VO2 is an attractive candidate as a transition metal oxide switching material as a selection device for reduction of sneak-path current. We demonstrate deposition of nanoscale VO2 thin films via thermal atomic layer deposition (ALD) with H2O reactant. Using this method, we demonstrate VO2 thin films with high-quality characteristics, including crystallinity, reproducibility using X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurement. We also present a method that can increase uniformity and thin film quality by splitting the pulse cycle into two using scanning electron microscope measurement. We demonstrate an ON / OFF ratio of about 40, which is caused by metal insulator transition (MIT) of VO2 thin film. ALD-deposited VO2 films with high film uniformity can be applied to next-generation nonvolatile memory devices with high density due to their metal-insulator transition characteristic with high current density, fast switching speed, and high ON / OFF ratio.

Mankind is enjoying a great convenience of their life by the rapid growth of secondary industry since the Industrial Revolution and it is possible due to the invention of huge power such as engine. The automobile which plays the important role of industrial development and human movement is powered by the Engine Module, and especially Diesel engine is widely used because of mechanical durability and energy efficiency. The main work mechanism of the Diesel engine is composed of inhalation of the organic material (coal, oil, etc.), combustion, explosion and exhaust Cycle process then the carbon compound emissions during the last exhaust process are essential which is known as the major causes of air pollution issues in recent years. In particular, COx, called carbon oxide compound which is composed of a very small size of the particles from several ten to hundred nano meter and they exist as a suspension in the atmosphere. These Diesel particles can be accumulated at the respiratory organs and cause many serious diseases. In order to compensate for the weak point of such a Diesel Engine, the DPF(Diesel Particulate Filter) post-cleaning equipment has been used and it mainly consists of ceramic materials(SiC, Cordierite etc) because of the necessity for the engine system durability on the exposure of high temperature, high pressure and chemical harsh environmental. Ceramic Material filter, but it remains a lot of problems yet, such as limitations of collecting very small particles below micro size, high cost due to difficulties of manufacturing process and low fuel consumption efficiency due to back pressure increase by the small pore structure. This study is to test the possibility of new structure by direct infiltration of SiC Whisker on Carbon felt as the next generation filter and this new filter is expected to improve the above various problems of the Ceramic DPF currently in use and reduction of the cost simultaneously. In this experiment, non-catalytic VS CVD (Vapor-Solid Chemical Vaporized Deposition) system was adopted to keep high mechanical properties of SiC and MTS (Methyl-Trichloro-Silane) gas used as source and H2 gas used as dilute gas. From this, the suitable whisker growth for high performance filter was observed depending on each deposition conditions change (input gas ratio, temperature, mass flow rate etc.).

Ceramic is widely known material due to its outstanding mechanical property. Besides, Zirconia(ZrO2) has a low thermal conductivity so it is advantage in a heat insulation. Because of these superior properties, ZrO2 is attracted to many fields using ultra high temperature for example vehicle engines, aerospace industry, turbine, nuclear system and so on. However brittle fracture is a disadvantage of the ZrO2. In order to overcome this problem, we can make the ceramic materials to the forms of ceramic nanoparticles, ceramic nanowhiskers and these forms can be used to an agent of composite materials. In this work, we selected Au catalyzed Vapor-Liquid-Solid mechanism to synthesize ZrO2 nanowhiskers. The ZrO2 whiskers are grown through Hot-wall Chemical Vapor Deposition(Hot wall CVD) using ZrCl4 as a powder source and Au film as a catalyst. This Hot wall CVD method is known to comparatively cost effective. The synthesis condition is a temperature of $1100^{\circ}C$, a pressure of 760torr(1atm) and carrier gas(Ar) flow of 500sccm. To observe the morphology of ZrO2 scanning electron microscopy is used and to identify the crystal structure x-ray diffraction is used.

In Part I of this paper, the two-temperature homogenized model for the fully ceramic microencapsulated fuel, in which tristructural isotropic particles are randomly dispersed in a fine lattice stochastic structure, was discussed. In this model, the fuel-kernel and silicon carbide matrix temperatures are distinguished. Moreover, the obtained temperature profiles are more realistic than those obtained using other models. Using the temperature-dependent thermal conductivities of uranium nitride and the silicon carbide matrix, temperature-dependent homogenized parameters were obtained. In Part II of the paper, coupled with the COREDAX code, a reactor core loaded by fully ceramic microencapsulated fuel in which tristructural isotropic particles are randomly dispersed in the fine lattice stochastic structure is analyzed via a two-temperature homogenized model at steady and transient states. The results are compared with those from harmonic- and volumetric-average thermal conductivity models; i.e., we compare $k_{eff}$ eigenvalues, power distributions, and temperature profiles in the hottest single channel at a steady state. At transient states, we compare total power, average energy deposition, and maximum temperatures in the hottest single channel obtained by the different thermal analysis models. The different thermal analysis models and the availability of fuel-kernel temperatures in the two-temperature homogenized model for Doppler temperature feedback lead to significant differences.

본 연구에서는 EUVL(Extreme Ultra-Violet Lithography) 공정에서 사용되어지는 Mo/Si 다층박막 마스크 물질의 최적화된 제조공정을 도모하기 위해 Monte Carlo법을 적용한 PVD 공정 시뮬레이터를 사용하여 Mo/Si 다층박막 증착변수에 따른 박막의 형상변화를 분석하였다. 박막의 형상은 가스압력(1∼30 mTorr), 타겟과 기판과의 거리 (1∼30 cm) 및 확산거리(1∼10 nm)에 따라 크게 변함을 알 수 있었으며 가스압력이 낮을수록, 기판과 타겟과의 거리가 멀어질수록 균일한 표면의 박막 형성이 가능할 것으로 예측되었다.

P-type transparent semiconductor $SrCu_2O_2$ thin films have been prepared by RF sputtering using low-alkali glass for LCD and quartz as substrates. Single phase of $SrCu_2O_2$ powder was obtained by heating a stoichiometric mixture of CuO and $SrCO_3$ at 1223K for 96h under N2 gas flow, and target was fabricated at 1243K for 24h. Room temperature conductivity of the sintered body was about 0.02S/cm, and the activation energy in the temperature range of $-50^{\circ}C$~RT and RT~$150^{\circ}C$ were 0.18eV, 0.07eV, respectively. Effects of deposition pressure and post-annealing temperature on the electrical and optical properties of the obtained thin film have been investigated.

Ti based nanocomposite films including V, Si and Nb (Ti-Me-N, Me=V, Si and Nb) were fabricated by hybrid physical vapor deposition (PVD) method consisting of unbalanced magnetron (UBM) sputtering and arc ion plating (AIP). The pure Ti target was used for arc ion plating and other metal targets (V, Si and Nb) were used for sputtering process at a gas mixture of Ar/$N_2$ atmosphere. Mostly all of the films were grown with textured TiN (111) plane except the Si doped Ti-Si-N film which has strong (200) peak. The microhardness of each film was measured using the nanoindentation method. The minimum value of removal rate ($0.5{\times}10^{-15}\;m^2/N$) was found at Nb doped Ti-Nb-N film which was composed of Ti-N and Nb-N nanoparticles with small amount of amorphous phases.

In ultrasonic spray pyrolysis deposition, a precursor solution is evaporated by an ultrasonic atomizer, then gas-carried into a furnace where the solute is separated from the water vapor. After condensation, polymerization, and nucleation, the solute oxide forms a thin film. To improve the deposition efficiency, the ultrasonic atomizer was studied to optimize the evaporated gas flow. The vat cover was redesigned, using three versions with different inlet factors being tested through a computational fluid dynamic analysis as well as a water evaporation experiment. The atomization rate with a hemispherical cover with a $30^{\circ}$ inlet was found to be 2.4 times higher than that with the original. This improvement was verified with fluorine-doped tin oxide spray pyrolysis deposition. The film obtained with the modified vat cover was 2.4 times thicker than that obtained with the original vat cover.

희석기체로써 Ar 및 H2를 사용하여 MTS(CH3SiCl3)를 원료물질로 한 탄화규소막을 흑연 기판 위에 화학증착시켰다. 본 연구는 증착온도 130$0^{\circ}C$, 총압력은 10 torr 및 MTS와 원료 운반기체의 총유량은 100 sccm으로 일정하게한 상태에서, 각 희석기체의 첨가에 따른 성장거동의 변화를 고찰하고자 하였다. 증착속도는 희석기체와 상관없이 첨가량이 200sccm일 때 최대값을 갖는 모양을 보였으나, Ar을 첨가할 때가 H2에 비해 더 빠른 증착속도를 나타냈다. 이러한 증착속도 특성은 전체 증착속도가 물질전달 율속단계에 있을 때, 각 희석기체의 첨가에 따라 변화되는 경막 두께(boundary layer thickness) 및 원료물질 농도의 상관관계에 기인한다고 여겨졌다. 우선배향성은 Ar의 경우 모든 첨가량의 범위에서 (220)면으로 우선배향되었으나, H2의 경우에는 200sccm이상에서 첨가량에 비례하여 (111)면으로 우선배향되는 경향을 보였다. 표면미세구조는 Ar을 첨가한 경우에 일정하게 facet구조를 유지하였으나, H2의 경우에는 facet에서 평탄한(smooth)구조로 변화되었다. 표면조도의 경우 첨가량이 늘어남에 따라 지속적으로 Ar에서는 증가하였지만, H2에서는 감소하였다.
