We propose a new method which can extract the information about the electronic traps in the semi-insulating GaN buffer of AlGaN/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistors (HFETs) using a simple test structure. The proposed method has a merit in the easiness of fabricating the test structure. Moreover, the electric fields inside the test structure are very similar to those inside the actual transistor, so that we can extract the information of bulk traps which directly affect the current collapse behaviors of AlGaN/GaN HEFTs. By applying the proposed method to the GaN buffer structures with various unintentionally doped GaN channel thicknesses, we conclude that the incorporated carbon into the GaN back barrier layer is the dominant origin of the bulk trap which affects the current collapse behaviors of AlGaN/GaN HEFTs.

Titania has become the most applicable material for photocatalytic application. Nevertheless, titania has the weak point in its wide band gap energy that is mainly activated by UV irradiation. There have been vast research challenges in order to make the wide band gap energy of titania narrow that could be activated in the presence of visible light. Various modifications of titania surface were popular because titania needs to change its surface to respond in visible light. Among the methodological approaches, N-doping to titania can be the alternative candidate because it is facile process and eco-friendly. The activated electron from valence band in N-doped $TiO_2$ migrates to conduction band in the presence of visible light irradiation, which shows photocatalytic activity as well. In this study, focused on the evaluation of nitrogen state after N-doping through brief review. Arguments are still existed in nitrogen states and their different effects on photocatalytic activity. In particular, two nitrogen states are generally reported; substitutional and interstitial states. The research articles regarding N-doped $TiO_2$ are continuously appearing because the potential application of water split in visible light is still fascinate. The future of N-doped $TiO_2$ is also presented by referrals based on various literature.

We have successfully grown Cl-doped ZnSe epitaxial layers on GaAs(100) sub-strates by HWE using $ZnCl_2$ as a doping source. The Cl-doped ZnSe layers showed mirrorlike morphology and good crystallinity. It has been found that the layer exhibited an n-type conduction with low resistivity. The carrier concentration is, obtained about $10^{16}\textrm {cm}^{-3}$, where a resistivity reached 10 $\Omega \textrm {cm}$. The layer with an appropriate doping level exhibited blue photoluminescence at room temperature. The strong blue PL was obtained at the hall mobility of $100^2\textrm {cm}$/Vㆍsec.

The effect of fluorine ions, which can be reacted with boron in high-doped BPSG, is investigated on the contact sidewall wiggling profile in semiconductor process. In the semiconductor device, there are many contacts on $p^+/n^+$ source and drain region. However these types of wiggling profile is only observed at the $n^+$ contact region. As a result, we find that the type of plug implantation dopant can affect the sidewall wiggling profile of contact. By optimizing the proper fluorine gas flow rate, both the straight sidewall profile and the desired electrical characteristics can be obtained. In this paper, we propose a fundamental approach to improve the contact sidewall wiggling profile phenomena, which mostly appear in high-doped BPSG on next-generation DRAM products.

Interfacil charge approximations and structures at doped semiconductor interfaces were proposed. Rectifying phenomena at the III-V compound semiconductor (p-GaP, p-InP, n-GaAs)/$CsNO_3$ aqueous electrolyte interfaces were qualitatively analyzed in terms of their cyclic current-voltage characteristics. The current-voltage characteristic curves, the ion adsorption and potential barrier processes at the semiconductor interfaces were verified using continuous cyclic voltammetric methods. The pn or np junction structures and the related rectifying types at the doped semi-condudtor-electrolyte inferfaces are determined by the space charges.

The DC current variation of calcia doped zirconia single crystal was measured under various oxygen containing gases at high temperatures. The DC current was influenced by the gas species for oxygen activity establishment. Also, strong non-ohmic characteristics were observed in the $CO/CO_2/N_2$ gas mixtures. Based on the experimental data obtained by introducing the non-buffering gas $N_2$ into the $CO/CO_2$ mixtures, the processes occurring at the gas/solid interface during a defect relaxation process are discussed.

Phosphorus doped ZnO (PZO) thin films were deposited on $SiO_2$/n-Si substrates using DC magnetron sputtering system varying oxygen partial pressures from 0 to 40 % under Ar atmosphere. The deposited films showed reduced n-type conductivity due to the compensating donor effects by phosphorus dopant. The bias-time stability shows relatively good stability over bias and time comparing to un-doped ZnO-based TFTs.

The electrochemical oxidation of ascorbic acid(AA), serotonin(SE) and epinephrine(EP) have been performed at poly N,N-dimethylaniline(PDMA) film coated diamond electrode. This cationic polymer film is electrochemically deposited on boron-doped diamond electrode surface. Unlike the bard electrode, the polymer film-coated diamond electrode can well separate the oxidation potential of AA by 200mV. Thus this electrode can be successfully used for the simultaneoud detection of both species. Increases in the concentration of AA do not affect the reponse of EP and SE.

Zinc Oxide (ZnO)는 wurtzite 결정구조를 가지고 있으며, 밴드갭 에너지가 약 3.4eV인 산화물 반도체 이다. GaN가 도핑된 ZnO 박막을 Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) 법을 이용하여 사파이어 기판과 실리콘 기판에 각각 증착하였다. $500^{\circ}C$의 증착온도에서 1at%~10at%까지의 GaN 도핑농도에 따른 ZnO 박막의 결정성, 성분 분석을 비롯한 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. 첨가된 GaN의 농도에 따라 ZnO 박막의 결정성이 변화하였으며, 농도 변화에 상관없이 ZnO(002) 방향으로 성장함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 실리콘 기판에 증착한 GaN-doped ZnO 박막은 5at%에서 $9.3\;{\times}\;10-3{\Omega}cm$, 10at%에서 $9.2\;{\times}\;10-3{\Omega}cm$의 비저항 값을 가지며 각각 p-type 특성을 나타내었다.
