Porous silicon (PS) was prepared by electrochemical anodization. Ultra-thin zinc oxide (ZnO) capping layers were deposited on the PS by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PA-MBE). The effects of the ZnO capping layers on the properties of the as-prepared PS were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence (PL). The as-prepared PS has circular pores over the entire surface. Its structure is similar to a sponge where the quantum confinement effect (QCE) plays a fundamental role. It was found that the dominant red emission of the porous silicon was tuned to white light emission by simple deposition of the ultra-thin ZnO capping layers. Specifically, the intensity of white light emission was observed to be enhanced by increasing the growth time from 1 to 3 min.

We report the structural characterization of $Bi_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin films grown on c-plane sapphire substrates by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. By increasing the Bi flux during the growth process, $Bi_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin films with various Bi contents (x = 0~13.17 atomic %) were prepared. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements revealed the formation of Bi-oxide phase in (Bi)ZnO after increasing the Bi content. However, it was impossible to determine whether the formed Bi-oxide phase was the monoclinic structure ${\alpha}-Bi_2O_3$ or the tetragonal structure ${\beta}-Bi_2O_3$ by means of XRD ${\theta}-2{\theta}$ measurements, as the observed diffraction peaks of the $2{\theta}$ value at ~28 were very close to reflection of the (012) plane for the monoclinic structure ${\alpha}-Bi_2O_3$ at 28.064 and the reflection of the (201) plane for the tetragonal structure ${\beta}-Bi_2O_3$ at 27.946. By means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) using a diffraction pattern analysis and a high-resolution lattice image, it was finally determined as the monoclinic structure ${\alpha}-Bi_2O_3$ phase. To investigate the distribution of the Bi and Bi-oxide phases in BiZnO films, elemental mapping using energy dispersive spectroscopy equipped with TEM was performed. Considering both the XRD and the elemental mapping results, it was concluded that hexagonal-structure wurtzite $Bi_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin films were grown at a low Bi content (x = ~2.37 atomic %) without the formation of ${\alpha}-Bi_2O_3$. However, the increased Bi content (x = 4.63~13.17 atomic %) resulted in the formation of the ${\alpha}-Bi_2O_3$ phase in the wurtzite (Bi)ZnO matrix.

Si (100) 기판위에서 에피텍셜하게 자란 CoSi$_2$층은 우수한 열적안정성, 낮은 junction leakage, ultra-Shallow junction형성 등의 장점으로 인하여 많은 주목을 받아왔다. 그래서 에피텍셜 CoSi$_2$층을 형성하기 위한 많은 방법들이 보고되어 왔다. 그 방법으로는 Ti나 TiN층을 이용한 interlayer mediated epitaxy, Co의 제한적 공급을 통한 molecular beam epitaxy와 molecular beam allotaxy, 그리고 금속유기소스를 이용한 반응성화학기상증착법등이 있다. 하지만 이 방법들은 복잡한 증착공정과 열처리 후 잔류층 제거의 어려움등을 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 일반적으로 사용되는 Ti나 oxide의 중간층없이 에피층을 형성시키는 새로운 방법으로 CO-O-N 박막으로부터 열처리에 의해 확산된 Co로부터 CoSi$_2$에피층을 형성시켰다.

The epitaxial growth of $CeO_2$ films has been investigated on three different substrates-Si(111), $SrTiO_3$(001), and MgO(001)-over wide range of growth parameters using oxygen-plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. Pure-phase, single-crystalline epitaxial films of $CeO_2$ (001) have been grown only on $SrTiO_3$(001). We discuss the growth conditions in conjunction with the choice of substrates required to synthe-size this oxide, as well as the associated characterization by menas of x-ray diffraction, reflection high-energy electron diffraction, low-energy electron diffraction, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and diffraction. Successful growth of single crystalline $CeO_2$ depends critically on the choice of substrate and is rather insensitive to the growth conditions studied in this investigation. $CeO_2$(001) films on $SrTiO_3$exhibit the sturcture of bulk $CeO_2$ without surface reconstructions. Ti outdiffusion is observed on the films grown temperatures above $650^{\circ}C$.

Tin Oxide(SnO2) has been widely investigated as a transparent conducting oxide (TCO) and can be used in optoelectronic devices such as solar cell and flat-panel displays. It would be applicable to fabricating the wide bandgap semiconductor because of its bandgap of 3.6 eV. In addition, SnO2 is commonly used as gas sensors. To fabricate high quality epitaxial SnO2 thin films, a powder sputtering method was used, in contrast to typical sputtering technique with sintered target. Single crystalline sapphire(0001) substrates were used. The samples were prepared with varying the growth parameters such as gas environment and film thickness. Then, the samples were characterized by using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy measurements. We found that the strain evolution of the samples was highly affected by gas environment and growth rate, resulted in the delamination under O2 environment.

Ozone is ambient gas which is useful for the fabrication of metal oxide thin films under conditions of molecular beam epitaxy. Ozone is condensed by the adsorption method and its concentration is analyzed using the thermal decomposition method. The concentration of ozone exceeds 90 mol% and ozone is supplied for a sufficiently long time to grow oxide thin films. The ozone concentration is also evaluated using a quadrupole mass analyzer and the accuracy of this method is compared with the results of the thermal decomposition method.

최근 셀리사이드(salicide) 제조시 $COSiO_2$의 에피텍셜 성장을 돕기 위하여 Ti층을 삽 입한 Co/Ti/Si 이중층 구조의 실리사이드화가 관심을 끌고 있다. Co/Ti 이중층을 이용한 salicide 트랜지스터가 성공적으로 만들어지기 위해서는 gate 주위의 spacer oxide위에 증착 된 Co/Ti 이중층을 급속열처리할 때 Co/Ti와 $SiO_2$간의 계면에서의 상호반응에 대하여 조사 하였다. Co/Ti 이중층은 $600^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 후 면저항이 급격하게 증가하기 시작하였는데, 이것은 Co층이 $SiO_2$와의 계면에너지를 줄이기 위하여 응집되기 때문이다. 이때 Co/Ti의 열 처리후 Ti에 의하여 $SiO_2$기판의 일부가 분해됨으로써 절연체의 Ti산화물이 형성되었으나, 이외의 도전성 반응부산물은 발견되지 않았다.

최근 CMOS(Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) 능동소자에 사용되는 MOS-FET (Metal Oxide Semiconductror Field Effect Transitror)의 전체적인 크기 감소추세에 따라 금속 전극과 반도체 사이의 절연층 두께 감소가 요구되고 있다. 현재 보편적으로 사용되고 있는 SiO$_2$층은 두께 감소에 따른 터널링 전류의 증가로 더 이상의 두께 감소를 기대하기 어려운 상태이다. 이러한 배경에서 최근 터널링 전류를 충분히 감소시키면서 요구되는 절연특성을 얻을 수 있는 새로운 고유전 물질 (high-k dielectric material)에 대한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 현재까지 연구되어온 고유전 물질 중, 고유전 상수, 큰 밴드갭, Si과의 열적 안정성을 갖는 물질로 ZrO$_2$가 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Metal Organic Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MOMBE) 방법을 이용한 ZrO$_2$ 층의 성장조건 및 특성을 평가하고자 한다.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocrystalline thin films on various growth temperatures for active layer and different buffer layer thickness were grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PA-MBE) on Si substrates. The ZnO active layer were grown with various growth temperature from 500 to $800^{\circ}C$ and the ZnO buffer layer were grown for different time from 5 to 40 minutes. To investigate the structural and optical properties of the ZnO thin films, scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy were used, respectively. In the SEM images, the ZnO thin films have high densification of grains and good roughness and uniformity at $800^{\circ}C$ for active layer growth temperature and 20 minutes for buffer layer growth time, respectively. The PL spectra of ZnO buffer layers and active layers display sharp near band edge (NBE) emissions in UV range and broad deep level emissions (DLE) in visible range. The intensity of NBE peaks for the ZnO thin films significantly increase with increase in the active layer growth temperature. In addition, the NBE peak at 20 minutes for buffer layer growth time has the largest emission intensity and the intensity of DLE peaks decrease with increase in the growth time.
