열필라멘트 화학증착공정(Hot Wire Chemical Vapor Deposition)에서 기상 에서 생성되는 하전된 실리콘 나노입자와 저온결정성 실리콘박막 증착의 연관성을 압력의 변화에 따른 상호비교를 통해 조사하였다. 필라멘트 온도는 $1800^{\circ}C$로 고정시키고 0.3~2 torr의 범위에서 공정 압력을 변화시키면서 증착하였다. 압력이 증가함에 따라 증착된 실리콘 박막의 결정화도는 증가하였으며, 증착속도는 감소하였다. 반응기 압력에 따른 기상에서 생성되는 나노입자의 크기분포의 변화를 조사하기 위하여 탄소막이 코팅된 투과전자현미경(Transmission Electron Microscopy) 그리드 위에 실리콘 나노입자를 포획하고 관찰하였다. 포획된 실리콘 나노입자의 크기분포와 개수농도는 압력이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 투과전자현미경을 이용하여 분석한 결과, 나노입자는 결정성 구조를 보였다. 압력이 증가함에 따라 나노입자의 크기가 감소하고 개수농도가 감소하는 것은 증착속도의 감소와 관련됨을 알 수 있다. 한편, 공정압력 증가에 따른 나노입자의 크기분포 및 개수농도 감소와 증착속도의 감소는 일반적으로 알려진 기상에서 석출하는 고상의 평형석출량(equilibrium amount of precipitation)이 압력의 증가함에 따라 증가한다는 사실과 일치하지 않는다. 이러한 압력경향성은 Si-H 시스템이 0.3~2 torr의 압력 영역에서 retrograde solubility를 갖는 것을 의미한다. 나노입자의 하전여부, 크기분포 및 개수농도를 측정하기 위하여 입자빔질량분석장비(Particle Beam Mass Spectroscopy)를 이용하였다. 그 결과, 실리콘 나노입자는 양 또는 음의 극성을 가진 하전된 상태임을 확인하였고, 투과전자현미경(TEM) grid에 포획한 실리콘 나노입자의 크기와 경향성이 일치하였다. 이는 나노입자가 저온의 기판에서 핵생성되어 성장하여 생성된 것이 아니라 열필라멘트 주위의 고온영역에서 생성된 것을 의미한다.

HVPE(Hydride vapor phase epitaxy) 공법은 기체상의 원료를 사용하여 박막 또는 단결정을 제조하는 공법이다. 화학적 기상증착법의 원리를 적용하여 난용융성 또는 고융점의 물질의 단결정을 성장할 수 있는 공법으로서, 질화갈륨(GaN) 단결정을 얻을 수 있는 공법 중 하나이다. 최근 동 공법을 이용하여 질화알루미늄(AlN) 단결정을 성장하고자 하는 연구가 많이 수행되어져 왔으나, 아직은 좋은 결과를 얻지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 AlN 단결정을 HVPE 공법으로 성장하고자 하였다. 성장 공정에서 질소를 운송가스(Carrior gas)로 사용하였으며, 질소(N2)의 양의 변화에 따른 성장 결과를 고찰하여 보았다. 질소의 양이 증가함에 따른 성장 결정의 변화 양상을 확인할 수 있었다. 성장된 AlN 단결정의 형상을 광학 현미경을 사용하여 관찰하였고, 이중결정 X선 회절 분석(DCXRD, Double crystal X-ray diffractometry)을 이용하여, AlN 결정의 생성을 확인함과 동시에 성장된 단결정의 결정성도 알아보았다.

A simplified model for an isolated aluminum particle burning in air is presented. Burning process consists of two stages, ignition and quasi-steady combustion (QSC). In ignition stage, aluminum which is inside of oxide film melts owing to the self heating called heterogeneous surface reaction (HSR) as well as the convective and radiative heat transfer from ambient air until the particle temperature reaches melting point of oxide film. In combustion stage, gas phase reaction occurs, and quasi-steady diffusion flame is assumed. For simplicity, 1-dimesional spherical symmetric condition and flame sheet assumption are also used. Extended conserved scalar formulations and modified Shvab-Zeldovich functions are used that account for the deposition of metal oxide on the surface of the molten aluminum. Using developed model, time variation of particle temperature, masses of molten aluminum and deposited oxide are predicted. Burning rate, flame radius and temperature are also calculated, and compared with some experimental data.

300 mW-cm의 낮은 비저항을 갖는 카본-질소$\_$텅스텐 (W-C-N) 확산방지막을 원자층 증착법으로 제조하였으며, 반응기체로 $WF_6-N_2-CH_4$를 사용하였다. $N_2$ 및 $CH_4$ 반응기체를 주입 할 때는 고주파 펄스를 인가하여 플라즈마에 의한 반응물의 분리가 일어나도록 하였다. 다층금속배선에 사용하는 층간 절연층 (TEOS) 위에서 W-C-N 박막은 원자층 증착기구를 따르며, 10에서 100 사이클 동안 증착율이 0.2nm/cycles 로 일정한 값을 가진다. 또한 Cu 배선을 위한 확산방지막으로써 W-C-N 박막은 비정질 상을 가지며, $800^{\circ}C$에서 30분간 열처리해도 Cu의 확산을 충분히 방지할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon(${\mu}c$-Si:H) films were prepared using inductively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition(ICP-CVD) method, electrical and optical properties of these films were studied as a function of silane concentration. And then, effect of $PH_3\;and\;B_2H_6$ addition on their electrical properties was also investigated for solar cell application. Characterization of these films from X-ray diffraction revealed that the conductive film exists in microcrystalline phase embedded in an amorphous network. At $PH_3/SiH_4$ gas ratio of $0.9{\times}10^{-3}$, dark conductivity has a maximum value of ${\sim}18.5S/cm$ and optical bandgap also a maximum value of ${\sim}2.39eV$. Boron-doped ${\mu}c$-Si:H films, satisfied with p-layer of solar cell, could be obtained at ${\sim}10^{-2}\;of\;B_2H_6/SiH_4$.

This paper describes a condensation-evaporation method (CEM) to produce size-controlled spherical silver nanoparticles by perturbing coagulation and coalescence processes in the gas phase. Polydisperse silver nanoparticles generated by the CEM were first introduced into a differential mobility analyzer (DMA) to select a group of silver nanoparticles with same electrical mobility, which also enables to make a group of nanoparticles with elongated structures and same projected area. These silver nanoparticles selected by the DMA were then in-situ sintered at ${\sim}600^{\circ}C$, and then they were observed to turn into spherical shaped nanoparticles by the rapid coalescence process. With the assistance of modified converging-typed quartz reactor, we can also produce the 10 times higher number concentration of silver nanoparticles compared with a general quartz reactor with uniform diameter. Finally, the spherical silver nanoparticles with 30 nm were electrostatically deposited on the surface of silicon substrate with the coverage rate of ~4%/hr. This useful preparation method of size-controlled monodisperse silver nanoparticles developed in this work can be applied to the various studies for characterizing the physical, chemical, optical, and biological properties of nanoparticles as a function of their size.

Single crystal cubic silicon carbide(3C-SiC) thin film were deposited on Si(100) substrate up to a thickness of $4.3{\mu}m$ by APCVD(atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition) method using hexamethyildisilane(HMDS) at $1350^{\circ}C$. The HMDS flow rate was 0.5 sccm and the carrier gas flow rate was 2.5 slm. The HMDS flow rate was important to get a mirror-like. The growth rate of the 3C-SiC films was $4.3{\mu}m/hr$. The 3C-SiC epitaxical layers on Si(100) were characterized by XRD(X-ray diffraction), raman scattering and RHEED(reflection high-energy electron diffraction), respectively. The 3C-SiC distinct phonons of TO(transverse optical) near $796cm^{-1}$ and LO(longitudinal optical) near $974{\pm}1cm^{-1}$ were recorded by raman scattering measurement. The deposition films were identified as the single crystal 3C-SiC phase by XRD spectra($2{\theta}=41.5^{\circ}$). Also, with increase of films thickness, RHEED patterns gradually changed from a spot pattern to a streak pattern.

We report the growth of carbon nanotubes (CNT) on Invar-42 plates using coal tar pitch (CTP) by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. The solid phase CTP is used as an inexpensive carbon source since it produces a bunch of hydrocarbon gases such as $CH_4$ and other $C_xH_v$ by thermal decomposition over $450^{\circ}C$. The Invar-42 is a representative Ni-based ferrous alloy and can be used repetitively as a substrate for CNT growth because Ni and Fe are used as very active catalytic elements. We changed mixing ratio of carrier gases, argon and hydrogen, and temperature of growth region. It was found that the optimum gas ratio and temperature for high quality CNT growth are $Ar:H_2=400:400$ sccm and $1000^{\circ}C$, respectively. In addition, the carbon nanoball (CNB) was also obtained by just changing the mixing ratio to $Ar:H_2=100:600$ sccm. Finally, CTP can be employed as a versatile carbon source to produce various carbon-based nanomaterials, such as CNT and CNB.

A fluid model of 2D axis-symmetry based on inductively coupled plasma (ICP) reactor using $N_2/NH_3/SiH_4$ gas mixture has been developed for hydrogenated silicon nitride ($SiN_x:H$) deposition. The model was comprised of 62 species (electron, neutral, ions, and excitation species), 218 chemical reactions, and 45 surface reactions. The pressure (10~40 mTorr) and gas mixture ratio ($N_2$ 80~96 %, $NH_3$ 2~10 %, $SiH_4$ 2~10 %) were considered simulation variables and the input power fixed at 1000 W. Different distributions of electron, ions, and molecules density were observed with pressure. Although ionization rate of $SiH_2{^+}$ is higher than $SiH_3{^+}$ by electron direct reaction with $SiH_4$, the number density of $SiH_3{^+}$ is higher than $SiH_2{^+}$ in over 30 mTorr. Also, number density of $NH^+$ and $NH_4{^+}$ dramatically increased by pressure increase because these species are dominantly generated by gas phase reactions. The change of gas mixture ratio not affected electron density and temperature. With $NH_3$ and $SiH_4$ gases ratio increased, $SiH_x$ and $NH_x$ (except $NH^+$ and $NH_4{^+}$) ions and molecules are linearly increased. Number density of amino-silane molecules ($SiH_x(NH_2)_y$) were detected higher in conditions of high $SiH_x$ and $NH_x$ molecules density.
