  • UN-REDD (United Nations programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation in Developing Countries) and AR-CDM (Afforestation/Reforestation-Clean Development Mechanism) is currently being emerged as one of important mechanism to reduce carbon dioxide in relation to the deforestation. Discussion on North Korea as UN-REDD/AR-CDM project target continues with a view to preventing deforestation and to securing CER(certified emission reduction) for South Korea. The forests in Mt. Baekdu are degraded, deforestation is occurred, nevertheless, portion of forested area is still high, where both REDD and AR-CDM investment potential are quite high. Accordingly, this study is intended to explore a simultaneous registration potential to UNREDD/AR-CDM for Mt. Baekdu although separate registration to UN-REDD or AR-CDM has already gained worldwide recognition as a typical method in the process of GHG (Greenhouse Gas) reduction project. The results indicate that selecting UN-REDD or AR-CDM in accordance with sub-watershed forest condition could capture 53.2% more carbon dioxide than REDD alone and 21.9% more than AR-CDM alone. It is anticipated that this research output could be used as a realistic evidence to introduce carbon sequestering project in accordance with sub-watershed forest condition.

  • The influence of ambient gases on field emission performance of Mo-field emitter array(FEA) in the frit-sealing step of field emission display(FED) packaging process was investigated. Mo-tip FEA was mounted on the glass substrate having a surrounded frit(Ferro FX11-137) and fired at $415^{\circ}C$ in the ambient gases of air, $N_2$ and Ar. The Ar gas was proved to be most proper ambient among the used gases through evaluating the turn-on voltage and field emission current of the fired Mo-tip FEA devices. It was confirmed that the Mo surface fired in Ar ambient was less oxidized when compared with another ones annealed in air and Ar ambient by the AFM, XPS, AES and SIMS analysis. Finally, the 3.5 inch-sized Mo-tip FED, which was packaged using frit-sealing process in the Ar ambient, was proposed.

  • Liquid Crystal Displays(LCDs) 투명성 전도막으로 사용하는 Indium Tin Oxide (ITO)의 고밀도 식각특성을 조사하였다. 특히 ITO식각의 경우, pixel electrode 전극에서 사용되는 underlayer인 SiO2, Si3N4와의 최적의 선택비를 얻는데 중점을 두고 있다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 Inductively Coupled Plasma(ICP)를 이용하여 source power, gas combination, bias voltage, pressure 및 기판온도에 따른 ITO의 식각 특성과 이의 underlayer인 SiO2, Si3N4와의 선택비를 조사하였다. Ar과 CH4를 주된 식각가스로서 사용하였으며 첨가가스로는 O2와 HBr를 사용하였다. ITO의 식각특성을 이해하기 위하여 Quadruple Mass Spectrometry(QMS), Optical emission spectroscopy(OES) 이용하였으며, 식각된 sample의 잔류물을 조사하기 위하여 X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)를 이용하여 분석하였다. Ar gas에 적정량의 CH4 혼합이 순수한 Ar 가스로 식각한 경우에 비하여 ITO와 SiO2, Si3N4의 선택비가 높았으며, 더 높은 식각 선택비를 얻기 위하여 Ar/CH 분위기에서 첨가가스 O2, HBr을 사용하였다. Source power 및 bias 증가에 따라 ITO의 식각률은 증가하나, underlayer와의 선택비는 감소함을 보였다. 본 실험에서 측정된 ITO의 high 식각률은 약 1500$\AA$/min이며, SiO2, Si3N4와의 high selectivity는 각각 7:1, 12:1로 나타났다. ITO의 etchrate 및 선택비는 source power, bias, pressure, CH 가스첨가에 의존하였지만 기판온도에는 큰 변화가 없음을 관찰하였다. 또한 적정량의 가스조합으로 식각된 시편의 잔류물을 줄일 수 있었다.

  • In this work, we investigated etching characteristics of $HfO_2$ thin film and Si using inductive coupled plasma(ICP) system. The ion energy distribution functions in an ICP system was analyzed by quadrupole mass spectrometer(QMS) with an electrostatic ion energy analyzer. The maximum etch rate of $HfO_2$ thin film is 85.5 nm/min at a $BCl_3/(BCl_3+Ar)$ of 20 % and decreased with further addition of $BCl_3$ gas. From the QMS measurements, the most dominant positive ion energy distributions(IEDS) showed a maximum at 20 % of $BCl_3$. These tendency was very similar to the etch characteristics. This result agreed with the universal energy dependency of ion enhanced chemical etching yields. And the maximum selectivity of $HfO_2$ over Si is 3.05 at a $O_2$ addition of 2 sccm into the $BCl_3/(BCl_3+Ar)$ of 20 % plasma.

  • We studied InP etch results in high density planar inductively coupled $BCl_3$ and $BCl_3$/Ar plasmas. The investigated process parameters were ICP source power, RIE chuck power, chamber pressure and $BCl_3$/Ar gas composition. It was found that increase of ICP source power and RIE chuck power raised etch rate of InP, while that of chamber pressure decreased etch rate. Etched InP surface was clean and smooth (RMS roughness < 2 nm) with a moderate etch rate ($300\;{\sim}\;500\;{\AA}/min$) after the planar $BCl_3/Ar$ ICP etching. It may make it possible to open a new regime of InP etching with $CH_4/H_2$ - free plasma chemistry. Some amount of Ar addition (< 50%) also improved etch rates of InP, while too much Ar addition reduced etch rates of InP.

  • The barium strontium titannate ((Ba,Sr)TiO$_3$:BST) thin films were etched in an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) as a function of CF$_4$/Ar gas mixing ratio. Under CF$_4$(20%)/Ar(80%), the maximum etch rate of the BST films was 400 $\AA$/min. Etching products were redeposited on the surface of BST and then the nature of crystallinity were varied. Therefore, we investigated the etched surface of BST by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The plasma damages were evaluated in terms of leakage current density by Agilent 4145C and dielectric constant by HP 4192 impedance analyzer. After the BST thin films exposed in the plasma, the leakage current density and roughness increases. After annealing at 600 $^{\circ}C$ for 10 min in $O_2$ ambient, the leakage current density, roughness and nonvolatile etch byproducts reduced. From this results, the plasma induced damages were recovered by annealing process owing to the relaxation of lattice mismatches by Ar ions and the desorption of metal fluorides in high temperature.

  • We have investigated the effect of the ambient gases on the characteristics of AZO thin films for the OLED (organic light emitting diodes) devices. These AZO thin films are deposited by rf-magnetron sputtering under different ambient gases (Ar, Ar+$O_2$, and Ar+$H_2$) at 300. In order to investigate the influences of the oxygen and hydrogen, the flow rate of oxygen and hydrogen in argon mixing gas has been changed from 0.2sccm to 1sccm and from 0.5sccm to 5sccm, respectively. The AZO thin films were preferred oriented to (002) direction regardless of ambient gases. The electrical resistivity of AZO film increased with increasing flow rate of $O_2$ under Ar+$O_2$ while under Ar+$H_2$ atmosphere the electrical resistivity showed minimum value near 1sccm of $H_2$. All the films showed the average transmittance over 80% in the visible range. The OLED device was fabricated with different AZO substrates made by configuration of AZO/$\acute{a}$-NPD/DPVB/$Alq_3$/LiF/Al to elucidate the performance of AZO substrate.
