Cutting and planarization of diamond films have been performed using copper vapor laser under air at-mosphere. Diamond films of about 350${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 800 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ thick have been synthesized with DC plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition. The position of a specimen has been controlled by computer-driven stage. With copper vapor laser beam of 7W cutting depth increases rapidly and saturates with increasing scan number and decreasing scan speed. 8 repetitive scans at scan speed 0.5 mm/sec produce the maximum cutting depth without focus shifting Rod-shape copper vapor laser beam can be made and used effectively in planar-ization of rough diamond surface.

Hot filament-assisted CVD was carried out to deposit diamond films on Si(100) substrate at 90$0^{\circ}C$ using a 1% CH4-H2 mixture gas. Deposition was made at various conditions of mass flow rate of the feed gas (30~1000 sccm), pressure (2.5~300 Torr), and filament-substrate distance (4~15 mm), and the deposited films were characterized by SEM, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy. As the flow rate increases, the growth rate also increased but the crystallinity of the film was degraded. A longer filament-substrate distance simply caused both the growth rate and the crystallinity to become poorer. On the other hand, the pressure variation resulted in a maximum growth rate of 2.6 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/hr at 10 Torr and the best film quality around 50 Torr, exhibiting an optimum condition. The observed trends were interpreted in terms of the flow velocity-dependent pyrolysis reaction efficiency and mass transport through the boundary layer.

Phosphosilicate glass(PSG) films have been used as fusable deposited dielectrics in silicon gate MOS integrated circuits. But in this experiment BPSG(borophosphosilicate glass) will be optimized for more efficient utilization of the reactants. The BPSG films were deposited on silicon wafers by the oxidation of the hydrides at 430$^{\circ}$C in conventional atmospheric-pressure chemical-vapor-deposition (CVD) systems. Physical and chemical properties of CVD BPSG films have been characterized both for as-deposited and for fused films The. relationship between deposited BPSG film composition and infra-red absorption solution etch rate and fusion temperature is discussed and examples of BPSG composition that can be fused at 900~95$0^{\circ}C$ and 800~85$0^{\circ}C$ are given. In addition to having lower fusion temperature than PSG films BPSG films have lower as-deposited intrinsic tensile stress and low aqueous chemical etch rate they have been considered for applications where these characteristics are advantageous.

A study on the APCVD(atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition) Al2O3 was done by using the aluminum-tri-isopropoxide/N2 reaction system at 40$0^{\circ}C$. When the flow rate of the carrier gas(N2) was over 2SLPM, heterogeneous reaction was observed. However, when the flow rate of the carrier gas was below 2SLPM, a porously deposited film or powder formation was observed. The film formed by a heterogeneous reaction was optically dense. The dense film is thought to be a kind of a hydrated alumina. After a thermal treatment of the film in the range of temperature from $600^{\circ}C$ to 1, 20$0^{\circ}C$, properties of the film seems to be changed due to dehydration and densification process. In the case of the powder on heat treatment(600~1, 20$0^{\circ}C$), both a phase transformation and the change of OH peak was observed.

ZnO transparent conducting thin film, which is a strong candidate for a transparent electrical contact in optoelectronic devices, was prepared by the vapour spraying method on the slide glass in nitrogen ambient at the atmospheric pressure. The structural, optical and electrical properties of films show a strong dependence on substrate temperature, and the optimum range of deposition temperature existed to obtain TCO(Transparent Conducting Oxide) films. At the higher temperatures, milky films were obtained. In such optimum range, the bandgap in ZnO films was determined from the spectral dependence of absorption coefficient and electrical characteristics were characterized with by the Hall mobility and carrier concentration.

We report on the effects of co-doping with fluorine on properties of ZnO thin films grown by pulsed-laser deposition. The transport characteristics of Ag-F and Li-F codoped ZnO films were determined by Hall-effect measurements at room temperature. Ag-F codoped ZnO films showed n-type semiconducting behaviors. An ambiguous carrier type was observed in Li-F codoped ZnO films grown at a temperature of 500$^{\circ}C$ with the oxygen pressures of 20 and 200 mTorr. The qualities of the codoped ZnO films were studied by X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, and photoluminescence.

Effects of annealing temperature, time, and atmospehre on the flow characteristics of Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition-borophosphosilicate glass were investigated. Stable step coverage can be obtained by annealing the BPSG film at 90$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes in N2 atmosphere, but further heat treatment isnot effective. Flow characteristics of the BPSG film was better in steam atmosphere than in N2 atmosphere, and the factors which cause it were analyzed. The concentration of boron in the BPSG film was measured pretty accurately by FTIR spectrum. Boron content in the BPSG film was reduced by annealing treatment. The decrement of boron was greater in steam atmosphere than in the N2 atmosphere. Also it was found from the FTIR spectroscopic analysis that PH3 inhibited the oxidation of B2H6.

A biomimetic approach was applied for the chemical deposition of calcium phosphate (CaP) coatings on 3 mole% yttrium-stabilized zirconia [3YSZ] powders. The solid-state reaction of 3YSZ powders with the addition of CaP was investigated for the development of biodegradable zirconia ceramics. The solid-state interaction between the 3YSZ matrix powders and the CaP additives differed from the behavior of commercial zirconia matrix powders. The 3YSZ powders were chemically reacted with precursors for the CaP formation. 3YSZ powders were mixed in an aqueous solution of Ca-P precursors and the CaP was precipitated on the surface of the 3YSZ matrix powders. The CaP-doped YSZ powders were calcined at $1100^{\circ}C$ and shaped powder blocks were then fired at $1600^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. The CaP phase formation was investigated using FE-SEM and XRD analysis.

We report the design, fabrication of a $Si_3N_4$ probe and calculation of its mechanical properties for DPN(dip pen nanolithography), which consists of dual tips. Concept of dual tip probe is to employ individual tips on probe as either an AFM tip for imaging or a writing tip for nano patterning. For this, the dual tip probe is fabricated using low residual stress $Si_3N_4$ material with LPCVD deposition and MEMS fabrication process. On the basis of FEM analysis we show that the functionality of dual tip probe for imaging is dependent on the dimensions of dual tip probe, and high ratio of widths of beam areas is preferred to minimize curvature variation on probe.

The antireflective (AR) coated poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) substrate was deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) on a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) to improve hydrophobicity and mechano-chemical properties of organic thin films. The water contact angles (WCA) were tested to characterize the surface wettability of SAM octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) films. Results showed that a contact angle of $105.9^{\circ}$ was obtained for the SAM films with an annealing process, and the highest WCA of $120^{\circ}$ was achieved for the films prepared by the SAM and ALD multi-process. The surface morphology of the SAM films with different assembly times and varying number of ALD cycles was obtained by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The maximum light transmittance for the SAM films on the PMMA substrate reached 99.9% at a wavelength of 450 nm. It was found that the SAM surfaces were not affected at all by the ALD process.
