We investigate the electronic and magnetic properties in Cu-doped InN with the N vacancy ($V_N$) from first principles calculations. There is the long-range ferromagnetic order between two Cu atoms, attributed to the hole-mediated double exchange through the strong p-d interaction between the Cu atom and neighboring N atom. The system of $V_N$ defect in Cu-doped InN has the lowest formation energy. Due to the hybridization between the Cu-3d and $V_N$ states, the spin-polarization on the Cu atoms in the InN lattice is reduced by $V_N$ defect. So, it shows a weak ferromagnetic behavior.

Cu-Cu bonding, one of the key technologies in advanced packaging, enhances semiconductor chip performance, miniaturization, and energy efficiency by facilitating rapid data transfer and low power consumption. However, the quality of the interface bonding can significantly impact overall bond quality, necessitating strategies to quickly detect and classify in-process defects. This study presents a methodology for detecting defects in wafer junction areas from Scanning Acoustic Microscopy images using a ResNet-50 based deep learning model. Additionally, the use of the defect map is proposed to rapidly inspect and categorize defects occurring during the Cu-Cu bonding process, thereby improving yield and productivity in semiconductor manufacturing.

We studied the effect on the electronic and magnetic properties of the N defect in clean and Cu-doped wurtzite III-nitrides by using the first-principles calculations. When it is doped two Cu atoms in the nearest neighboring sites, the system of AlN, GaN, or InN with the N vacancy is energetically more favorable than that without the N vacancy site. When the Cu concentration increases, the total magnetic moment of a supercell becomes small. The ferromagnetism of Cu atom is very low due to the weak 3d-3d coupling. It is noticeable that the spin-exchange interaction between the Cu-3d and N defect states is important.

The furnace brazing in a Ar of copper to martensitic stainless steel(13.5Cr) using Cu-(5~8%)P-(0~8%)Sn powders was investigated. Shear strength, wettability, reacted layer, defect ratio at the stainless steel interface was evaluated. As Sn was added to the Cu-P powders, defect ratio and P content at the stainless steel interface decreased. And also as Sn was added, defect form at the stainless steel interface changed from the continuous layer to the discrete type, and shear strength of the brazed joint increased.

A blue phosphor(ZnS:Cu) is manufactured by solid state reaction for ACPEL(AC powder EL). The effect of artificial defect on phosphor surface on the ZnO phase conversion and resulting luminescence have been studied. It was found that ZnS:Cu could converse to cubic phase more easily due to the formation of artificial defect on 1st fired phosphor by ball-milling process, resulting in improvement of luminescence of phosphor phosphors under the driven EL condition. We found out an optimized ball-mill condition through considering effect of each ball-mill conditions such as milling time and milling rpm on defect. Also we determined relationship between emission luminescence and phase of phosphor based on analyses of crystal structures of phosphors. A significant improvement above 30% was observed in electroluminescence by the artificial defect on ZnS:Cu phosphors compared to non-treated phosphors.

We have grown famatinite $Cu_3SbS_4$ films by using sulfurization of Cu/Sb stack film. Sulfurization at $500^{\circ}C$ produced famatinite $Cu_3SbS_4$ phase, while $400^{\circ}C$ and $450^{\circ}C$ sulfurization exhibited unreacted and mixed phases. The fabricated $Cu_3SbS_4$ film showed S-deficiency, and secondary phase of $Cu_{12}Sb_4S_{13}$. The secondary phase was confirmed by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence and external quantum efficiency measurements. We have also fabricated solar cell in substrate type structure, ITO/ZnO/(Zn,Sn)O/$Cu_3SbS_4$/Mo/glass, where $Cu_3SbS_4$ was used as a absorber layer and (Zn,Sn)O was employed as a Cd-free buffer. Our best cell showed power conversion efficiency of 0.198%. Characterization results of $Cu_3SbS_4$ absorber indicates deep defect (due to S-deficiency) and low shunt resistance (due to $Cu_{12}Sb_4S_{13}$ phase). Thus in order to improve the cell efficiency, it is required to grow high quality $Cu_3SbS_4$ film with no S-deficiency and no secondary phase.

Cu via fill 도금 시, void, seam과 같은 내부 defects는 공정 중 신뢰성을 떨어뜨리며, 전기신호 전달속도를 느리게 한다. 또한 Cu via fell 도금 공정 중 발생하는 과도한 Cu 표면 도금층은 wafer thenning 공정의 생산성 저하와 공정 비용 상승을 유발한다. 3D Interconnection용 직경 30${\mu}$m, 깊이 120${\mu}$m (Aspect Ratio : 4) Via를 이용하여 정류방법, 전류 parameter, 첨가제 조성에 따른 Cu via felling 특성과 overburden두께 변화를 실험적으로 검증하였다.

Cu-based sulfides have recently emerged as promising thermoelectric (TE) materials due to their low cost, non-toxicity, and abundance. In this research, point defect structure of Cu_2-xZnSnS₄ (x=0.1, 0.2, 0.3) samples were synthesized by the mechanical alloying method. Mixed powders of Cu, Zn, Sn and S were milled using high energy ball milling at a rotation speed of 300 rpm in Ar atmosphere. The milled Cu_2-xZnSnS₄ powders were heat-treated at 723 K for 24 h, and subsequently consolidated using spark plasma sintering (SPS) under an applied pressure of 60 MPa for 15 min. The thermal conductivity of the sintered Cu_2-xZnSnS₄ samples was evaluated. A well-defined Cu_2-xZnSnS₄ powders were successfully formed after milling for 16 h, with the particle sizes mostly distributed in the range of 60-100 nm. The lattice constants of aand cdecreased with increasing composition value x. The thermal conductivity of sintered x=0.1 sample exhibited the lowest value and attained 0.93 W/m K at 673 K.

The defect sites on chemical vapor deposition grown graphene are investigated through the selective electrochemical deposition (SED) of Au nanoparticles. For SED of Au nanoparticles, an engineered potential pulse is applied to the working electrode versus the reference electrode, thereby highlighting the defect sites, which are more reactive relative to the pristine surface. Most defect sites decorated by Au nanoparticles are situated along the Cu grain boundaries, implying that the origin of the defects lies in the synthesis of uneven graphene layers on the rough Cu surface.
