유기금속화학기상증착법으로 적층 InAs/$In_{0.1}Ga_{0.9}As$ DWELL (dot-in-a-well) 구조를 성장하여 n-i-n 구조의 적외선 수광소자를 제작하였으며, PL (photoluminescence) 발광 특성 및 암전류 특성을 분석하였다. 동일한 조건으로 양자점을 적층하였을 때 크기 및 밀도의 변화에 의한 이중 PL peak을 관찰하였으며, TMIn의 유량을 조절함으로써 단일 peak을 갖는 균일한 크기의 양자점 적층 구조를 성장할 수 있었다. 적외선 수광소자 구조를 성장함에 있어서, 상부의 n-형 GaAs의 성장 온도가 600도 이상인 경우 PL 발광 세기가 급격히 감소하였고 이에 따른 암전류의 증가를 관찰하였다. 0.5 V 인가 전압에서 암전류의 온도 의존성에 대한 활성화 에너지의 크기는 성장온도가 580도인 경우 106 meV이고, 650도의 경우는 48 meV로 급격이 낮아졌다. 이는 고온의 성장 온도에 의한 InAs 양자점과 $In_{0.1}Ga_{0.9}As$ 양자우물구조 계면에서의 열적 상호 확산에 의하여 비발광 천이가 증가되었기 때문이다.

The doping of semiconducting elements is essential for the development of silicon quantum dot (QD) solar cells. Especially the doping elements should be activated by substitution at the crystalline sites in the crystalline silicon QDs. However, no analysis technique has been developed for the analysis of the activated dopants in silicon QDs in $SiO_2$ matrix. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is a powerful technique for the in-depth analysis of solid materials and the impurities analysis of boron and phosphorus in semiconductor materials. For the study of diffusion behaviour of B and P by SIMS, Si/$SiO_2$ multilayer films doped by B or P were fabricated and annealed at high temperatures for the activated doping of B and P. The distributions of doping elements were analyzed by SIMS. Boron found to be preferentially distributed in Si layer rather than the $SiO_2$ layer. Especially the B in the Si layers was separated to two components of an interfacial component and a central one. The central component was understood as the activated elements. On the other hand, phosphorus did not show any preferred diffusion.

We introduce a novel and robust method for the preparation of nanocomposite multilayers, which allows the excellent photoluminescent (PL) properties as well as the accurate control over the composition and dimensions of multilayers. By exchanging the oleic acid stabilizers of CdSe@ZnS quantum dots (QDs) synthesized in organic solvent with 2-bromo-2-methylpropionic acid (BMPA) in the same solvent, these nanoparticles were be alternately deposited by nucleophilic substitution reaction with highly branched poly(amidoamine) dendrimer (PAMA) through layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly process. Our approach does not need to be transformed into the water-dispersible nanoparticles with electrostatic or hydrogen-bonding groups, which can deteriorate their inherent properties, for the built-up of multilayers. The nanocomposite multilayers including QDs exhibited the strong PL properties achieving densely packed surface coverage as well as long-term PL stability under atmospheric conditions in comparison with those of conventional LbL multilayers based on electrostatic interaction. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the flexible multilayer films with optical properties can be easily prepared using nucleophilic substitution reaction between bromo and amino groups in organic media. This robust and tailored method opens a new route for the design of functional film devices based on nanocomposite multilayers.

We developed new quantum chemical molecular dynamics and kinetic Monte Carlo programs to simulate the destruction processes of MgO protecting layer in plasma display panel. Our simulation results proposed that MgO(111) surface with nano-dot structures covered by (001) facets has the highest stability, which is against the previous knowledge. The formation of nano-dot structures on the MgO(111) surface covered by (001) facets was found to be the reason for the high stability of the MgO(111) surface. Furthermore, the effect of grain boundary on the stability of MgO surfaces was also clarified.

고출력 레이저 다이오드는 광 디스크, 고체 레이저 여기, 광섬유 증폭기, 레이저 프린터, 위성 간 통신 등의 여러분야에 응용되고 있고. 고효율, 저가격, 초소형등과 같은 장점으로 수요가 점점 증가하고 있다. 최근 레이저 다이오드의 광출력 향상 및 열적 안성성를 위해 양자점(Quantum Dot) 응용에 대해 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 양자점 기반 레이저 다이오드는 전자가 3차원으로 구속되어 있어 열적 안정성이 우수할 뿐만 아니라 낮은 문턱전류밀도로 인해 열 발생이 적어 광출력 감소 현상을 지연시킬 수 있다. 또한 발광면에서의 재결합 확률이 낮아 표면재결합에 의한 신뢰성 열화 문제를 해결할 수 있어 고신뢰성의 레이저 다이오드를 개발할 수 있다. 고출럭 808 nm 양자점 레이저 다이오드 개발을 위해서는 레이저 다이오드의 활성 영역인 양자점 구조에 대한 연구가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 최적화된 고출력 808 nm 양자점 레이저 다이오드 에피 성장을 위해 에피 구조에 대한 2D 시뮬레이션을 수행하였고, 양자점 밀도 및 에피층 변화에 따른 최적 양자점 구조에 대한 연구를 수행하였다.

In this study, the physical and optical properties of $ZnS:Mn^{2+}$ Quantum Dot prepared by wet-process condition with Mn/Zn ratio was valuated. The powder characteristics and optical behavior were investigated through XRD, TEM and Photo spectrometer exicted by various UV light source. We found the main peak of ZnS (111) was shifted by 0.8 degree to low angle position with increasing stirring energy from 200 RPM to 600 RPM, which is thought to be the increase of lattice defects during wet process. The photo luminescence at 600 RPM shows also higher blue intensity which is well correlated with XRD results. With increasing Mn/Zn ratio, the PL intensity become higher and shifed by 8.5nm to right side, by the increment of substitutional $Mn^{2+}$ ions.

Controlled precipitation of quasi-binary semiconductor system is newly proposed as an effective and reliable technique for the formation of well-defined and crystallographically aligned semiconductor nanostructures. Using HgTe-PbTe quasi-binary semiconductor system, self-aligned HgTe nanocrystallites distributed three dimensionally within PbTe matrix were successfully formed by the simple three step heat treatment process routinely found in age hardening process of metallic alloys. Examination of the resulting nano precipitates using conventional transmission electron microscopy (CTEM) and high resolution TEM (HRTEM) reveals that the coherent HgTe precipitates form as thin discs along the (100) habit planes making a crystallographic relation of {100}$\_$HgTe///{100}$\_$PbTe/ and [100]$\_$HgTe///[100]$\_$PbTe/. It is also found that the precipitate undergoes a gradual thickening and a faceting under isothermal aging up to 500 hours without any noticeable coarsening. These results, combined with the extreme dimension of the precipitates (4-5 nm in length and sub-nanometer in thickness) and the simplicity of the formation process, leads to the conclusion that controlled precipitation is an effective method for preparing desirable quantum-dot nanostructures.

Optical properties of InAs/GaAs submonolayer-quantum dot (SML-QD) have been investigated using excitation intensity ($I_{ex}$)- and temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL). At a low temperature (13 K) strong PL was observed at 1.420 eV with a very narrow full-width at half maximum, of 7.09 meV. The results of the $I_{ex}$ dependence show that the PL intensities increase with increasing $I_{ex}$. The enhancement factors (k) of PL increment as a function of $I_{ex}$ are 3.3 and 1.22 at low and high $I_{ex}$ regime, respectively. The high k value at low $I_{ex}$, implies that the activation energy of the SML-QDs is low. The calculated activation energy of the SML-QDs from temperature dependence is 30 meV.

We report highly efficient quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) with TiO₂ nanoparticles (NPs) as an alternative electron transport layer (ETL) and poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) as an insulating layer. TiO₂ NPs were applied as ETLs of inverted structured QLEDs and the effect of the addition of PMMA between ETL and emission layer (EML) on device characteristics was studied in detail. A thin PMMA layer supported to make the charge balance in the EML of QLEDs due to its insulating property, which limits electron injection effectively. Green QLEDs with a PMMA layer produced the maximum luminance of 112,488 cd/m² and a current efficiency of 25.92 cd/A. We expect the extended application of TiO₂ NPs as the electron transport layer in inverted structured QLEDs device in the near future.
