This paper reports a novel micromachining process based on UV-LIGA process and (110) silicon anisotropic etching for fabrication of a high-aspect-ratio comb actuator. The comb electrodes are fabricated by (110) SILICON comb structure considering the etch-rate-ratio between (110) and (111) planes and lateral etch rate of a beam-type structure. The fabricated structure was$ 400\mum \; thick\; and\; 18\mum$ wide comb electrodes separated by $7\mim$ so that the height-gap ratio was about 57. Also considering resonant frequency of the comb actuator and the frequency-matching between sensing and driving mode for gyroscope application, we designed the number, width, height and length of the spring structures. Electroplated gold springs on both sides of the seismic mass were $15\mum\; wide,\; 14\mum\; thick\; and \; 500\mum$ long. The fabricated comb actuator had resonant frequency ay 1430Hz, which was calculated to be 1441Hz. The proposed fabrication process can be applicable to the fabrication of a high-aspect-ratio comb actuator for a large displacement actuator and precision sensors. Moreover, this combined process enables to fabricate a more complex structure which cannot be fabricate only by surface or bulk micromachining.

전류밀도, 70mA/cm2와 전류인가시간, 5초, 10초 조건의 양극반응으로 다공성 실리콘을 제작하여 800~110$0^{\circ}C$에서 열산화시킨 후 AI 전극을 증착시켜 만든 MOS(Metal Oxide Semiconductor) 구조의 C-V(Capacilance-Voltage) 특성을 조사하였다. 800, 90$0^{\circ}C$의 저온과 20~30분 이내의 단시간 산화에서는 산화막의 유전상수가 보통의 열산화막보다 크게 나타나고, 산화온도가 110$0^{\circ}C$의 고온과 60분 이상의 장시간 산화의 경우에는 3.9에 근접한 값을 갖는다. 이는 다공성 실리콘 산화막내에 존재하는 산화되지 않은 silicon들에 의한 효과와 표면적 증가에 의한 정전용량의 증가 효과가 복합적으로 작용하는 것이 그 원인이라 생각된다.

We fabricated (110) silicon hard master by using anisotropic wet etching for embossing. The etching chemical for the silicon wafer was a TMAH $25\%$ solution. The anisotropic wet etching produces a smooth sidewall surface and the surface roughness of the fabricated master is about 3 nm. After spin coating an organic-inorganic sol-gel hybrid material on a silicon substrate, we employed hot embossing technique operated at a low pressure and temperature to form patterns on the silicon substrate by using the fabricated master. We successfully fabricated the multi-mode planar optical waveguides showing low propagation loss of 0.4 dB/cm. The surface roughness of embossed patterns was uniform for more than 10 times of the embossing processes with a single hydrophobic surface treatment of the silicon hard master.

It is identified that the diamond films grown o bias-treated (100) silicon showed different surface morphologies and film textures according to the initial applied dc bias voltage at the same growth condition. The highly oriented diamond film (HODF) was successfully grown on -200 V bias-treated silicon substrate in which the heteroepitaxial relation of $(100)_{dimond}//(100)_{si}\; and\; [110]_{diamond}//[110]_{si}$ was identified. On the contrary, the heteroepitaxial relation was considerably disturbed in the samples bias-voltage was a key factor in growing the highly oriented diamond film on (100) silicon substrate. Considering the experimental results, we proposed a new model about heteroepitaxial diamond growth on silicon, in which 9 diamond unit cell are matched with 4 silicon cells and the bond covalency of both atoms is satisfied via the intermediate layer at the interface as well.

The nanomechanical properties of fully lithiated and unlithiated silicon nanowire deposited on silicon substrate have been studied with atomic force microscopy. Silicon nanowires were synthesized using the vapor-liquid-solid process on stainless steel substrates using Au catalyst. Fully lithiated silicon nanowires were obtained by using the electrochemical method, followed by drop-casting on the silicon substrate. The roughness, derived from a line profile of the surface measured in contact mode atomic force microscopy, has a smaller value for lithiated silicon nanowire and a higher value for unlithiated silicon nanowire. Force spectroscopy was utilitzed to study the influence of lithiation on the tip-surface adhesion force. Lithiated silicon nanowire revealed a smaller value than that of the Si nanowire substrate by a factor of two, while the adhesion force of the silicon nanowire is similar to that of the silicon substrate. The Young's modulus obtained from the force-distance curve, also shows that the unlithiated silicon nanowire has a relatively higher value than lithiated silicon nanowire due to the elastically soft amorphous structures. The frictional forces acting on the tip sliding on the surface of lithiated and unlithiated silicon nanowire were obtained within the range of 0.5-4.0 Hz and 0.01-200 nN for velocity and load dependency, respectively. We explain the trend of adhesion and modulus in light of the materials properties of silicon and lithiated silicon. The results suggest a useful method for chemical identification of the lithiated region during the charging and discharging process.

열연판을 모재로 하여 압연 및 열처리 공정을 조합한 공정을 3회 냉간압연법을 사용하여 최종두께 100$\mu\textrm{m}$로 제작한 방향성 규소강대에 대하여, 직류자기 특성 및 결정입자의 열처리 의존성, 결정방위 등을 조사하였다. 그 결과, (110)면이 거의 시료 전체표면에 성장하는 것이 관측되었으며, B$_{8}$은 1.9 T정도, 평균$\alpha$각은 약 4.6$^{\circ}$이었다. 향후 약간의 (001)조직의 집적도 개선이 추가된다면, 염가의 열연판을 모재로 사용하여 기존의 방향성 규소강판의 경우보다 훨씬 제조공정수를 단순화함으로써, 경제성이 우수한 방향성 극박 규소강대를 제작할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.

We investigated the characteristics of UTB-SOI pMOSFETs with SOI thickness($T_{SOI}$) ranging from 10 nm to 1 nm and evaluated the dependence of electrical characteristics on the silicon surface orientation. As a result, it is found that the subthreshold characteristics of (100)-surface UTB-SOI pMOSFETs were superior to (110)-surface. However, the hole mobility of (110)-surface were larger than that of (100)-surface. Especially, the enhancement of effective hole mobility at the effective field of 0.1 MV/cm was observed from 3-nm to 5-nm SOI thickness range.

플라즈마 에쳐 내에 사용되는 실리콘 전극과 링 부품은 사용 중에 강한 플라즈마와 접촉하면서 주기적인 가열과 냉각 과정을 거친다. 이 때 부품의 표면에서는 열 응력으로 인하여 PSB라고 하는 띠 형상의 결함이 생성되며 이로 인하여 그 수명을 다하게 된다. 원료인 실리콘 잉곳의 관점에서 그 수명에 미치는 인자를 살펴보았다. 잉곳의 등급, 즉 S/F와 S/A에 따라 불순물과 결함의 농도를 GDMS와 ${\mu}$-PCD로 평가하여 잉곳의 어떤 요소들에 의하여 수명이 결정되는가를 분석하였다. 그 결과, {001} 면상에서 관찰되는 <110> 방향의 면 결함들이 PSB와 연결될 가능성이 있음을 제안하였다.

The speed and oscillation directions of elastic waves propagating in the [ab0] direction of a silicon single crystal were obtained by solving Christoffel's equation. It was found that the quasi waves propagate in the off-principal axis, and hence, the directions of the phase and group velocities are not the same. The maximum deviation of the two directions was $7.2^{\circ}$. Two modes of the pure transverse waves propagate in the [110] direction with different speeds, and hence, two peaks were observed in the pulse echo signal. The amplitude ratio of the two peaks was dependent on the initial oscillating direction of the incident wave. The pure and quasi-transverse waves propagate in the [210] direction, and the oscillation directions of these waves are perpendicular to each other. The skewing angle of the quasi wave was calculated as $7.14^{\circ}$, and it was measured as $9.76^{\circ}$. The amplitude decomposition in the [210] direction was similar to that in the [110] direction, since the oscillation directions of these waves are perpendicular to each other. These results offer useful information in measuring the crystal orientation of the silicon single crystal.

본 연구에서는 반구형(HSG) 다결성 실리콘 박막을 제조하여 박막에 존재하는 결정립들의 특성과 각 결정립들의 형성기구를 예측하고자 하였다. LPCVD법으로 실리콘 박막을 증착하여 미세구조를 관찰, 분석한 결과 $575^{\circ}C$ 증착온도에서 HSG 다결정 실리콘 박막이 형성되었음을 관찰하였다. 이 HSG 박막은 비정질 및 결정질 상으로 구성되어 있었으며 결정립은 박막의 표면에 존재하는 upper grain들과 $SiO_{2}$와의계면에 존재하는 lower grain들로 구분되었다. Upper grain은 실리콘 원자의 표면확산에 의하여 형성되었으며, lower grain은 고상성장에 의하여 형성되었다. 성장한 결정립들의 성장방위를 분석한 결과 주로 upper grain은 <110>, lower grain은 <311>과 <111>방위를 나타내었다. 이러한 방위관계는 각 결정립들의 형성기구(formation mechanism)의 차이에 기인한다고 사료된다. 또한 HSG박막의 미세구조와 진공열처리한 시편을 관찰한 결과 HSG 박막의 형성은 실리콘 원자의 표면확산에 의해 지배됨을 알았다.
