To apply diamond films in microelectromechanical systems(MEMS), it is necessary to develop the patterning technologies of diamond films in the micrometer scale. In this paper, three different kinds of technologies for patterning CVD diamond films carried out by us were demonstrated: selective growth by improved diamond nucleation in DC bias-enhanced microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) system, selective growth of seeding using diamond-particle-mixed photoresist, and selective etching of oxygen ion beam using Al as the mask. It was show that high selectivity and precise patterns had been achieved, and all the processes were compatible with IC process.

탄화규소(SiC)가 도포된 핵연료 제조를 위해 고온 연소 합성법(Self-propagating High Temperature Synthesis, SHS)이 적용되었으며, 반응물로 규소(Si) 분말, 규소 박막 (Si-thin film), 흑연 분말과 카본(C) 화이버가 사용되었다. 규소 박막은 프라즈마가 강화된 화학증착법(a microwave pulsed electron cyclotron resonance plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition)으로 준비되었다. 그 결과 규소와 탄소의 고온 연소 합성반응 생성물은 반응물이 분말이거나 박막에 관계없이. 탄화규소(SiC)가 합성되었으며, 생성물의 형상(morphology)은 초기 탄소의 형상에 의존하였다. 본 연구를 통해 고온 연소 합성법이 탄화규소와 탄소가 도포된 핵연료 제조에 적용 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

The growth of diamond films in plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(PECVD) processes requires high substrate temperatures and gas pressures, as well as high-power excitation of the gas source. Thus determining the substrate temperature in this severe environment is a challenge. The issue is a critical one since substrate temperature is a key parameter for understanding and optimizing diamond film growth. The precise Si substrate temperature calibration based on rapid-scanning spectroscopic ellipsometry have been developed and utilized. Using the true temperature of the top 200 ${\AA}$ of the Si substrate under diamond growth conditions, real time spectroellipsometry (RTSE) has been performed during the nucleation and growth of nanocrystallind thin films prepared by PECVD. RTSE shows that a significant volume fraction of nondiamond(or{{{{ {sp }^{2 } -bonded}}}}) carbon forms during thin film coalescence and is trapped near the substrate interface between ∼300 ${\AA}$ diamond nuclei.

The methastable state diamond films have been deposited on Si substrates using MWPCVD. Effects of each experimental parameters of MWPCVD including $CH_4$ conentrations, Oxygen additions, Operating pressure, etc. on the growth rate and crystallinity were invesitigated. The best crystallinity of the film at 3% methane concentration addition of oxygen to the $CH_4-H_2O$ mixture gave an improved film crystallinity at 50% oxygen concentration. Upon increasing the operating pressure, the growth rate and crystallinity were increased simultaneously.

수소화된 비정질 탄소(a-C:H0는 그 형성 조건에 따라서 여러 가지 다른 구조와 특성을 갖게 되며, 특히 DLC(diamond-like carbon)-FED(field emission display) 개발 면에서 중요하게 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 a-C:H 박막을 PECVD(plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition) 방법으로 증착하고 주고 ESR 및 Raman 측정을 통하여 그 결과를 조사해 보았다. PECVD 증착가스는 CH4 가스를 사용하였다. 기판은 Corning 1737 glass를 사용하였고, 기판 온도는 32$0^{\circ}C$이었다. 증착 압력과 R>F. power는 각각 0.1-1 Torr 와 12-36 W 사이에서 변화되었다. ESR를 피하기 위하여, microwave power에 대한 ESR 신호 의존성을 측정하고 포화효과를 피하기 위한 Raman spectroscopy로 분석하였다. R.F.power가 증가할수록 증착속도는 0.06 nm/sec 정도까지 대체로 증가하였으나, pressure가 1 Torr 일때는 같은 R.F. power로써 증착이 일어나지 않는 경우도 발생하였다. 증착된 a-C:H 박막은 R.F.power가 증가할수록 스핀밀도의 증가가 두드러졌으며, 기타 증착가스 압력 등의 증착 조건에 따른 ESR 및 Raman 스펙트럼의 변화를 관찰하였다.

알루미늄 방열판 위에 MPCVD(Microwave Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) 장치를 이용하여 DC 바이어스 전압을 기판에 인가하면서 $Ar+CH_4$ 가스 분위기에서 증착한 나노결정질 다이아몬드(Nanocrystalline Diamond; NCD) 박막의 방열 특성을 평가하였다. XRD와 Raman spectroscopy를 이용하여 증착된 박막이 NCD인지를 확인하였으며 FE-SEM 및 FIB로 박막의 표면 및 단면의 형상을 관찰하였다. 다이아몬드가 증착된 방열판에 LED를 부착하여 발열시키고 열유동측정기의 하나인 T3-ster를 사용하여 방열 특성을 분석하였다. 기존 알루미늄(Al) 기판(5.55 K/W)보다 다이아몬드 증착(Dia-Al) 기판(3.88 K/W)의 열저항 값이 현저히 작았다, 또한 LED 접합온도는 Dia-Al 기판이 Al 기판보다 약 $3.5^{\circ}C$만큼 낮았다. 적외선 열화상 카메라로 발열 중인 시편의 전면과 후면을 촬영한 결과, LED가 부착된 전면부에서는 최고 발열 부위(hot spot)의 면적이 Al 기판의 경우가 Dia-Al 기판보다 높았고, 후면부에서는 그 반대의 경향을 보였다. 이들 데이터로부터 다이아몬드 증착 방열판이 기존의 방열판보다 방열특성이 우수한 것으로 해석할 수 있으며, 다이아몬드 박막을 방열판으로 사용하면 LED의 사용 수명과 효율이 높아질 것으로 기대된다.

The fabrication process of silicon-diamond(SOD) structure wafer were studied. Microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MWPCVD) and annealing technology were used to synthesize diamond film with high resistivity and thermal conductivity. Bonding and etchback silicon-on-diamond (BESOD) were utilized to form supporting substrate and single silicon thin layer of SOD wafer. At last, a SOD structure wafer with 0.3~1$\mu\textrm{m}$ silicon film and 2$\mu\textrm{m}$ diamond film was prepared. The characteristics of radiation for a CMOS integrated circuit (IC) fabricated by SOD wafer were studied.

We have fabricated a patterned diamond field emitter on a silicon substrate. Fine diamond particles were planted on a silicon wafer using conventional scratch method. A silicon oxide film was deposited on the substrate seeded with diamond powder. An array of holes was patterned on the silicon oxide film using VLSI processing technology. Diamond grains were grown using a microwave plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition. Because diamond could not grow on the silicon oxide barrier, diamond grains filled only the patterned holes in the silicon oxide film, resulting in an array of diamond tips.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have recently attracted great attention because of their excellent physical properties, such as high mechanical strength, thermal stability, and electronic properties. These useful properties of carbon nanotubes make themselves good candidates for various application field, such as a transistor, battery, field emission display, nanoscale inter-connects, and so on. Gas-phase techniques offer the unique ability to synthesize well-oriented arrays of CNTs. However, it is seldom reported that the pressure influences on the growth of CNTs under low substrate temperature. In this work, the effect of the working pressure and the influence of the catalyst preparation on the properties of CNTs grown by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) were investigated.
