ZnO/n-Si junctions were fabricated by spin coating with ZnO precursor produced by the sol-gel process. In order to increase the electrical conductivity of ZnO films, the films were n-doped with Al impurity and subsequently annealed at about $450^{\circ}C$ under reducing environments. The ohmic contacts between n-Si and AI for a bottom electrode were successfully fabricated by doping the rear surface of Si substrate with phosphorous atoms. The front surface of the substrate was also doped with phosphorous atoms for improving the efficiency of the solar cells. Consequently, conversion efficiencies ranging up to about 5.3% were obtained. These efficiencies were found to decrease slowly with time because of the oxide films formed at the ZnO/Si interface upon oxygen penetration through the porous ZnO. Oxygen barrier layers could be necessary in order to prevent the reduction of conversion efficiencies.

For feasible study of opto-electrical application regarding to oxide semiconductor, we implemented the N doped ZnO growth using a atomic layer deposition technique. The p-type ZnO deposition, necessary for ZnO-based optoelectronics, has considered to be very difficulty due to sufficiently deep acceptor location and self-compensating process on doping. Various sources of N such as $N_2$, $NH_3$, NO, and $NO_2$ and deposition techniques have been used to fabricate p-type ZnO. Hall measurement showed that p-type ZnO was prepared in condition with low deposition temperature and dopant concentration. From the evaluation of photoluminescence spectroscopy, we could observe defect formation formed by N dopant. In this paper, we exhibited the electrical and optical properties of N-doped ZnO thin films grown by atomic layer deposition with $NH_3OH$ doping source.

First-principles calculations based on spin density functional theory are performed to study the spin-resolved electronic properties of AlN doped with a Cu concentration of 6.25%-18.75%. The ferromagnetic state is more energetically favorable state than the antiferromagnetic state or the nonmagnetic state. For $Al_{0.9375}Cu_{0.0625}N$, a global magnetic moment of 1.26 mB per supercell, with a localized magnetic moment of 0.75 $m_B$ per Cu atom is found. The magnetic moment is reduced due to an increase in the number of Cu atoms occupying adjacent cation lattice position. For $Al_{0.8125}Cu_{0.1875}N$, the magnetism of the supercell disappears by the interaction of the neighboring Cu atoms. The nonmagnetic to ferromagnetic phase transition is found to occur at this Cu concentration. The range of concentrations that are spin-polarized should be restricted within very narrow.

We made attempts to improve photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles under visible light exposure by combining two additional treatments. N-doping of $TiO_2$ by ammonia gas treatment at $600^{\circ}C$ increased absorbance of visible light. By coating thin film of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and subsequent vacuum-annealing at $800^{\circ}C$, $TiO_2$, became more hydrophilic, thereby enhancing photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$. Four types of $TiO_2$ samples were prepared, bare-$TiO_2$, hydrophilic-modified $TiO_2$ ($h-PDMS/TiO_2$), N-doped $TiO_2$ ($N/TiO_2$) and hydrophilic-modified and N-doped $TiO_2$ ($h-PDMS/N/TiO_2$). Adsorption capability was evaluated under dark condition and photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$ was evaluated by photodegradation of MB under blue LED (400 nm< ${\lambda}$) irradiation. N-doping on $TiO_2$ was characterized using XPS and hydrophilic modification of $TiO_2$ surface was analyzed by FT-IR spectrometer. It was found that N-doping and hydrophilic modification both had positive effect on enhancing adsorption capability and photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$ at the same time. Particularly, N-doping enhanced visible light absorption of $TiO_2$, whereas hydrophilic surface modification increased MB adsorption capacity. By combining these two strategies, photocatalytic acitivity under visible light irradiation became the sum of individual effects of N-doping and hydrophilic modification.

Impurities transmuted in GaN thin film and GaN nanowires after neutron irradiation are studied in this work. The structural properties of GaN nanowires were shown using by Transmission Electron Microscope(TEM). Transmuted impurities that are expected to be doped into GaN thin film and GaN nanowires are then confirmed by photoluminescence(PL). Transmuted atom in GaN materials is Ge atom, Ge-related peaks in GaN thin film lead to emit at 2.9eV, 2.25eV. But emission bands at 2.9eV, 2.25eV are not shown in PL spectra of GaN nanowires. Our experimental results are expected to give deep impact on nano-material doping technology for the achievement of the fabrication of nano-devices.

Aluminum nitride (AlN), as a substrate material in electronic packaging, has attracted considerable attention over the last few decades because of its excellent properties, which include high thermal conductivity, a coefficient of thermal expansion that matches well with that of silicon, and a moderately low dielectric constant. AlN films with c-axis orientation and thermal conductivity characteristics were deposited by using Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD). The epitaxial AlN films were grown on sapphire (c-Al₂O₃) single crystals by PLD with AlN target and Y₂O₃ doped AlN target. A comparison of different targets associated with AlN films deposited by PLD was presented with particular emphasis on thermal conductivity properties. The quality of AlN films was found to strongly depend on the growth temperature that was exerted during deposition. AlN thin films deposited using Y₂O₃-AlN targets doped with sintering additives showed relatively higher thermal conductivity than while using pure AlN targets. AlN thin films deposited at 600℃ were confirmed to have highly c-axis orientation and thermal conductivity of 39.413 W/mK.

In this research, properties of $N_2$-doped $Sb_2Te_3$ thin film were evaluated using 4-point probe, XRD and AFM. $Sb_2Te_3$ material has faster crystallization rate than $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$, but sheet resistance difference between amorphous and crystallization state is very low. This low sheet resistance difference decreases sensing margin in reading operation at PRAM device operation. Therefore, in order to overcome this weak point, $N_2$ gas was doped on $Sb_2Te_3$ thin film. Sheet resistance difference between amorphous and crystallized state of $N_2$-doped $Sb_2Te_3$ thin film showed about $10^4$ times higher than Un-doped $Sb_2Te_3$ thin film because of the grain boundary scattering.

An optimal wideband gain flattened hybrid erbium-doped fiber amplifier/fiber Raman amplifier (EDFA/FRA) has been introduced. A new and effective optimization method called particle swarm optimization (PSO) is employed to find the optimized parameters of the EDFA/FRA. Numerous parameters which are the parameters of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) and the fiber Raman amplifier (FRA) define the gain spectrum of a hybrid EDFA/FRA. Here, we optimize the length, $Er^{3+}$ concentration, and pump power and wavelength of the EDFA and also pump powers and wavelengths of the FRA to obtain the flattest operating gain spectrum. Hybrid EDFA/FRA with 6-pumped- and 10-pumped-FRAs have been studied. Gain spectrum variations are 1.392 and 1.043 dB for the 6-pumped- and 10-pumped-FRAs, respectively, in the 108.5 km hybrid EDFA/FRAs, with 1 mW of input signal powers. Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) system with 60 signal channels in the wavelength range of 1529.2-1627.1 nm, i.e. the wide bandwidth of 98 nm, is studied. In this work, we have added FRA's pump wavelengths to the optimization parameters to obtain better results in comparison with the results presented in our previous works.

마스크를 사용하지 않고 레이저 $(CW Ar^+$ laser, $\lambda=514.5nm)$ 광속을 이용하여 불산 용액이 첨가된 황산구리 전해질 용액내의 실리콘(Si, 100) 단결정 표면에 구리를 침착시켰으며, 이들 사이에서 일어나는 화학 반응식을 도금에서와 같이 양극 반응과 음극 반응으로 구분 하여 제안하였다. 또한 침착 되는 구리점의 직경을 전해질 용액에 첨가되는 불산용액의 양, 레이저 광속의 조사 시간과 관속의 세기에 따라 측정 분석하였다. p형 실리콘 단결정의 경우, 연속형 $Ar^+$ 레이저를 조사하였을때 구리 침착이 일어나고 펄스형 레이저 광속(Nd:YAG 레이저에 KDP결정을 사용하여 얻은 2차 고조파, $\lambda=530nm, $\tau=25nsce$)을 조사하였을 경우에는 침착이 일어나지 않았다. 그와는 반대로 n형 실리콘 단결정의 경우, 연속형 $Ar^+$ 레이저를 조사하였을 때는 구리 침착이 일어나지 않았으나, 펄스형 레이저 광속을 조사시켰을 경우에는 구리 침착이 일어남을 관찰하였다.
