Outline Activities
1. Bulk nanostructured semiconductor materials by using giant straining process
Nanocrystalline semiconductor materials exhibit unique electrical and optical properties. We investigate the formation of bulk nanostructured semiconductor materials (Si, Ge, GaAs, etc.) by using high-pressure torsion.
2. Thin film growth by using pulse jet CVD
The formation of semiconductor multiple heterostructures on Si substrates is of great interest to those building high-performance electronic and optoelectronic devices. We have reported the epitaxial growth of ultrathin (~3 nm) SiC films and SiC/Si multilayers on Si(100) by supersonic free jet CVD. We have also investigated the formation of semiconductor nanopores by utilizing SiC/Si heteroepitaxial growth, and Si-based nanowires on Si substrates by organosilane pulse jet CVD.

    2005.04~2013.03A nanometer-sized pore (nanopore) is of great interest for a possible application to molecular sensors such as DNA sequencers. The solid-state nanopore is mainly fabricated by utilizing ion beam method. However, this techniques are not suitable for mass production. We introduced the pits into the top Si layers of Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) substrates by SiC/Si heteroepitaxy, and investigate the nanopore formation onto the thin Si layer of SOI substrates..
