The optical and electrical properties of High Power AlGaAs/AlGaAs Infrared LED with DDH( Double power Double Hetero Junction) structure are investigated. The high power LED is recently studied in order to apply to high speed communication devices. The power out of AlGaAs/AlGaAs with DDH structure is 13.0[mW], the forward voltage is 1.45[V], and the average decrease rate of power out is about 5[%] after aging test. The optical and electrical properties of DDH structure LED are superior than that of SH structured LED. The DDH structured LED is suitable to the high speed communication devices.

최근 들어 나노선을 이용한 pn 접합 소자 연구 결과가 매우 활발하게 보고되고 있다. 그러나, 서로 다른 두 종류의 나노선으로 pn 접합 어레이 구조의 소자를 제작할 때, 나노선을 원하는 위치에 정렬하는 기술상의 어려움이 큰 걸림돌이 된다. 본 연구에서는 p-CNT와 n-$SnO_2$ 나노선을 이용한 pn 접합 어레이 구조를 제작할 수 있는 독창적인 공정기술을 제안한다. 먼저 $SiO_2$가 300 nm 성장된 Si 기판을 선택적으로 패터닝하여 BOE (6:1) 용액으로 $SiO_2$ 층을 80 nm 정도 선택적으로 에칭한 후, 선택적으로 에칭된 표면에 슬라이딩 장비를 이용하여 화학기상증착법(chemical vapor deposition: CVD)으로 성장된 n-$SnO_2$ 나노선을 전이시킨다. 그 다음 thermal tape를 이용하여 CVD 법으로 성장된 랜덤 네트워크 형태의 CNT를 $SnO_2$ 나노선이 전이된 기판 위에 전이 시킨다. 이때 성장된 CNT 필름 중 금속성 나노선을 통한 전하 이동을 감소시키기 위해, 촉매로 사용되는 페리틴의 농도를 낮춰서 전체적인 CNT의 농도를 줄이는 방법을 이용하였다. 따라서, 성장된 CNT 필름은 별도의 후처리 없이 p-형의 반도체성을 보였다. 제작된 pn-소자는 정류비가 ~103 인 정류특성을 보였으며, 254 nm 파장의 UV lamp를 조사하여 광전류가 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 연구결과는 이종의 나노선 접합에 의한 다이오드 응용과 UV 센서응용 가능성을 보여준다.

Bulk hetero junction (BHJ) polymer solar cell (PSCs) is one of the most promising fields as alternative energy source. Especially, the development of new p-type conjugated polymer is one of the main issues to get core technology. In this study, we investigated the chemical doping effects of incorporating 3,6-carbazole units into conjugated polymers based on 2,7-carbazole. We assessed the structural effects of this chemical doping by measuring the photovoltaic device performance of the copolymers with and without annealing. Note that the use of nanostructures in the bulk heterojunction layer could be a major obstacle to commercialization because nano-morphologies are frequently unstable at high temperatures. Therefore, the development of thermally stable polymer:fullerene blends with optimized PCEs is an important goal in this area of research. We studied the morphologies of the copolymers incorporating 3,6-carbazole units resulting from thermal annealing to investigate the effects of the difference between the T g values of the 2,7-carbazole unit and the 3,6-carbazole unit.

It has been a long time since organic solar cells were expected as a low-cost energy-conversion device. Although practical use of them has not been achieved, technological progress continues. Morphology of the materials, organic/inorganic interface, metal cathodes, molecular packing and structural properties of the donor and acceptor layers are essential for photovoltaic response. We have fabricated solar cell devices based on zinc-phthalocyanine(ZnPc) as donor(D) and fullerene$(C_60)$ as electron acceptor(A) with doped charge transport layers, and BCP and $Alq_3$ as an exciton blocking layer(EBL). We have measured the photovoltaic characteristics of the solar cell devices using the Xe lamp as a light source. We were use of $Alq_3$ layer leads to external power conversion efficiency was $2.65\%$ at illumination intensity $100\;mW/cm^2$. Also we confirmed the optimum thickness ratio of the DA hetero-junction is about 1:2.

For the preparation of single-crystalline GaN film, heteroepitaxial growth on a sapphire substrate was carried out by halide vapor phase epitaxy(HVPE) method. The resulting GaN films showed n-type conductivity. The insulator type GaN film was made by doping with Zn(acceptor dopant), which showed emission peaks around 2.64 and 2.43 eV. The result of this study indicates that GaN can be obtained in an epitaxial structure of MIS(metal-insulator-semiconductor) junction. The observed data are regarded as fundamental in developing GaN epitaxial films for light emitting devices of hetero-structure type.

Zinc-oxide films were deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique using doped ZnO target (mixed $In_2O_3$ 0.1, 0.3, 0.6 at. % - atomic percentage) on the p-type Si(111) substrate. A little Indium has added at the n-ZnO films for the electron concentration control and enhanced the electrical properties. Also, post thermal annealed ZnO films are shown an enhanced structural and controled electron concentration by the annealing condition for the hetero junction diode of a better emitting characteristics. The electrical and the diode characteristics of the ZnO films were investigated by using Hall effect measurement and current-voltage measurement.

ZnO films doped with different contents of indium ($0.1{\sim}10$ at.%) were deposited on Si (111) substrate by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD). The structural, electrical and optical properties of the films were investigated using XRD, AFM, Hall and PL measurement. Results showed that un-doped ZnO film had (002) plane as the c-axis orientated growth, whereas indium doped ZnO films exhibited the peak of (002) and the weak (101) plane. In addition, in the indium doped ZnO films, the electron concentration is ten times higher than that of un-doped ZnO film, while the resistivity is ten times lower than that of un-doped ZnO film. The indium doped ZnO films have UV emission about 380 nm and show a red shift with increasing contents of indium. The I-V curve of the fabricated diode show the typical diode characteristics and have the turn on voltage of about 2 V.

In this study, we have investigated the power conversion efficiency of organic solar cells utilizing conjugated polymer/fullerene bulk-hetero junction(BHJ) device structures. We have fabricated poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT), poly[2methoxy-5-(3',7'-dimethyloctyl-oxy)-1-4-phenylenevinylene] as an electron donor, [6,6]-phenyl $C_{61}$ butyric acid methylester(PCBM-$C_{61}$)as an electron acceptor, and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate)(PEDOT:PSS) used as a hole injection layer(HIL), after fabricated active layer, between active layer and metal cathode(Al) deposited LiF interlayer(5 nm). The properties of fabricated organic solar cell(OSC) devices have been analyzed as a function of different thickness. The electrical characteristics of the fabricated devices were investigated by means J-V, fill factor(FF) and power conversion efficiency(PCE). We observed the highest PCEs of 0.628%(MDMO-PPV:PCBM-$C_{61}$) and 2.3%(P3HT:PCBM-$C_{61}$) with LiF inter-layer at the highest thick active layer, which is 1.3times better than the device without LiF inter-layer.

We fabricated SiGe BiCMOS devices, which are important for ultra high speed RF IC chips, by employing $0.35\mu{m}$ CMOS process. To meet with the requirement of low noise level with linear base leakage current at low VBE region, we try to minimize polysilicon/ silicon interface traps by optimizing capping silicon thickness and EDR(emitter drive-in RTA) temperature. We employed $200\AA$and $300\AA$-thick capping silicon, and varied the EDR process condition at temperature of $900-1000^\circ{C}$, and time of 0-30 sec at a given capping silicon thickness. We investigated current gain behavior at each process condition. We suggest that optimum EDR process condition would be $975^\circ{C}$-30 sec with $300\AA$-thick capping silicon for proposed $0.35\mu{m}$-SiGe HBT devices.

생명체의 근육을 구성하는 근섬유와 마찬가지로 나노선 구동기는 불규칙적으로 엉켜있는 나노선들의 집합으로 이루어져 있으며, 기존의 강유전체에 기반을 둔 구동기에 비해 낮은 구동전압과 높은 일률을 가진다. 대표적인 나노선인 MWCNTs(Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubs)와 $V_2O_5$ 나노선을 이용한 구동기는 이미 각각 시현된 바 있으나, 이 둘의 이종접합을 통한 구동기는 아직까지 보고되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 탄소나노튜브와 $V_2O_5$의 이종접합을 통해 필름 형태의 구동기를 구현하여 각각의 나노선 만을 이용했을 때보다 월등한 성능을 보여주는 구동기를 구현하였다. 향후 실용화 가능성을 염두에 두어, 보다 강건하고 최적화된 나노선 sheet의 합성과 구동기의 구조적 향상이 이루어진다면 그동안 알려진 그 어떤 물질보다도 우수한 구동특성을 보여줄 것이라 예상된다.
