Ga₂O₃/n-type 4H-SiC heterojunction diodes were fabricated by RF magnetron sputtering. The optical properties of Ga₂O₃ and electrical properties of diodes were investigated. I-V characteristics were compared with simulation data from the Atlas software. The band gap of Ga₂O₃ was changed from 5.01 eV to 4.88 eV through oxygen annealing. The doping concentration of Ga₂O₃ was extracted from C-V characteristics. The annealed oxygen exhibited twice higher doping concentration. The annealed diodes showed improved turn-on voltage (0.99 V) and lower leakage current (3 pA). Furthermore, the oxygen-annealed diodes exhibited a temperature cross-point when temperature increased, and its ideality factor was lower than that of as-grown diodes.

Phase stability and morphological investigation on the $Si/SiO_2/HfO_2$ and $Si/SiO_2/ZrO_2$ stack are presented. Thermal stability of $HfO_2$ and $ZrO_2$ determines the quality of interface and subsequently the performance of device. The stacks have been fabricated and annealed at $1000^{\circ}C$ for various time. In evolution of crystalline phase and morphology (electrical and geometrical) of high-k materials, annealing time and process are observed to be crucial factors. The crystallization of some phase has been observed in the case of $Si/SiO_2/HfO_2$. The chemical environment around Zr and Hf in respective samples is observed to be different.

The Sr$\_$0.7/Bi$\_$2.3/Ta$_2$O$\_$9/(SBT)thin films are deposited on Pt-coated electrode (Pt/TiO$_2$/SiO$_2$/Si) using a RE magnetron sputtering method. The ferroelectric properties of SBT capacitors with annealing times were studied. As a result of conducting the X-ray diffraction analysis and the electron microscopy analysis, the perovskite phase began to grow from 10 minutes after annealing the specimen, and excellent crystallization was accomplished at 60 minutes after annealing the specimen. The remanet polarization (2P$\_$r/) value and the coercive electric field (E$\_$c/) of the SBT thin film specimen showed the most excellent characteristics at 60 minutes after annealing the specimen, which were approximately 12.40 C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 30 kV/cm, respectively. The leakage current density of the SBT thin film specimen as annealed for 60 minutes was approximately 2.81${\times}$10$\^$－9/A/$\textrm{cm}^2$.

NAND형 charge trap flash (CTF) non-volatile memory (NVM) 소자가 30nm node 이하로 고집적화 되면서, 기존의 SONOS형 CTF NVM의 tunnel barrier로 쓰이는 SiO2는 direct tunneling과 stress induced leakage current (SILC)등의 효과로 인해 data retention의 감소 등 물리적인 한계에 이르렀다. 이에 따라 개선된 retention과 빠른 쓰기/지우기 속도를 만족시키기 위해서 tunnel barrier engineering (TBE)가 제안되었다. TBE NVM은 tunnel layer의 전위장벽을 엔지니어드함으로써 낮은 전압에서 전계의 민감도를 향상 시켜 동일한 두께의 단일 SiO2 터널베리어 보다 빠른 쓰기/지우기 속도를 확보할 수 있다. 또한 최근에 각광받는 high-k 물질을 TBE NVM에 적용시키는 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 본 연구에서는 Si3N4와 HfAlO (HfO2 : Al2O3 = 1:3)을 적층시켜 staggered의 새로운 구조의 tunnel barrier Capacitor를 제작하여 전기적 특성을 후속 열처리 온도와 방법에 따라 평가하였다. 실험은 n-type Si (100) wafer를 RCA 클리닝 실시한 후 Low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD)를 이용하여 Si3N4 3 nm 증착 후, Atomic layer deposition (ALD)를 이용하여 HfAlO를 3 nm 증착하였다. 게이트 전극은 e-beam evaporation을 이용하여 Al를 150 nm 증착하였다. 후속 열처리는 수소가 2% 함유된 질소 분위기에서 $300^{\circ}C$와 $450^{\circ}C$에서 Forming gas annealing (FGA) 실시하였고 질소 분위기에서 $600^{\circ}C{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$까지 Rapid thermal annealing (RTA)을 각각 실시하였다. 전기적 특성 분석은 후속 열처리 공정의 온도와 열처리 방법에 따라 Current-voltage와 Capacitance-voltage 특성을 조사하였다.

In this study, $Al_2O_3/TaAlO_4/SiO_2$ (A/TAlO/S) structures with tantalum aluminate charge trap layer were fabricated for Nand flash memory device. We evaluated the memory window and retention characteristic as the thickness of the tunnel oxide was varied among 3 nm, 4 nm, and 5 nm. All tunnel oxide thicknesses were measured by ellipsometer and TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope). The A/TAlO/S multi-layer film consisted of 5 nm tunnel oxide showed the best result of memory window of 1.57 V and retention characteristics. After annealing the 5 nm tunnel oxide A/TAlO/S multi-layer film at $900^{\circ}C$. The memory window decreased to 1.32 V. Moreover, the TEM images confirmed that the thickness of multi-layer structure decreased 14.3% after annealing and the program conditions of A/TAlO/S multi-layer film decreased from 13 V to 11 V for 100 ms. Retention properties of both as-deposited and annealed films stably maintained until to $10^4$ cycles.

Silicon nitride ($SiN_x$) 박막이 상온에서 $SiO_2/Si$ 기판 위에 반응성 직류 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방법에 의하여 증착되었다. 증착된 $SiN_x$ 박막의 조성은 x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy를 이용하여 분석되었으며 Si가 풍부한 $SiN_x$ 박막이 증착되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 증착된 $SiN_x$ 박막은 annealing 온도와 시간을 변화하여 annealing 되었다. X-ray diffraction (XRD) 분석이 $SiN_x$ 박막 내에 Si의 결정화를 조사하기 위해서 수행되었고, 박막의 광학적 특성과 전기적 특성들이 Si nanodot의 형성을 확인하기 위하여 측정되었다. 그 결과로써, XRD 분석에서 Si으로 예상되어지는 peak을 관찰할 수 있었으며 annealing 시간과 온도가 증가함에 따라서 $SiN_x$ 박막의 photoluminescence intensity는 점진적으로 증가하는 것이 관찰되었다. Annealing 전과 후에 측정된 $SiN_x$ 박막의 capacitance-voltage 특성으로부터 $SiN_x$ 박막 내에 존재하는 Si nanodot에 의하여 electron이나 hole의 trap 효과가 나타남을 예상할 수 있었다.

In this study, the structural and microwave dilelectric properties of 0.15BaO-0.15SmS12TOSI3T-0.7TiOS12T ceramics with sintering and annealing conditions were investigated. In the specimen sintered at 1350 [$^{\circ}C$], dielectric constant and quality factor were good values of 80.19,2006 (fS10T=4.6851[GHz]). To improve the $\tau$S1fT of specimen which was manufactured by the optimumsintering condition (1350[$^{\circ}C$],2[Hr.]), annealed from 2[hr.] to 16[hr.] at the annealing temperature of 1200 [$^{\circ}C$]. Increasing the annealing time, dielectric constant was almost constant and quality factor was increased. In the specimen of 4[hr.] annealed, the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency was minimum value, and increased with increasing the annealing time.

SBN60 and SBN60/30 thin films were deposited by ion beam sputtering technique. Using the ceramic target of the same composition and Pt(100)/$TiO_2$/$SiO_2$/Si or Pt(111)/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate, crystallization and orientation behavior as well as electric properties of the films were examined, Thickness was controlled to $3000{\AA}$ and the films were heat-treated at $650^{\circ}C{\sim}800^{\circ}C$.
