgNWs only electrode device.

In this work, we investigate ohmic contacts to p-type GaN using a Pt/Cu/Au metallization scheme in order to achieve low resistance and thermally stable ohmic contact on p-GaN. An ohmic contact formed by a metal electrode deposited on a highly doped InGaN/GaN superlattice sturucture on p-GaN layer. The specific contact resistance is $1.56{\times}10^{-6}{\Omega}cm^2$ for the as-deposited sample, $1.35{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm^2$ for the sample annealed at $250^{\circ}C$ and $6.88{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm^2$ for the sample annealed at $300^{\circ}C$.

Low resistance ohmic contacts to the Si-doped InGaN(~$\times$10$^{19}$ ㎤) were obtained using the W metallization schemes. Specific contact resistance decreased with increasing annealing temperature. The lowest resistance is obtained after a nitrogen ambient annealing at 95$0^{\circ}C$ for 90s, which results in a specific contact resistance of 2.75$\times$10$^{-8}$ Ω$\textrm{cm}^2$. Interfacial reactions and surface are analyzed using x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The X-ray diffraction results show that the reactions between the W film and the InGaN produce a $\beta$-W$_2$N phase at the interface. TEM results also show that the $\beta$-W$_2$N has a rough interface, which increase contact area. It shows that the morphology of the contacts is stable up to a temperature as high as 95$0^{\circ}C$. Possible mechanisms are proposed to describe the annealing temperature dependence of the specific contact resistance.

Comparative photoresponsive current-volt-age characteristics of n-channel PHEMT and MESFET on GaAs substrate. with (W/L)=200${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of gates, are reported as a function of electro-optical stimulation (P\ulcorner, λ=830nm) for the first time as far as we know. Significantly different photoresponses are observed in MESFET and PHEMT, mainly due to different optoelectronic mechanisms in the formation and current conduction of channel carriers. Under high optical power, high photoresponsity with a strong non-linearity with P\ulcorner, predominantly due to a parallel conduction via a heavily doped Al\ulcornerGa\ulcornerAs donor layer, was observed in PHEMT while the optically induced drain current has been very small but monotonically increasing with optical stimulation in GaAs MESFET. We also investigated differences in optically stimulated gate leakage currents and photonic gate responses on gate voltage and drain voltage as a function of P\ulcorner. Based on the drain and gate responses to electro-optical stimulation. PHEMTs are expected to be a better candidate for high performance photonically responsive microwave device compared with MESFETs.

We have investigated the optical properties of Te-doped ZnSSe:Te epitaxial layers grown on (100) GaAs substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. The Te-doped ternary specimen shows strong blue or green emission (at 300k) which is assigned to Te$_{1}$ or Te$_{n}$( n$\geq$2) cluster bound exciton. Bright green and blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been developed using ZnSSe:Te system as an active layer. The green LEDs exhibit a fairly long device lifetime (>2000 h) when operated at 3 A/cm$^{2}$ under CW condition at room temperature. It is confirmed that the Te-doping induced "crystal-hardening effect" plays a significant role in both efficient and strong suppression of the optical device degradation.gradation.

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) films have attracted considerable attention for transparent conducting films, because of their high conductivity, good optical transmittance from UV to near IR as well as a low-cost fabrication. To increase the conductivity of ZnO, doping of group III elements (Al, Ga, In and B) has been carried out. Transparent conducting films have been applied for optoelectric devices, the development of the transparent conducting thin films on flexible light-weight substrates are required. In this research, the transparent conducting ZnO thin films doped with Aluminum (Al) on polymer substrates were deposited by the RF magnetron suputtering method, and the structural, optical and electrical properties were investigated.

10Gbps급 이상의 광통신에 적합한 성능을 가지는 InAlAs/InGaAs 다중양자우물 구조(MQW) 애벌런치 광다이오드(APD)를 제작하였다. 본 논문에서는 MBE로 성장된 에피구조에서 높은 농도로 도핑된 field butter layer의 Be dopant의 다중양자우물 구조로의 indiffusion이 소자의 암전류 특성과 이득 특성에 이치는 영향을 분석하였다. Be의 indiffusion은 작은 양으로도 소자의 특성에 큰 영향을 끼칠 수 있음이 보여졌으며 spacer layer를 삽입함으로써 높은 대역폭을 유지하면서 낮은 암전류 특성을 나타내는 소자를 제작함으로써 space layer의 삽입이 indiffusion의 영향을 효과적으로 막을 수 있음을 보였다.

Metamorphic HEMTs (MHEMTs) have emerged as excellent challenges for the design and fabrication of high-speed HEMTs for millimeter-wave applications. Some of improvements result from improved mobility and larger conduction band discontinuity in the channel, leading to more efficient modulation doping, better confinement, and better device performance compared with pseudomorphic HEMTs. We have studied the calibration on the DC and RF characteristics of the MHEMT device using I $n_{0.53}$G $a_{0.47}$As/I $n_{0.52}$A1$_{0.48}$As modulation-doped heterostructure on the GaAs wafer. For the optimized device performance simulation, we calibrated the device performance of 0.1-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ $\Gamma$-gate MHEMT fabricated in our research center using the 2D ISE-DESSIS device simulator. With this calibrated parameter set, we have obtained very good reproducibility. The device simulation on the DC and RF characteristics exhibits good reproducibility for our 0.1-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ -gate MHEMT device compared with the measurements. We expect that our calibration result can help design over-100-GHz MHEMT devices for better device performance.ormance.
