Progress in Si crystal and wafer technologies is discussed on single crystal growth, wafer fabrication, epitaxial growth, gettering, 300 mm and SOI. As for bulk crystal growth, the mechanism of grown-in defects (voids) formation, the succes of grown-in defect free crystal growth technology and nitrogen doped crystal are shown. New wafer fabrication technologies such as both-side mirror polishing and etchingless process have been developed. The epitaxial growth of SiGe/Si heterostructure for high speed bipolar device is treated. Gettering technology under low temperature process such as RTP is important, and also it is shown that IG effect for Ni could be predicted using computer simulation of precipitate density and size. The development of 300 mm wafer and SOI has made progress steadily.

The epitaxial $BaTiO_{3}$ thin film was prepared on the MgO substrate by the coating-pyrolysis process using a mixed solution of Ba-naphthenate and Ti-naphthenate. The crystal structure of the epitaxial $BaTiO_{3}$ thin film was characterized by XRD ${\theta}/2{\theta}$ scan and asymmetric {303} rocking curve scan. The epitaxial $BaTiO_{3}$ thin film had the cubic phase with the lattice parameter of a = c = 0.4018 nm.

Epitaxial growth of a high-quality thin Si film is essential for the application to low-cost thin-film Si solar cells. A polycrystalline Si film was grown on a $SiO_2$ substrate at $450^{\circ}C$ by a Al-assisted crystal growth process. For the purpose, a thin Al layer was deposited on the $SiO_2$ substrate for Al-assisted crystal growth. However, the epitaxial growth of Si film resulted in a rough surface with humps. Then, we introduced a thin amorphous Si seed layer on the Al film to minimize the initial roughness of Si film. With the help of the Si seed layer, the surface of the epitaxial Si film was smooth and the crystallinity of the Si film was much improved. The grain size of the $1.5-{\mu}m$-thick Si film was as large as 1 mm. The Al content in the Si film was 3.7% and the hole concentration was estimated to be $3{\times}10^{17}/cm^3$, which was one order of magnitude higher than desirable value for Si base layer. The results suggest that Al-doped Si layer could be use as a seed layer for additional epitaxial growth of intrinsic or boron-doped Si layer because the Al-doped Si layer has large grains.

In-situ cleaning and subsequent silicon epitaxial film growth were performed in a load-locked reactor equipped with Hg-grid UV lamp and PBN heater to obtain the smooth and contaminant-free underlying surface and develop low-temperature epitaxial film growth process. The removals of organic and native oxide were investigated using UV-excited $O_2$ and $NF_{3}/H_{2}$, and the effect of the surface condition was examined on the quality of silicon epitaxial film grown at temperature as low as $750^{\circ}C$. UV-excited gas phase cleaning was found to be effective in removing the organic and native oxide successfully providing a smooth surface with RMS roughness of 0.5$\AA$ at optimal condition. Crystalline quality of epitaxial film was determined by smoothness of cleaned surface and the presence of native oxide and impurity. Crystalline defects such as dislocation loops or voids due to the surface roughness were observed by XTEM.

Epitaxial Si layers were deposited on n- or p-type Si(100) substrates by hot-wall chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique using the {{{{ {SiH }_{ 2} {Cl }_{2 } - {H }_{ 2} }}}}chemistry. Thermodynamic calculations if the Si-H-Cl system were carried out to predict the window of actual Si deposition procedd and to investigate the effects of process variables(i.e., the deposition temperature, the reactor pressure, and the source gas molar ratios) on the growth of epitaxial layers. The calculated optimum process conditions were applied to the actual growth runs, and the results were in good agreement with the calculation. The expermentally determined optimum process conditions were found to be the deposition temperature between 900 and 9$25^{\circ}C$, the reactor pressure between 2 and 5 Torr, and source gad molar ration({{{{ {H }_{2 }/ {SiH }_{ 2} {Cl }_{2 } }}}}) between 30 and 70, achieving high-quality epitaxial layers.

단결정상의 ZnO 에피 박막 성장을 사파이어 기판의 (0001)면 상에 RF magnetron sputtering 법으로 수행하였다. 200～$600^{\circ}C$까지의 기판의 온도를 변화하여 가면서 ZnO 에피 박막의 성장 거동을 조사하였으며, 성장된 ZnO 박막에 대하여 산소분위기에서 400, 600, $800^{\circ}C$에서 각각 아닐링을 하여 이에 대한 광 특성을 평가하였다. Hall measurement에 의해 측정 된 carrier concentratin은 $600^{\circ}C$에서 아닐링하여 $2.6${\times}$10^{16}\textrm{cm}^{-3}$이었다.

SiC single crystal Ingots were prepared onto different seed material using sublimation PVT techniques and then their crystal quality was systematically compared. In this study, the conventional SiC seed material and the new SiC seed material with an inserted SiC epitaxial layer on a seed surface were used as a seed for SiC bulk growth. The inserted epitaxial layer was grown by a sublimation epitaxy method called the CST with a low growth rate of $2{\mu}m/h$ N-type 2"-SIC single crystals exhibiting the polytype of 6H-SiC were successfully fabricated and carrier concentration levels of below $10^{17}/cm^3$ were determined from the absorption spectrum and Hall measurements. The slightly higher growth rate and carrier concentration were obtained in SiC single crystal Ingot grown on new SiC Seed materials with the inserted epitaxial layer on the seed surface, maintaining the high quality.

본 연구에서는 패턴화된 사파이어 기판 위에 HVPE(Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy System) 법에 의해 50 nm 두께의 AlN thin film을 증착한 뒤, 에피층 구조가 MO CVD에서 성장되었다. AlN 버퍼층 박막의 표면형상이 SEM, AFM에 의해서, 에피층 구조의 GaN 박막의 결정성은 X-선 rocking curve에 의해 분석되었다. 패턴화된 사파이어 기판 위에 증착된 GaN 박막은, 사파이어 기판 위에 증착된 GaN 박막의 경우보다 XRD 피크 세기가 다소 높은 결과를 나타냈다. AFM 표면 형상에서 사파이어 기판 위에 AlN 박막이 증착된 경우, GaN 에피층 박막의 p-side 쪽의 v-pit 밀도가 상대적으로 낮았으며, 결함밀도가 낮게 관찰되었다. 또한, AlN 버퍼층이 증착된 에피층 구조는 AlN 박막이 없는 에피층의 광출력에 비해 높은 값을 나타냈다.

Polycrystalline and epitaxial heterostructure films of $La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_{3}/Pb(Nb_{0.04}Zr_{0.28}Ti_{0.68})O_{3}/La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_{3}$ (LSCO/PNZT/LSCO) capacitors were evaluated in terms of low voltage and high speed operation in high density memory, using TiN/Pt conducting barrier combination. Structural studies for a high density ferroelectric memory process flow, which requires the integration of conducting barrier layers to connect the drain of the pass-gate transistor to the bottom electrode of the ferroelectric stack, indicate complete phase purity (i.e. fully perovskite) in both epitaxial and polycrystalline materials. The polycrystalline capacitors show lower remnant polarization and coercive voltages. However, the retention, and high-speed characteristics are similar, indicating minimal influence of crystalline quality on the ferroelectric properties.
