The correlation of surface morphology and magnetic property of NiFe thin films on Si(001) deposited by RF-magnetron sputter has been investigated, using AFM, XRD and MR measurements. During short field annealing for 15 min, there was no significant change in XRD patterns of NiFe thin films. However, the degree of surface roughness was changed with increasing annealing temperature. With variation of surface roughness, there was significant difference in MR characteristics of NiFe thin films. In the case of as-deposited NiFe thin films(T$\_$G/ = 150$^{\circ}C$) and UFA400 (T$\_$A/ = 400$^{\circ}C$) having smooth surface, good linearity of MR Curve was observed.

We have fabricated the pyrex glass microlens using thermal reflow process. Fabricated microlens is the plano convex refractive type and was fabricated with pyrex glass-Si anodic bonding wafer. The etched circle or cylindrical pyrex glass pattern was melted in a furnace $800^{\circ}C$ to $900^{\circ}C$ for about 15min. The surface roughness of the microlenses was measured by the AFM and average surface roughness of the microlenses was below 15min. The radius of curvature of the microlens was measured with phase shift interferometer.

Growth of cubic SiC has been carried out on oxided Si substrate using atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD). Hexamethyldisilane (HMDS) was used as the single precursor and nonflammable mixture of Ar and $H_2$ was used as carrier gas. Epitaxial growth had performed depositions under the various $H_2$ conditions which were adjusted from 0 to 100 seem. The effects of $H_2$ was characterized by surface roughness, thickness uniformity, films quality and elastic modulus. Thickness uniformity and films quality were performed by SEM. Surface roughness and elastic modulus were investigated by AFM and Nano-indentor, respectively. According to the $H_2$ flow rate, Poly 3C-SiC thin film quality was improved not only physical but also mechanical properties.

We investigated the interfacial reactions between the $Y_2O_3$ film deposited by ICB processing and p-type (100) Si substrates upon annealing treatments in $O_2$ and Ar gas ambients. we also investigated the evolution of surface morphology of ICB deposited $Y_2O_3$ films upon annealing treatments. We observed that the root-mean-square(RMS) value of surface roughness measured by AFM increased with annealing time at $800^{\circ}C$ in $O_2$ ambient, while the change of surface roughness was not observed in Ar ambient. We also found the growth of $SiO_2$ layer and the formation of yttium silicate layer. From the capacitance values $(C_{acc})$ measured by C-V measurements, the relative didldctric constant of $Y_2O_3$ film in metal-insulator-semiconductor(MIS) structure was estimated to be about 9.

In this study, we fabricated the master metallic nano-stamper with nano pillar patterns to apply replication processes which is adequate for mass production. Master nano patterns with various hole diameters between 300 nm and 1000 nm was fabricated by e-beam lithography. After the seed layer was deposited on the master nano patterns using e-beam evaporation, the nickel was electroformed. In each step, the shape and surface roughness of their patterns were analyzed using SEM and AFM.

We fabricated the Polyamide 4,6 (PA46) thin film using Adipoyl chloride and 1,4-butadiamine. PA46 film was grown at $70^{\circ}C$ by Molecular Layer Deposition (MLD) method. MLD is sequential and self-terminating fabrication method for organic thin film. The growth rate of PA46 is $3.5{\acute{\AA}}$ cycle. The thickness of PA46 film was measured by Ellipsometer. Surface morphology of this film was investigated by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and roughness is directly proportional to number of growing cycles.

CMP(Chemical Mechanical Polishing)는 반도체 소자 제조공정 중 다층 배선구조의 평탄 경면화에 널리 이용되고 있다. 차세대 웨이퍼로 각광받는 SOI(Silicon On Insulator) 웨이퍼 제조공정 중 웨이퍼 표면 미소 거칠기를 개선하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 여러 가지 가공변수(슬러리와 연마패드)에 따른 CMP 연마능률과 표면 미소 거칠기 변화에 대해 연구하였다. 결과적으로 연마능률은 슬러리의 입자 크기가 증가할수록 이에 따라 증가하였으며, 미소 거칠기는 슬러리의 연마입자보다는 연마패드에 영향이 더욱 지배적이다. AFM(Atomic Force Microscope)에 의한 평가에서 표면 미소 거칠기가 27 $\AA$ Rms에서 0.64 $\AA$ Rms로 개선됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

Polyimides (PI) are treated with $He/O_2$ and $He/O_2/NF_3$ atmospheric pressure rf dielectric barrier discharge in order to investigate the roles of $NF_3$ that is one of the PI etching gases. Surface changes are analyzed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and contact angle measurement. The surface roughness of PI and the ratio of C=O, which is hydrophilic functional group, is more increased by $He/O_2/NF_3$ discharge than by $He/O_2$ discharge. The C=O species on the PI surface is increased up to 30 percent with rf power. The surface roughness of PI is increased from 0.4 to 11 nm with rf power. The water drop contact angles on PI, however, are reduced from $65^{\circ}\;to\;9^{\circ}$ by plasma treatment independently of $NF_3$.

The BST (Ba$_{1-x}$ Sr$_{x}$TiO$_{3}$)(50/50) thin film has been grown by RF magnetron reactive sputtering and its characteristics such as crystallization, surface roughness, and electrical properties have been investigated with varying the film thickness. The crystallization and surface roughness of BST thin film are investigated by using XRD and AFM, respectively The BST thin film anealed at 800.deg. C for 2 min has pure perovskite structure and good surface roughness of 16.1.angs.. We estimate that the thickness and dielectric constant of interface layer between BST film and electrode are 3nm and 18.9, respectively, by measuring the capacitance with various film thickness. As the film thickness increases form 80nm to 240nm, the dielectric constant at 10kHz increases from 199 to 265 and the leakage current density at 200kV/cm decreases from 0.682.mu.A/cm$^{2}$ to 0.181 .mu.A/cm$^{2}$. In the case of 240nm-thick BST thin film, the charge storage density and leakage current density at 5V are 50.5fC/.mu.m$^{2}$ and 0.182.mu.A/cm$^{2}$, respectively. The values indicate that the BST thin film is a very useful dielectric material for the DRAM capacitor.or.

Recently, research on a flat panel display(FPD) has focused on organic light-emitting display(OLED) which has wide angle of view, high contrast ratio and low power consumption. ITO(Indium-Tin-Oxide) films are the most widely used material as a transparent electrode of OLED and also in many other display devices like LCD or PDP. The performance and efficiency of OLED is related to the surface condition of ITO coated glass substrate. The typical surface defect of glass substrate is measured for electric characteristics and physical condition for transmittance and roughness. Since ITO coated glass substrate can be destroyed for inspection about surface roughness, sheet resistance, film thickness and transmittance, precise fabrication condition should be made based on the estimated relationship. In this paper, ITO films were prepared on the commercial glass substrate by the Ion-Plating method changing the partial pressure of gas(Ar, 02) and the chamber temperature between $200^{\circ}C$ and $300^{\circ}C$. The characteristics of films were examined by the 4-point probe, supersonic thickness measurement, transmittance measurement and AFM. We estimated the relationship between processing parameters(Ar gas, O2 gas, Temperature) and properties of ITO films (Sheet Resistance, Film Thickness, Transmittance, Surface Roughness).
