Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is an essential dielectric planarization in multilayer microelectronic device fabrication. In the CMP process it is necessary to minimize the extent of surface defect formation while maintaining good planarity and optimal material removal rates. The polishing mechanism of W-CMP process has been reported as the repeated process of passive layer formation by oxidizer and abrasion action by slurry abrasives. Thus, it is important to understand the effect of oxidizer on W passivation layer, in order to obtain higher removal rate (RR) and very low non-uniformity (NU%) during W-CMP process. In this paper, we compared the effects of oxidizer or W-CMP process with three different kind of oxidizers with 5% hydrogen peroxide such as $Fe(NO_3)_3$, $H_2O_2$, and $KIO_3$. The difference in removal rate and roughness of W in stable and unstable slurries are believed to caused by modification in the mechanical behavior of $Al_3O_3$ particles in presence of surfactant stabilizing the slurry.

사파이어 기판 위에 성장된 GaN위에 RUO₂/GaN 쇼트키형 자외선 수광소자를 설계, 제작하였다. 자외선 빛의 흡수율을 높이기 위해, MOCVD 다층구조는 undoped GaN(0.5 ㎛)in￣-GaN(0.1 ㎛)/n＋-GaN(1.5 ㎛)로 성장하였다. 성장층은 3.8×10/sup 18/ cm￣³의 캐리어 농도와 283 ㎠/V· s의 이동도를 가진다. 500 ㎛내외의 직경을 가지는 메사구조를 형성하기 위해 ECR 식각한 후, n＋-GaN층위에 Al으로 저항성 접촉을 하였다. 저항성 및 쇼트키 접촉 사이에 Si₃/N₄ 박막으로 절연한 이후 undoped GaN 층위에 RuO₂ 쇼트키 접촉을 하였다. 제작된 쇼트키 다이오드는 1.15×10/sup -5/ ［Ω-㎠］의 접촉비저항을 가졌다. 제작된 다이오드는 역전압인 -5V에서 305pA의 낮은 누설전류를 확인하였는데, 이 값은 RuO₂ 쇼트키 금속증착에 의해 현저히 향상된 것이다. 광측정에서는 10/sup 5/의 자외선대가시광선 제거비와 365nm 파장에서 0.23A/W로 높은 응답도를 보인다.

We investigated and compared two methods of in-situ oxidation and chemical etching treatment (CET) to remove the boron rich layer (BRL). The BRL is generally formed during boron doping process. It has to be controlled in order not to degrade carrier lifetime and reduce electrical properties. A boron emitter is formed using $BBr_3$ liquid source at $930^{\circ}C$. After that, in-situ oxidation was followed by injecting oxygen of 1,000 sccm into the furnace during ramp down step and compared with CET using a mixture of acid solution for a short time. Then, we analyzed passivation effect by depositing $Al_2O_3$. The results gave a carrier lifetime of $110.9{\mu}s$, an open-circuit voltage ($V_{oc}$) of 635 mV at in-situ oxidation and a carrier lifetime of $188.5{\mu}s$, an $V_{oc}$ of 650 mV at CET. As a result, CET shows better properties than in-situ oxidation because of removing BRL uniformly.
