In this work, we proposed Proper etching algorithm for ultra-large scale integrated circuit device and simulated etching process using the proposed algorithm in the case of ICP (inductive coupled plasma) 〔1〕source. Until now, many algorithms for etching process simulation have been proposed such as Cell remove algorithm, String algorithm and Ray algorithm. These algorithms have several drawbacks due to analytic function; these algorithms are not appropriate for sub 0.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ device technologies which should deal with each ion. These algorithms could not present exactly straggle and interaction between Projectile ions and could not consider reflection effects due to interactions among next projectile ions, reflected ions and sputtering ions, simultaneously In order to apply ULSI process simulation, algorithm considering above mentioned interactions at the same time is needed. Proposed algorithm calculates interactions both in plasma source region and in target material region, and uses BCA (binary collision approximation4〕method when ion impact on target material surface. Proposed algorithm considers the interaction between source ions in sheath region (from Quartz region to substrate region). After the collision between target and ion, reflected ion collides next projectile ion or sputtered atoms. In ICP etching, because the main mechanism is sputtering, both SiO$_2$ and Si can be etched. Therefore, to obtain etching profiles, mask thickness and mask composition must be considered. Since we consider both SiO$_2$ etching and Si etching, it is possible to predict the thickness of SiO$_2$ for etching of ULSI.

$BCl_3$고밀도 평판형 유도결합 플라즈마(High Density Planar Inductively Coupled Plasma)를 이용하여 AlGaAs와 InGaP의 건식식각에 대하여 연구하였다. 본 실험에서는 ICP 소스파워(0∼500 W), RIE 척 파워(0-150 W), 공정압력(5∼15 mTorr)의 변화에 따른 AlGaAs와 InGaP의 식각률, 식각단면 그리고 표면 거칠기 등을 분석 하였다. 또, 공정 중 OES(Optical Emission Spectroscopy)를 이용하여 in-situ로 플라즈마를 관찰하였다. $BCl_3$ 유도결합 플라즈마를 이용한 AlGaAs의 식각결과는 우수한 수직측벽도와(>87$^{\circ}$) 깨끗하고 평탄한 표면(RMS roughness = 0.57 nm)을 얻을 수 있었다. 반면, InGaP의 경우에는 식각 후 표면이 다소 거칠어진 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 모든 공정조건에서 AlGaAs의 식각률이 InGaP보다 더 높았다. 이는 $BCl_3$ 유도결합 플라즈마를 이용하여 InGaP을 식각하는 동안 $InCl_{x}$ 라는 휘발성이 낮은 식각부산물이 형성되어 나타난 결과이다. ICP 소스파워와 RIE 척파워가 증가하면 AlGaAs와 InGaP모두 식각률이 증가하였지만, 공정압력의 증가는 식각률의 감소를 가져왔다. 그리고 OES peak세기는 공정압력과 ICP 소스파워의 변화에 따라서는 크게 변화하였지만 RIE 척파워에 따라서는 거의 영향을 받지 않았다.

폴리머 기판위에서 ICP-RIE 방법을 이용하여 $O_2$ 플라즈마 전처리효과에 따른 GZO박막의 전기적, 광학적인 특성을 고찰 하였다. ICP-RIE 방법을 이용하여 폴리머 기판 위에 $O_2$ 플라즈마 전처리의 공정 값은 공정압력은 20 mTorr, 파워는 100 W로 하고 변수로는 시간을 60초 ~ 600초로 하였다. $O_2$ 플라즈마 전처리한 기판위에 RF Sputtering 방법을 이용하여 4인치의 GZO(ZnO: 95 wt%, $Ga_2O_3$: 5 wt%) 타겟을 사용하여 공정압력은 5 mTorr, 파워는 150 W, 박막의 두께는 500 nm의 조건으로 박막을 증착하였다. PET 기판의 600초의 $O_2$ 플라즈마 처리 후 증착한 GZO 박막의 비저항이 $6.2\times10^{-3}\;{\Omega}$-cm이었고, PEN 기판의 120초의 $O_2$ 플라즈마 처리 후 증착한 GZO 박막의 비저항이 $1.1\;{\times}\;10^{-3}\;{\Omega}$-cm이었다. 또한 300 nm 이하의 자외선 영역에서는 뛰어난 광 차단 효과를 가지고 있었으며, 가시광선 영역 (400 nm ~ 700 nm)에서 증착 된 시편들이 80 % 광 투과율을 나타내었다.

Isotope amount ratios of lead in a bronze sample have been successfully determined using multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS). Matrix separation conditions were tested and optimized using ion exchange chromatography with anion-exchange resin, AG1-X8, and sequential elution of the 0.5 M HBr and 7 M $HNO_3$ to separate lead from very high contents of copper and tin in bronze matrix. Mercury was also removed efficiently in the optimized separation condition. The instrumental isotope fractionation of lead in the MC-ICP-MS measurement was corrected by the external standard sample bracketing method using an external standard, NIST SRM 981 lead common isotope ratio standard followed by correction of procedure blank to obtain reliable isotope ratios of lead. The isotope ratios, $^{206}Pb/^{204}Pb$, $^{207}Pb/^{204}Pb$, $^{208}Pb/^{204}Pb$, and $^{208}Pb/^{206}Pb$, of lead were determined as $18.0802{\pm}0.0114$, $15.5799{\pm}0.0099$, $38.0853{\pm}0.0241$, and $2.1065{\pm}0.0004$, respectively, and the determined isotope ratios showed good agreement with the reference values of an international comparison for the same sample within the stated uncertainties

MEMS(Micro Electro Mechanical System) 기술에서 실리콘 식각기술의 중요성으로 플라즈마 식각기술의 개발이 꾸준히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 ICP(Inductive Coupled Plasma)를 이용하여 플라즈마를 발생시켜, 이온에너지를 증가시키지 않고도 이온밀도를 높이고 이온입자들에 의한 식각의 방향성을 가할 수 있는 새로운 플라즈마 기술을 이용하였다. 이같이 플라즈마를 이용하여 실리콘웨이퍼를 식각하여 제조하는 MEMS 응용분야는 다양하나, 본 연구에서는 미생물배양에 응용할 수 있는 PCR(Polymerase Chain Reaction)장치 제작을 위한 식각에 이용하였다. Platen power, Coil power 및 Process pressure에 다양한 변화를 주어 각 변수에 따른 식각속도를 관찰하였다. 각 공정별 변수를 변화시킨 결과 Platen 12W, Coil power 500W, 식각/Passivation Cycle 6/7sec 일 경우 식각속도는 $1.2{\mu}m/min$ 이었고, sidewall profile은 $90{\pm}0.7^{\circ}$로 나타나 매우 우수한 결과를 보였다. 분 연구에 SF6를 식각에 이용하였으며 공정의 최적화를 통하여 사용량을 최소화하여환경영향이 최소가 될 수 있는 가능성이 있었다.

Hydrogen was produced by water plasma excited in very high frequency inductively coupled tube reactor. Mass spectrometry was used to monitor gas phase species at various process conditions. Water dissociation rate depend on the process parameters such as ICP power, flow-rate and pressure. Water dissociation percent in ICP reactor decrease with increase of chamber pressure and $H_2O$ flow rate, while increase with increase of ICP power. In our experimental range, maximum water dissociation rate was 65.5% at the process conditions of 265 mTorr, 68 sccm, and 400 Watt. The effect of $CH_4$ addition to a water plasma on the hydrogen production has been studied in a VHF ICP reactor. With the addition of $CH_4$ gas, $H_2$ production increases to 12% until the $CH_4$ flow rate increases up to 15 sccm. But, with the flow rate of $CH_4$ more than 20 sccm, chamber wall was deposited with carbon film because of deficiency of oxygen in gas phase, hydrogen production rate decreased. The main roles of $CH_4$ gas are to reacts with O forming CO, CHO and $CO_2$ and releasing additional $H_2$ and furthermore to prevent reverse reaction for forming $H_2O$ from $H_2$ and $O_2$. But, $CH_4$ addition has negative effects such as cost increase and $CO_x$ emission, therefore process optimization is required.

The inductively coupled plasma(ICP) etching process was selected to fabricate RF Surface Acoustic Wave(SAW) filters and a Pt thin film was sputtered on a $LiTaO_3$ substrate applied to electrode materials to reduce the spurious response and improve the power durability. Steep sidewall pattern was achieved employing $C_4F_8/Ar/Cl_2$ gas chemistry. We investigated an etching mechanism and parameter dependence of the Pt thin film about $C_4F_8$ addition. Sidewall etch angle was about $80^{\circ}$ at the $C_4F_8$ 20% mixing ratio. Fabricated SAW filter is consists of some series and parallel arm SAW resonators which work as impedance elements and show capacitance characteristics at out of the passband. It can be modified for $800{\sim}900\;MHz$ RF filters. External matching circuits were unnecessary.

Hydrophilic and hydrophobic polyethersulfone (PES)-zinc oxide (ZnO) sublayers were prepared by loading of ZnO nanoparticles into PES matrix. Both porosity and hydrophilicity of the hydrophilic sublayer were increased upon addition of hydrophilic ZnO, while these were decreased for the hydrophobic sublayer. In addition, the results demonstrated that the hydrophilic membrane exhibited smaller structural parameter (S value or S parameter or S), which is beneficial for improving pure water permeability and decreasing mass transfer resistance. In contrast, a higher S parameter was obtained for the hydrophobic membrane. With a 2 M NaCl as DS and DI water as FS, the pure water flux of hydrophilic TFN0.5 membrane was increased from $21.02L/m^2h$ to $30.06L/m^2h$ and decreased for hydrophobic TFN0.5 membrane to $14.98L/m^2h$, while the salt flux of hydrophilic membrane increased from $10.12g/m^2h$ to $17.31g/m^2h$ and decreased for hydrophobic TFN0.5 membrane to $3.12g/m^2h$. The increment in pure water permeability can be ascribed to reduction in S parameter, which resulted in reduced internal concentration polarization (ICP). The current study provides a feasible and low cost procedure to decrease the ICP in FO processes.
