Selective area epitaxy of multiple-stacked InP/InGaAs structures were grown by chemical beam epitaxy. The width of top of the multiple-stacked InP/InGaAs layer which were selectively grown on the stripe lines parallel to the <011> direction was narrowed, while the width of top of the multiple-stacked InP/InGaAs layer on the stripe lines parallel to the <01-1> was widen. This difference according to the <011> and <01-1> direction was explained by the growth of InGaAs <311>A and B faces on the (100) InP surface on the stripe lines parallel to the <01-1> direction. Under growth rate of $1\;{\mu}m/h$, top of the multiple-stacked InP/InGaAs was flattened as the pressure of group V gas was decreased. This phenomenon was understood by the saturation of group V element on the surface.

We suggest new emitter formation method using solid-phase epitaxy (SPE); solid-phase epitaxy emitter (SEE). This method expect simplification and cost reduction of process compared with furnace process (POCl3 or BBr3). The solid-phase epitaxy emitter (SEE) deposited a-Si:H layer by radio-frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF-PECVD) on substrate (c-Si), then thin layer growth solid-phase epitaxy (SPE) using rapid thermal process (RTP). This is possible in various emitter profile formation through dopant gas ($PH_3$) control at deposited a-Si:H layer. We fabricated solar cell to apply solid-phase epitaxy emitter (SEE). Its performance have an effect on crystallinity of phase transition layer (a-Si to c-Si). We confirmed crystallinity of this with a-Si:H layer thickness and annealing temperature by using raman spectroscopy, spectroscopic ellipsometry and transmission electron microscope. The crystallinity is excellent as the thickness of a-Si layer is thin (~50 nm) and annealing temperature is high (<$900^{\circ}C$). We fabricated a 16.7% solid-phase epitaxy emitter (SEE) cell. We anticipate its performance improvement applying thin tunnel oxide (<2nm).

TiN thin films were grown on (100) Si substrate by atomic layer epitaxy at 130 - $240^{\circ}C$ using TEMAT and NH3 as precursors. Reactants were injected into the reactor in sequence of TEMAT precursor vapor pulse, N2 purging gas pulse, NH3 gas pulse and N2 purging gas pulse so that gas-phase reactions could be removed. The films were characterized by means of x-ray diffraction(XRD), 4-point probe, atomic force microscopy(AFM) and auger electron spectroscopy(AES).

Li-doped ZnS layers were grown by molecular beam epitaxy. It was found that relatively low growth temperature is suitable for effective incorporation of Li acceptors. The layers grown under optimized conditions exhibited photoluminescence spectra dominated by neutral-acceptor-bound excitons. Such layers also showed electrically p-type behavior in capacitance-voltage characteristics. The net acceptor concentration is estimated to be approximately $3{\times}10^{15}\;cm^{-3}$.

CdTe thin films were grown on GaAs (100) substrates by hot wall epitaxy method. From the XRD measurements, it was found that CdTe/GaAs (100) film was grown as a single crystals with the different from growth plane of (III), and growth rate of CdTe thin films was found to be 30 $\AA/sec$ by SEM. To acquire a high quality CdTe thin film, the optimum temperature for the source and substrate are found to be $500^{\circ}C$ and $320^{\circ}C$, respectively, which was checked by PL.

We have developed a laser molecular beam epitaxy system for the layer-by-layer growth of oxide thin films. Using this system, we could grow and control oxide thin films of LaAlO$_3$in a molecular layer epitaxy mode on the atomically flat SrTiO$_3$ substrate with a LaAlO$_3$single crystal target. Very clear RHEED oscillations were observed during to growth of a LaAlO$_3$ film for a long period under the optimized conditions of substrate temperature at $650^{\circ}C$, oxygen pressure at 1$\times$10\ulcorner torr, and an incident laser fluence of 4.6J/$\textrm{cm}^2$. The height of mono-layer-LaAlO$_3$ film grown during one period of RHEED intensity oscillation was 3.8$\AA$.

Single crystal $AgGaSe_2$ layers were grown on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate at $420^{\circ}C$ with hot wall epitaxy (HWE) system by evaporating $AgGaSe_2$ source at $630^{\circ}C$. The crystalline structure of the single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXD). The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $AgGaSe_2$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)=19501 eV-(879{\times}10^{-4} eV/K)T^2/(T+250 K)$.

The stochiometric mixture of evaporating materials for the $ZnIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin film was prepared from horizontal furnace. To obtain the $ZnIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin film. $ZnIn_2S_4$ mixed crystal was deposited on throughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100). In the Hot Wall Epitaxy(HWE) system. From the photocurrent spectrum by illumination of perpendicular light on the c-axis of the $ZnIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin film, we have found that the values of spin orbit splitting ${\Delta}So$ and the crystal field splitting ${\Delta}Cr$ were 0.0148 eV and 0.1678 eV at $10_{\circ}K$, respectively.

결정결함의 밀도가 낮은 GaN epitaxy 막을 MOCVD(metal organic chemical vapour deposition) 방법에 의해 성장시켰다. 기판은 6H-SiC를 사용하였으며, AlN과 GaN으로 구성된 이중 buffer 층을 도입하였다. GaN buffer 층은 반응원료인 trimethyl gallium(TMG)과 NH3 가스를 교호식펄스공급(alternating pulsative supply, APS)방법에 의해 만들었다. AlN buffer/6H-SiC 위에 초기단계에 형성되는 GaN 섬은 APS처리에 의해 크기가 커지는 것을 AFM(atomic force microscope)으로 관찰하였다. Buffer 층의 역할은 그 위에 성막시킨 GaN epitaxy 막의 결정성과 결함밀도에 의해 조사하였다. 성막된 GaN의 결정구조와 결정성은 DCXRD(double crystal X-ray diffractormeter)에 의해 측정되었다. 결정결함은 EPD(etching pit density)를 측정하는 방법으로 알칼리혼합용에서 처리된 막을 SEM(scanning electron microscope)으로 관찰하였다.
