본 연구는 HMDS/$O_2$/He/Ar의 gas mixture를 이용하여 remote-type의 DBD source를 통한 APPECVD를 통한 SiOx 양질의 무기막 증착 공정을 개발하였다. 이때 기판에 바이어스를 인가 하거나 혹은 접지를 하여 대기압 플라즈마의 환경 내에서도 바이어스 효과를 확인할 수 있도록 double discharge system을 구축하였다. 그리고 이 double discharge system의 다양한 특성과 기존의 전형적인 DBD와 비교 하였을 때 어떠한 차이점을 가지는지에 대해서도 관찰하였다. 그리하여 전형적인 DBD system과 double discharge를 통해 증착된 SiOx 무기막의 특성을 역시 비교 관찰하였다. Gas mixture 중 HMDS의 유량이 증가함에 따라, 그리고 $O_2$ gas의 유량이 감소함에 따라 SiOx 무기막의 증착률은 감소하였다. 그러나, SiOx 무기막 내의 불순물들, 예를 들어, carbon 혹은 hydrogen 계열의 chemical bond에 대한 정성적인 양은 HMDS 의 유량이 증가하거나 혹은 $O_2$ gas의 양이 감소함에 따라 오히려 증가함을 관찰할 수 있었다. 그리고 기판에 바이어스를 인가하는 double discharge system을 사용하였을 경우, 같은 HMDS, $O_2$ gas 유량을 사용한 전형적인 DBD type의 증착 공정 보다 더 높은 공정 효율을 나타냄과 동시에 더 낮은 불순물 함량을 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 double discharge system을 통해 증착된 양질의 SiOx 무기막이 증착 되었음을 FT-IR을 통한 막질 분석을 통해 확인 할 수 있었다. 이러한 double discharge system의 증착 공정에 대한 긍정적인 효과들은 atmospheric discharge의 효율 향상에 따른 gas dissociation efficiency 증가와 이를 통한 HMDS 분해 및 산소와의 recombination 효율의 증가에 따른 결과로 사료된다.

Single crystal 3C-SiC(cubic silicon carbide) thin-films were deposited on Si(100) substrate up to a thickness of $4.3{\mu}m$ by APCVD method using HMDS(hexamethyildisilane) 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 crystal surface. The growth rate of the 3C-SiC films was $4.3{\mu}m/hr$. The 3C-SiC epitaxical films grown on Si(100) were characterized by XRD, AFM, RHEED, XPS and raman scattering, 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 heteroepitaxially grown films were identified as the single crystal 3C-SiC phase by XRD spectra$(2{\theta}=41.5^{\circ})$.

This paper describes the characteristics of polycrystalline ${\beta}$ or 3C (cubic)-SiC (silicon carbide) thin films heteroepitaxailly grown on Si wafers with thermal oxide. In this work, the poly 3C-SiC film was deposited by APCVD (atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition) method using HMDS (hexamethyildisilane: $Si_{2}(CH_{3}_{6})$ single precursor. The deposition was performed under various conditions to determine the optimized growth conditions. The crystallinity of the 3C-SiC thin film was analyzed by XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), XRD (X-ray diffraction) and FT-IR (fourier transform-infrared spectometers), respectively. The surface morphology was also observed by AFM (atomic force microscopy) and voids or dislocations between SiC and $SiO_{2}$ were measured by SEM (scanning electron microscope). Finally, depth profiling was invesigated by GDS (glow discharge spectrometer) for component ratios analysis of Si and C according to the grown 3C-SiC film thickness. From these results, the grown poly 3C-SiC thin film is very good crystalline quality, surface like mirror and low defect. Therfore, the poly 3C-SiC thin film is suitable for extreme environment, Bio and RF MEMS applications in conjunction with Si micromaching.

This paper describes the heteroepitaxial growth of single-crystalline 3C-SiC (cubic silicon carbide) thin films on Si (100) wafers by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) at 1350 oC for micro/nanoelectromechanical system (M/NEMS) applications, in which hexamethyldisilane (HMDS, Si2(CH3)6) was used as a safe organosilane single-source precursor. The HMDS flow rate was 0.5 sccm and the H2 carrier gas flow rate was 2.5 slm. The HMDS flow rate was important in obtaing a mirror-like crystalline surface. The growth rate of the 3C-SiC film in this work was 4.3 μm/h. A 3C-SiC epitaxial film grown on the Si (100) substrate was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman scattering, respectively. These results show that the main chemical components of the grown film were single-crystalline 3C-SiC layers. The 3C-SiC film had a very good crystal quality without twins, defects or dislocations, and a very low residual stress.

In this study, we were clearly identify the behaviour characteristics on particle size distribution of a condensing species by injection condition of HMDS (Hexa Methyl Di-Silazane, silica precursor that is one of liquid adsorbents) to remove condensing gaseous species as using pyroligneous liquor generated during carbonization process of biomass as precursor of condensing gaseous species. When using HMDS to remove the condensing gaseous species by growth machanism of particles, we could be controlled properly particles size such as amount of adsorbent injection, residence time, heating temperature and MFC flux. Especially, in case of using the silica precursor, in consideration of the physical and chemical properties of the boiling point, the specific gravity and the molecular weight, we found that the condensing species could be effectively controlled by particles granulation.

To compare the quality of ultrastructural preservation of Scanning Electron Microscopic specimens dried with different methods; pure air-drying, air-drying with using Tetramethylsilane(TMS), four kind of air-drying using Hexamethyldisilazane(HMDS) and critical point drying(CPD), we conducted scanning electron microscopic observation on liver, skeletal muscle and intestinal tissues from laboratory rat treated with each method. In pure air drying group, severe distortion of tissue surface was observed, and in HMDS treated group, only liver tissue showed slight distortion. But in TMS treated group, each tissue showed a good presentation comparable to CPD group. The results suggest that the method of air-drying using TMS may be the former is less expensive and simple be and also time-saving.

Recently, techniques involving head-mounted displays (HMDs) have attracted much attention from academia and industry owing to the increased demand for virtual reality and augmented reality applications. Because HMDs are positioned near to users' eyes, it is important to solve the accommodation-vergence conflict problem to prevent dizziness. Therefore, holography is considered ideal for implementing HMDs. However, within the Nyquist region, the accommodation effect is limited by the space-bandwidth-product of the signal, which is determined by the sampling number of spatial light modulators. In addition, information about the angular spectrum is duplicated over the Fourier domain, and it is necessary to filter out the redundancy. The size of the exit-pupil of the HMD is limited by the Nyquist sampling theory. We newly propose a holographic HMD with an expanded exit-pupil over the Nyquist region by using the time-multiplexing method, and the accommodation effect is enhanced. We realize time-multiplexing by synchronizing a high-speed digital micromirror device and a liquid-crystal shutter array. We also demonstrate the accommodation effect experimentally.

a-SiC has been thought as an ideal candidate for conventional silicon at many applications. However, the uniformity problem of deposition has been a obstacle for conventional use of a-SiC:H films. a-SiC:H films were deposited on (100) silicon wafer by RPECVD system in various temperature. HMDS and $H_2$ gas were used as a precursor and a carrier gas, respectively. The flow rate of HMDS source and $C_2H_2$ dilution gas was fixed in order to study the carbon effect on the film stoichiometric and bonding properties. The plasma power varied from 200 to 400W. We used three types of source delivery line to control the uniformity and film properties of deposited film. We showed that the change of source delivery line has effect on the film uniformity of deposited film and this change of line did not affect on film properties. Also, the change of deposition conditions has effect on the film uniformity.
