Polymer deposition pattern on the ceramic lid surface is analyzed by numerical modeling. Assumption was made that is affected by gas flow pattern from the horizontal and vertical nozzles, temperature profile from the finger-like branches made of graphite and electrostatic potential effect. Calculated results showed gas flow dynamics is less relevant than two others. Temperature and electrostatic effects are likely determining the polymer deposition pattern based on our numerical simulation results.

AlGaInP high-brightness LEDs(HB-LEDs) have gained importance a variety of application operating in the red, orange, yellow and yellow-green wavelength. The light generated from inside LED chips should be emitted to the air through the surfaces of the chips. However, because of the differences between the semiconductor and air or epoxy's refractive index, some of the light was blocked so that caused lowering external quantum efficiency. In this study, nano-scale roughness on the top-GaP layer of AlGaInP epitaxial wafer was fabricated to improve' the brightness of AlGaInP LEDs. Nano-scale roughness was made by ICP dry etcher. Our AlGaInP LEDs with nano-scale roughness has higher brightness (about 28.5 %) than standard AlGaInP LEDs.

In this paper, the etching behavior of ZnO in $CF_4$ plasma mixed Ar was investigated. Previously, the etch rate in $CF_4$/Ar plasma was reported that it is slower than that in Cl containing plasma. But, plasma included Cl atom can produce the by-product such as $ZnCl_2$. In order to solve this film contamination, no Cl containing etching gas is required. We controlled the etching parameter such as source power, substrate bias power, and $CF_4$/Ar gas ratio to acquire the fast etch rate using a ICP etcher. We accomplished the etching rate of 144.85 nm/min with the substrate bias power of 200W. As the energetic fluorine atoms were bonded with Zinc atoms, the fluoride zinc crystal ($ZnF_2$) was observed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

평판형 유도결합 플라즈마 식각장비(inductively coupled plasma etcher)를 이용하여 각종 공정조건들에 따른 GaAs의 식각특성을 연구하였다. 공정변수들은 ICP 소스파워(0-500 W), RIE 척파워(0-150 W), 가스 종류($BCl_3$, $BCl_3$/Ar, $BCl_3$/Ne) 및 가스혼합비였다. $BCl_3$ 가스만을 이용하여 GaAs를 식각한 경우보다 25%의 Ar이나 Ne같은 불활성 기체를 혼합한 $15BCl_3$/5Ar, $15BCl_3$/5Ne 가스를 이용한 경우의 식각률이 더 우수한 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 50% 이하의 Ar이 혼합된 $BCl_3$/Ar의 경우는 높은 식각률 (＞4,000 $\AA$/min)과 평탄한 표면(RMS roughness : ＜2 nm)을 얻을 수 있었지만 지나친 양(＞50%)의 Ar의 혼합은 오히려 표면을 거칠게 하거나 식각률을 떨어뜨리는 결과를 가져왔다. 그리고 20 sccm $BCl_3$, 100 W RIE 척파워, 300 W ICP 소스파워, 공정압력이 7.5 mTorr인 조건에서의 GaAs의 식각결과는 아주 우수한 특성(식각률: ∼ 4,000, $\AA$/min, 우수한 수직측벽도: ＞$87^{\circ}$, 평탄한 표면: RMS roughness : ∼0.6 nm)을 나타내었다.

A numerical process to simulate SiO2 dry etching with inductively coupled C2F6 plasmas has been constructed using a commercial CFD code as a first step to design a run-to-run control system. The simulator was tuned to reasonably predict the reactive ion etching behavior and used to investigate the effects of plasma operating variables on the etch rate and uniformity. The relationship between the operating variables and the etching characteristics was mathematically modeled through linear regression for future run-to-run control system design.

본 실험은 고밀도 플라즈마원인 inductively coupled plasma(ICP)를 이용하여 실리카 도파로의 코아를 형성하고자 하였다. $CF_4/CHF_3$유량비, bias power 및 source power 등의 변화에 따른 산화막의 식각 특성 즉 식각 속도, 식각 단면 및 식각된 표면의 거칠기 등의 변화를 검토하였다. 또한 single Langmuir probe 및 optical emission spectroscopy(OES)를 이용하여, 식각 변수에 따른 ICP의 플라즈마 특성을 관찰하였다. 이상의 결과를 토대로, $SiO_2-P_2O_5$로 구성된 실리카 도파로의 코아(core)층을 형성하였고, 이때 최적화된 식각 조건 에서 식각 속도는 380nm/min이고, 마스크 층으로 사용된 Al(Si 1%)와 산화막과의 식각 선 택비는 30:1이상이였다. 형성된 실리카 도파로를 scanning electron microscopy(SEM)으로 관찰한 결과, 코아층의 식각 단면이 수직하고 패턴 선폭의 손실이 거의 없음을 확인하였다.
