$MoO_3$ 분말을 723 K ~ 873 K에서 Ar+$H_2$ 혼합기체를 이용히여 수평관상로에서 $MoO_2$로 훤원하였으며, 반용속도를 배가스 중의 상대습도를 측정하여 계산하였다. 반응속도는 수소가스 분압과 반응속도에 따라 현저하게 증가하였다. 환원 반응초기에 $H_2O$의 발생속도가 급격하게 증가하였으며, 시간의 경과에 따라 배가스 중의 $H_2O$ 분압은 급격하게 감소하였다. 이 시기에 환원 반응율은 직선적으로 증가하였다. 환원반응 초기의 $MoO_3$에서 $MoO_2$로의 환원반응의 활성화 에너지는 73.56 kJ/mol로 계산되었다.

This paper presents a process optimization of antireflectiun (AR) coating on crystalline Si solar cells. Theoretical and experimental investigations were performed on a doble-layer AR(DLAR) coating of MgF$_2$/CeO$_2$, We investigated CeO$_2$ films as an All layer because they hale a proper refractive index of 2.46 and demonstrate the same lattice constant as Si substrate. RF sputter grown CeO$_2$ film showed strong dependence on a deposition temperature. The CeO$_2$ film deposited at 400 $^{\circ}C$ exhibited a strong (111) preferred orientation and the lowest surface roughness of 6.87 $\AA$. Refractive index of MgF$_2$ film was measured as 1.386 for the most of growth temperature. An optimized DLAR coating showed a reflectance as low as 2.04 % in the wavelengths ranged from 0.4 7m to 1.1 7m. We achieved the efficiencies of solar cells greater than 15% with 3.12 % improvement with DLAR coatings . Further details on MgF$_2$, CeO$_2$ films, and cell fabrication Parameters are presented in this paper.

In this work, the recovery of etching damage in the etched PZT thin film with $O_2$ annealing has been studied. The PZT thin films were etched as a function of Cl$_2$/Ar and additive CF$_4$ into Cl$_2$(80%) /Ar(20%). the etch rates of PZT thin films were 1600$\AA$/min at Cl$_2$(80%)/Ar(20%) and 1970 $\AA$/min at 30% additive Cf$_4$ into Cl$_2$(80%)/Ar(20%). In order to recover the characteristics of etched PZT thin films, the etched PZT thin films were annealed in $O_2$ atmosphere at various temperatures. From the hysteresis curves, ferroelectrical properties are improved by $O_2$ annealing process. The improvement of ferroelectric behavior is consistent with the increase of the (100) and (200) PZT phase revealed by x-ray diffraction (XRD). From x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, intensities of Pb-O, Zr-O and Ti-O peak increase and the chemical residue peak is reduced by $O_2$ annealing. From the atomic force microscopy (AFM) images. it shows that the surface morphology of re-annealed PZT thin films after etching is improved.

The properties of Al-doped ZnO (AZO) films were investigated as a function of H2/(Ar + H2) gas ratio using an AZO (2 wt% Al2O3) ceramic target in a radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering system. The deposition process was done at 200 ℃ and in 2 × 10-2Torr working pressure and with various ratios of H2/(Ar + H2) gas. During the AZO film deposition process, partial H2 gas affected the AZO film characteristics. The electron resistivity (~ 9.21 × 10-4 Ωcm) was lowest and mobility (~17.8 ㎠/Vs) was highest in AZO films when the H2/(Ar + H2) gas ratio was 2.5%. When the H2/(Ar + H2) gas ratio was increased above 2.5%, the electron resistivity increased and mobility decreased with increasing H2/(Ar + H2) gas ratio in AZO films. The carrier concentration increased with increasing H2/(Ar + H2) gas ratio from 0% to 7.5%. This phenomenon was explained by reaction of hydrogen and oxygen and additional formation of oxygen vacancy. The average optical transmission in the visible light wavelength region over 90% and an orientation of the deposition was [002] orientation for AZO films grown with all H2/(Ar + H2) gas ratios.

SiO2(S)+C(s)-SiO(v)+CO(v) SiO(v)3CO(v)=SiC(s)whisker+2CO2(v) 2C(s)+2CO2(v)=4CO(v) 이때 전체 반응속도는 세번째 반응에 참여하는 탄소에 의해 지배되었다. 따라서 이 반응이 휘스커 합성의 율속반응으로 판단되었다. 한편 H2 분위기에서 탄화규소 휘스커는 다음과 같은 반응기구로 성장하였다.SiO2(s)+C(s)=SiO(v)+CO(v) 2C(s)+4H2(v)=2CH4(v) SiO(v)+2CH4(v)=SiC(s)whisker+CO(v)+4H2(v) 이때 전체 반응속도는 SiO(v) 기체의발생 속도에 의해 지배되었다. 따라서 첫번째 반응이 휘스커 합성의 율속 반응인 것으로 판단되었다.

For more than three decades, the gate dielectrics in CMOS devices are $SiO_2$ because of its blocking properties of current in insulated gate FET channels. As the dimensions of feature size have been scaled down (width and the thickness is reduced down to 50 urn and 2 urn or less), gate leakage current is increased and reliability of $SiO_2$ is reduced. Many metal oxides such as $TiO_2$, $Ta_2O_4$, $SrTiO_3$, $Al_2O_3$, $HfO_2$ and $ZrO_2$ have been challenged for memory devices. These materials posses relatively high dielectric constant, but $HfO_2$ and $Al_2O_3$ did not provide sufficient advantages over $SiO_2$ or $Si_3N_4$ because of reaction with Si substrate. Recently, $HfO_2$ have been attracted attention because Hf forms the most stable oxide with the highest heat of formation. In addition, Hf can reduce the native oxide layer by creating $HfO_2$. However, new gate oxide candidates must satisfy a standard CMOS process. In order to fabricate high density memories with small feature size, the plasma etch process should be developed by well understanding and optimizing plasma behaviors. Therefore, it is necessary that the etch behavior of $HfO_2$ and plasma parameters are systematically investigated as functions of process parameters including gas mixing ratio, rf power, pressure and temperature to determine the mechanism of plasma induced damage. However, there is few studies on the the etch mechanism and the surface reactions in $BCl_3$ based plasma to etch $HfO_2$ thin films. In this work, the samples of $HfO_2$ were prepared on Si wafer with using atomic layer deposition. In our previous work, the maximum etch rate of $BCl_3$/Ar were obtained 20% $BCl_3$/ 80% Ar. Over 20% $BCl_3$ addition, the etch rate of $HfO_2$ decreased. The etching rate of $HfO_2$ and selectivity of $HfO_2$ to Si were investigated with using in inductively coupled plasma etching system (ICP) and $BCl_3/Cl_2$/Ar plasma. The change of volume densities of radical and atoms were monitored with using optical emission spectroscopy analysis (OES). The variations of components of etched surfaces for $HfO_2$ was investigated with using x-ray photo electron spectroscopy (XPS). In order to investigate the accumulation of etch by products during etch process, the exposed surface of $HfO_2$ in $BCl_3/Cl_2$/Ar plasma was compared with surface of as-doped $HfO_2$ and all the surfaces of samples were examined with field emission scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscope (AFM).

Bi$_4$-$_{x}$EU$_{x}$Ti$_3$O$_{12}$ (BET) thin films were etched by inductively coupled CF$_4$/Ar plasma. We obtained the maximum etch rate of 78 nm/min at the gas mixing ratio of CF$_4$(10%)/Ar(90%). The variation of volume density for F and Ar atoms are measured by the optical emission spectroscopy. As CF$_4$increased in CF$_4$/Ar plasma, the emission intensities of F increase, but Ar atoms decrease, which confirms our suggestion that emission intensity is proportional to the volume density of atoms. From X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the intensities of the Bi-O, the Eu-O and the Ti-O peaks are changed. By pure Ar plasma, intensity peak of the oxygen-metal (O-M : TiO$_2$, Bi$_2$O$_3$, Eu$_2$O$_3$) bond was seemed to disappear while the intensity of pure oxygen peak showed an opposite tendency. After the BET thin films was etched by CF$_4$/Ar plasma, the peak intensity of O-M bond increase slowly, but more quickly than that of peak belonged to pure oxygen atoms due to the decrease of Ar ion bombardment. Scanning electron microscopy was used to investigate etching Profile. The Profile of etched BET thin film was over 85$^{\circ}$./TEX>.

본 연구는 강유전체 박막의 buffer 층으로 사용되는 Yttrium oxide($Y_2O_3$) 박막에 대한 $BCl_3$/Ar 혼합가스 식각 특성에 대해 연구하였다. 식각 메카니즘을 해석하기 위해 QMS(Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer), OES(Optical Emission Spectroscopy)를 사용하여 플라즈마 특성을 추출하였다. 공정 조건(source power, bias power, pressure, total gas flow)을 동일하게 유지하고 $BCl_3$/Ar 혼합가스 비율을 변화시키며 실험을 진행 하였다. 혼합가스의 비율이 $BCl_3$(80%)/Ar(20%)일때 가장 높은 식각 속도을 나타냈고, 이후 점차 감소하였다. 이때의 식각 속도는 8.8 nm/min 였다. 이에 $Y_2O_3$는 이온 보조 화학식각 특성을 가짐을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 As-doped ZnO 박막의 플라즈마 식각 특성 및 메커니즘에 관하여 실험을 수행 하였다. As-doped ZnO 박막 식각 실험은 유도 결합 플라즈마 식각 장비(inductively coupled plasma;ICP)와 $BCl_3$/Ar 플라즈마에 첨가된 $Cl_2$가스의 비, RF 전력, DC bias voltage, 공정 압력에 대한 식각 속도의 변화를 관찰 하였다. $BCl_3$/Ar 플라즈마에 $Cl_2$ 가스 첨가량 6 sccm 까지는 증가하지만 그 이후 $Cl_2$ 가스의 첨가량이 증가할 때 식각속도가 감소하였다. 이는 플라즈마 내에서 Cl 라디칼의 밀도가 증가함에 따라서 $Ar^+$의 에너지가 감소와 비휘발성 식각 부산물의 증가에 의하여 효과적인 물리적 식각이 이루어 지지 못한 것으로 판단된다. OES를 이용하여 플라즈마 내에서 라디칼들의 빛의 세기를 측정하였고, 식각 후 As-type ZnO 박막 표면에서의 화학적 결합을 보기위해 XPS 분석을 실행하였다.

$BCl_3$/Ar ICP 플라즈마를 이용한 $ZrO_2$ 박막의 식각 메카니즘이 실험 결과와 모델링을 통해 연구되었다. Ar 가스의 증가에 따라, $ZrO_2$의 식각 속도는 선형 변화의 경향을 보이지 않았고, Ar의 약 30% - 35%에서 41.4nm/min의 최대의 속도를 나타내었다. Langmuir probe 측정과 plasma 모델링 결과로부터, $BCl_3$/Ar 가스 혼합비가 플라즈마 파라미터와 active species의 형성에 큰 영향을 미침을 확인하였다. 한편 surface kinetics 모델링 결과로부터, $ZrO_2$의 식각 속도는 ion-assisted chemical reaction mechanism 에 의해 결정됨을 확인하였다.
