$TiO_2$ anatase nanotube arrays (NTAs) were grown by electrochemical anodization and followed annealing of Ti foil. Ethylene glycol/$NH_4F$-based organic electrolyte was used for electrolyte solution and using second anodization process to obtain free-standing NTAs. After obtaining NTAs, ITO film was deposited by sputtering process on bottom of NTAs. UV-curable NOA was used for attach free-standing NTAs on flexible plastic substrate (PEN). Solid state electrolyte (spiro-OMeTAD) was coated via spin-coating method on top of attached NTAs. Ag was deposited as a counter electrode. Under AM 1.5 simulated sunlight, optical characteristics of devices were investigated. In order to use flexible polymer substrate, processes have to be conducted at low temperature. In case of $TiO_2$ nano particles (NPs), however, crystallization of NPs at high temperature above $450^{\circ}C$ is required. Because NTAs were conducted high temperature annealing process before NTAs transfer to PEN, it is favorable for using PEN as flexible substrate. Fabricated flexible solid-state DSSCs make possible the preventing of liquid electrolyte corrosion and leakage, various application.

실리콘산화막에 실리콘이온주입을 $5\times1016/\textrm{cm}^2, 1\times10^{17}/\textrm{cm}^2, 3\times10^{17}/\textrm{cm}^2$으로 하여 열처리온도와 열처리시간을 변화시키면서 광루미니센스, XRD, TEM을 관찰하였다. 이온주 입량이 적고 열처리온도가 낮을경우에 가시광 광루미니센스를 관찰할 수 있었다. 광루미니 센스의 peak는 7420$\AA$과 8360$\AA$위치에 있었으며, 열처리시간이 길어짐에 따라 intensity는 각각 증가하였다. 이온주입량이 많고 열처리온도가 높을경우에는 광루미니센스가 관찰되지 않았다. 이온주입량이 적고 열처리 온도가 높을경우에는 열처리시간이 짧으면 가시광 광루 미니센스가 있으나 열처리시간이 1시간 이상으로 길어지면 광루미니센스가 사라졌다. XRD 와 TEM결과로부터 실리콘 cluster는 nonradiative defect와 관련있으며, 실리콘이온주입된 실리콘산화막에서 관찰되는 광루미니센스의 origin은 nanocrystal이 아니라 defect임을 알 수 있었다. 이온주입되는 실리콘이온의 량, 열처리온도와 시간의 변화는 광루미니센스를 변 화시키는데 이 현상들을 Si-O-O결합인 O위주의 결함과 Si-Si-O결합인 Si위주의 결함과 연 관지어 설명할 수 있었다.

Electrical properties of metal-ferroelectric-semiconductor field effect transistor(MFSFET) using $BaMgF_4$ thin films grown on p-Si(100) substrates have been investigated. $BaMgF_4$ thin films have been directly deposited on the p-Si(100) wafers at a low temperature of $300^{\circ}C$ in an ultra high vacuum(UHV) system. First an in-situ post-deposition annealing was conducted for 20s at $650^{\circ}C$ and second an in-situ post-annealing was conducted for 10s at $950^{\circ}C$. The electrical properties of MFSFET compared with using A1 and Pt electrodes.

For high-performance TFT (Thin film transistor), poly-crystalline semiconductor thin film with low resistivity and high hall carrier mobility is necessary. But, conventional SPC (Solid phase crystallization) process has disadvantages in fabrication such as long annealing time in high temperature or using very expensive Excimer laser. On the contrary, MIC (Metal-induced crystallization) process enables semiconductor thin film crystallization at lower temperature in short annealing time. But, it has been known that the poly-crystalline semiconductor thin film fabricated by MIC methods, has low hall mobility due to the residual metals after crystallization process. In this study, Ni metal was shallow implanted using PIII&D (Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation & Deposition) technique instead of depositing Ni layer to reduce the Ni contamination after annealing. In addition, the effect of external magnetic field during annealing was studied to enhance the amorphous silicon thin film crystallization process. Various thin film analytical techniques such as XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), Raman spectroscopy, and XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy), Hall mobility measurement system were used to investigate the structure and composition of silicon thin film samples.

Thermal treatment dependences of MFS devices in $BaMgF_4$ on Si structures have been investigated. $BaMgF_4$ thin films have been directly deposited on the p-Si(100) wafers at a low temperature of $300^{\circ}$ in an ultra high vacuum(UHV) system. After in-situ post-deposition annealing was conducted for 20 s at $650^{\circ}$, bias and temperature were applied to $BaMgF_4/Si$ structures. Although X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the films were polycrystalline in nature before and after bias temperature, the C-V properties were some different between with and without bias-temperature treatment.

ZnO is a promising material since it could be applied to many fields such as solar cells, laser diodes, thin films transistors and gas sensors. ZnO has a wide and direct band gap for about 3.37 eV at room temperature and a high exciton binding energy of 60 meV. In particular, ZnO features high sensitivity to toxic and combustible gas such as CO, NOX, so on. The development of gas sensors to monitor the toxic and combustible gases is imperative due to the concerns for enviromental pollution and the safety requirements for the industry. In this study, we investigated the effect of substrate temperature and post-annealing on structural and electrical properties of ZnO thin films. ZnO thin films were deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) at various temperatures at from room temperature to $600^{\circ}C$. After that, post-annealing were performed at $600^{\circ}C$. To inspect the structural properties of the deposited ZnO thin films, X-ray diffraction (XRD) was carried out. For gas sensors, the morphology of the films is dominant factor since it is deeply related with the film surface area. Therefore, the atomic force microscopy (AFM) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) were used to observe the surface of the ZnO thin films. Furthermore, we analyzed the electrical properties by using a Hall measurement system.

N형 InGaAs에 대한 Pd/Ge/Pd/Ti/Au 오믹 접촉의 급속 열처리 조건에 따른 오믹 특성을 조사하였다. $450^{\circ}C$까지의 열처리에 의해 우수한 오믹 특성을 나타내어 $400^{\circ}C$/10초의 급속 열처리 후에 최저 $1.1\times10^{-6}\Omega\textrm{cm}^2$의 접촉 비저항을 나타내었다. $425^{\circ}C$ 이상의 열처리 후에 접촉 비저항이 점점 증가하여 $450^{\circ}C$에서는 오믹 재료와 InGaAs의 반응에 의해 오믹 특성의 열화가 나타났다. 그러나 high-$10^{-6}\Omega\textrm{cm}^2$ 정도의 비교적 우수한 오믹 특성을 유지하였고, 양호한 표면 및 계면이 얻어져 화합물 반도체 소자에의 응용 가능성이 충분한 것으로 판단된다.

Today, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of hydrocarbon gases has been demonstrated as an attractive method to synthesize large-area graphene layers. However, special care should be taken to precisely control the resulting graphene layers in CVD due to its sensitivity to various process parameters. Therefore, a facile synthesis to grow graphene layers with high controllability will have great advantages for scalable practical applications. In order to simplify and create efficiency in graphene synthesis, the graphene growth by thermal annealing process has been discussed by several groups. However, the study on growth mechanism and the detailed structural and optoelectronic properties in the resulting graphene films have not been reported yet, which will be of particular interest to explore for the practical application of graphene. In this study, we report the growth of few-layer, large-area graphene films using rapid thermal annealing (RTA) without the use of intentional carbon-containing precursor. The instability of nickel films in air facilitates the spontaneous formation of ultrathin (<2~3 nm) carbon- and oxygen-containing compounds on a nickel surface and high-temperature annealing of the nickel samples results in the formation of few-layer graphene films with high crystallinity. From annealing temperature and ambient studies during RTA, it was found that the evaporation of oxygen atoms from the surface is the dominant factor affecting the formation of graphene films. The thickness of the graphene layers is strongly dependent on the RTA temperature and time and the resulting films have a limited thickness less than 2 nm even for an extended RTA time. The transferred films have a low sheet resistance of ~380 ${\Omega}/sq$, with ~93% optical transparency. This simple and potentially inexpensive method of synthesizing novel 2-dimensional carbon films offers a wide choice of graphene films for various potential applications.

The effect of annealing temperature on the permeability and giant magneto-impedance (GMI) behaviors of $Fe_{68.5}Mn_{5}Si_{13.5}B_9Nb_3Cu_1$ amorphous alloy has been systematically investigated. The nanocrystalline $Fe_{68.5}Mn_{5}Si_{13.5}B_9Nb_3Cu_1$ alloys consisting of ultra-fine $(Fe,Mn)_3Si$ grains embedded in an amorphous matrix were obtained by annealing their precursor alloy at the temperature range from $500^{\circ}C\;to\;600^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour in vacuum. The permeability and GMI profiles were measured as a function of external magnetic field. It was found that the increase of both the permeability and the GMI effect with increasing annealing temperature up to $535^{\circ}C$ was observed and ascribed to the ultrasoft magnetic properties in the sample, whereas an opposite tendency was found when annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ which is due to the microstructural changes caused by high-temperature annealing. The study of temperature dependence on the permeability and GMI effect showed some insights into the nature of the magnetic exchange coupling between nanocrystallized grains through the amorphous boundaries in nanocrystalline magnetic materials.

스퍼터로 성장시킨 $n-ZnO:Al(3\times10^{18}\textrm{cm}^{-3})$ 박막에 Ru 금속 박막을 이용하여 열적으로 안정하며 낮은 저항을 가지는 오믹 접촉을 제작하였다. 상온에서 $2.1{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}\textrm{cm}^2$의 비접촉 저항을 보이던 Ru 오믹 접촉은 열처리 온도를 증가시킴에 따라 I-V특성이 향상되었고 특히 $700^{\circ}C$에서 1분 동안 열처리 할 경우 $3.2{\times}10^{-5}}{\Omega}\textrm{cm}^2$의 낮은 비접촉 저항을 나타내었다. 또한 Ru 오믹 접촉 시스템은 고온에서도 안정한 특성을 나타내었는데 $700^{\circ}C$에서의 고온 열처리 후에도 1.4 nm의 아주 낮은 rms 거칠기를 갖는 평탄한 표면을 나타내었다. 이와 같이 낮은 비접촉 저항과 열적 안정성은 Ru 오믹 접촉 시스템이 ZnO를 근간으로 하는 고성능의 광소자 및 고온소자에 적합한 오믹 접촉 시스템이라는 것을 말해준다. 또한 Ru 오믹 접촉의 비접촉 저항의 열처리 온도 의존성을 설명할 수 있는 메카니즘을 제시하였다.
