  • Nanostructured materials have received attention due to their unique electronic, optical, optoelectrical, and magnetic properties as a results of their large surface-to-volume ratio and quantum confinement effects. Thermal chemical vapor deposition process has attracted much attention due to the synthesis capability of various structured nanomaterials during the growth of nanostructures. In this study, silicon oxide nanowires were grown on Si\$SiO_2$(300 nm)\Pt(5~40 nm) substrates by two-zone thermal chemical vapor deposition with the source material $TiO_2$ powder via vapor-liquid-solid process. The morphology and crystallographic properties of the grown silicon oxide nanowires were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. As results of analysis, the morphology, diameter and length, of the grown silicon oxide nanowires are depend on the thickness of the catalyst films. The grown silicon oxide nanowires exhibit amorphous phase.

  • The thermal decomposition of tetrakis(ethylmethylamido) titanium (TEMAT) has been investigated in Ar and $H_2$ gas atmospheres at gas temperatures of 100-400 ${^{\circ}C}$ by using Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) as a fundamental study for the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of titanium nitride (TiN) thin film. The activation energy for the decomposition of TEMAT was estimated to be 10.92 kcal/mol and the reaction order was determined to be the first order. The decomposition behavior of TEMAT was affected by ambient gases. TEMAT was decomposed into the intermediate forms of imine (C=N) compounds in Ar and $H_2$ atmosphere, but additional nitrile (RC$\equiv$N) compound was observed only in $H_2$ atmosphere. The decomposition rate of TEMAT under $H_2$ atmosphere was slower than that in Ar atmosphere, which resulted in the extension of the regime of the surface reaction control in the CVD TiN process.

  • To investigate the effect of preparing condition on the physical properties of carbon nanotubes suitable for optical applications, carbon nanotubes were synthesized by thermal chemical vapor deposition using Ni particles as a catalyst on stainless steel substrate and acetylene as a reactant gas. To examine the physical and optical properties, SEM, TEM, Ram an, UV-visible, and photoluminescence spectroscopy were used. The physical properties of carbon nanotubes such as diameter, degree of growth density and morphology were closely related to such experimental conditions as Ni particle size, growing pressure, and etching condit on of Ni particles, it appeared from the light absorbance and photoluminescence spectra of carbon nanotube mixture prepared with an addition of a photopolymer, P3HT(Poly(3-hexylthIop hene)) that carbon nanotube could do a role as a kind of electron acceptor for solar cell application.

  • Alumina composite membranes were prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using aluminum-tri-isopropoxide as a precursor. Porous alumina supports were used in deposition, which were in disk shape with mean pore diameter of 0.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and prepared by slip-coasting process. film deposition morphology on porous support was simulated through depositing alumina film on polycrystalline silicon pattern, and its step coverage observed by SEM showed one deviated from uniform step coverage. N2 permeability through composite membranes and the pressure dependence decreased as the deposition time increased. Initially, the N2 permeability of the top layer was tend to decrease rapidly, and then the degree of decrease in N2 permeability was tend to diminish with deposition time. The N2 permeability increased with heat treatment temperature and the crack was generated in top layer at 100$0^{\circ}C$.

  • Titanium Nitride (TiN) was deposited onto the SKH9 tool steels by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using a gaseous mixture of TiCl4, N2, and H2. The effects of the deposition temperature and input gas composition on the deposition rate, microstructure, preferred orientation, microhardness and wear resistance of TiN deposits were studied. The experimental results showed that the TiN deposition is thermally activated process with an apparent activation energy of about 27Kcal/mole in the temperature range between 1200$^{\circ}$K and 1400$^{\circ}$K. As H2/N2 gas input ratio increased, the deposition rate increased, showed maximum at H2/N2 gas input ratio of 1.5 and then decreased. Mechanical properties such as microhardness and wear resistance have close relation with the microstructure and preferred orientation of TiN deposits. It is suggested that the equiaxed structure with random orientation increases the microhardness and wear resistance of TiN deposits.

  • Numerical analysis is done to investigate which would be the most influencing process parameter in determining the uniformity of deposition thickness in TiN ICP-CVD(inductively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition). Two configurations of ICP antenna are modeled; side and top planar. Side and top gas inlets are considered with each ICP antenna geometries. Precursor for TiN deposition was TDMAT(Tetrakis Diethyl Methyl Amido Titanium). Two step volume dissociation of TDMAT is used and absorption, desorption and deposition surface reactions are included. Most influencing factors are H and N concentration dissociated by electron impact collisions in plasma volume which depends on the relative positions of gas inlet and ICP antenna generated hot plasma region. Low surface recombination of N shows hollow type concentration, but H gives a bell type distribution. Film thickness at substrate edges is sensitive to gas flow rate and at high pressures getting more dependent on flow characteristics.

  • Epitaxial Si layers were deposited on (100) Si substrates by hot-wall chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique using the $SiH_2Cl_2/H_2$chemistry. Thermochemical calculations of the Si-H-Cl system were carried out to predict the window of actual Si deposition process and to investigate the effects of process variables (i.e., deposition temperature, reactor pressure, and input gas molar ratio ($H_2/SiH_2Cl_2$)) on the epitaxial growth. The calculated results were in good agreement with the experiment. Optimum process conditions were found to be the deposition temperature of 850~$950^{\circ}C$, the reactor pressure of 2~5 Torr, and the input gas molar ratio ($H_2/SiH_2Cl_2$) of 30~70, providing device-quality epitaxial layers.

  • An analysis of heat and mass transfer has been carried out for multi-wafer Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (LPCVD). Surface radiation analysis considering specular radiation among wafers, heaters, quartz tube and side plates of the reactor has been done to determine temperature distributions of 150 wafers in two dimensions. Velocity, temperature and concentration fields of chemical gases flowing in a reactor with multi-wafers have been then determined, which determines Si deposition growth rate and uniformity on wafers using two different surface reaction models. The calculation results of temperatures and Si deposition have been compared and found to be in a reasonable agreement with the previous experiments.

  • Processing of thin films by chemical vapor deposition(CVD) is accompanied by chemical reactions, in which the rigorous kinetic analysis is difficult to achieve. In these conditions, thermodynamic calculation leads to better understanding of the CVD process and helps to optimise the experimental parameters to obtain a desired product. A CVD phase diagram has been used as guide lines for the process. By determining the effect of each process variable on the driving force for deposition, the thermodynamic limit of the substrate temperature for a diamond deposition is calculated in the C-H system by assuming that the limit is defined by the CVD diamond phase diagram. The addition of iso-supersaturation ratio lines to the CVD phase diagram in the Si-Cl-H system provides additional information about the effects of CVD porcess variables.

  • Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) is commonly used for Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) fabrication, and the process can easily be applied to industrial production lines. In this works, we developed novel magnetized radio frequency PECVD system for one line process of CNTs fabrication for charge storable electrode application. The system incorporates aspects of physical and chemical vapor deposition using capacitive coupled RF plasma and magnetic confinement coils. Using this magnetized RF-PECVD system, we firstly deposited Fe layer (about 200[nm]) on Si substrate by sputter method at the temperature of 300[$^{\circ}$] and hence prepared CNTs on the Fe catalyst layer and investigated fundamental properties by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy (RS). High-density, aligned CNTs can be grown on Fe/Si substrates at the temperature of 600[$^{\circ}$] or less.
