우주물질의 대부분이 플라즈마 상태에 있지마는 지구상에서는 천둥이 칠 때 생기는 방전이나 극지방에서 볼 수 있는 오로라와 같이 극히 일부분이 자연상태의 프라즈마로 존재한다. 지금까지 플라즈마의 이용은 그것이 내는 밝은 빛을 이용한 조명이나, 높은 열을 이용한 용접이나 절단이 고작이었으나, 최근에 들어 초고온, 고밀도 플라즈마를 이용한 핵융합 에너지 연구나 Free Electron Laser나 Gyrotron과 같이 새로운 Radiation Source로써 종래의 Source가 만들지 못하던 주파수 영역이나 Glow Discharge에서 생기는 저온 Plasma를 이용한 Plasma Etching PECVD(Plasma Enhanced CHemical Vapor Deposition), Plasma Ashing, Sputtering등은 VLSI의 제조에 필요불가결한 공정의 일부분이 되고 있다. 앞으로 수회에 걸쳐 본 기술해설란을 통하여 이들 Plasma의 이용 기술을 소개하고자 하며 본회에서는 그중에서 Plasma Etching에 대해서 그 원리와 기술상의 특징을 살펴보고자 한다.

라만(Raman) 분광법은 실리콘의 결정화도를 분석하는데 가장 유용하게 쓰이는 기법이다. 본 논문에서는 상압 플라즈마 화학기상증착법 (atmospheric pressure plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, AP-PECVD)에 의해 형성된 실리콘 박막의 결정화도를 라만 분광법에 의해 분석하였다. 라만 분석 시, 조사하는 레이져의 파장에 따라서 실리콘 박막 내로의 침투깊이가 결정된다. 또한 레이져의 파워가 임계점을 넘게 되면, 레이져에 의한 실리콘의 결정화가 진행되는 것을 확인하였다.

Even though the fabrication methods of metal oxide based thin film capacitor have been well established such as RF sputtering, Sol-gel, metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) and pulsed laser deposition (PLD), an applicable capacitor of printed circuit board (PCB) has not realized yet by these methods. Barium Strontium Titanate (BST) and other high-k ceramic oxides are important materials used in integrated passive devices, multi-chip modules (MCM), high-density interconnect, and chip-scale packaging. Thin film multi-layer technology is strongly demanded for having high capacitance (120 nF/$mm^2$). In this study, we suggest novel multi-layer thin film capacitor design and fabrication technology utilized by plasma assisted deposition and photolithography processes. Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 (BST) was used for the dielectric material since it has high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss. 5-layered BST and Pt thin films with multi-layer sandwich structures were formed on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate by RF-magnetron sputtering and DC-sputtering. Pt electrodes and BST layers were patterned to reveal internal electrodes by photolithography. SiO2 passivation layer was deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD). The passivation layer plays an important role to prevent short connection between the electrodes. It was patterned to create holes for the connection between internal electrodes and external electrodes by reactive-ion etching (RIE). External contact pads were formed by Pt electrodes. The microstructure and dielectric characteristics of the capacitors were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and impedance analyzer, respectively. In conclusion, the 0402 sized thin film multi-layer capacitors have been demonstrated, which have capacitance of 10 nF. They are expected to be used for decoupling purpose and have been fabricated with high yield.

In this paper, novel device structure in order to realize ultra fast and ultra small silicon devices are investigated using ultra-high vacuum chemical vapor deposition(UHVCVD) and Excimer Laser Annealing (ELA) for ultra pn junction formation. Based on these fundamental technologies for the deep sub-micron device, high speed and low power devices can be fabricated. These junction formation technologies based on damage-free process for replacing of low energy ion implantation involve solid phase diffusion and vapor phase diffusion. As a result, ultra shallow junction depths by ELA are analyzed to 10~20 nm for arsenic dosage (2$\times$10$^{14}$ $\textrm{cm}^2$), excimer laser source(λ=248nm) is KrF, and sheet resistances are measured to 1k$\Omega$/$\square$ at junction depth of 15nm.

The Modified Multi-Quantum Well(MMQWAl) structures have been grown by Mental-Organic chemical Vapor Deposition(MOCVD) method and stripe type MMQW laser diodes have been investigated. In the case of GaAs/AlGaAs superlattice and quantum well growth by MOCVD, the periodicity, interface abruptess, Al compositional uniformity and layer thickness have been confirmed though the shallow angle lapping technique, double crystal x-ray diffractometry (DCXD) and photoluminescence (PL) measurement. stripe-type MMQW laser diodes have been fabricated using the process technology of photolithography, chemical etching, ohmic contact, back side removing and cleaving. As the result of the electrical and opticalmeasurement of these laser diodes, we have achieved the series resistance of $1[\Omega}~2{\Omega}$ by current-voltage measurements, the threshold current of 200-300mA by currnt-light measurements and the lasing wavelength of 8000-8400$\AA$ by lasing spectrum measurements.

We fabricated distributed feedback InGaAsP/InP laser diodes for optical fiber communication module and characterized the lasing properties in continuous wave operation. The active layer of 7-period InGaAsP(1.127 eV)/InGaAsP(0.954 eV) multi-quantum well structure was grown by the metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The grating for waveguide was also fabricated by the implementation of the Mach-Zehender holographic method of two laser beams interference of He- Cd laser and the fabricated laser diode has the dimension of the laser length of $400{\mu}m$ and the ridge width of $1.2{\mu}m$. The laser diode shows the threshold current of 3.59 mA, the threshold voltage of 1.059 V. For the room-temperature operation with the current of 13.54 mA and the voltage of 1.12 V, the peak wavelength is about 1309.70 nm and optical power is 13.254 mW.

A structure in which GaAs and AlGaAs epilayers are formed with a metal organic chemical vapor deposition equipment on a GaAs wafer similar to the structure of making a vertical cavity surface emitting laser is used. Photonic Quantum Ring (PQR) devices that are naturally generated by 3D resonance are manufactured by chemically assisted ion beam etching technology, which is a dry etching method. A new technology that can be fabricated has been studied, and as a result, the possibility of wet etching of a solution containing phosphoric acid, hydrogen peroxide and methanol was investigated, and the device fabrication by applying this method are also discussed. In addition, the spectrum of the fabricated optical device was measured, and the results were theoretically analyzed and compared with the wavelength value obtained by the measurement. It is expected that the PQR device will be able to model cells in a three-dimensional shape or be applied to the display field.

We studied indium-doped zinc oxide (IZO) film grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) as transparent conductive oxide (TCO). A variety of TCO layer, such as ZnO:Al (AZO), InSnO2(ITO), Zn (O,S) etc, has been grown by various method, such as ALD, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), sputtering, laser ablation, sol-gel technique, etc. Among many deposition methods, ALD has various advantages such as uniformity of film thickness, film composition, conformality, and low temperature deposition, as compared with other techniques. In this study, we deposited indium-doped zinc oxide thin films using diethyl[bis(trimethylsilyl)amido]indium [Et2InN(TMS)2] as indium precursor, DEZn as zinc precursor and H2O as oxidant for ALD and investigated the optical and electrical properties of IZO films. As an alternative, this liquid In precursor would has several advantages in indium oxide thin-film processes by ALD, especially for low resistance indium oxide thin film and high deposition rate as compared to InCp, InCl3, TMIn precursors etc. We found out that Indium oxide films grown by Et2InN(TMS)2 and H2O precursor show ALD growth mode and ALD growth window. We also found out the different growth rate of Indium oxide as the substrate and investigated the effect of the substrate on Indium oxide growth.

Aluminium oxide (Al2O3) films have been investigated for many applications such as insulating materials, hard coatings, and diffusion barriers due to their attractive electrical and mechanical properties. In recent years, application of Al2O3 films for dielectric materials in integrated circuits as gates and capacitors has attracted much attention. Various deposition techniques such as sol-gel, metalorganic decomposition (MOD), sputtering, evaporation, metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), and pulsed laser ablation have been used to fabricate Al2O3 thin films. Among these techniques, reactive sputtering has been widely used due to its high deposition rate and easy control of film composition. It has been also reported that the sputtered Al2O3 films exhibit superior chemical stability and mechanical strength compared to the films fabricated by other processes. In this study, Al2O3 thin films were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO/Si2 and Si substrates by DC reactive sputtering at room temperature with variation of the Ar/O2 ratio in sputtering ambient. Crystalline phase of the reactively sputtered films was characterized using X-ray diffractometry and the surface morphology of the films was observed with Scanning election microscopy. Effects of Th Ar/O2 ratio characteristics of Al2O3 films were investigated with emphasis on the thickness dependence of the dielectric properties. Correlation between the dielectric properties and the microstructure was also studied
