NaEr(WO$_4$)$_2$ is a new laser material. The planar optical waveguide was formed in NaEr(WO$_4$)$_2$ crystal by 2.6 MeV He$^{+}$ ion implantation at doses of 1.0-1.5 $\times$ 10$^{16}$ ions/cm$^2$ at room temperature. The effective refractive indices of the dark modes were measured using the prism coupling method. foul n modes and five TM modes were observed in the waveguide. The refractive index profiles were analyzed using the reflectivity calculation method (RCM). The influence of heat treatment at moderate temperature on the refractive index profiles of the waveguide was also investigated. We used the TRIM'98 (Transport of ton in Matter) code to simulate the damage profile in the NaEr(WO$_4$) crystal by 2.6 MeV He$^{+}$ion implantation which is helpful for a better understanding of the waveguide formation.ion.

High Power and high dose ion implantation is essentially needed to make power MOSFET devices based on SiC wafers, because the diffusivities of the impurities such as Al, N, p, B in SiC crystal are very low. In addition, it is needed high temperature annealing for electrical activation of the implanted species. Due to the very high annealing temperature, the surface morphology after electrical activation annealing becomes very rough. We have found the different surface morphologies between implanted and unimplanted region. The unimplanted region showed smoother surface morphology It implies that the damage induced by high energy ion implantation affects the roughening mechanism. Some parts of Si-C bonding are broken in the damaged layer, s\ulcorner the surface migration and sublimation become easy. Therefore the macrostep formation will be promoted. N-type 4H-SiC wafers, which were Al ion implanted at acceleration energy ranged from 30kev to 360kev, were activated at 1600$^{\circ}C$ for 30min. The pre-activation annealing for damage relaxation was performed at 1100-1500$^{\circ}C$ for 30min. The surface morphologies of pre-activation annealed and activation annealed were characterized by atomic force microscopy(AFM).

고 에너지 (1.5 MeV) 이온 주입된 Boron의 농도와 silicon 기판의 초기 산소 농도의 변화에 따라 silicon기판에 형성된 결정 결함 및 금속 불순물의 Gettering 효율에 대하여 DLTS(Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy), SIMS(Secondary ion Mass Spectroscopy), BMD(Bulk Micro-Defect) analysis 및 TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy)을 이용하여 연구하였다. 이온 주입 전후의 DLTS 결과를 확산로 및 RTA를 이용한 열처리 전후의 DLTS 결과와 비교할 때 이온 주입 전 시편에서 볼 수 있는 공공에 의한 깊은 준위는 열처리 온도의 증가에 따라 금속 불순물과 관련된 깊은 준위로 천이함을 알 수 있다. 또한 고온 열처리의 경우, 초기 산소 농도가 높을수록 깊은 준위의 농도가 감소함을 볼 때 초기 산소 농도가 높을 수록 gettering 효율 측면에서 유리한 것으로 사료된다
