We present gas sensing performance based on $2{\times}2$ sensor array with four different elements ($TiO_2$, $SnO_2$, $WO_3$ and $In_2O_3$ thin films) fabricated by rf sputter. Each thin film was deposited onto the selected $SiO_2$/Si substrate with Pt interdigitated electrodes (IDEs) of $5{\mu}m$ spacing which were fabricated on a $SiO_2$/Si substrate using photolithography and dry etching. For 5 ppm $NO_2$ and 50 ppm CO, each thin film sensor has a different response to offers the distinguishable response pattern for different gas molecules. Compared with the conventional micro-fabrication technology, $2{\times}2$ sensor array with such remarkable response pattern will be open a new foundation for monolithic integration of high-performance chemoresistive sensors with simplicity in fabrication, low cost, high reliablity, and multifunctional smart sensors for environmental monitoring.

Complex single buffer composed of yttrium and samarium oxide was deposited on the metallic substrates by MOCVD (metal organic chemical vapor deposition) method using single liquid source. Two different types of the substrates with in-plane textures of about $8{\sim}10$ degree of Ni and $3at.\%W-Ni$ alloy were used. Y(tmhd: 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptane dionate)$_3$:Sm(tmhd)$_3$ of liquid source was adjusted to 0.4:0.6 to minimize the lattice mismatch between the complex single buffer and the YBCO. The epitaxial growth of $(Y_{x}Sm_{1-x})_{2}O_3$ was achieved at the temperature higher than $500^{\circ}C$ in $O_2$ atmosphere. However, it was found that the formation of NiO accelerated with increasing deposition temperature. By supplying $H_{2}O$ vapor, this oxidation of the substrate could be suppressed throughout the deposition temperatures. We could get the epitaxial growth on pure Ni substrate without the formation of NiO. The competitive (222) and (400) growths were observed at the deposition temperatures of $650\~750^{\circ}C$, but the (400) growth became dominant above $800^{\circ}C$. The $(Y_{x}Sm_{1-x})_{2}O_3$-buffered metallic substrates can be used as the buffer for YBCO coated conductor.

The varous techniques for fabrication of si or metal tip as a field emission electron source have been reported due to great potential capabilities of flat panel display application. In this report, 240nm thermal oxide was initially grown at the p-type (100) (5-25 ohm-cm) 4 inch Si wafer and 310nm Si3N4 thin layer was deposited using low pressure chemical vapor deposition technique(LPCVD). The 2 micron size dot array was photolithographically patterned. The KOH anisotropic etching of the silicon substrate was utilized to provide V-groove formation. After formation of the V-groove shape, dry oxidation at 100$0^{\circ}C$ for 600 minutes was followed. In this procedure, the orientation dependent oxide growth was performed to have a etch-mask for dry etching. The thicknesses of the grown oxides on the (111) surface and on the (100) etch stop surface were found to be ~330nm and ~90nm, respectively. The reactive ion etching by 100 watt, 9 mtorr, 40 sccm Cl2 feed gas using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) system was performed in order to etch ~90nm SiO layer on the bottom of the etch stop and to etch the Si layer on the bottom. The 300 watt RF power was connected to the substrate in order to supply ~(-500)eV. The negative ion energy would enhance the directional anisotropic etching of the Cl2 RIE. After etching, remaining thickness of the oxide on the (111) was measured to be ~130nm by scanning electron microscopy.

차세대 반도체 소자의 배선재료로 사용될 것으로 예상되는 구리의 reflow 특성을 조 사하였다. 구리박막을 hole 및 trench 패턴 위에 금속유기화학증착법으로 증착하고 $350^{\circ}C$에 서 $550^{\circ}C$까지의 열처리 온도 범위 및 질소, 산소 분위기에서 열처리하였다. 질소 분위기에서 열처리 한 경우에는 구리가 패턴을 채우지 못하였고 열처리 온도 $450^{\circ}C$ 이상의 산소 분위기 에서 열처리 한 경우에는 reflow에 의하여 구리가 패턴을 채웠다. 이러한 현상은 구리의 산 화시 발생되는 열에 의하여 부분적으로 액상화된 구리가 표면에너지 및 위치에너지를 감소 시키기 위하여 패턴을 채우면서 발생하는 것으로 생각된다. 산소 분위기에서 열처리한 경우 에는 응집물 표면에 300$\AA$이하의 구리 산화물이 형성되었으며 열처리 온도 $550^{\circ}C$에서 구리 의 응집에 의하여 비저항이 급격하게 증가하였다.

Interest in the integrated capacitors, which make it possible to reduce the size of and to obtain improved electrical performance of an electronic system, is expanding. In this study, $Ta_2$O\ulcorner thin film capacitors for MCM integrated capacitors were fabricated on a Upilex-S polymer film by DC magnetron reactive sputtering and the effects of low temperature annealing at various atmospheres and substrate surface morphology on the capacitor characteristics were discussed. The low temperature($150^{\circ}C$) annealing produced improved capacitor yield irrespective of the annealing at mosphere. But the leakage current of the $O_2$-annealed film was larger than that of any other films. This is presumably mosphere. But the leakage current of the $O_2$-annealed film was larger than that of any other films. This is presumably due to the change of the $Ta_2$O\ulcorner film surface by oxygen, which was explained by conduction mechanism study. Leakage current and breakdown field strength of the capacitors fabricated on the Upilex-S film were 7.27$\times$10\ulcornerA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 1.0 MV/cm respectively. These capacitor characteristics were inferior to those of the capacitors fabricated on the Si substrate but enough to be used for decoupling capacitors in multilayer package. Roughness Analysis of each layer by AFM demonstrated that the properties of the capacitors fabricated on the polymer film were affected by the surface morphology of the substrate. This substrate effect could be classified into two factors. One is the surface morphology of the polymer film and the other is the surface morphology of the metal bottom electrode determined by the deposition process. Therefore, the control of the two factors is important to obtain improved electrical of capacitors deposited on a polymer film.

Generally, deposition mechanism of diamond particle is mainly embedding effect in the kinetic spray process. Accordingly, in spite of high cost, helium gas was employed as process gas to get high diamond fraction in the composite coating. In this study, the deposition behavior of bronze/diamond by kinetic spray process was compared using different process gas (helium and nitrogen). Bare (mean size of $5{\mu}m$, $20{\mu}m$) and nickel coated diamond (mean size of $26{\mu}m$) were deposited on Al 6061-T6 substrate with fixed process temperature and pressure. For comparison with experimental results, plastic deformation behavior of nickel layer was simulated by finite element analysis (using ABAQUS/Explicit 6.7-2). The size, broken ratio, and fraction of diamond in the composite coating were analyzed through scanning electron microscopy and image analysis method. The uniform distribution and deposition efficiency of diamond particles in the coating layer could be achieved by tailoring the physical properties of the feedstock.

Transparent film heaters (TFHs) based on Joule heating are currently an active research area. However, TFHs based on an indium tin oxide (ITO) monolayer have a number of problems. For example, heating is concentrated in part of the device. Also, heating efficiency is low because it has high sheet resistance ($R_S$). Resistance of indium zinc oxide (IZO) is similar to ITO and it can be used to flexible applications due to its amorphous structure. To solve these problems, our study introduced hybrid layers of IZO/Ag/IZO deposited by magnetron sputtering, and the electrical, optical, and thermal properties were estimated for various thickness of the metal interlayer. It was found that the sheet resistance of the multilayer was mainly dependent on the thickness of the Ag layers. The $R_S$ of IZO(40)/Ag/IZO(40nm) multilayer was 5.33, 3.29, $2.15{\Omega}/{\Box}$ for Ag thickness of 10, 15, and 20nm, respectively, while the $R_S$ of an IZO monolayer(95nm) was $59.58{\Omega}/{\Box}$. The optical transmittance at 550nm for the IZO(95nm) monolayer is 81.6%, and for the IZO(40)/Ag/IZO(40nm) multilayers with Ag thickness 10, 15 and 20nm, is for 72.8, 78.6, and 63.9%, respectively. The defrost test showed that the film with the lowest RS had the highest heat generation rate (HGR) for the same applied voltage. The results indicated that IZO(40)/Ag(15)/IZO(40nm) multilayer has the best suitable property, which is a promising thin film heater for the application in vehicle windshield.

As the trench width in the interconnect technology decreases down to nano-scale below 50 nm, superconformal gap-filling process of Cu becomes very critical for Cu interconnect. Obtaining superconfomral gap-filling of Cu in the nano-scale trench or via hole using MOCVD is essential to control nucleation and growth of Cu. Therefore, nucleation of Cu must be suppressed near the entrance surface of the trench while Cu layer nucleates and grows at the bottom of the trench. In this study, suppression of Cu nucleation was achieved by treating the Ru barrier metal surface with capacitively coupled hydrogen plasma. Effect of hydrogen plasma pretreatment on Cu nucleation was investigated during MOCVD on atomic-layer deposited (ALD)-Ru barrier surface. It was found that the nucleation and growth of Cu was affected by hydrogen plasma treatment condition. In particular, as the plasma pretreatment time and electrode power increased, Cu nucleation was inhibited. Experimental data suggests that hydrogen atoms from the plasma was implanted onto the Ru surface, which resulted in suppression of Cu nucleation owing to prevention of adsorption of Cu precursor molecules. Due to the hydrogen plasma treatment of the trench on Ru barrier surface, the suppression of Cu nucleation near the entrance of the trenches was achieved and then led to the superconformal gap filling of the nano-scale trenches. In the case for without hydrogen plasma treatments, however, over-grown Cu covered the whole entrance of nano-scale trenches. Detailed mechanism of nucleation suppression and resulting in nano-scale superconformal gap-filling of Cu will be discussed in detail.
