In this research, 50 nm thick AlN thin films were deposited on the patterned sapphire (0001) substrate by using HVPE (Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy) system and then epitaxial layer structure was grown by MOCVD (metal organic chemical vapor deposition). The surface morphology of the AlN buffer layer film was observed by SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and AFM (atomic force microscope), and then the crystal structure of GaN films of the epitaxial layer structure was investigated by HR-XRC (high resolution X-ray rocking curve). The XRD peak intensity of GaN thin film of epitaxial layer structure deposited on AlN buffer layer film and sapphire substrate was rather higher in case of that on PSS than normal sapphire substrate. In AFM surface image, the epitaxial layer structure formed on AlN buffer layer showed rather low pit density and less defect density. In the optical output power, the epitaxial layer structure formed on AlN buffer layer showed very high intensity compared to that of the epitaxial layer structure without AlN thin film.

We studied the epitaxial growth of GaAs/GaAs and GaAs/Si by Laser CVD with 193nm ArF pulsed excimer laser. The source gases of TMGa and AsC13 or TMGa-TMAs adducts are mixed with H2, and photolyzed above the substrate which is heated up to around 300$^{\circ}C$. Then the photolyzed atoms are deposited on the silicon or GaAs substrate. The deposited films are analyzed with ESKA depth profiling and X-ray differaction method, which shows that the films on Si and GaAs are stoichiometric and crystalized at such a low temperature. We show a clear evidence for the epitaxial growth of GaAs on Si or GaAs on GaAs at low temperature by excimer laser CVD.

Two step growth of reduced pressure chemical vapor eposition has been successfully developed to achieve in-situ phosphorus-doped silicon epilayers, and the characteristic evolution on their microstructures has been investigated using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and secondary ion mass spectroscopy. The two step growth, which employs heavily in-situ P doped silicon buffer layer grown at low temperature, proposes crucial advantages in manipulating crystal structures of in-situ phosphorus doped silicon. In particular, our experimental results showed that with annealing of the heavily P doped silicon buffer layers, high-quality epitaxial silicon layers grew on it. the heavily doped phosphorus in buffer layers introduces into native oxide and plays an important role in promoting the dispersion of native oxides. Furthermore, the phosphorus doping concentration remains uniform depth distribution in high quality single crystalline Si films obtained by the two step growth.

Molecular layer deposition (MLD) is sequential, self-limiting surface reaction to form conformal and ultrathin polymer film. This technique generally uses bifunctional precursors for stepwise sequential surface reaction and entirely organic polymer films. Also, in comparison with solution-based technique, because MLD is vapor-phase deposition based on ALD, it allows epitaxial growth of molecular layer on substrate and is especially good for surface reaction or coating of nanostructure such as nanopore, nanochannel, nanwire array and so on. In this study, polyurea film that consisted of phenylenediisocyanate and phenylenediamine was formed by MLD technique. In situ Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) measurement on high surface area SiO2 substrate was used to monitor the growth of polyurethane and polyurea film. Also, to investigate orientation of chemical bonding formed polymer film, plan-polarized grazing angle FTIR spectroscopy was used and it showed epitaxial growth and uniform orientation of chemical bones of polyurea films.

We describe the preparation and characterization of epitaxial thin films made with high temperature superconductor, $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$. The influence of processing parameters for YBCO thin films on MgO substrates in-situ grown by the pulsed laser deposition, including parameters of a laser beam energy, oxygen pressure, substrate temperature, target-substrate dis-tance is discussed. The characteristics of YBCO thin films were analyzed by using XRD, R-T measurement, AFM, crosssectional TEM, and RBS. For examples of microwave device applications, The fabrication and characterization of the microstrip lowpass filter and bandpass filter are also presented.

The sapphire orientation dependence of the crystallization of ZnO thin films has been studied using real-time synchrotron x-ray scattering. The amorphous ZnO thin films with a 2400-${\AA}$-thick were grown on sapphire(110) and sapphire(001) substrates by radio frequency magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The amorphous ZnO films were crystallization into epitaxial ZnO(002) grains both on the sapphire(110) and on the sapphire(001) substrates. The epitaxial quality, such as mosaic distribution and crystal domain size, of the ZnO grains on the sapphire(110) is high, similar to that of the ZnO grains on the sapphire(001). With increasing the annealing temperature to 600$^{\circ}C$, the mosaic distribution and the crystal domain size of ZnO(002) grains in the film normal direction was improved and decreased, respectively.

Epitaxial thickness $t_e(T_s)$ of Si films grown at the substrate temperature $T_s$=80~30$0^{\circ}C$ by ultra-high vacuum ion-beam sputter deposition onto nominally-singular, [100]-miscut Si(001) was measured. $t_e(T_s)$ values of films grown on vicinal Si(001) substrates were decreases compared to those of films grown on nominally-singular Si(001). Evolution of surface roughness measured by atomic force microscopy of films grown at $300^{\circ}C$ showed that the increases step density in vicinal substrates increases the tendency toward unstable growth resulting in larger surface roughness, which in turn decreases te.

Selective epitaxial growth(SEG) of silicon were performed at low temperature under an ultraclean environment below $1000^{\circ}C$ using ultraclean $Si_2H_6$ and $H_2$ gases ambient in low pressure chemical vapor deposition(LPCVD). As a result of ultraclean processing, epitaxial Si layers with good quality were obtained for uniform and SEG wafer at temperatures range 600~$710^{\circ}C$ and an incubation period of Si deposition only on $SiO_2$ was found. Low-temperature Si selectivity deposition condition and epitaxy on Si were achieved without addition of HCl. The epitaxial layer was found to be thicker than the poly layer deposited over the oxide. Incubation period prolonged for 20~30 sec can be obtained by $O_2$addition. The surface morphologies & cross sections of the deposited films were observed with SEM, The structure of the Si films was evaluated XRD.

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$0^{\circ}C$.

The 0.65Pb($Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-0.35PbTiO_3$ (PMN-PT) thin films with $La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_{3-\delta}$ (LSCO) bottom electrodes were grown on $CeO_2$/YSZ/Si(001), Pt/$TiO_2$/Si and $SrTiO_3$ (STO) substrates using conventional pulsed laser deposition (PLD) at a substrate temperature of $550^{\circ}C$. Since generally the crystallographic orientation of the bottom electrode induces the orientation of the films deposited on it, it allows us to observe the influence of the PMN-PT film orientation on the electrical properties. Phi scan done on PMN-PT/LSCO thin films shows epitaxial behavior of the films grown on sto substrates and $CeO_2$/YSZ buffered Si(001) substrates, and (110) texture on Pt/$TiO_2$/Si substrates. Polarization-electricfield (P-E) measurement shows good hysteresis behavior of PMN-PT films with remnant polarization of 18.2, 8.8, and $4.4{\mu}C/cm^2$ on $CeO_2$/YSZ/Si, Pt/TiO2/Si and STO substrates respectively.
