This paper reports physical properties of in situ boron doped silicon films made from boron source gas and silane ($SiH_4$) gas in a conventional low-pressure chemical vapor deposition vertical furnace. If the p-type polysilicon is formed by boron implantation into undoped polysilicon, the plasma nitridation (PN) process is added on the oxide in order to suppress boron penetration that can be caused during the thermal treatments used in fabrication. In-situ boron doped polysilicon deposition can complete p-type polysilicon film with only one deposition process and need not the PN process, because there is not interdiffusion of dopant at the intermediate temperatures of the subsequent steps. Since in-situ boron doped polysilicon films have higher work function than that of n-type polysilicon and they are compatible with the underlying oxide, they may be promising materials for improving memory cell characteristics if we make its profit of these physical properties.

The total ionizing dose (TID) and non ionizing energy loss (NIEL) effects of 100 MeV phosphorous ($P^{7+}$) and 80 MeV nitrogen ($N^{6+}$) ions on 200 GHz silicon-germanium heterojunction bipolar transistors (SiGe HBTs) were examined in the total dose range from 1 to 100 Mrad(Si). The in-situ I-V characteristics like Gummel characteristics, excess base current (${\Delta}I_B$), net oxide trapped charge ($N_{OX}$), current gain ($h_{FE}$), avalanche multiplication (M-1), neutral base recombination (NBR) and output characteristics ($I_C-V_{CE}$) were analysed before and after irradiation. The significant degradation in device parameters was observed after $100MeV\;P^{7+}$ and $80MeV\;N^{6+}$ ion irradiation. The $100MeV\;P^{7+}$ ions create more damage in the SiGe HBT structure and in turn degrade the electrical characteristics of SiGe HBTs more when compared to $80MeV\;N^{6+}$. The SiGe HBTs irradiated up to 100 Mrad of total dose were annealed from $50^{\circ}C$ to $400^{\circ}C$ in different steps for 30 min duration in order to study the recovery of electrical characteristics. The recovery factors (RFs) are employed to analyse the contribution of room temperature and isochronal annealing in total recovery.

Aluminum has been deposited selectively on TiN surfaces in the presence of Si, SiO2 from Dimethyethylamine Alane(DMEAA). The film properties of the deopsited AI film were determined by various methods(SEM, Auger, UV-photospectrometer, Four point-probe, XRD). The effect of in-situ H2 plasma precleaning was studied. The effect of gap distance, pressure and temperature on the properties(crystallinity, resistance, grain size, morphology) of AI film and on the growth rates was investigated. It was found that the plasma precleaning promotes the growth rate and there exists optimum thmperature for maximum growth rate.

Si2H6PH3 혼합기체를 사용하여 증착된 in-situ P-doped 비정질 실리콘과 SiH4 기체를사용하여 증착한후에 As+ 이온주입에 의해 도핑시킨 다결정 실리콘 박막을 하부 전극으로 하는 캐패시터를 형성 하였다. 여기서 유전박막층은 자연산화막 화학증착된 실리콘질화막 및 질화막의 산화에 의해 형성된 O-N-O 구조를 갖는 것이었다. 두 종류의 하부전극에 따른 캐패시터의 전기적 특서을 조사하였다. 전기 적 특성으로는 정전용량, 누설전류, 절연파괴전압 및 TDDB 등이었다. 이 가운데 정전용량, 누설전류 및 절연파괴전압은 하부전극에 따라 큰 차이를 보이지않았다. 그러나 음의 전장하에서의 TDDB 특성은 in-situ P-doped 비정실 실리콘이 하부전극인 캐패시터가 As+ 이온 주입실리콘이 하부전극인 것에 비해 더우수하였다. 이와 같은 TDDB 특성의 차이는 하부전극 실리콘의 integrity 차이로 인한 자연산화막의 결함 정도의 차이에 기인하는 것 같다. 이를 뒷받침하는 것으로 투과전자현미경 단면사진으로 확인하였 다. Shallow junction을 유지하는데도 in-situ P-doped 비정실 실리콘은 만족할 만한 결과를 보이며 박 막자체의 면저항값도 낮출 수 있어 초고집적 회로의 캐패시터 전극으로서 이용될 수 있는 것으로 평가 되었다.

To investigate the gettering effect of B-doped n-type monocrystalline silicon wafer, we made the p-n junction by diffusing boron into n-type monocrystalline Si substrate and then oxidized the boron doped n-type monocrystalline silicon wafer by in-situ wet and dry oxidation. After oxidation, the minority carrier lifetime was measured by using microwave photoconductance and the sheet resistance by 4-point probe, respectively. The junction depth was analyzed by Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS). Boron diffusion reduced the metal impurities in the bulk of silicon wafer and increased the minority carrier lifetime. In the case of wet oxidation, the sheet resistance value of ${\sim}46{\Omega}/{\Box}$ was obtained at $900^{\circ}C$, depostion time 50 min, and drive-in time 10 min. Uniformity was ~7% at $925^{\circ}C$, deposition time 30 min, and drive-in time 10 min. Finally, the minority carrier lifetime was shown to be increased from $3.3{\mu}s$ for bare wafer to $21.6{\mu}s$ for $900^{\circ}C$, deposition 40 min, and drive-in 10 min condition. In the case of dry oxidation, for the condition of 50 min deposition, 10 min drive-in, and O2 flow of 2000 SCCM, the minority carrier lifetime of 16.3us, the sheet resistance of ${\sim}48{\Omega}/{\Box}$, and uniformity of 2% were measured.

A series of silica surface-capped with hexamethyldisilazane (denoted as $H-SiO_2$) were prepared by liquid-phase in-situ surface-modification method. The as-obtained $H-SiO_2$ was incorporated into acrylic amino (AA) baking paint to obtain AA/$H-SiO_2$ composite extinction paints and/or coatings. $N_2$ adsorption-desorption tests were conducted to determine the specific surface area as well as pore size and pore volume of $H-SiO_2$. Moreover, the effects of $H-SiO_2$ matting agents on the physical properties of AA paint as well as the gloss and transmittance of AA-based composite extinction coatings were investigated. Results show that $H-SiO_2$ matting agents possess a large specific surface area and pore volume than previously reported silica obtained by liquid-phase method. Besides, they have better dispersibility in AA baking paint than the unmodified silica. Particularly, $H-SiO_2$ with a silica particle size of $6.7{\mu}m$ and the dosage of 4% (mass fraction) provides an extinction rate of 95.2% and a transmittance of 79.3% for the AA-based composite extinction coating, showing advantages over OK520, a conventional silica matting agent. Along with the increase in the silica particle size, $H-SiO_2$ matting agents cause a certain degree of increase in the viscosity of AA paint as well as a noticeable decrease in the gloss of the AA-based composite extinction coating, but they have insignificant effects on the hardness and adhesion to substrate of the AA-based composite coatings. This means that $H-SiO_2$ matting agents could be well applicable to preparing low-viscosity and low-gloss AA-based matte coatings.

As으로 in-situ 도핑된 폴리실리콘 막을 원하는 부위에만 선택적으로 증착시킬 수 있는 RTP-CVD 증착기술이 성공적으로 수행되었다. 막의 증착속도는 도핑량이 증차함에 따라 점차 감소하였으나 As의 양이 5ppm보다 커지자 급격히 감소하였다. 또한 증착속도는 As의 유량이 일정할 때, SiH2CI2 유량에 따라 직선적으로 변화하였다. As 도펀트의 농도는 막내부에 비해 폴리실리콘/실리콘기판의 계면과 표면에서 상대적으로 높게 나타났으며, 특히 증착온도가 낮을 때 As 도펀트의 농도는 더 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. 실리콘 표면에서 약 40-50nm 위치에서 도펀트의 농도천이가 급격히 일어났으며, 그 결과 RTP-CVD공정을 이용할 때 극히 얕고 일정한 깊이분포를 갖는 n+-p junctions were achieved and laterally uniform delineated junctions were also observed using RTP-CVD.

Gate 산화막을 high-k 물질인 $HfO_2$ 박막을 이용하여 N-type MOS field effect transistor를 제작하였다. 전극은 poly-Si 전극을 사용하였다. Gate 산화막은 ALD 로 $Hf(N(CH_3)_2)_4$ 원료를 이용하여 $HfO_2$ 박막을 형성하였다. 산화제는 $H_{2}O$ 와 $O_3$ 를 사용하였는데, $H_{2}O$ 가 약간 우수하였으나 그 차이는 크지 않았다. $HfO_2$ 를 증착하기 전에 in-situ 로 $O_3$ 를 흘려 줌으로써 $SiO_2$를 얇게 형성하였는데, 이 결과 threshold voltage 가 약 0.2V 높아지고 saturation current 가 커지는 것이 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과는 $HfO_2$ 박막을 직접 channel 위에 증착하는 것보다 $O_3$ 를 이용 얇은 $SiO_2$ 를 형성하고 그 위에 $HfO_2$ 박막을 증착하는 방법이 transistor의 특성을 향상시키는 데 도움이 된다.

Physical exercise, especially intense exercise and high intensity interval training (HIIT) by trampoline, can lead to muscle injuries. These effects can be reduced with intelligent products made of nanocomposite materials. Most of these nanocomposites are polymers reinforced with silicon dioxide, alumina, and titanium dioxide nanoparticles. This study presents a polymer nanocomposite reinforced with silica. As a result of the rapid reaction between tetraethyl orthosilicate and ammonia in the presence of citric acid and other agents, silica nanostructures were synthesized. By substituting bis (4-amino phenoxy) phenyl-triptycene in N, N-dimethylformamide with potassium carbonate, followed by catalytic reduction with hydrazine and Pd/C, the diamine monomer bis (4-amino phenoxy) phenyl-triptycene is prepared. We synthesized a new polyaromatic (imide) with triptycene unit by sol-gel method from aromatic diamines and dianhydride using pyridine as a condensation reagent in NMP. PI readily dissolves in solvents and forms robust and tough polymer films in situ. The FTIR and NMR techniques were used to determine the effects of SiO₂ on the sol-gel process and the structure of the synthesized nanocomposites. By using a simultaneous thermal analysis (DTA-TG) method, the appropriate thermal operation temperature was also determined. Through SEM analysis, the structure, shape, size, and specific surface area of pores were determined. Analysis of XRD results is used to determine how SiO₂ affects the crystallization of phases and the activation energy of crystallization.

CVD방법에 의한 TiN 박막 형성에 있어서 ICP-CVD 방법이 대두되고 있다. 이것은 precursor에 대한 radical 형성, 식각된 패턴에서 양 벽의 self-shadowing 효과, 낮은 tress등으로 dense 한 박막을 얻을 수 있기 때문이다. TiN 박막은 Si 기판의 온도를 상온에서 50$0^{\circ}C$까지 유지하면서 TEMAT의 유량을 5-20sccm으로 변화시키면서 증착하였다. 증착 후 TiN 박막의 결정화에 따른 열처리는 Ar과 N2-가스분위기에서 in-situ로 증착하였다. 증착 후 TiN 박막증착 조건수립에 따른 플라즈마 특성진단은 전자의 온도와 밀도, 평균 전자밀도, 이온 에너지 분포, radical 분포, negative 이온분포 등으로 측정하였다. 플라즈마 변수에 따른 TiN 박막의 결정성과 상 변화는 XRD로 분석하였고, 조성비 및 TiN 박막의 원소화학적 상태, 결합에너지, 각 상에 따른 결합 에너지 천이정도, 초기 형성과정 및 반응기구 등은 RBS와 XPS로 조사하였다. TiN 박막의 표면상태, morphology 거칠기, TiN/Si(100)구조에서 계면상태 등은 SEM, AFM, 그리고 HRTEM으로 분석하였다. TiN 구조 박막의 비저항, carrier concentration 그리고 mobility 측정은 박막의 표면이 균일하고 bls-홀이 없는 것으로 하여 4-point probe 방법으로 측정하였다. 이들 분석으로부터 ICP-CVD 방법에 의하여 형성된 TiN 박막이 초고집적 반도체 소자의 contact barrier layer로서의 적용 가능성을 평가하였다.
