본 논문에서는 투명디스플레이를 구현하기 위해 가장 주목받는 ZnO 계열의 산화물반도체의 특성에 대하여 관찰하였다. 알에프 마그네트론 스퍼터링에 의해 증착된 산화물 반도체의 광학적 특성으로부터 전기적인 신호 동작특성의 상호관계를 알아보았다. 박막내의 결합 혹은 불순물이 증가할수록 PL 특성은 장파장 특성이 우세하게 나타났다. SiOC 박막위에서는 에너지 밴드갭이 증가하면서 단파장 특성이 우세하게 나타났다. 트랜지스터의 특성은 기판의 의존도가 높게 나타났다.

This paper investigates the characteristics of a newly developed high density hollow cathode plasma(HCP) system and its application for the etching of silicon wafers. We used $SF_6$ and $O_2$ gases in the HCP dry etch process. This paper demonstrates very high plasma density of $2{\times}10^{12}cm^{-3}$ at a discharge current of 20 rna, Silicon etch rate of 1.3 ${\mu}m$/min was achieved with $SF_6/O_2$ plasma conditions of total gas pressure of 50 mTorr, gas flow rate of 40 seem, and RF power of200W. This paper presents surface etching characteristics on a crystalline silicon wafer and large area cast type multicrystlline silicon wafer. We obtained field emitter tips size of less than 0.1 ${\mu}m$ without any photomask step as well as with a conventional photolithography. Our experimental results can be applied to various display systems such as thin film growth and etching for TFT-LCDs, emitter tip formations for FEDs, and bright plasma discharge for PDP applications. In this research, we studied silicon etching properties by using the hollow cathode plasma system.

Transparent thin film transistor(TTFT)는 기존의 디스플레이가 가지고 있는 공간적, 시각적 제약을 해소하는 것이 가능하며, 이는 디스플레이 산업 및 기술이 지향하는 대면적, 저가격, 공정의 단순함을 해결해 줄 수 있기 때문에 최근 TTFT에 관한 연구가 급증하고 있다. 산화물 기반의 TFT는 유리, 금속, 플라스틱 등등 그 기판 종류에 상관없이 균일한 제작이 가능하며, 상온 및 저온에서 대면적으로 제작 가능하고, 저렴한 비용으로 제작 가능하다는 장점 때문에 최근 산화물을 기반으로 하는 TFT 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 현재 TTFT 물질로 많이 연구되고 있는 산화물은 ZnO(3.4 eV)나 $InO_x$(3.6 eV), $GaO_x$(4.9 eV), $SnO_x$(3.7 eV)등의 물질과 각각의 조합으로 구성된 재료들이 주로 사용되고 있다. 가장 많은 연구가 이루어진 ZnO 기반의 TFT는 mobility와 switching 속도에서 우수한 특성을 보이나, amorphous ZnO 기반의 TFT의 경우 소자의 안정성이 떨어지는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 ZnO 보다 넓은 bandgap energy를 가질 수 있으며, n-type 특성을 보이고, amorphous 구조로 제작 가능한 IGZO 물질을 사용하여 RF magnetron sputtering 방법으로 박막 증착 온도의 변화를 주어 증착하였고, 증착된 IGZO 박막의 열처리를 통해 이에 따른 특성 변화를 분석하였다. Field emission scanning electron microscope(FESEM)와 surface profiler를 이용하여 IGZO 박막의 표면의 형상과 두께를 확인하였으며, x-ray diffraction(XRD) 분석을 통해 박막의 결정학적 특성을 관찰하였다. TTFT 물질로서 IGZO 박막의 적합성 여부를 확인하기 위하여 TFT를 만든 후 I-V를 측정하였으며, UV-vis를 이용하여 IGZO 박막의 투과율을 분석하여 TTFT로의 응용 가능성을 확인하였다.

Zn-In-Sn-O films were prepared at room temperature by combinatorial RF-magnetron co-sputtering system. The cationic contents of the films were varied using a compositionally combinatorial technique. The effects of the oxygen partial pressure and film compositionon the structural and electrical properties were investigated. The Zn-In-Sn-O films deposited at Ar gas atmosphere showed an amorphous phaseirrespective of the film composition. However, the amorphous Zn-In-Sn-O films with a Zn content below 30.0 at% were converted into a bixbyite type-ITO polycrystalline phase with an increase in the oxygen partial pressure. The resistivity, carrier concentration, and Hall mobility were strongly affected by the oxygen partial pressure and chemical composition of the film. At sufficiently high carrier densities above $5{\times}10^{18}cm^{-3}$, the conduction behavior of amorphous Zn-In-Sn-O film changes from thermally activated to degenerate band conduction accompanied with high mobility.

Transparent conducting aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films were deposited on Coming glass substrate using an Gun-type rf magnetron sputtering deposition technology. The AZO thin films were fabricated with an AZO ceramic target (Zn: 98wt.%, $Al_2O_3$: 2wt.%). The AZO thin films were deposited with various growth conditions such as the substrate temperature, oxygen pressure. X -ray diffraction (XRD), UV/visible spectroscope, atomic force microscope (AFM), and Hall effect measurement system were done in order to investigate the properties of the AZO thin films Among the AZO thin films prepared in this study, the one formed at conditions of the substrate temperature $100^{\circ}C$, Ar 50 sccm, $O_2$ 5 sccm and working pressure 5 motor showed the best properties of an electrical resistivity of $1.763{\times}10^{-4}\;[{\Omega}{\cdot}cm]$, a carrier concentration of $1.801{\times}10^{21}\;[cm^{-3}]$, and a carrier mobility of $19.66\;[cm^2/V{\cdot}S]$, which indicates that it could be used as a transparent electrode for thin film transistor and flat panel display applications.

The increase of vehicles stagnations leads to the increasing attention to the way customers pay and a large number of projects on electronic cash system. Transport system is comprised of a number of advanced technologies, including information processing, communications, control, and electronics. Recently many research on a system which provides contact in order to protect driver's vehicle passage have been carried out. And some potential problems from that system are being reviewed by electronic cash system. In this papers, we suggest RF protocol developing technology using the concept of electronic cash. ATM electronic cash developing is consist of component of pre-developed coin throw, integration of component using its, and production of more requirement-satisfactory ITS solution. Result increase 15~40% pre-type vehicles stagnations. Especially, we expect this proposed concept would be well adapted to our national environments.

In this study, the 2-step methode by ALD equipment was used to improve the characteristics of ZnO thin films used in a piezoelectric layer when the FBAR devices of a SMR type are fabricated. The Height of formed buffer layer was $400{\AA}$ and ZnO thin film of $13600{\AA}$ was deposited by RF sputter on the buffer layer. When ZnO thin films are deposited, deposition conditions such as pressure, injection time of source and purge time were changed variously. The characteristics of piezoelectric layer such as a crystal orientation and micro-structure of deposited ZnO thin films were studied by SEM, AFM and XRD.

Aluminum nitride (AlN) thin films have been deposited on Au electrodes by using reactive RF magnetron sputtering method in a gas mixture of Ar and $N_2$ at different substrate temperature. It was found that substrate temperature was varied in the range up to $400^{\circ}C$, highly c-axis oriented film can be obtained at $300^{\circ}C$ with full width at half maximum (FWHM) $3.1^{\circ}$. Increase in surface roughness from 3.8 nm to 5.9 nm found to be associated with increase in grain size, with substrate temperature; however, the AlN film fabricated at $400^{\circ}C$ exhibited a granular type of structure with non-uniform grains. The Al 2p and N 1s peak in the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectrum confirmed the formation of Al-N bonds. The XPS spectrum also indicated the presence of oxynitrides and oxides, resulting from the presence of residual oxygen in the vacuum chamber. It is concluded that the AlN film deposited at substrate temperature of $300^{\circ}C$ exhibited the most desirable properties for the application of high-frequency surface acoustic devices.

This paper describes the ohmic contact formation of single crystalline 3C-SiC thin films heteroepitaxially grown on Si(001) wafers. In this work, a TiW (Titanium-tungsten) film as a contact matieral was deposited by RF magnetron sputter and annealed with the vacuum and RTA (rapid thermal anneal) process respectively. Contact resistivities between the TiW film and the n-type 3C-SiC substrate were measured by the C-TLM (circular transmission line model) method. The contact phases and interface the TiW/3C-SiC were evaulated with XRD (X-ray diffraction), SEM (scanning electron microscope) and AES (Auger electron spectroscopy) depth-profiles, respectively. The TiW film annealed at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 45 sec with the RTA play am important role in formation of ohmic contact with the 3C-SiC substrate and the contact resistance is less than $4.62{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^{2}$. Moreover, the inter-diffusion at TiW/3C-SiC interface was not generated during before and after annealing, and kept stable state. Therefore, the ohmic contact formation technology of single crystalline 3C-SiC using the TiW film is very suitable for high temperature MEMS applications.

In this paper, we found surface shapes are affected by several parameters of RIE, such as RF power, pressure, temp, and process times. The reflectance of pyramid and half sphere structures show differences among shapes, size, height, and depth of those structures. We made about $1{\mu}m$ pyramid and half sphere shapes of silicon surface with RIE. For comparing the reflectance, pyramid and half sphere structures are fabricated with same height. Pyramid structure cell shows higher cell efficiency of 12.5% by 1.1% than one of half sphere structure of 11.4%. The light absorption is more increased through the pyramid structure than half sphere structure.
