In this paper, we study on the plasma polymerized styrene as a negative electron-beam resist. Plasma polymerized thin film was prepared using an interelectrode inductively coupled gas-flow type reactor. We show that polymerization parameters of thin film affect sensitivity and etching resistance of the resist. Molecular weight distribution of plasma polymerized styrene is 1.41-3.93, and deposition rates of that are 32-383[.angs./min] with discharge power. Swelling and etching resistance becomes . more improved with increasing discharge power during plasma polymerization. Etch rate by RIE is higher than that by plasma etching.

최근 발광다이오드(LED)의 출력 성능을 높이고, 전력 소비를 줄이기 위해 LED 패키지 분야에서 실리콘 기판 연구가 집중되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 공정 비용이 낮고 생산성이 높은 습식 식각을 이용하여 실리콘 기판의 실리콘 관통 비아 식각 공정을 살펴보았다. KOH를 이용한 양면 습식 식각 공정과 습식 식각과 건식 식각을 병행한 두 가지 공정 방법으로 실리콘 관통 비아를 제작하였고, 식각된 실리콘 관통 비아에 Cu 전극과 배선은 전기도금으로 증착하였다. Cu 전극을 연결하는 배선의 전기저항은 약 $5.5{\Omega}$ 정도로 낮게 나타났고, 실리콘 기판의 열 저항은 4 K/W으로 AlN 세라믹 기판과 비슷한 결과를 보였다.

Plasma etching is an essential process for electronic device industries and the particulate contamination during plasma etching has been interested as a big issue for the yield of productivity. The oxynitride glasses have a merit to prevent particulate contamination due to their amorphous structure and plasma etching resistance. The YSiAlON oxynitride glasses with increasing nitrogen content were manufactured. Each oxynitride glasses were fluorine-plasma etched and their plasma etching rate and surface roughness were compared with reference materials such as sapphire, alumina and quartz. The reinforcement mechanism of plasma etching resistance of the YSiAlON glasses studied by depth profiling at plasma etched surface using electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis. The plasma etching rate decreased with nitrogen content and there was no selective etching at the plasma etched surface of the oxynitride glasses. The concentration of silicon was very low due to the generation of SiF4 very volatile byproduct and the concentration of aluminum and yttrium was relatively constant. The elimination of silicon atoms during plasma etching was reduced with increasing nitrogen content because the content of the nitrogen was constant. And besides, the concentration of oxygen was very low on the plasma etched surface. From the study, the plasma etching resistance of the glasses may be improved by the generation of nitrogen related structural groups and those are proved by chemical composition analysis at plasma etched surface of the YSiAlON oxynitride glasses.

Hydrogen has emerged as an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. However, the utilization of hydrogen requires high-pressure compression, storage, and transportation, which poses challenges to the durability of compressor components, particularly the diaphragm. This study aims to improve the durability of 304 stainless steel diaphragms in hydrogen compressors by optimizing their surface roughness and corrosion resistance through wet etching. The specimens were prepared by immersing 304 stainless steel in a mixture of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide, followed by etching in hydrochloric acid for various durations. The surface morphology, roughness, and wettability of the etched specimens were characterized using optical microscopy, surface profilometry, and water contact angle measurements. The friction and wear characteristics were evaluated using reciprocating sliding tests. The results showed that increasing the etching time led to the development of micro/nanostructures on the surface, thereby increasing surface roughness and hydrophilicity. The friction coefficient initially decreased with increasing surface roughness owing to the reduced contact area but increased during long-term wear owing to the destruction and delamination of surface protrusions. HCl-30M exhibited the lowest average friction coefficient and a balance between the surface roughness and oxide film formation, resulting in improved wear resistance. These findings highlight the importance of controlling the surface roughness and oxide film formation through etching optimization to obtain a uniform and wear-resistant surface for the enhanced durability of 304 stainless steel diaphragms in hydrogen compressors.

The plasma resistance of multi-component glasses containing La, Gd, Ti, Zn, Y, Zr, Nb, and Ta was analyzed in this study. The plasma etching was performed via inductively coupled plasma-reactive ion etching (ICP-RIE) using CF₄/O₂/Ar mixed gas. After the reaction, the glass with a low fluoride sublimation temperature and high content of P, Si, and Ti elements showed a high etching rate. On the other hand, the glass containing a high fluoride sublimation temperature component such as Ca, La, Gd, Y, and Zr exhibited high plasma resistance because the etch rate was lower than that of sapphire. Glass with low plasma resistance increased surface roughness after etching or nanoholes were formed on the surface, but glass with high plasma resistance showed little change in surface microstructure. Thus, the results of this study demonstrate the potential for the development of plasma-resistant glasses (PRGs) with other compositions besides alumino-silicate glasses, which are conventionally referred to as plasma-resistant glasses.

습식 식각은 식각용액으로서 화학용액을 사용하는 공정으로 반응물이 기판표면에서 화학반응을 일으켜 표면을 식각하는 과정이다. 습식 식각 시 수${\mu}m$의 해상도를 얻기 위해서는 그 부식액의 조성이나, 에칭시간, 부식액의 온도 등을 고려하여야 한다. 본 실험에서 사용한 금속은 Cr, Al, ITO 로 모두 DC sputter 방법을 사용해서 증착하여 사용하였다. Cr박막은 $1300{\AA}$ 정도의 두께를 사용하였고, ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) 박막은 가시광 영역에서 투명하고 (80% 이상의 transmittance), 저저항 (Sheet Resistance : $50\;{\Omega}/sq$ 이하) 인 박막을 사용하였으며, 신호선으로 주로 사용되는 Al등의 증착조건에 따른 wet etching 특성을 조사하였다.

PCB 기판의 구리 식각 시 전기도금된 배선과 기지층의 전도층은 다른 에칭 특성을 가지며 이로 인한 배선의 과에칭과 배선기저부의 언터컷 현상이 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 구리 에칭의 조성 변화에 따른 구리 에칭 특성에 대하여 연구하였다. 분극법과 OCV (open circuit voltage)를 이용하여 에칭액의 전기도금 구리와 기지층 구리의 최적 과산화수소와 황산의 농도를 얻었다. OCV와 ZRA (zero resistance ammeter)분석법을 이용하여 억제재의 효과를 비교하였다. 구리배선과 기지층간의 갈바닉 전류를 ZRA 방법을 이용하여 측정 비교하였다. 갈바닉 전류를 최소화하는 억제재를 ZRA를 이용한 갈바닉 쌍으로부터 선택할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 습식 식각으로 제작된 구리 전극을 가진 다중벽 탄소나노튜브 PDMS 복합재료 변형율 센서의 전기적 특성을 고찰하였다. MWCNT의 질량분율에 따라 MWCNT-PDMS 변형율 센서를 제작한 후, 전극 부착 표면을 습식 식각한 후 은-에폭시 전도성 접착제를 이용하여 구리 박판을 부착하였다. 2-프로브 방법으로 변형율 센서의 전기 전도성을 측정한 결과, 초기 저항은 MWCNT 함량과 식각 시간에 반비례하였지만 30% 변형율에 대한 저항 변화율은 MWCNT 함량과식각 시간에 비례하였다. 100회 반복 하중 시험 후 저항 변형율 감소는 MWCNT 함량이 증가할수록 식각 시간이 짧아질수록 상대적으로 작게 나타났다. 이는 식각에 의해 MWCNT-PDMS 변형율 센서의 초기 저항 감소에 기인한 것으로 판단된다.

The particle generation during the plasma enhanced process is highly considered as serious problem in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. The material for the plasma processing chamber requires the plasma etching characteristics which are homogeneously etched surface and low plasma etching depth for preventing particulate contamination and high durability. We found that the materials without grain boundaries can prevent the particle generation. Therefore, the amorphous material with the low plasma etching rate may be the best candidate for the plasma processing chamber instead of the polycrystalline materials such as yttria and alumina. Three glasses based on $SiO_2$ and $Al_2O_3$ were prepared with various rare-earth elements (Gd, Y and La) which are same content in the glass. The glasses were plasma etched in the same condition and their plasma etching rate was compared including reference materials such as Si-wafer, quartz, yttria and alumina. The mechanical and thermal properties of the glasses were highly related with cationic field strength (CFS) of the rare-earth elements. We assumed that the plasma etching resistance may highly contributed by the thermal properties of the fluorine byproducts generated during the plasma exposure and it is expected that the Gd containing glass may have the highest plasma etching resistance due to the highest sublimation temperature of $GdF_3$ among three rare-earth elements (Gd, Y and La). However, it is found that the plasma etching results is highly related with the mechanical property of the glasses which indicates the cationic field strength. From the result, we conclude that the glass structure should be analyzed and the plasma etching test should be conducted with different condition in the future to understand the plasma etching behavior of the glasses perfectly.
