Effect of high temperature annealing conditions on Ta$_{2}O_{5}$ thin films was investigated. Ta$_{2}O_{5}$ thin films were deposited on P-type silicon substrates by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) using tantalum ethylate. Ta(C$_{2}H_{5}O)_{5}$, and nitrous oxide. N$_{2}$O. The microstructure changed from amorphous to polycrystalline above 700.deg. C annealing temperature. The refractive index, dielectric onstant and leakage current of the film increased as annealing temperature increased. However, annealing in oxygen ambient reduced leakage currents and dielectric constant due to the formation of interfacial SiO$_{2}$ layer. By optimizing annealing temperature and ambient, leakage current lower than 10$^{-8}$ A/cm$^{2}$ and maximum capacitance of 9 fF/${\mu}m^{2}$ could be obtained.

초고집적 회로의 미세화에 따라 다층배선에서 기생저항(parasitic resistance)과 정전 용량의 증가는 RC시정수(time constant)의 증가로 인하여 소자의 동작속도를 제한하고 있 다. 이로 인하여 발생되는 배선지연의 문제를 해결하기 위하여 매우 낮은 유전상수를 갖는 층간 절연물질이 필요하다. 이러한 저유전상수 층간절연물질로서 현재 유기계 물질중의 하 나인 a-C:F이 주목받고 있는 물질이다. 본 연구에서는 ECRCVD를 이용하여 a-C:F박막과 Si기판사이의 밀착력을 향상시키기 위하여 a-C:H박막을 500$\AA$증착한 후 a-C:F을 증착전력 500W에서 원료가스의 유량비($C_2F_6, CH_4/(C_2F_6+CH_4)$))를 0~1.0까지 변화시키면서 상온에서 증착하 였다. a-C:F박막의 특성은 SEM, FT0IR, XPS, C-V meter와 AFM등을 이용하여 두께, 결 합상태, 유전상수, 표면형상 및 표면 거칠기를 관찰하였다. a-C:F박막에서 불소함량은 가스 유량비가 1.0일 경우에는 최대 약31at.%정도 검출되었으며, 가스 유량비가 증가됨에 따라 증 가하였다. 또한 유전상수는 a-C:H의 유전상수 $\varepsilon$=3.8에서 $\varepsilon$=2.35까지 감소하였다. 이는 영 구 쌍극자 모멘트가 1.5인 C-H결합은 감소하고 영구 쌍극자 모멘트가 0.6, 0.5인 CF, CF2결 합이 증가하였기 때문이다. 하지만 $400^{\circ}C$에서 질소분위기로 1시간 동안 furnace열처리 후에 가스유량비가 1.0인 a-C:F박막에서 불소의 함량이 감소하여 C-F결합이 줄어들었다. 이로 인하여 유전상수가 열처리전의 2.7에서 열처리후 3.2까지 상승하였다.

P-type transparent conducting $CuGaO_2$ thin films have been prepared by DC/RF sputtering using Quartz(0001) and sapphire(0001) substrates. The target was fabricated by heating a stoichiometric mixture of CuO and $Ga_2O_3$ at 1373K for 12h under $N_2$ atmosphere. The film were deposited under mixture gas of Ar and $O_2(Ar:O_2=4:1)$ during 10~30min. and the as-deposited films were annealed at 1123K and $N_2$ atmosphere. Room temperature conductivity and the activation energy of the sintered body in the temperature range of 223K ~ 423K were 0 004S/cm, 1.9eV, respectively. XRD revealed that all of the as-deposited films were amorphous. Heating of the films deposited on Quartz substrates above 1123K resulted in crystallization with a second phase of $CuSiO_3$, which was assumed owing to reaction with Quartz substrate. The single phase of $CuGaO_2$ was obtained at the film deposited on the sapphire substrates. The transmittance after annealing of DC- and RF-sputtered films were 55~75% at 550nm. From the transmittance and reflectance measurement. the direct band gap of the DC/RF-sputtered films were 3.63eV and 3.57eV. and there was little difference between DC and RF sputtered films.

Details are given of an study of the characteristics of field-induced electron emission from hydrogen-free high $sp^3$ content(>90%) amorphous diamond (a-D) film deposited on heavily doped ($\rho$<0.01 $\Omega\cdot\textrm{cm}$) n-type monocrystalline Si(111) substrate. It is demonstrated that a-D film has excellent electron field emission properties. Emission current can reach 0.9 $\mu$A at applied field as low as 1 V/$\mu\textrm{m}$, and emission current density can be obtained about several mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$. The emission current is stable when the beginning current is at 50 $\mu$A within 72 hours. Uniform fluorescence display of electron emission from whole face of the a-D film under the electric field of 10~20 V/$\mu\textrm{m}$ was also observed. It can be considered that the contribution of excellent electron emission property results from its smooth, uniform, amorphous surface and high $sp^3$ content of the a-D films.

Many researchers are interested in the synthesis and characterization of carbon nitride and diamond-like carbon (DLq because they show excellent mechanical properties such as low friction and high wear resistance and excellent electrical properties such as controllable electical resistivity and good field electron emission. We have deposited amorphous carbon nitride (a-C:N) thin films and DLC thin films by shielded arc ion plating (SAIP) and evaluated the structural and tribological properties. The application of appropriate negative bias on substrates is effective to increase the film hardness and wear resistance. This paper reports on the deposition and tribological OLC films in relation to the substrate bias voltage (Vs). films are compared with those of the OLC films. A high purity sintered graphite target was mounted on a cathode as a carbon source. Nitrogen or argon was introduced into a deposition chamber through each mass flow controller. After the initiation of an arc plasma at 60 A and 1 Pa, the target surface was heated and evaporated by the plasma. Carbon atoms and clusters evaporated from the target were ionized partially and reacted with activated nitrogen species, and a carbon nitride film was deposited onto a Si (100) substrate when we used nitrogen as a reactant gas. The surface of the growing film also reacted with activated nitrogen species. Carbon macropartic1es (0.1 -100 maicro-m) evaporated from the target at the same time were not ionized and did not react fully with nitrogen species. These macroparticles interfered with the formation of the carbon nitride film. Therefore we set a shielding plate made of stainless steel between the target and the substrate to trap the macropartic1es. This shielding method is very effective to prepare smooth a-CN films. We, therefore, call this method "shielded arc ion plating (SAIP)". For the deposition of DLC films we used argon instead of nitrogen. Films of about 150 nm in thickness were deposited onto Si substrates. Their structures, chemical compositions and chemical bonding states were analyzed by using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and infrared spectroscopy. Hardness of the films was measured with a nanointender interfaced with an atomic force microscope (AFM). A Berkovich-type diamond tip whose radius was less than 100 nm was used for the measurement. A force-displacement curve of each film was measured at a peak load force of 250 maicro-N. Load, hold and unload times for each indentation were 2.5, 0 and 2.5 s, respectively. Hardness of each film was determined from five force-displacement curves. Wear resistance of the films was analyzed as follows. First, each film surface was scanned with the diamond tip at a constant load force of 20 maicro-N. The tip scanning was repeated 30 times in a 1 urn-square region with 512 lines at a scanning rate of 2 um/ s. After this tip-scanning, the film surface was observed in the AFM mode at a constant force of 5 maicro-N with the same Berkovich-type tip. The hardness of a-CN films was less dependent on Vs. The hardness of the film deposited at Vs=O V in a nitrogen plasma was about 10 GPa and almost similar to that of Si. It slightly increased to 12 - 15 GPa when a bias voltage of -100 - -500 V was applied to the substrate with showing its maximum at Vs=-300 V. The film deposited at Vs=O V was least wear resistant which was consistent with its lowest hardness. The biased films became more wear resistant. Particularly the film deposited at Vs=-300 V showed remarkable wear resistance. Its wear depth was too shallow to be measured with AFM. On the other hand, the DLC film, deposited at Vs=-l00 V in an argon plasma, whose hardness was 35 GPa was obviously worn under the same wear test conditions. The a-C:N films show higher wear resistance than DLC films and are useful for wear resistant coatings on various mechanical and electronic parts.nic parts.

The $CO_2$ gas responsibility of $SnO_2$ thin films was researched with various annealing temperatures. $SnO_2$ was prepared on n-type Si substrate by RF magnetron sputtering system and annealed in a vacuum condition. The bonding structure of $SnO_2$ was changed from amorphous to crystal structure with increasing the annealing temperature, and the content of oxygen vacancy was researched the highest of the annealed at $60^{\circ}C$. The $SnO_2$ annealed at $60^{\circ}C$ had the characteristics of the highest capacitance. The special properties of $CO_2$ gas responsibility was found at the $SnO_2$ thin film annealed at $60^{\circ}C$ with amorphous structure because of the combination with the oxygen vacancies and $CO_2$ gases changed the resistivity. The amorphous structure enhanced the responsibility at the $SnO_2$ surface and the conductivity of $SnO_2$ thin film.

유기금속 화학 증착 방법(MOCVD)을 사용하여 Si 기판 위에 Ga₂O₃ 박막들을 다양한 성장 온도에서 형성하였다. 성장 온도 500℃와 550℃에서 성장한 Ga₂O₃ 박막들은 매우 깨끗하고 평평한 표면 상태를 보였으며, 결정구조는 비정 질 상태임을 확인할 수 있었다. 성장한 박막들의 열처리 효과를 확인하기 위하여 각각의 박막들은 900℃ 온도에서 10분간 열처리를 수행하였다. 성장 온도 500℃와 550℃에서 성장한 박막들은 초기의 평평한 표면 상태는 그대로 유지하면서 결정 구조가 비정질에서 다결정으로 변한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 쇼트키 다이오드를 제작하기 위한 박막으로는 550℃에서 성장한 박막을 선택하였는데, 이는 소자의 제작 및 성능을 향상하기 위해서는 평평한 표면 위에서의 공정이 필수적이기 때문이다. 또한, 열처리 효과를 확인하기 위하여 900℃에서 열처리를 실시한 박막을 이용하여 동일한 형태의 쇼트키 다이오드를 제작하여 특성을 비교하였다. 또한 박막의 광소자로의 응용 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 MSM(metal-semiconductor-metal) 광검출기를 제작한 결과 266 nm 자외선 파장의 빛에 대응하는 광전류(동작 전압 10 V)는 암전류 대비 약 5.32배 증가함을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.
