Vacuum evaporated cadmium sulphide (CdS) thin films were implanted with $Ar^+$ and $N^+$ for different doses. The properties of the ion implanted CdS thin films have been analysed using XRD, optical transmittance spectra, and Raman scattering studies. Formation of Cd metallic clusters were observed in ion implanted films. The band gap of $Ar^+$ doped films decreased from 2.385 eV of the undoped film to 2.28 eV for the maximum doping. In the case of $N^+$ doped film the band gap decreased from 2.385 to 2.301 eV, whereas the absorption coefficient values increased with the increase of implantation dose. On implantation of both types of ions, the Raman peak position appeared at $299\textrm{cm}^{-1}$ and the FWHM changed with the ion dose.

이온빔 스퍼터링을 이용해 유리 기판위에 Tin-doped Indium Oxide (ITO) 투명 전도성 박막을 성장시켜 이온빔의 전류밀도와 에너지 그리고 기판 온도에 따르는 ITO박막의 구조적, 전기적, 광학적 특성을 분석하였다. 또한, 반응성 가스인 산소의 아르곤에 대한 유량비를 변화시켜 이온 빔 스퍼터링시에 산소 분압이 ITO 박막의 물성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 이온 소스는 직경 5-cm인 cold hollow cathode ion gun을 이용하였으며 base pressure는 2$\times$10-5 Torr이며 가스 주입 후의 3$\times$10-4 Torr이하의 working pressure에서 박막을 증착하였다. 이온 전류 밀도는 5$\mu$A~15$\mu$A까지 변화시켰으며 이온 에너지는 0.7keV~1.3keV까지 변화시켰다. 반응성 가스는 아르곤에 대하여 Zmrp 0, 50, 100%까지 변화시켰으며 기판 온도는 50, 100, 150, 20$0^{\circ}C$로 변화시켰다. ITO 박막의 결정구조는 Ar 이온만으로 스퍼터링한 경우에는 XRD 상에서 [400] 방향으로 우선성장하였으며 산소분압이 증가함에 따라 [222] 방향으로 우선 성장함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 전기적 특성은 Ar ion에 Oxygen ion의 비율이 약간만 증가하여도 비저항의 큰 증가를 보여 주었다. 이는 산소 vacancy의 감소에 의한 것으로 여겨진다.

The influence of ion implantation on surface properties of polymers was studied. We investigated microhardness, friction, wear and wettablility of polyimide. Energies of 50, 200keV were used with doses range from $1{\times}10^{13} to 1{\times}10^{16} [ions/cm^2]$. The implanted ion species were B, N and Ar. The microhardness of polyimide was increased after implantation for doses of $1{\times}10^{15}\; [ions/cm^2]$. A reduction of the friction coefficient was in most case correlated with a reduction of wear. The contact angles of water for $B^+,N^+$ implanted polyimide decreased from $76^{\circ}C$ to zero, as the fluencies increased at energies of 50 and 200 KeV. However, the contact angle of Ar ion implanted polyimide did not change under ambient room conditions even if the time elapsed. SEM measurement was performed to characterize the modified surface layer.

Drastic development of ubiquitous devices requires more advanced batteries with high specific capacitance and high rate capability. Large-area microstructure characterization across the stacks of cathode, electrolyte and anode might reveal the origin of the instability or degradation of batteries upon cycling charge. In this study, sample preparation methods to observe the cross-section view of the electrodes for battery in SEM and several imaging tips are reviewed. For an accurate evaluation of the microstructure, ion milling which flats the surface uniformly is recommended. Pros and cons of cross-section polishing (CP) with Ar ion and focused ion beam (FIB) with Ga ion were compared. Additionally, a modified but new cross-section milling technique utilizing precision ion polishing system (PIPS) which can be an alternative method of CP is developed. This simple approach will make the researchers have more chances to prepare decent large-area cross-section electrode for batteries.

keV ion beam irradiatin for surface modification and thin film growth have been discussed. keV ion beam irradiation in reactive gas environment has been developed for improving wettability of polymer, and for enhancing adhesion to metal film, and adventages of the method have been reviewed. An epitaxial Cu film on Si(100) substrate has been grown by ionized cluster beam and changes of crystallinity and surface roughness have been discussed. Stoichiometric $SnO_2$ films on Si(100) and glass have been grown by a hybrid ion beam Deposition(2 metal ion sources+1 gas ion source), and nonstoichiometric $SnO_2$ films are controlled by various deposition conditions in the HIB. Surface modification for polymer by kev ion irradiation have been developed. Wetting angle of water to PC has been changed from 68 degree to 49 degree with $Ar^+$ irradiation and to 8 degree with $Ar^+$ irradiation and the oxygen environment. Change of surface phenomena in a keV ion beam and characteristics of the grown films are suggested.

The etching mechanism of $ZrO_2$ thin films and etch selectivity over some materials in both $BCl_3$/Ar and $BCl_3/CHF_3$/Ar plasmas are investigated using a combination of experimental and modeling methods. To obtain the data on plasma composition and fluxes of active species, global (0-dimensional) plasma models are developed with Langmuir probe diagnostics data. In $BCl_3$/Ar plasma, changes in gas mixing ratio result in non-linear changes of both densities and fluxes for Cl, $BCl_2$, and ${BCl_2}^+$. In this work, it is shown that the non-monotonic behavior of the $ZrO_2$ etch rate as a function of the $BCl_3$/Ar mixing ratio could be related to the ion-assisted etch mechanism and the ion-flux-limited etch regime. The addition of up to 33% $CHF_3$ to the $BCl_3$-rich $BCl_3$Ar plasma does not influence the $ZrO_2$ etch rate, but it non-monotonically changes the etch rates of both Si and $SiO_2$. The last effect can probably be associated with the corresponding behavior of the F atom density.

$SrBi_2Ta_2O_9$ thin films were etched at high-density $Cl_2/CF_4/Ar$ in inductively coupled plasma system. The chemical reactions on the etched surface were studied with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectrometry. The etching of SBT thin films in $Cl_2/CF_4/Ar$ were chemically assisted reactive ion etching. The maximum etch rate was 1060 Am /min in $Cl_2$(20)/CF_4(20)/Ar(80). The small addition of $Cl_2$ into $CF_4$(20)/Ar(80) plasma will decrease the fluorine radicals and the increase CI radical. The etch profile of SBT thin films in $Cl_2/CF_4/Ar$ plasma is steeper than in $CF_4$/Ar plasma.Ā저會Ā저ﶖ⨀⡌ឫഀĀ᐀會Ā᐀㡆ﶖ⨀쁌ឫഀĀ᐀會Ā᐀遆ﶖ⨀郞ග堂瀀ꀏ會Āﶖ⨀〲岒ऀĀ᐀會Ā᐀䁇ﶖ⨀젲岒Ā㰀會Ā㰀顇ﶖ⨀끩Ā㈀會Ā㈀ﶖ⨀䡪Ā᐀會Ā᐀䡈ﶖ⨀Ā᐀會Ā᐀ꁈﶖ⨀硫Ā저會Ā저ﶖ⨀샟ගကĀ저會Ā저偉ﶖ⨀栰岒ఀĀ저會Ā저ꡉﶖ⨀1岒Ā저會Ā저Jﶖ⨀惝ග؀Ā؀會Ā؀塊ﶖ⨀ග㼀Ā切會Ā切끊ﶖ⨀⣟ගఀĀ搀會Ā搀ࡋﶖ⨀큭킢Ā저會Ā저

Generally the high dielectric films, such as PZT(Pb(Z $r^{1-x}$ $Ti_{x}$ ) $O_3$) and BST(B $a_{l-x}$S $r_{x}$ Ti $O_3$) have been formed on the Pt thin films. However it is generally known that the dry etching of Pt is difficult because of its chemical stability. So, the dry etching of Pt remains at the preliminary work. Therefore, in this study, Pt etching mechanism was investigated with Ar/C $l_2$gas plasma by using XPS(X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) and QMS(Quadrupole mass spectrometry). Ion current density was measured with Ar/C $l_2$gas plasma by using single Langmuir probe. XPS results shoved that the atomic % of Cl element on the etched Pt sample increased with increasing Ar/(Ar+C $l_2$). And QMS results showed that the increase of Ar partial pressure in the plasma resulted in the improvement of C $l_2$dissociation and Cl redical formation and simultaniously the increase of ion bombardment effects.s.s.

This work was devoted to an investigation of etching mechanisms for $(Ba,Sr)TiO_3$ (BST) thin films in inductively coupled $CF_4/Ar$ plasma. We have found that an increase of the Ar content in $CF_4/Ar$ plasma causes non-monotonic behavior of BST etch rate, which reaches a maximum value of 40 nm/min at 80% Ar. Langmuir probe measurements show a weak sensitivity of both electron temperature and electron density to the change of $CF_5/Ar$ mixing ratio. O-D model for plasma chemistry gave monotonic changes of both volume densities and fluxes for active species responsible for the etching process. The analysis of surface kinetics confirms the possibility of non-monotonic etch rate behavior due to the concurrence of physical and chemical pathways in ion-assisted chemical reaction.

In this article, we examine the influences of Ne and He buffer gases under confined Ar⁺ ion cloud in a homemade Paul ion trap in various pressures and confinement times. The trap is of small size (r₀ = 1 cm) operating in a radio frequency (rf) voltage only mode, and has limited accuracy of 13 V. The electron impact and ionization process take place inside the trap and a Faraday cup has been used for the detection. Although the experimental results show that the Ar⁺ ion FWHM with Ne buffer gas is wider than the He buffer gas at the same pressure (1×10^-1 mbar) and confinement time is about 1000 μs, nevertheless, a faster cooling was found with He buffer gas with 500 μs. ultimetly, the obtanied results performed an average cloud tempertures reduced from 1777 K to 448.3 K for Ne (1000 μs) and from 1787.9 K to 469.4 K for He (500 μs)
