The glass-ceramics for ferro-electric were made from compositions of 70PbO.16TiO2.8SiO2.4B2O3.2AlPO4 (wt%) and 67.5PbO.20TiO2.8.5SiO2.2B2O3.2AlPO4 (wt%). The crystallization kinetics for PbTiO3 crystalline phase formation from glass was studied using non-isothermal DSC techniques. The values of activation energy, ΔE using variables of heating rate and temperature were calculated at various reaction fractions obtained from peak area over DSC. The results indicated that activation energy was lowest at 60% reaction fractions and the activation energy of glass containing 20.0 wt% TiO2 is higher than that of glass containing 16.0 wt% TiO2. The crystallization mechanism was three dimensional growth (n=4).

The oxidation behavior of Ag-36.8a%Cu-7.4at%Ti alloy brazed on Si3N4 substrate was investigated at 400, 500 and 600$^{\circ}C$ in air. Under this experimental condition Si3N4 and Ag were not oxidized whereas Cu and Ti among the brazing alloy components were oxidizied obeying the parabolic oxidation rate law. The activation energy of oxidation was found to be 80kj/ mol which was smaller than that of pure Cu owing to the presence of oxygen active element of Ti. The outer oxide scale formed from the initial oxidation state was always composed of Cu oxides which were known to be growing by the outward diffusion of Cu ions. As the oxidation progressed the concentration gradient occurred due to the continuous consumption of Cu as Cu oxides and consequently build-up of an Ag-enriched layer below the Cu oxides resulted in the formation of multiple oxide scales composed of Cu oxide (CuO) /Ag-enriched layer/Cu oxide (Cu2O) /Ag-enriched layer. Also the inward diffusing of oxygen through Cu oxide and Ag-enriched layers led to the formation of internal oxides of TiO2.

저항이 5$\Omega$-cm인 n-type Si(100) 웨이퍼를 실리콘 식각시 마스크로 사용하기 위하여 습식 열산화법을 이용하여 100$0^{\circ}C$에서 SiO2을 2400$\AA$ 성장시킨 후, OPCVD 공정을 통해 785$^{\circ}C$서 SiH2Cl2 가스 30sccm과 NH3가스 100sccm을 이용하여 Si3N4를 3000$\AA$ 증착시켰다. 이 웨이퍼를 포토-리쏘그라피 공정을 거쳐 지름 2$\mu\textrm{m}$의 포토레지스트 패턴을 제작한 후 600W의 RF power하에서 CF4 가스 10sccm, CHF3 가스 15sccm, O2가스 8sccm 및 Ar가스 10sccm을 이용하여 MERIE 방법으로 Si3N4를 식각한 다음, 7:1 BHF 용액내에서 30초간의 습식식각을 통해 40wt.%의 KOH 용액내에 8$0^{\circ}C$에서 30초간의 이방성 식각을 통해 피라미드 모양의 Si FEA(field emitter array)를 제작하였다. 본 실험은 다음과 같이 완성된 Si FEA를 샤프닝 산화 후 산화막 식각을 통해 마스크를 제거한 다음, tip의 열화학적 내구성을 증가시키고 장시간 구동시 안정성과 전계방출 전류밀도를 높이기 위해 tip의 표면에 Ti를 sputter 방법으로 약 300$\AA$ 증착시킨 후, RTA 장비를 이용하여 2단계 열처리 (first annealing:$600^{\circ}C$/30sec, second annealing : 85$0^{\circ}C$/15sec)를 통해 Si FEA의 경우보다 낮은 turn-on 전압과 높은 전계방출 특성을 나타낼 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: To design and fabricate the small sputter coating system for the Ophthalmic lens. Methods: The design of sputter target was done using macleod program for AR coating and mirror coating of Ophthalmic lens with Si target and then the sputter system was fabricated. Results: The optimum condition of AR coating with Si target was [air|$SiO_2$(81.3)|$Si_3N_4$ (102)|$SiO_2$(19.21)|$Si_3N_4$(15.95)|$SiO_2$(102)|glass], for blue color mirror coating [air|$SiO_2$(56.61)|$Si_3N_4$(135.86)|$SiO_2$(67.64)|$Si_3N_4$(55.4)|$SiO_2$(53.53)|$Si_3N_4$(51.28)|glass], for green color coating [air|$SiO_2$(66.2)|$Si_3N_4$(22.76)|$SiO_2$(56.58)|$Si_3N_4$(140.35)|$SiO_2$(152.35)|$Si_3N_4$(70.16)|$SiO_2$(121.87)|glass], for gold color [air|$SiO_2$(83.59)|$Si_3N_4$(144.86)|$SiO_2$(11.82)|$Si_3N_4$(129.93)|$SiO_2$(90.01)|$Si_3N_4$(88.37)|glass]. Conclusions: In the fabrication of sputtering coating apparatus, Dual cathode with same Ti target were coated at the same time on both sides of Ophthalmic lens to lessen the time of coating on Ophthalmic Lens and save the cost of the lens. The distance of target-substrate of cathode was variable from 12.5 cm to 20 cm. Turbo pump was used to take the whole coating process about 15 min. instead of diffusion pump. The lens holder was made to coat 2 pairs lens every coating and was rotated to get the uniformity of thin film.

Tungsten nitride($WN_x$) films were deposited by PECVD method on silicon nitride($WSi_3N_4$) substrate. The characteristics of $WN_x$ film were investigated with changing various processing parameters ; substrate temperature, gas flow rate, rf power, and different nitrogen sources. The nitrogen composition in $WN_x$ film varied from 0 to 45% according to the $NH_3$ and $N_2$ flow rate. The highest deposition rate of 160 nm/min was obtained for the $NH_3$ gas and relatively low deposition rate of $WN_x$ films were formed by $N_2$ gas. $WN_x$ films deposited on $WSi_3N_4$ substrate had higher deposition rate than that of TiN and Si substrates. The purity of $WN_x$ film were analyzed by AES and higher purity $WN_x$ films were deposited using $NH_3$ gas. The XRD analysis indicates a phase transition from polycrystalline tungsten(W) to amorphous tungsten nitride($WN_x$), showing improved etching profile of $WN_x$ films Thick $WN_x$ films were deposited on various substrates such as Tin, NiCr and Al and maximum thickness of $1.6 {\mu}m$ was obtained on the Al adhesion layer.

The strain characteristics of a fiber optic Fabry-Perot pressure sensor with high sensitivity using a $Si_{3}N_{4}/SiO_{2}/Si_{3}N_{4}$ (N/O/N) diaphragm is experimentally investigated. A 600 nm thick N/O/N diaphragm was fabricated by silicon anisotropic etching technology in 44 wt% KOH solution. An interferometric fiber optic pressure sensor has been manufactured by using a fiber optic Fabry-Perot intereferometer and a N/O/N diaphragm. The 2 cm length fiber optic Fabry-Perot interferometers in the continuous length of single mode fiber were produced with two pieces of single mode fiber coated with $TiO_{2}$ dielectric film utilizing the fusion splicing technique. The one end of the fiber optic Fabry-Perot interferometer was bonded to a N/O/N diaphragm. and the other end was connected to an optical setup through a 3 dB coupler. For the N/O/N diaphragm sized $2{\times}2\;mm^{2}$ and $8{\times}8\;mm^{2}$, the pressure sensitivity was measured 0.11 rad/kPa and 1.57 rad/kPa, respectively, and both of the nonlinearities were less than 0.2% FS.

The TiN thin films were deposited by ALE(atomic layer epitaxy) on (100) silicon substrate. The TiN thin films were characterized by means of XRD, 4-point probe, AFM, AES and SEM. TEMAT(terakis(ethyl methy lamino)titanium) and $NH_3$ were injected into the reactor in sequence of TEMAT-$N_2-NH_3-N_2$ to ensure a saturated surface reaction. As a result, the depostion rate of the TiN film was controlled by self-limiting growth mechanism at temperature range form 150 to 220 $^{\circ}C$. Deposited TiN films, all of which show amorphous structure, had a fixed deposition rate of 4.5 ${\AA}$/cycle. The resistivity of 210 ~ 230 ${\mu}{\Omega}{\cdot}$cm and the surface r.m.s. roughness of 7.9 ~ 9.3 ${\AA}$ were measured. When TiN film of 2000 ${\AA}$ were deposited, a excellent step coverage were observed in a trench structure of 0.43${\mu}m$ contacts with 6:1 aspect ratio.

Atomic layer deposition(ALD) of amorphous TiN films on $SiO_2$ between 17$0^{\circ}C$ and 21O$^{\circ}C$ has been investigated by alternate supply of reactant sources, Ti[N($C_2,H_5,CH_3)_2]_4$ [tetrakis(ethylmethylamminoltitanium: TEMAT] and $NH_3$. Reactant sources were injected into the reactor in the order of TEMAT vapor pulse, Ar gas pulse, $NH_3$. gas pulse and Ar gas pulse. Film thickness per cycle was saturated at around 1.6 monolayer(MU per cycle with sufficient pulse times of reactant sources at 20$0^{\circ}C$. The results suggest that film thickness per cycle could be beyond 1 MLicycie in ALD, which were explained by rechemisorption mechanisms of reactant sources. The ideal linear relationship be¬tween number of cycles and film thickness is confirmed. As a results of surface limited reactions of ALD, step cover¬age was excellent. Particles caused by the gas phase reactions between TEMAT and NH3 were almost free because TEMAT was seperated from $NH_3$ by the Ar pulse. In spite of relatively low substrate temperature, carbon impurity was incorporated below 4 at%.

금속 실리사이드 나노입자는 열적 및 화학적 안정성이 뛰어나고, 절연막내에 일함수 차이에 따라 깊은 양자 우물구조가 형성되어 비휘발성 메모리 소자를 제작할 수 있다. 그러나 단일 $SiO_2$ 절연막을 사용하였을 경우 저장된 전하의 정보 저장능력 및 쓰기/지우기 시간을 향상시키는 데 물리적 두께에 따른 제한이 따른다. 본 연구에서는 터널장벽 엔지니어링을 통하여 물리적인 두께는 단일 $SiO_2$ 보다는 두꺼우나 쓰기/지우기 동작을 위하여 인가되는 전기장에 의하여 상대적으로 전자가 느끼는 상대적인 터널 절연막 두께를 감소시키는 방법으로 동작속도를 향상 시킨 $SiO_2/Si_3N_4/SiO_2$ 및 $Si_3N_4/SiO_2/Si_3N_4$ 터널 절연막을 사용한 금속 실리사이드 나노입자 비휘발성 메모리를 제조하였다. 제조방법은 우선 p-type 실리콘 웨이퍼 위에 100 nm 두께로 증착된 Poly-Si 층을 형성 한 이후 소스와 드레인 영역을 리소그래피 방법으로 형성시켜 트랜지스터의 채널을 형성한 이후 그 상부에 $SiO_2/Si_3N_4/SiO_2$ (2 nm/ 2 nm/ 3 nm) 및 $Si_3N_4/SiO_2/Si_3N_4$ (2 nm/ 3 nm/ 3 nm)를 화학적 증기 증착(chemical vapor deposition)방법으로 형성 시킨 이후, direct current magnetron sputtering 방법을 이용하여 2~5 nm 두께의 $WSi_2$ 및 $TiSi_2$ 박막을 증착하였으며, 나노입자 형성을 위하여 rapid thermal annealing(RTA) system을 이용하여 $800{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$에서 질소($N_2$) 분위기로 1~5분 동안 열처리를 하였다. 이후 radio frequency magnetron sputtering을 이용하여 $SiO_2$ control oxide layer를 30 nm로 증착한 후, RTA system을 이용하여 $900^{\circ}C$에서 30초 동안 $N_2$ 분위기에서 후 열처리를 하였다. 마지막으로 thermal evaporator system을 이용하여 Al 전극을 200 nm 증착한 이후 리소그래피와 식각 공정을 통하여 채널 폭/길이 $2{\sim}5{\mu}m$인 비휘발성 메모리 소자를 제작하였다. 제작된 비휘발성 메모리 소자는 HP 4156A semiconductor parameter analyzer와 Agilent 81101A pulse generator를 이용하여 전기적 특성을 확인 하였으며, 측정 온도를 $25^{\circ}C$, $85^{\circ}C$, $125^{\circ}C$로 변화시켜가며 제작된 비휘발성 메모리 소자의 열적 안정성에 관하여 연구하였다.
