To investigate the influence of temperature on the TiN film, it was deposited on the STC-3 steel and Si-wafer from $TiCl_4/N_2/H_2$ gas mixture by using the radio frequency plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition. The deposition was performed at temperature of $400^{\circ}C-500^{\circ}C$. The results showed that crystalline TiN film was deposited over $480^{\circ}C$, and all specimens showed the crystalline TiN X-ray diffraction peaks after vacuum heat treatment for 3 hrs, at $1000^{\circ}C$, $10^{-5}torr$. While the film thickness was increased above $480^{\circ}C$, it was decreased under $480^{\circ}C$ as temperature increased. And the contents of titanium were increased and it of chlorine were decreased as temperature increased. Because temperature increase was attributed to the increase in the density of TiN film, surface hardness of TiN film was increased with temperature.

Ionized Cluster Beam Deposition(ICBD)방법을 이용하여 Si(100)기판과 TiN(60 nm)/Si(100)기판위에 Al 박막을 증착하였다. 증착된 Al 박막의 증착특성은 $\alpha$-step, four-point-probe, XRD, SEM, AES 측정장치를 가지고 조사해 보았다. 도가니 온도가 증가함에 따라 Al 박막의 증착속도는 증가하였고 비저항 값은 감소하였다. 도가니 온도가 $1800^{\circ}C$인 경우 가속전압이 증가함에 따라 연속적이며 평평한 박막이 형성되고 비저항이 감소되었다. 최소의 비저항 값은 Si 기판에서는 가속전압이 4 kV일 때 3.4 $\mu \Omega \textrm {cm}$, TiN 기판에서는 가속전압이 2kV일 때 3.6 $\mu \Omega \textrm {cm}$. AES 분석결과 형성된 박막내에서는 불순물이 존재하지 않는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 Al 박막의 비저항은 박막충의 미세구조에 의해 영향을 받는다.

국내외 썬글라스 반미러 코팅렌즈의 광학적 특성을 파악하기 위해, 분광광도계를 이용하여 반미러 코팅렌즈의 반사율을 측정하였으며, Macleod 프로그램을 이용해 계산한 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 또한 황금 색깔이 나는 TiN을 이용한 반미러 코팅렌즈를 설계하였고, 광학특성을 조사하였다. 반미러 코팅렌즈의 분석결과, 은색 투톤(two tone) 반미러 코팅은 금속 크롬(Cr)을 사용하였으며 경도를 증가시키기 위하여 크롬위에 $SiO_2$(또는 $Al_2O_3$)를 증착하여 사용하였다. 크롬 위에 증착되는 $SiO_2$의 두께는 10nm 정도가 적정한 것으로 판단된다. 칼라 반미러 코팅의 경우 디자인 결과는 각각 다음과 같다 ; blue 계열은 [air|$SiO_2$(66.3)|$TiO_2$(129.0)|$SiO_2$(62.9)|$SiO_2$(26.0)|$TiO_2$(120.3)|$SiO_2$(9.1)|glass]이며, gold 계열은 [air|$SiO_2$(60.6)|$TiO_2$(86.2)|$SiO_2$(13.5)|$TiO_2$(86.8)|$SiO_2$(214.38)|glass]이며, green 계열은 [air|$SiO_2$(74.3)|$TiO_2$(75.8)|$SiO_2$(44.3)|$TiO_2$(11.6)|$SiO_2$(160.8)|$TiO_2$(12.9)|$SiO_2$(183.3)|$TiO_2$(143.8)|glass]이며, silver 계열은 [air|$SiO_2$(21.2)|$TiO_2$(49.7)|$SiO_2$(149.3)|glass]이다. white 반미러 코팅인 경우는 [air|$SiO_2$(17nm)|$TiO_2$(43nm)(또는 $ZrO_2$)|$SiO_2$(87nm) polysiloxane($4.46{\mu}m$)|glass or CR-39]이며, 가시광선 영역(400~700 nm)에서 평균 19%의 반사율을 가지며 흡수가 적기 때문에 약 80%의 투과율을 보이는 white 타입의 반미러가 되게 된다. 황금빛 색깔을 띠는 반미러 코팅렌즈의 설계에 있어서 [air|$SiO_2$(170nm)|TiN(15nm)|glass]가 되면 CIE 좌표값은 거의 [air|Au(150nm)|glass]의 좌표값과 유사해지는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

Effects of boron and carbon on the densification and thermal decomposition of an AlN-SiC-$TiB_2$ system were investigated. $SiO_2$ was mostly removed by the addition of carbon, while $Al_2O_3$ formed $Al_4O_4C$ and promoted the densification of the systems above $1850^{\circ}C$. Rather porous specimens were obtained without the additives after hot pressing at $2100^{\circ}C$, while densification was mostly completed at $2000^{\circ}C$ by using the additives. The sintering temperature decreased further to $1950^{\circ}C$ by applying spark plasma sintering. The additives promoted the shrinkage of AlN by forming a liquid phase which was originated from the carbo- and boro-thermal reduction of $Al_2O_3$ and AlN.

Titanium nitride (TiN) thin films have useful properties including high hardness, good electrical conductivity, high melting point, and chemical inertness. The applications have included wear-resistant hard coatings on machine tools and bearings, decorative coating making use of the golden color, thermal control coatings for widows, and erosion resistant coatings for spacecraft plasma probes. For all these applications as feature sizes shrink and aspect ratios grow, the issue of good step coverage becomes increasingly important. It is therefore essential to manufacture conformal coatings of TiN. The growth of TiN thin films by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is of great interest for achieving conformal deposition. The most widely used precursor for TiN is TiCl4 and NH3. However, chlorine impurity in the as-grown films and relatively high deposition temperature (>$600^{\circ}C$) are considered major drawbacks from actual device fabrication. To overcome these problems, recently, MOCVD processes including plasma assisted have been suggested. In this study, therefore, we have doposited Ti(C, N) thin films on Si(100) and D2 steel substrates in the temperature range of 150-30$0^{\circ}C$ using tetrakis diethylamido titanium (TDEAT) and titanium isopropoxide (TIP) by pulsed DC plamsa enhanced metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (PEMOCVD) method. Polycrystalline Ti(C, N) thin films were successfully grown on either D2 steel or Si(100) surfaces at temperature as low as 15$0^{\circ}C$. Compositions of the as-grown films were determined with XPS and RBS. From XPS analysis, thin films of Ti(C, N) with low oxygen concentration were obtained. RBS data were also confirmed the changes of stoichiometry and microhardness of our films. Radical formation and ionization behaviors in plasma are analyzed by optical emission spectroscopy (OES) at various pulsed bias and gases conditions. H2 and He+H2 gases are used as carrier gases to compare plasma parameter and the effect of N2 and NH3 gases as reactive gas is also evaluated in reduction of C content of the films. In this study, we fond that He and H2 mixture gas is very effective in enhancing ionization of radicals, especially N resulting is high hardness. The higher hardness of film is obtained to be ca. 1700 HK 0.01 but it depends on gas species and bias voltage. The proper process is evident for H and N2 gas atmosphere and bias voltage of 600V. However, NH3 gas highly reduces formation of CN radical, thereby decreasing C content of Ti(C, N) thin films in a great deal. Compared to PVD TiN films, the Ti(C, N) film grown by PEMOCVD has very good conformability; the step coverage exceeds 85% with an aspect ratio of more than 3.

The application of TEM in investigating the evolution of microstructure during solid phase crystallization of the amorphous Si, $Si_{1-x}Ge_x,\;and\;Si_{1-x}Ge_x/Si$ films deposited on $SiO_2$ substrate, in identifying the failure mechanism of the TiN barrier layer in the Cu-metallization scheme, and in comparing the microstructure of the as-deposited Cu-Cr and Cu-Ti alloy films are discussed. First, it is identified that the evolution of microstructure in Si and $Si_{1-x}Ge_x$ alloy films strongly depends on the concentration of Ge in the film. Second, the failure mechanism of the TiN diffusion barrier in the Cu-metallization is the migration of the Cu into the Si substrate, which results in the formation of a dislocation along the Si {111} plane and precipitates (presumably $Cu_{3}Si$) around the dislocation. Finally, the microstructure of the as-deposited Cu-Cr and Cu-Ti alloy films is also quite different in these two cases. From these several cases, we demonstrate that the information which we obtained using TEM is critical in understanding the behavior of materials.

There is a close relationship between the performance and the heat generation of the electronic device. Heat generation causes a significant degradation of the durability and/or efficiency of the device. It is necessary to have an effective method to release the generated heat. Based on demands of the printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing, it is necessary to develop a robust and reliable plating technique for substrates with high thermal conductivity, such as alumina ($Al_2O_3$), aluminium nitride (AlN), and silicon nitride ($Si_3N_4$). In this study, the plating of metal layers on an insulating silicon nitride ($Si_3N_4$) ceramic substrate was developed. We formed a Pd-$TiO_2$ adhesion layer and used APTES(3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane) to form OH groups on the surface and adhere the metal layer on the insulating $Si_3N_4$ substrate. We used an electroless Ni plating without sensitization/activation process, as Pd particles were nucleated on the $TiO_2$ layer. The electrical resistivity of Ni and Cu layers is $7.27{\times}10^{-5}$ and $1.32{\times}10^{-6}ohm-cm$ by 4 point prober, respectively. The adhesion strength is 2.506 N by scratch test.

A 30-kV plasma immersion ion implantation setup (P $I^3$) has been equipped with a self-developed 6'-magnetron to perform hard coatings with enhanced adhesion by P $I^3$D(P $I^3$ assisted deposition) process. Using ICP source with immersed Ti antenna and reactive magnetron sputtering of Ti target in $N_2$/Ar ambient gas mixture, the TiN films were prepared on Si substrates at different pulse bias and ion-to-atom arrival ratio ( $J_{i}$ $J_{Me}$ ). Prior to TiN film formation the nitrogen implantation was performed followed by deposition of Ti buffer layer under A $r^{+}$ irradiation. Films grown at $J_{i}$ $J_{Me}$ =0.003 and $V_{pulse}$=-20kV showed columnar grain morphology and (200) preferred orientation while those prepared at $J_{i}$ $J_{Me}$ =0.08 and $V_{pulse}$=-5 kV had dense and eqiaxed structure with (111) and (220) main peaks. X-ray diffraction patterns revealed some amount of $Ti_{x}$ $N_{y}$ in the films. The maximum microhardness of $H_{v}$ =35 GN/ $M^2$ was at the pulse bias of -5 kV. The P $I^3$D technique was applied to enhance wear properties of commercial tools of HSS (SKH51) and WC-Co alloy (P30). The specimens were 25-kV PII nitrogen implanted to the dose 4.10$^{17}$ c $m^{-2}$ and then coated with 4-$\mu\textrm{m}$ TiN film on $Ti_{x}$ $N_{y}$ buffer layer. Wear resistance was compared by measuring weight loss under sliding test (6-mm $Al_2$ $O_3$ counter ball, 500-gf applied load). After 30000 cycles at 500 rpm the untreated P30 specimen lost 3.10$^{-4}$ g, and HSS specimens lost 9.10$^{-4}$ g after 40000 cycles while quite zero losses were demonstrated by TiN coated specimens.s.
