42 Summary 1. Investigated semiconductor properties for photoelectrochemistry. The properties are important for semiconductor devices, are also important for photoelectrochemical devices. 2. Not only the depletion layer thickness depended by impurity concentration but also the shape (monotonically change) and the conductivity of the out region are also important to improve the conversion efficiency. 3. Not only the dislocation reduction but also the point defect reduction is important to improve the reliability without usion co-catalyst. 4. Surface fine structure changes the (photo)electrochemical properties of bulk-side semiconductor, but the effect probably different in the case of the equilibrium condition (without carrier flow) and steady condition (with carrier flow under light illumination, for example). 42
