  • A possibility of work function engineering on ZnO thin film is studied by in-situ and ex-situ doping process. The work function of ZnO thin film decreases with increasing boron and phosphorus doping quantity. But, the work function of Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin film increases as the boron doping quantity incresess. The range of work function change on ZnO thin films is 3.5 eV to 5.5 eV. This result shows that the work function of ZnO thin film is indeed engineerable by changing materials of dopants and their compositional distribution of surface. We also discuss the possible mechanism of work function engineering on ZnO thin films.

  • 현재 폭넓게 이용되고 있는 STI (Shallow Trench Isolation) 공정에서 active edge 부분에 발생하는 기생 transistor의 subthreshold hump 특성을 제어하는 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 일반적으로 STI 공정을 이용하는 MOSFET에서 active edge 부분의 얇게 형성된 gate oxide, sharp한 active edge 형성, STI gap-fill 공정 중에 생기는 channel dopant out-diffusion은 subthreshold hump 특성의 주된 요인이다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 active edge rounding process와 channel dopant compensation의 implantation을 이용하여 subthresold hump 특성 개선을 연구하였다. 본 연구는 STI 공정에 필요한 wafer와 phosphorus를 함유한 wafer를 한 chamber 안에서 auto-doping하는 방법을 이용하여 subthresold hump 특성을 구현하였다. phosphorus를 함유한 wafer에서 빠져나온 phosphorus가 STI 공정중인 wafer로 침투하여, active edge 부분의 channel dopant인 boron 농도를 상대적으로 낮춰 active edge 부분의 가 감소하고 leakage current를 증가시킨다. transistor의 channel length, gate width이고, wafer#No가 클수록 phosphorous를 함유한 wafer까지의 거리는 가까워진다. wafer #01은 hump 특성이 없고, wafer#20은 에서 심한 subthreshold hump 특성을 보였다. channel length 고정, gate width를 ~으로 가변하여 width에 따른 영향을 실험하였다. active 부분에 대한 SCM image로 확인된 phosphorus에 의한 active edge 부분의 boron 농도 감소와 gate width vs curve에서 확인된 phosphorus에 의한 감소가 narrow width로 갈수록 커짐을 확인하였다.

  • Boron doped fullerene $C_{60}$ ($B:C_{60}$) films were prepared by the thermal evaporation of $C_{60}$ powder using argon plasma treatment. The morphology and structural characteristics of the thin films were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) and x-ray photo electron spectroscopy (XPS). The electrochemical application of the boron doped fullerene film as a coating layer for silicon anodes in lithium ion batteries was also investigated. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements were applied to the $B:C_{60}$ coated silicon electrodes at a scan rate of $0.05\;mVs^{-1}$. The CV results show that the $B:C_{60}$ coating layer act as a passivation layer with respect to the insertion and extraction of lithium ions into the silicon film electrode.

  • P+N and P+NN+ solar cells with the area of 3.36 $\textrm{cm}^2$ were fabricated by thermal diffusion. Under the light intensity of 100 mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$, total area(active area) conversion efficiency was 13.4%(14.7%) for P+N cell fabricated by 15 min boron predeposition at 94$0^{\circ}C$ and 20 min annealing at 80$0^{\circ}C$, and 14.3%(15.6%) for P+NN+ cell processed by 15 min boron predeposition at 94$0^{\circ}C$ and 50 min annealing at 80$0^{\circ}C$ after 20 min back phosphorus diffusion at 1,05$0^{\circ}C$. The minority carrier lifetime in bulk of P+NN+ cells was increased about 2~3 times comparing with P+N cells because of guttering and BSF effect due to back phosphorus doping. The methods used for efficiency improvement were AR coating, Ag electroplating, back doping and fine grid pattern as well as the control of front doping profile.

  • This paper presents a 3-dimensional diffusion simulation with adaptive solution strategy. The developed diffusion simulator VLSIDIF-3 was designed to re-refine areas. Refine scheme was calculated by the difference of doping concentration between any of two nodes. Each element is greater than tolerance and redo diffusion process until error is tolerable. Numerical experiment in low doping diffusion problem showed that this adaptive solution strategy is very efficient in both memory and time, and expected this scheme would be more powerful in complex diffusion model.
