In this paper, amorphous semiconductor and insulator thin film are etched using reactive ion etcher. At that time, we experiment in various RIE conditions (chamber pressure, gas flow rate, rf power, temperature) that have effects on quality of thin film. The using gases are $CF_4,\;CF_4+O_2,\;CCl_2F_2,\;CHF_3$ gases. The etching of a-Si:H thin film use $CF_4,\;CF_4+O_2$ gases and the etching of $a-SiO_2,\;a-SiN_x$ thin film use $CCl_2F_2,\;CHF_3$ gases. The $CCl_2F_2$ gas is particularly excellent because the selectivity of between a-Si:H thin film and $a-SiN_x$ thin film is 6:1. We made precise condition on dry etching with uniformity of 5%. If this dry etching condition is used, that process can acquire high yield and can cut down process cost.

The physical and electrical properties of TiN/TiSiS12T contact barrier were studied. The TiN/TiSiS12T system was formed by rapid thermal anneal in NS12T ambient after the Ti film was deposited on silicon substrate. The Ti film reacts with NS12T gas to make a TiN layer at the surface and reacts with silicon to make a TiSiS12T layer at the interface respectively. It was found that the formation of TiN/TiSiS12T system depends on RTA temperature. In this experiment, competitive reaction for TiN/TiSiS12T system occured above $600^{\circ}C$. Ti-rich TiNS1xT layer and Ti-rich TiSiS1xT layer were formed at $600^{\circ}C$. stable structure TiN layer and TiSiS1xT layer which has CS149T phase and CS154T phase were formed at $700^{\circ}C$. Both stable TiN layer and CS154T phase TiSiS12T layer were formed at 80$0^{\circ}C$. The thickness of TiN/TiSiS12T system was increased as the thickness of deposited Ti film increased.

박막형 접촉연소식을 포함한 마이크로 가스센서에서 membrane은 Si식각시 식각정지용으로서 또 센서 소자를 지지하는 층으로서 응력이 없어야 하며 이는 응력이 membrane파괴의 주 원인으로 작용하기 때문이다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 증착조건이 low pressure chemical vapor deposition(LPCVD)법과 sputtering법으로 제작된 $SiN_{x}$과 $SiN_{x}/SiO_{x}/(NON)$막의 응력고 굴절율 변화에 미치는 효과에 대한 실험을 행하였다. LPCVD의 경우 단일막인 $SiN_{x}$의 압축응력 및 굴절율을 나타내었다. Sputtering의 경우 $SiN_{x}$는 공정압력이 1mtorr에서 30torr까지 증가할수록 인가전력밀도가 $2.74W/cm^2$에서 $1.10W/cm^2$으로 감소할수록 응력값은 압축에서 인장으로 전환되었으며 본 실험에서 응력이 가장 낮게 나온 시편의경우 압축응력으로 $1.2{\times}10^{9}dyne/cm^2$가 공정압력 10mtorr, 인가전력밀도 $1.37W/cm^2$에서 얻어졌다. 굴절율은 공정압력이 1motorr에서 30motorr까지 증가할수혹 인가전력밀도가 $2.74W/cm^2$에서 $1.10W/cm^2$으로 감소할수록 감소하여 2.05에서 1.89의 변화를 보였다. LPCVD와 sputtering으로 증착된 막들은 모두 온도가 증가함에 따라 응력이 감소하였으며 온도감소시 소성적인 특성을 나타내었다.

Aluminum nitride (AlN) thin films were deposited on Si substrates by using polycrystalline (poly) 3C-SiC buffer layers, in which the AlN film was grown by pulsed reactive magnetron sputtering. Characteristics of grown AlN films were investigated experimentally by means of FE-SEM, X-ray diffraction, and FT-IR, respectively. The columnar structure of AlN thin films was observed by FE-SEM. X-ray diffraction pattern proved that the grown AlN film on 3C-SiC layers had highly (002) orientation with low value of FWHM (${\Theta}=1.3^{\circ}$) in the rocking curve around (002) reflections. These results were shown that almost free residual stress existed in the grown AlN film on 3C-SiC buffer layers from the infrared absorbance spectrum. Therefore, the presented results showed that AlN thin films grown on 3C-SiC buffer layers can be used for various piezoelectric fields and M/NEMS applications.

The demand for low-friction, wear and corrosion resistant components, which operate under severe conditions, has directed attentions to advanced surface engineering technologies. The Filtered Vacuum Arc Cathode Deposition (FVACD) process has demonstrated atomically smooth surface at relatively high deposition rates over large surface areas. Preparation of Ti-Si-C-N nanocomposite coatings on (100) Si and stainless steel substrates with tetramethylsilane (TMS) gas pressures to optimize the film preparation conditions. Ti-S-C-N coatings were characterized using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, nanoindentation, Rockwell C indentation and ball-on-disk wear tests. The XRD results have confirmed phase formation information of TiSiCN coatings, which shows mixing of TiN and TiC structure, corresponding to (111), (200) and (220) planes of TiCN. The chemical composition of the film was investigated by XPS core level spectra. The binding energy of the elements present in the films was estimated using XPS measurements and it shows present of elemental information corresponding to Ti2p, N1s, Si 2p and C1. Film hardness and elastic modulus were measured with a nano-indenter, and film hardness reached 40 GPa. Tribological behaviors of the films were evaluated using a ball-on-disk tribometer, and the films demonstrated properties of low-friction and good wear resistance.

팩시밀리용 1차원 영상감지소자로 사용 가능한 수소화된 비정질 실리콘 다층막을 RF 글로방전 분해법으로 제작하였다. ITO/i-a-Si:H/Al 구조는 양전극으로부터의 캐리어주입과 인듐확산으로 인한 암전류가 상대적으로 크므로 본 논문에서는 이 암전류를 억제하고, ITO/i-a-Si:H의 계면에 임듐확산으로 인한 광전변환특성의 저하를 막기 위하여 $SiO_{2}$ 혹은 $SiO_{x}N_{y}$막이 사이에 끼인 ITO/유전체/i-a-Si:H/p-a-Si:H/Al구조를 제작하였다. 이는 계면의 전장을 증가시켜 양호한 광전변환특성을 얻기 위한 것이다. $SiO_{2}$막의 두께가 $300{\AA}$이고 p-a-Si:H막의 두께가 $1500{\AA}$일 때 암전류는 0.1nA이하로 억제되고 광전류도 5V의 인가전압에서 20nA로 포화되었다. 또한 광이용률을 향상시키기 위해 $SiO_{x}N_{y}$막을 ITO와 함께 이중 반반사약으로 형성시켜 ITO/a-$SiO_{x}N_{y}$/i-a-Si:H/p-a-Si:H/Al구조의 다층막을 제작하였다. 이 때 $SiO_{x}N_{y}$막 및 p-a-Si:H막의 두께는 각각 $300{\AA}$ 및 $1500{\AA}$으로 하였다. 광도 $20{\mu}W/cm^{2}$ 및 인가바이어스 5V하에서 광전류는 30nA, 암전류는 0.08nA로 각각 좋은 특성을 나타내었으며 광전류도 5V게서 포화되었다. 또한 분광감도특성의 결과로부터 단층막의 최대감도를 나타내는 파장은 약 630nm이었으며 다층막의 경우는 약 560nm정도이었다. 제작된 다층막의 균일도는 약 5%의 오차를 가졌으며 광응답시간은 0.3msec였다.

Silicon nitride ($SiN_x$) 박막이 상온에서 $SiO_2/Si$ 기판 위에 반응성 직류 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방법에 의하여 증착되었다. 증착된 $SiN_x$ 박막의 조성은 x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy를 이용하여 분석되었으며 Si가 풍부한 $SiN_x$ 박막이 증착되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 증착된 $SiN_x$ 박막은 annealing 온도와 시간을 변화하여 annealing 되었다. X-ray diffraction (XRD) 분석이 $SiN_x$ 박막 내에 Si의 결정화를 조사하기 위해서 수행되었고, 박막의 광학적 특성과 전기적 특성들이 Si nanodot의 형성을 확인하기 위하여 측정되었다. 그 결과로써, XRD 분석에서 Si으로 예상되어지는 peak을 관찰할 수 있었으며 annealing 시간과 온도가 증가함에 따라서 $SiN_x$ 박막의 photoluminescence intensity는 점진적으로 증가하는 것이 관찰되었다. Annealing 전과 후에 측정된 $SiN_x$ 박막의 capacitance-voltage 특성으로부터 $SiN_x$ 박막 내에 존재하는 Si nanodot에 의하여 electron이나 hole의 trap 효과가 나타남을 예상할 수 있었다.

Fabrication of barrier layer on PES substrate and plastic OLED device by atomic layer deposition are carried out. Simultaneous deposition of 30nm of $AlO_x$ film on both sides of PES gives film MOCON value of 0.0615g/$m^2$.day (@38$^{\circ}C$, 100% R.H). Introduction of conformal $AlO_x$ film by ALD resulted in enhanced barrier properties for inorganic double layered film including PECVO $SiN_x$. Preliminary life time to 91% of initial luminance (1300 cd/$m^2$ ) for 100nm of PECVD $SiN_x$/30nm of ALD $AlO_x$ coated plastic OLED device was 260 hours.

Properties of silicon nitride ($SiN_x$) film including physical and electrical characteristics have been studied for improving the stability of hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin-film transistors (a-Si TFTs) in active-matrix liquid-crystal displays (AMLCDs). The instability of a-Si:H TFTs is estimated by accelerated stress test of both bias-temperature stress and bias-illumination stress. The results show that the deposition conditions of $SiN_x$ films with higher power and lower pressure are the best choice for improving the on-current and stability of TFTs.

The passivation films with epoxy layer on LiF, $SiN_x$ and LiF/$SiN_x$ inorganic layer were fabricated on OLED to protect device from the direct damage of $O_2$ and $H_2O$ and to apply for a buffer layer between OLED device and passivation multi-layer with organic/inorganic hybrid structure as to diminish the thermal stress and expansion. Red OLED doped with 1 vol.% Rubrene in $Alq_3$ was used as a basic device. The device structure was multi-layer of ITO(150 nm) / ELM200_HIL(50 nm) / ELM002_HTL(30 nm) / $Alq_3$: 1 vol.% Rubrene(30 nm) / $Alq_3$(30 nm) / LiF(0.7 nm) / Al(100 nm). LiF/epoxy applied as a protective layer didn't contribute to the improvement of life time. While in case of $SiN_x$/epoxy, damage was done in the passivation process because of difference in heat expansion between films which could occur during the formation of epoxy film. Using LiF/$SiN_x$/epoxy improved lifetime significantly without suffering damage in the process of forming films, therefore, the best structure of passivation film with inorganic/epoxy layers was LiF/$SiN_x$/E1.
