In this study, we investigated that the resistance switching characteristics of W-doped NbOx films with increasing W doping concentration. The W-doped NbOx based ReRAM devices with a TiN/W-doped NbOx/Pt/Ti/SiO2 were fabricated on Si substrates. The 50 nm thick W-doped NbOx films were deposited by reactive dc magnetron co-sputtering at $400^{\circ}C$ and oxygen partial pressure of 35%. Micro-structure of W-doped NbOx films and atomic concentration were investigated by XRD, TEM and XPS, respectively. The W-doped NbOx films showed set/reset resistance switching behavior at various W doping concentrations. The process voltage of set/reset is decreased and whereas the initial current level is increased with increasing W doping concentration in NbOx films. The change of resistance switching behavior depending on doping concentration was discussed in terms of concentration of metallic tungsten of oxygen of W-doped NbOx.

Tungsten-nitrogen (W-N) co-doping has been known to enhance the photocatalytic activity of anatase titania nanoparticles by utilizing visible light. The doping effects are, however, largely dependent on calcination or annealing conditions, and thus, the massive production of quality-controlled photocatalysts still remains a challenge. Using density functional theory (DFT) thermodynamics and time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) computations, we investigate the atomic structures of N doping and W-N co-doping in anatase titania, as well as the effect of the thermal processing conditions. We find that W and N dopants predominantly constitute two complex structures: an N interstitial site near a Ti vacancy in the triple charge state and the simultaneous substitutions of Ti by W and the nearest O by N. The latter case induces highly localized shallow in-gap levels near the conduction band minimum (CBM) and the valence band maximum (VBM), whereas the defect complex yielded deep levels (1.9 eV above the VBM). Electronic structures suggest that substitutions of Ti by W and the nearest O by N improves the photocatalytic activity of anatase by band gap narrowing, while defective structure degrades the activity by an in-gap state-assisted electron-hole recombination, which explains the experimentally observed deep level-related photon absorption. Through the real-time propagation of TDDFT (rtp-TDDFT), we demonstrate that the presence of defective structure attracts excited electrons from the conduction band to a localized in-gap state within a much shorter time than the flat band lifetime of titania. Based on these results, we suggest that calcination under N-rich and O-poor conditions is desirable to eliminate the deep-level states to improve photocatalysis.

We studied the emission characteristics of white phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PHOLEDs), which were fabricated using a two-wavelength method. To optimize emission characteristics of white PHOLEDs, white PHOLEDs with co-doping and blue/co-doping emitting layer (EML) structures were fabricated using a host-dopant system. The total thickness of light-emitting layer was 25 nm and the dopant of blue and red was FIrpic and $Bt_2Ir(acac)$ in UGH3, respectively. In case of co-doping structure, applying micro lens array film showed efficiency improvement from the current efficiency 78.5 cd/A and power efficiency 40.4 lm/W to the current efficiency 131.1 cd/A and power efficiency 65 lm/W and blue / co-doping structure showed efficiency improvement from the current efficiency 43.8 cd/A and power efficiency 22 lm/W to the current efficiency 69 cd/A and power efficiency 32 lm/W.

We report the self-aligned low temperature poly silicon (LTPS) TFT process using simple doping process. In conventional LTPS-TFT, the Lightly Doped Drain (LDD) doping and source/drain doping are processed separately by aligning the gate with the source and drain during the gate lithography step. This ne w process not only fabricates fully self-aligned low temperature poly silicon TFTs with symmetric LDD structure but also simplifies the process flow with combined source/drain doping and LDD doping in one step. LDD doping process can be achieved using only source/drain doping process according to the new structure. In this paper, the TFT characteristics of NMOS and PMOS using the new doping process will be discussed.

We report microbolometer characteristic with n-type and p-type amorphous silicon thin film. The n-type and p-type amorphous silicon thin films were made by PECVD. The electrical properties of n-type and p-type a-Si:H thin films were investigated as a function of doping gas flow rate. The doping gas used $B_2H_6/Ar$ (1:9) and $PH_3/Ar$ (1:9). In general, the conductivity of doping a-Si:H thin films increased as doping gas increase but the conductivity of a-Si:H thin films decreased as the doping gas increase because doping gas concentration increase led to dilution gas (Ar) increase as the same time. We fabricated an amorphous silicon microbolometer using surface micromachining technology. The fabricated microbolometer had a negative TCR of 2.3%. The p-type microbolometer had responsivity of $5{\times}10^4V/W$ and high detectivity of $3{\times}10^8cm(Hz)^{1/2}/W$. The p-type microbolometer had more detectivity than n-type for less noise value.

Pentacene films, grown on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates, were doped with Iodine. ESR measurements were made for the films in the temperature range of 100-300 K. Two regimes of doping stages were discernible: a light (intercalation) doping regime and a heavy doping regime. The light doping regime was concluded to be dominated by localized holes that were trapped at low temperatures, which indicated trap states near the valence band edge.

The effects of adding higher-valence impurities on the bipolar resistive switching characteristics of Pt/$NiO_{1+x}$/TiN MIM stacks and physical properties were investigated. $NiO_{1+x}$ films with 14% W deposited at 20% oxygen partial pressure exhibited the bipolar resistance switching characteristics in Pt/$NiO_{1+x}$/TiN MIM stacks, while $NiO_{1+x}$ films with 8.2% W show unipolar resistance switching behavior. The relationship of W-doping and the crystallinity was studied by X-ray diffraction. The metallic Ni contents and $WO_x$ binding states with W amount was investigated by XPS. Our result showed that the metallic Ni, $WO_x$ binding states, and crystallinity in $NiO_{1+x}$ played an important role on the bipolar resistive switching.

The metallorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) method has been used to prepare TiO2 thin films for the degradation of hazardous organic compounds, such as 2-chlorophenol (2-CP). The effect of supporting materials and metal doping on the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 thin films also has been studied. TiO2 thin films were coated onto various supporting materials, including stainless steel cloth(SS), quartz glass tube (QGT), and silica gel (SG). Transition metals, such as Pd(II), Pt(IV), Nd(III) and Fe(III), were doped onto TiO2 thin film. The results indicate that Nd(Ⅲ) doping improves the photodegradation of 2-CP. Among all supporting materials studied, SS(37 ${\mu}m)$ appears to be the best support. An optimal amount of doping material at 1.0 percent (w/w) of TiO2-substrate thin film gives the best photodegration of 2-CP.

We have investigated the Pt doping effect on structural and electrochemical properties of amorphous vanadium oxide film, grown by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. Room temperature charge-discharge measurements based on a half-cell with a constant current clearly indicated that the Pt doping could improve the cyclibility of V$_2$O$_{5}$ cathode film. Using glancing angle x-ray diffraction (GXRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) analysis, we found that the Pt doping with l0W r.f. power induce more random amorphous structure than undoped V$_2$O$_{5}$ film. As the r.f. power of Pt increases, large amount of Pt incorporates into amorphous V$_2$O$_{5}$ and makes PtOx microcrystalline phase in amorphous matrix. This result suggests that the semicondcuting PtOx microcrystalline phase in amorphous matrix lead to a drastically faded cyclibility of 50W Pt doped V$_2$O$_{5}$ cathode film. Possible explanations are given to describe the Pt doping effect on cyclibility of vanadium oxide cathode film.de film.
