유리기판위에 큰 결정입자를 갖는 실리콘 (폴리 실리콘) 박막을 제조하는 것은 가격저가화 및 대면적화 측면 같은 산업화의 높은 잠재성을 가지고 있기 때문에 그동안 많은 관심을 가지고 연구되어 오고 있다. 다양한 방법을 이용하여 다결정 실리콘 박막을 만들기 위해 노력해 오고 있으며, 태양전지에 응용하기 위하여 연속적이면서 10um이상의 큰 입자를 갖는 다결정 실리콘 씨앗층이 필요하며, 고속증착을 위해서는 (100)의 결정성장방향 등 다양한 조건이 제시될 수 있다. 다결정 실리콘 흡수층의 품질은 고품질의 다결정 실리콘 씨앗층에서 얻어질 수 있다. 이러한 다결정 실리콘의 에피막 성장을 위해서는 유리기판의 연화점이 저압 화학기상증착법 및 아크 플라즈마 등과 같은 고온기반의 공정 적용의 어려움이 있기 때문에 제약 사항으로 항상 문제가 제기되고 있다. 이러한 관점에서 볼때 유리기판위에 에피막을 성장시키는 방법으로 많지 않은 방법들이 사용될 수 있는데 전자 공명 화학기상증착법(ECR-CVD), 이온빔 증착법(IBAD), 레이저 결정화법(LC) 및 펄스 자석 스퍼터링법 등이 에피 실리콘 성장을 위해 제안되는 대표적인 방법으로 볼 수 있다. 이중에서 효율적인 관점에서 볼때 IBAD는 산업화측면에서 좀더 많은 이점을 가지고 있으나, 박막을 형성하는 과정에서 큰 에너지 및 이온크기의 빔 사이즈 등으로 인한 표면으로의 damages가 일어날 수 있어 쉽지 않는 방법이 될 수 있다. 여기에서는 이러한 damage를 획기적으로 줄이면서 저온에서 결정화 시킬 수 있는 cold annealing법을 소개하고자 한다. 이온빔에 비해서 전자빔의 에너지와 크기는 그리드 형태의 렌즈를 통해 전체면적에 조사하는 것을 쉽게 제어할 수 있으며 이러한 전자빔의 생성은 금속 필라멘트의 열전자가 아닌 Ar플라즈마에서 전자의 분리를 통해 발생된다. 유리기판위에 다결정 실리콘 씨앗층을 제조하기 위하여 전자빔을 조사하는 방법과 Al을 이용한 씨앗층 제조법이 비교되어 공정 수행이 이루어진다. 우선, 전자빔 조사를 위해 DC 및 RF 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 ${\sim}10^{20}cm^{-3}$이상의 농도를 갖는 $p^+^+$ 비정질 실리콘 박막을 제조한다. Al의 증착은 DC 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 제조하고 그 두께는 실리콘 박막의 두께와 동일한 조건(350nm)으로 제조한다. 제조된 샘플은 E-beam gun이 달린 챔버로 이동하여 1.4keV의 세기를 가지고 각각 10, 20, 50, 100초를 조사한 후 단면의 이미지를 SEM으로, 결정화 정도를 Raman으로, 결정화 방향 등에 대한 조사를 XRD로 분석 측정한다. 그리고 Hall effect를 통해 전자빔의 조사 전후의 캐리어 농도, 이동도 및 비저항 등에 대한 조사가 이루어진다. 동시에 Al을 촉매로 한 layer교환에 대하여 마찬가지로 분석을 통하여 최종적으로 비교분석이 이루어 진다. 전자빔을 조사한 샘플에 대하여 빠른 시간 및 캐리어농도 제어 등의 우수성이 보이며, 특히 ~98%이상의 결정화율을 보일 것으로 예상된다.

For several decades, industrial processes consume a huge amount of raw water for various objects that consequently results in the generation of large amounts of wastewater. Wastewaters are consisting of complex mixture of different inorganic and organic compounds and some of them can be toxic, hazardous and hard to degrade. These effluents are mainly treated by conventional technologies such are aerobic and anaerobic treatment and chemical coagulation. But, these processes are not suitable for eliminating all hazardous chemical compounds form wastewater and generate a large amount of toxic sludge. Therefore, other processes have been studied and applied together with these techniques to enhance purification results. These include photocatalysis, absorption, advanced oxidation processes, and ozonation, but also have their own drawbacks. In recent years, electrochemical techniques have received attention as wastewater treatment process that could be show higher purification results. Among them, boron doped diamond (BDD) attract attention as electrochemical electrode due to good chemical and electrochemical stability, long lifetime and wide potential window that necessary properties for anode electrode. So, there are many researches about high quality BDD on Nb, Ta, W and Si substrates, but, their application in effluents treatment is not suitable due to high cost of metal and low conductivity of Si. To solve these problems, Ti has been candidate as substrate in consideration of cost and property. But there are adhesion issues that must be overcome to apply Ti as BDD substrate. Al, Cu, Ti and Nb thin films were deposited on Ti substrate to improve adhesion between substrate and BDD thin film. In this paper, BDD films were deposited by hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HF-CVD) method. Prior to deposition, cleaning processes were conducted in acetone, ethanol, and isopropyl alcohol (IPA) using sonification machine for 7 min, respectively. And metal layer with the thickness of 200 nm were deposited by DC magnetron sputtering (DCMS). To analyze microstructure X-ray diffraction (XRD, Bruker gads) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM, Hitachi) were used. It is confirmed that metal layer was effective to adhesion property and improved electrode property. Electrochemical measurements were carried out in a three electrode electrochemical cell containing a 0.5 % H2SO4 in deionized water. As a result, it is confirmed that metal inter layer heavily effect on BDD property by improving adhesion property due to suppressing formation of titanium carbide.

Titanium nitride (TiN) thin films have useful properties including high hardness, good electrical conductivity, high melting point, and chemical inertness. The applications have included wear-resistant hard coatings on machine tools and bearings, decorative coating making use of the golden color, thermal control coatings for widows, and erosion resistant coatings for spacecraft plasma probes. For all these applications as feature sizes shrink and aspect ratios grow, the issue of good step coverage becomes increasingly important. It is therefore essential to manufacture conformal coatings of TiN. The growth of TiN thin films by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is of great interest for achieving conformal deposition. The most widely used precursor for TiN is TiCl4 and NH3. However, chlorine impurity in the as-grown films and relatively high deposition temperature (>$600^{\circ}C$) are considered major drawbacks from actual device fabrication. To overcome these problems, recently, MOCVD processes including plasma assisted have been suggested. In this study, therefore, we have doposited Ti(C, N) thin films on Si(100) and D2 steel substrates in the temperature range of 150-30$0^{\circ}C$ using tetrakis diethylamido titanium (TDEAT) and titanium isopropoxide (TIP) by pulsed DC plamsa enhanced metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (PEMOCVD) method. Polycrystalline Ti(C, N) thin films were successfully grown on either D2 steel or Si(100) surfaces at temperature as low as 15$0^{\circ}C$. Compositions of the as-grown films were determined with XPS and RBS. From XPS analysis, thin films of Ti(C, N) with low oxygen concentration were obtained. RBS data were also confirmed the changes of stoichiometry and microhardness of our films. Radical formation and ionization behaviors in plasma are analyzed by optical emission spectroscopy (OES) at various pulsed bias and gases conditions. H2 and He+H2 gases are used as carrier gases to compare plasma parameter and the effect of N2 and NH3 gases as reactive gas is also evaluated in reduction of C content of the films. In this study, we fond that He and H2 mixture gas is very effective in enhancing ionization of radicals, especially N resulting is high hardness. The higher hardness of film is obtained to be ca. 1700 HK 0.01 but it depends on gas species and bias voltage. The proper process is evident for H and N2 gas atmosphere and bias voltage of 600V. However, NH3 gas highly reduces formation of CN radical, thereby decreasing C content of Ti(C, N) thin films in a great deal. Compared to PVD TiN films, the Ti(C, N) film grown by PEMOCVD has very good conformability; the step coverage exceeds 85% with an aspect ratio of more than 3.

Plasma in liquid phase has attracted great attention in the last few years by the wide domain of applications in material processing, decomposition of organic and inorganic chemical compounds and sterilization of water. The plasma in liquid is characterized by three main regions which interact each - other during the plasma operation: the liquid phase, which supply the plasma gas phase with various chemical compounds and ions, the plasma in the gas phase at atmospheric pressure and the interface between these two regions. The most complex region, but extremely interesting from the fundamental, chemical and physical processes which occur here, is the boundary between the liquid phase and the plasma gas phase. In our laboratory, plasma in liquid which behaves as a glow discharge type, is generated by using a bipolar pulsed power supply, with variable pulse width, in the range of 0.5~10 ${\mu}s$ and 10 to 30 kHz repetition rate. Plasma in water and other different solutions was characterized by electrical and optical measurements. Strong emissions of OH and H radicals dominate the optical spectra. Generally water with 500 ${\mu}S/cm$ conductivity has a breakdown voltage around 2 kV, depending on the pulse width and the repetition rate of the power supply. The characteristics of the plasma initiated in ultrapure water between pairs of different materials used for electrodes (W and Ta) were investigated by the time-resolved optical emission and the broad-band absorption spectroscopy. The deexcitation processes of the reactive species formed in the water plasma depend on the electrode material, but have been independent on the polarity of the applied voltage pulses. Recently, Coherent anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy method was employed to investigate the chemistry in the liquid phase and at the interface between the gas and the liquid phases of the solution plasma system. The use of the solution plasma allows rapid fabrication of the metal nanoparticles without being necessary the addition of different reducing agents, because plasma in the liquid phase provides a reaction field with a highly excited energy radicals. We successfully synthesized gold nanoparticles using a glow discharge in aqueous solution. Nanoparticles with an average size of less than 10 nm were obtained using chlorauric acid solutions as the metal source. Carbon/Pt hybrid nanostructures have been obtained by treating carbon balls, synthesized in a CVD chamber, with hexachloro- platinum acid in a solution plasma system. The solution plasma was successfully used to remove the template remained after the mesoporous silica synthesis. Surface functionalization of the carbon structures and the silica surface with different chemical groups and nanoparticles, was also performed by processing these materials in the liquid plasma.

다이아몬드를 반도체용 열방산용기판 등으로 사용하기 위해서는 수백 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 두께의 대면적 웨이퍼가 요구된다. 이를 위해서 DC are jet CVD, MW PACVD, DC PACVD 등이 개발되어, 현재 4"에서 8"까지의 많은 문제를 일으키고 있다. 본 연구에서는 multi-cathode DC PACVD법에 의한 4" 다이아몬드 웨이퍼의 합성과 합성된 막의 특성변화에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 또한, 웨이퍼의 휨과 crack 발생거동과 대한 고찰을 통래 휨과 crack이 없는 웨이퍼의 제작방법을 고안하였다. 사용된 음극의 수는 일곱 개이며, 투입된 power는 각 음극 당 약 2.5kW(4.1 A-600V)이었다. 사용된 기판의 크기는 직경 4"이었다. 합성압력은 100Torr, 가스유량은 150sccm, 증착온도는 125$0^{\circ}C$~131$0^{\circ}C$, 수소가스네 메탄조성은 5%~8%이었다. 합성 중 막에 인가되는 응력은 합성 중 증착온도의 변화에 의해 제어하였다. 막의 결정도는 Raman spectroscopy 및 열전도도를 측정을 통해 분석하였다. 성장속도 및 다이아몬드 peak의 반가폭은 메탄조성 증가(5%~8%)에 따라 증가하여 각각 6.6~10.5$\mu\textrm{m}$/h 및 3.8~5.2 cm-1의 분포를 보였다. 6%CH4 및 7%CH4에서 합성된 웨이퍼에서 측정된 막의 열전도도는 11W/cmK~13W/cmK 정도로 높게 나타났다. 막두께의 uniformity는 최대 3.5%로 매우 균일하였다. 막에 인가되는 응력의 제어로 직경 4"k 합성면적에서 두께 1mm 이상의 균열 및 휨이 없는 다이아몬드 자유막 웨이퍼를 합성할 수 있었다.다이아몬드 자유막 웨이퍼를 합성할 수 있었다.active ion에 의해 sputtering 이 된다. 이때 plasma 처리기의 polymer 기판 후면에 magnet를 설치하여 높은 ionization을 발생시켜 처리 효과를 한층 높여 주었다. 이 plasma 처리는 표면 청정화, 표면 etching 이 동시에 행하는 것과 함께 장시간 처리에 의해 표면에서는 미세한 과, C=C기, -C-O-의 극성기의 도입에 의한 표면 개량이 된다는 것을 관찰할 수 있다.

Fully sealed field emission display in size of 4.5 inch has been fabricated using single-wall carbon nanotubes-organic vehicle com-posite. The fabricated display were fully scalable at low temperature below 415$^{\circ}C$ and CNTs were vertically aligned using paste squeeze and surface rubbing techniques. The turn-on fields of 1V/${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and field emis-sion current of 1.5mA at 3V/${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ (J=90${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/$\textrm{cm}^2$)were observed. Brightness of 1800cd/$m^2$ at 3.7V/${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ was observed on the entire area of 4.5-inch panel from the green phosphor-ITO glass. The fluctuation of the current was found to be about 7% over a 4.5-inch cath-ode area. This reliable result enables us to produce large area full-color flat panel dis-play in the near future. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted much attention because of their unique elec-trical properties and their potential applica-tions [1, 2]. Large aspect ratio of CNTs together with high chemical stability. ther-mal conductivity, and high mechanical strength are advantageous for applications to the field emitter [3]. Several results have been reported on the field emissions from multi-walled nanotubes (MWNTs) and single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) grown from arc discharge [4, 5]. De Heer et al. have reported the field emission from nan-otubes aligned by the suspension-filtering method. This approach is too difficult to be fully adopted in integration process. Recently, there have been efforts to make applications to field emission devices using nanotubes. Saito et al. demonstrated a car-bon nanotube-based lamp, which was oper-ated at high voltage (10KV) [8]. Aproto-type diode structure was tested by the size of 100mm $\times$ 10mm in vacuum chamber [9]. the difficulties arise from the arrangement of vertically aligned nanotubes after the growth. Recently vertically aligned carbon nanotubes have been synthesized using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition(CVD) [6, 7]. Yet, control of a large area synthesis is still not easily accessible with such approaches. Here we report integra-tion processes of fully sealed 4.5-inch CNT-field emission displays (FEDs). Low turn-on voltage with high brightness, and stabili-ty clearly demonstrate the potential applica-bility of carbon nanotubes to full color dis-plays in near future. For flat panel display in a large area, car-bon nanotubes-based field emitters were fabricated by using nanotubes-organic vehi-cles. The purified SWNTs, which were syn-thesized by dc arc discharge, were dispersed in iso propyl alcohol, and then mixed with on organic binder. The paste of well-dis-persed carbon nanotubes was squeezed onto the metal-patterned sodalime glass throuhg the metal mesh of 20${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in size and subse-quently heat-treated in order to remove the organic binder. The insulating spacers in thickness of 200${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ are inserted between the lower and upper glasses. The Y\ulcornerO\ulcornerS:Eu, ZnS:Cu, Al, and ZnS:Ag, Cl, phosphors are electrically deposited on the upper glass for red, green, and blue colors, respectively. The typical sizes of each phosphor are 2~3 micron. The assembled structure was sealed in an atmosphere of highly purified Ar gas by means of a glass frit. The display plate was evacuated down to the pressure level of 1$\times$10\ulcorner Torr. Three non-evaporable getters of Ti-Zr-V-Fe were activated during the final heat-exhausting procedure. Finally, the active area of 4.5-inch panel with fully sealed carbon nanotubes was pro-duced. Emission currents were character-ized by the DC-mode and pulse-modulating mode at the voltage up to 800 volts. The brightness of field emission was measured by the Luminance calorimeter (BM-7, Topcon).

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is a convenient term to indicate the compositions of the various forms of amorphous carbon (a-C), tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C), hydrogenated amorphous carbon and tetrahedral amorphous carbon (a-C:H and ta-C:H). The a-C film with disordered graphitic ordering, such as soot, chars, glassy carbon, and evaporated a-C, is shown in the lower left hand corner. If the fraction of sp3 bonding reaches a high degree, such an a-C is denoted as tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C), in order to distinguish it from sp2 a-C [2]. Two hydrocarbon polymers, that is, polyethylene (CH2)n and polyacetylene (CH)n, define the limits of the triangle in the right hand corner beyond which interconnecting C-C networks do not form, and only strait-chain molecules are formed. The DLC films, i.e. a-C, ta-C, a-C:H and ta-C:H, have some extreme properties similar to diamond, such as hardness, elastic modulus and chemical inertness. These films are great advantages for many applications. One of the most important applications of the carbon-based films is the coating for magnetic hard disk recording. The second successful application is wear protective and antireflective films for IR windows. The third application is wear protection of bearings and sliding friction parts. The fourth is precision gages for the automotive industry. Recently, exciting ongoing study [1] tries to deposit a carbon-based protective film on engine parts (e.g. engine cylinders and pistons) taking into account not only low friction and wear, but also self lubricating properties. Reduction of the oil consumption is expected. Currently, for an additional application field, the carbon-based films are extensively studied as excellent candidates for biocompatible films on biomedical implants. The carbon-based films consist of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, which are biologically harmless as well as the main elements of human body. Some in vitro and limited in vivo studies on the biological effects of carbon-based films have been studied [$2{\sim}5$].The carbon-based films have great potentials in many fields. However, a few technological issues for carbon-based film are still needed to be studied to improve the applicability. Aisenberg and Chabot [3] firstly prepared an amorphous carbon film on substrates remained at room temperature using a beam of carbon ions produced using argon plasma. Spencer et al. [4] had subsequently developed this field. Many deposition techniques for DLC films have been developed to increase the fraction of sp3 bonding in the films. The a-C films have been prepared by a variety of deposition methods such as ion plating, DC or RF sputtering, RF or DC plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), electron cyclotron resonance chemical vapor deposition (ECR-CVD), ion implantation, ablation, pulsed laser deposition and cathodic arc deposition, from a variety of carbon target or gaseous sources materials [5]. Sputtering is the most common deposition method for a-C film. Deposited films by these plasma methods, such as plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) [6], are ranged into the interior of the triangle. Application fields of DLC films investigated from papers. Many papers purposed to apply for tribology due to the carbon-based films of low friction and wear resistance. Figure 1 shows the percentage of DLC research interest for application field. The biggest portion is tribology field. It is occupied 57%. Second, biomedical field hold 14%. Nowadays, biomedical field is took notice in many countries and significantly increased the research papers. DLC films actually applied to many industries in 2005 as shown figure 2.
