  • An analytical method has been developed to determine trace elements in biological samples. The biological samples are added to a laboratory-bulit Teflon bomb together with nitric acid-hydrogen peroxide mixture and enriched stable isotopes. The samples are decomposed in a microwave oven. The decomposed sample solutions are analyzed by isotope dilution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The analytical results of the biological samples agree well with the reference values.

  • A surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter structure was fabricated employing $4{\mu}m$ thick nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) and $2.2{\mu}m$ thick ZnO films on Si wafer. The NCD film was deposited in an $Ar/CH_4$ gas mixture by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition method. The ZnO film was formed over the NCD film in an RF magnetron sputter using ZnO target and $Ar/O_2$ gas. On the top of the two layers, copper film was deposited by the RF sputter and inter digital transducer (IDT) electrode pattern (line/space : $1.5/1.5{\mu}m$) was defined by the photolithography including a lift-off etching process. The fabricated SAW filter exhibited the center frequency of 1.66 GHz and the phase velocity of 9,960 m/s, which demonstrated that a giga Hertz SAW filter can be realized by utilizing the nanocrystalline diamond thin film.

  • Ni-C composite films were prepared using a combination of microwave plasma CVD and ion beam sputtering deposition working in a codeposition way. The structure of these films was characterized by energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDXRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Raman spectroscopy. It was found that a nickel carbide phase, $Ni_3C$ (hcp), formed as very fine crystallites over a wide temperature range when Ni-C films were deposited at low $CH_4$ flow rates. The thermal stability of this nonequilibrium carbide $Ni_3C$ was also studied. As a result, the $Ni_3C$ carbide was found to decompose into nickel and graphite at around $400^{\circ}C$. With high $CH_4$ flow rates (> 0.2 sccm), the structure of the Ni-C films became amorphous. The formation behavior of the carbide and amorphous Ni-C phases are discussed in relation to the electrical resistivity of the films.

  • An analytical method has been developed to determine multi-elements in human hair samples by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). 0.05 g of hair sample was added to the Teflon digestion bomb together with 1.5 mL of nitric acid and an appropriate amount of In as an internal standard. The sample was then decomposed in the microwave digestion system. The hair certified reference material, GBW 09101, was analyzed for the validation of the analytical method. The determined values were in good agreement with the certified values within the uncertainty range.

  • Abstract-The ECR(E1ectron Cyclotron Resonance) plasma etcher was developed for process of manufacturing 16M164' DRAM and applied to poly-Si etching process. The etching rate and selectivity of poly-Si were investigated by changing the process factor of pressure gas and microwave power. The increasing power of microwave will have the trend of increasing the etching rate and selectivity of Oxide, and have suitable value process pressure at 6 mTorr. The increasing value of process gas SFdSF6+ Clz will cause the decrease of etching rate and selectivity, this is because the best process factor is not found.

  • Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes were synthesized on Ni-coated Si substrates using microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The grain size of Ni thin films was varied with the RF power density during the RF magnetron sputtering process. It was found that the diameter, growth rate, and density of carbon nanotubes could be controlled systematically by the grain size of Ni thin films. With decreasing the grain size of Ni thin films, the diameter of the nanotubes decreased, whereas the growth rate and density increased. High-resolution transmission electron microscope images clearly demonstrated synthesized nanotubes to be multiwalled. The number of graphitized wall decreased with decreasing the diameter. Field emission properties will be further presented.

  • The deposition characteristics of diamond films were investigated for three different substrates : Si, Inconel 600 and steel. Diamond films were prepared by microwave plasma CVD method using $CH_4$, $H_2$ and $O_2$ as reaction gases. The deposited films were analyzed with SEM, Raman spectroscopy and ellipsometer. For Si substrate, diamond films were successfully obtained for most of the deposition conditions used in this study. As the $CH_4$ flow rate decreased and the $O_2$ flow rate increased, the quality of the film was improved due to the reduced non-diamond phase in the film. For Inconel 600 substrate, the surface pretreatment with diamond powders was required to deposit a continuous diamond film. The films deposited at temperatures of $600^{\circ}C$ and $700^{\circ}C$ had mainly diamond phase, but they were peeled off locally due to the difference in the thermal expansion coefficient between the substrate and the deposited films. The films deposited at $500^{\circ}C$ and $850^{\circ}C$ had only the graphitic carbon phase. For steel substrate, all of the films deposited had only the graphitie carbon phase. We speculated that the formation of diamond nuclei on the steel substrate was inhibited due to the diffusion of carbon atoms into the steel substrate which has a large amount of carbon solubility.

  • Diamond Like Carbon film is amorphous film which is considered to consist of three coordinate graphite structure and tetrahedron coordinate diamond structure. Its hardness, thermal conductivity and chemical stability are nearly to one of diamond. It is well known to become semi-conductor by doping of inpurity. In this study Diamond Like Carbon film was synthesized by Microwave Plasma CVD in the gas mixture of hydrogen-methan-nitrogen and doped of nitrogen on the single-crystal silicon or silica glass. The temperature of substrate and nitrogen concentration in the gas mixture had an effect on the bonding state, structural properties and conduction mechanism. The surface morphology was observed by Scanning Electron Microscope. The strucure was analyzed by laser Raman spectrometry. The bonding state was evaluated by electron spectroscopy. Diamond Like Carbon film synthesized was amorphous carbon containing the $sp^2$ and $sp^3$ carbon cluster. The number of $sp^2$ bonding increased as nitrogen concentration increased from 0 to 40 vol% in the feed gas at 1233K substrate temperature and at $7.4\times10^3$ Pa. Increase of nitrogen concentration made Diamond Like Carbon to be amorphous and the doze of nitragen could be controlled by nitrogen concentration of feed gas.
