유기 화학 기상 증착법(MOCVD)을 이용하여 반응기체 $O_2$의 양 및 Y와 Mn의 운반기체 비(Y/Mn)를 변화시켜가며 Si(100) 기판 위에서 MFSFET(metal-ferroelectric-semiconductor field effect transistor) 구조의 YMnO$_3$박막을 증착하였다. 반응기체 $O_2$의 양이 150sccm일 때 Y/Mn=2와 3인 경우 단일상의 육방정계 YMnO$_3$박막이 형성되었다. YMnO$_3$박막의 전기적 특성은 사방정계 YMnO$_3$박막에서는 나타나지 않았으나, 육방정계 YMnO$_3$박막의 경우 결정립 크기에 영향을 받아 단일상의 육방정계 YMnO$_3$박막 중 결정립 크기가 150nm~200nm(Y/Mn=2)인 경우에는 잔류분극이 100nC/$ extrm{cm}^2$인 P-E 이력곡선의 특성을 나타내었다.

전자싸이클로트론공명플라즈마 화학기상증착법(ECR-PECVD)에 의한 Pt 및 $RuO_2$ 기판에서의 PZT 박막의 증착특성 및 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. $RuO_2$ 기판에서는 Pt 기판에 비하여 Pb-관련 이차상이 형성되기 쉬웠고, PZT 페로브스카이트 핵생성이 어려웠다. 하지만, $RuO_2$ 기판에서도 금속유기 원료기체의 정확한 유량조절(특히, $Pb(DPM)_2$ 유량)과 Ti-oxide 씨앗층의 도입을 통하여 $450^{\circ}C$의 비교적 낮은 증착온도에서 단일한페로브스카이트 박막 제조가 가능하였으며, $RuO_2$ 기판에서도 미세구조가 향상된 PZT 박막의 경우 $10^{-6}A/cm^2@100kV/cm$의 우수한 누설전류 특성을 나타내었다. 4 가지 전극배열의 PZT 커패시터들 중에서 $RuO_2//RuO_2$ 커패시터는 누설전류밀도가 $10^{-4}A/cm^2@100kV/cm$ 정도로 높았지만, 피로현상은 나타나지 않았다. 일방향 전계 (unipolar) 피로특성에서 나타난 polarization-shift 현상과 양방향 전계 (bipolar) 피로특성의 온도의존성 결과는 PZT 박막내 charged defect의 이동이 어려움을 나타내었다. Bipolar 신호에 의한 피로현상은 인가전계에 의한 분극반전 과정에서 Pt 계면에서 charged defect의 형성과 관련이 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 또한, 상하부 전극물질 이 다른 경우에는 상하부 계면의 charged defect 밀도에 차이가 생겨 내부전계가 형성되는 것으로 판단되었다.

Copper thin films have been prepared by a metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) technology on polyimide and TiN substrates. The Cu-MOCVD technology has advantages of the high deposition rate and the good step coverage compared with the conventional physical vapor deposition (PVD) technology in several industrial applications. The Cu films have been deposited with varying the experimental conditions of substrate temperatures and copper source vapor pressures. The films were annealed in a vacuum condition after the deposition, and the annealing effect on the electrical properties of the films was measured. The crystallinity and the microstructures of the films were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the electrical resistivity was measured by 4-point probe. In the case of the Cu deposition on TiN substrate, the best electrical property of the films was measured for the samples prepared at 18$0^{\circ}C$. Very high deposition rate of the Cu film up to 250 nm/min was obtained on the polyimide substrate when the mixture of liquid and vapour precursor was used.

Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) is a polishing process used in the microelectronic fabrication industries to achieve a globally planar wafer surface for the manufacturing of integrated circuits. Pad conditioning plays an important role in the CMP process to maintain a material removal rate (MRR) and its uniformity. For metal CMP process, highly acidic slurry containing strong oxidizer is being used. It would affect the conditioner surface which normally made of metal such as Nickel and its alloy. If conditioner surface is corroded, diamonds on the conditioner surface would be fallen out from the surface. Because of this phenomenon, not only life time of conditioners is decreased, but also more scratches are generated. To protect the conditioners from corrosion, thin organic film deposition on the metal surface is suggested without requiring current conditioner manufacturing process. To prepare the anti-corrosion film on metal conditioner surface, vapor SAM (self-assembled monolayer) and FC (Fluorocarbon) -CVD (SRN-504, Sorona, Korea) films were prepared on both nickel and nickel alloy surfaces. Vapor SAM method was used for SAM deposition using both Dodecanethiol (DT) and Perfluoroctyltrichloro silane (FOTS). FC films were prepared in different thickness of 10 nm, 50 nm and 100 nm on conditioner surfaces. Electrochemical analysis such as potentiodynamic polarization and impedance, and contact angle measurements were carried out to evaluate the coating characteristics. Impedance data was analyzed by an electrical equivalent circuit model. The observed contact angle is higher than 90o after thin film deposition, which confirms that the coatings deposited on the surfaces are densely packed. The results of potentiodynamic polarization and the impedance show that modified surfaces have better performance than bare metal surfaces which could be applied to increase the life time and reliability of conditioner during W CMP.

The nucleation of copper(Cu) with (hfac)iu(VTMS) oganometallic precursor is investigated for Si, $Sio_2$, TiN, $W_2N$ substrates. As the deposition temperature is increased, the dominant growth mechanism is observed to change from the nucleation of Cu particles to the clustering of Cu nuclei around $180^{\ciec}C$, independent of the employed substrates. It is also observed that the cleaning of substrate surfaces with the diluted HF solution improves the selectivity of Cu nucleation between TiN and $Sio_2$ substrates. Dimethyldichlorosilane treatment is found to passivate the surface of TiN substrate, contrary to the generally accepted belief, when the TiN substrate is cleaned by $H_2O_2$ solution before the treatment.

금속 실리사이드는 낮은 비저항, 실리콘과의 좋은 호환성 등으로 배선 contact 물질로 널리 연구되고 있다. 특히 $CoSi_2$는 선폭의 축소와 관계없이 일정하고 낮은 비저항과 열적 안정성이 우수한 특성 등으로 배선 contact 물질로 활발히 연구되고 있다. 금속 실리사이드를 실리콘 평면기판에 형성시키는 방법으로는 열처리를 통한 금속박막과 실리콘 기판 사이에 확산작용을 이용한 SALICIDE (self-algined silicide) 기술이 대표적이며 CoSi2도 이와 같은 방법으로 형성할 수 있다. Co 박막을 증착하는 방법에는 물리적 기상증착법 (PVD)과 유기금속 화학 증착법 등이 보고되어있지만 최근 급격하게 진행 중인 소자구조의 나노화 및 고 단차화에 따라 기존의 증착 기술은 낮은 단차 피복성으로 인하여 한계에 부딪힐 것으로 예상되고 있다. ALD(atomic layer deposition)는 뛰어난 단차 피복성을 가지고 원자단위 두께조절이 용이하여 나노 영역에서의 증착 방법으로 지대한 관심을 받고 있다. 앞선 연구에서 본 연구진은 CoCp2 전구체과 $NH_3$ plasma를 사용하여 Plasma enhanced ALD (PE-ALD)를 이용한 고 순도 저 저항 Co 박막 증착 공정을 개발 하고 이를 SALICIDE 공정에 적용하여 $CoSi_2$ 형성 연구를 보고한 바 있다. 하지만 이 연구에서 PE-ALD Co 박막은 플라즈마 고유의 성질로 인하여 단차 피복성의 한계를 보였다. 이번 연구에서 본 연구진은 Co(AMD)2 전구체와 $NH_3$, $H_2$, $NH_3$ plasma를 반응 기체로 사용하여 Thermal ALD(Th-ALD) Co 및 PE-ALD Co 박막을 증착 하였다. 고 단차 Co 박막의 증착을 위하여 Th-ALD 공정에 초점을 맞추어 Co 박막의 특성을 분석하였으며, Th-ALD 및 PE-ALD 공정으로 증착된 Co 박막의 단차를 비교하였다. 연구 결과 Th-ALD Co 박막은 95% 이상의 높은 단차 피복성을 가져 PE-ALD Co 박막의 단차 피복성에 비해 크게 향상되었음을 확인하였다. 추가적으로, Th-ALD Co 박막에 고 단차 박막의 증착이 가능한 Th-ALD Ru을 capping layer로 이용하여 CoSi2 형성을 확인하였고, 기존의 PVD Ti capping layer와 비교하였다. 이번 연구에서 Co 박막 및 $CoSi_2$ 의 특성 분석을 위하여 X선 반사율 분석법 (XRR), X선 광전자 분광법 (XPS), X선 회절 분석법 (XRD), 주사 전자 현미경 (SEM), 주사 투과 전자 현미경 (STEM) 등을 사용하였다.

InGaAsP/InP uncooled LDs emitting at 1.3$\mu$m wavelength are of interest for several application of fiber-to-the-home, optical interconnection, long-haul high-bit-rate optical transmission systems, etc. The strain compensated PBH-MQW-LD employing 1.4% compressive strained well (${\lambda}=1.3{\mu}m$) and 0.7% tensile strained barrier (${\lambda}=1.12{\mu}m$) layers grown by low pressure metallicorganic vapor phase epitaxy was found to be low threshold current and stable temperature characteristics. The average threshold current of 5.6mA and average slope efficiency of 0.27mW/mA at room temperature were obtained for uncoated uncooled-LD.

There was a great difference in the formation kinetics of $TiO_2$ and $Bi_2O_3$ on silicon, but the growth of bismuth titanate (BIT) thin film was mainly limited by the formation of $TiO_2$. As a result, the BIT film was easy to be lack of bismuth. The pulse injection metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) process was introduced in order to overcome this problem by recovering the insufficient bismuth content in the film. By this pulse injection method, bismuth content was increased and also the uniform in-depth composition of the film was attained with a abrupt $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}/Si$ interface. In addition, the crystallinity of $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ thin film prepared by pulse injection process was greatly improved and the leakage current density was lowered by 1/2~1/3 of magnitude. Clockwise hysteresis of C-V was observed and the ferroelectric switching was confirmed for $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ film deposited by pulse injection method.
