전력 전자 시스템 내의 전도성 노이즈는 반도체 스위칭 소자의 고속 동작에 큰 영향을 받는다. 특히 실리콘 카바이드 (SiC) 등의 신소재 반도체 소자 (wide band-gap device, WBG device) 특유의 고속 dv/dt 특성이 전력전자모듈 (power electronics module, PEM) 내의 기생 용량 (parasitic capacitance)에 인가될 경우 상당한 전도성 노이즈의 원인이 되므로 이를 해결할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 유전율이 낮은 재료를 PEM 내부에 사용함으로써 기생 용량을 줄이고, 따라서 공통 모드 전류의 발생 또한 최소화할 수 있는 설계를 제안한다. 제안된 PEM 설계 기법은 외부 필터를 필요로 하지 않으며, PEM 내의 스위칭 소자-방열 소자간 열저항 (thermal resistance)를 증가시키지 않으면서도 기생 용량을 최소화하여 노이즈를 억제한다. 제안된 방법으로 제작된 PEM을 1 kW 출력 100 kHz 스위칭 주파수의 강압형 dc-dc 컨버터에 적용하여 공통모드 전도성 전류가 줄어듬을 증명하였다.

The paper gives an overview of the concepts, basic requirements, and trends regarding packaging technologies of power modules in hybrid (HEV) and electric vehicles (EV). Power electronics is gaining more and more importance in the automotive sector due to the slow but steady progress of introducing partially or even fully electric powered vehicles. The demands for power electronic devices and systems are manifold, and concerns besides aspects such as energy efficiency, cooling and costs especially robustness and lifetime issues. Higher operation temperatures and the current density increase of new IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) generations make it more and more complicated to meet the quality requirements for power electronic modules. Especially the increasing heat dissipation inside the silicon (Si) leads to maximum operation temperatures of nearly $200^{\circ}C$. As a result new packaging technologies are needed to face the demands of power modules in the future. Wide-band gap (WBG) semiconductors such as silicon carbide (SiC) or gallium nitride (GaN) have the potential to considerably enhance the energy efficiency and to reduce the weight of power electronic systems in EVs due to their improved electrical and thermal properties in comparison to Si based solutions. In this paper, we will introduce various package materials, advanced packaging technologies, heat dissipation and thermal management of advanced power modules with extended reliability for EV applications. In addition, SiC and GaN based WBG power modules will be introduced.

Hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (${\mu}c-Si:H$) films have attracted much attention as materials of the bottom-cells in Si thin film tandem photovoltaics due to their low bandgap and excellent stability against light soaking. However, in PECVD, the source gas $SiH_4$ must be highly diluted by $H_2$, which eventually results in low deposition rate. Moreover, it is known that high-rate ${\mu}c-Si:H$ growth is usually accompanied by a large number of dangling-bond (DB) defects in the resulting films, which act as recombination centers for photoexcited carriers, leading to a deterioration in the device performance. During film deposition, Si nanoparticles generated in $SiH_4$ discharges can be incorporated into films, and such incorporation may have effects on film properties depending on the size, structure, and volume fraction of nanoparticles incorporated into films. Here we report experimental results on the effects of nonoparticles incorporation at the different substrate temperature studied using a multi-hollow discharge plasma CVD method in which such incorporation can be significantly suppressed in upstream region by setting the gas flow velocity high enough to drive nanoparticles toward the downstream region. All experiments were performed with the multi-hollow discharge plasma CVD reactor at RT, 100, and $250^{\circ}C$, respectively. The gas flow rate ratio of $SiH_4$ to $H_2$ was 0.997. The total gas pressure P was kept at 2 Torr. The discharge frequency and power were 60 MHz, 180 W, respectively. Crystallinity Xc of resulting films was evaluated using Raman spectra. The defect densities of the films were measured with electron spin resonance (ESR). The defect density of fims deposited in the downstream region (with nonoparticles) is higher defect density than that in the upstream region (without nanoparticles) at low substrate temperature of RT and $100^{\circ}C$. This result indicates that nanoparticle incorporation can change considerably their film properties depending on the substrate temperature.

유도결합형 플라즈마 (ICP-RIE) 장치를 이용하여 SBT ($SrBi_2Ta_2O_9$)/Si의 수직식각 실험을 하였다. 이와 같은 실험의 목적은 수직 단면구조의 강유전체 gate구조 및 capacitor 제조에 있어서 유효면적을 확보하고 parasitic effect를 최소화 하는 기술이 우수한 소자 특성을 얻기 위해 매우 중요한 기술이기 때문이다. $Ar/C1_2$를 반응가스로 사용하였으며 $Ar/C1_2$유량비를 각각 1, 0.8, 0.6, 0.4로 바꾸어 가면서 각 유량비에 대해 RF power를 700, 600, 500W로 변화시키는 동안 DC power를 각각 200, 150, 100, 50 W로 변화시키면서 식각 실험을 하였다. 식각조건 변화에 따른 수직 및 수평 식각율, 선택식각율, 감광막의 보호성, 리소그라피 조건에 따른 식각율 및 식각단면 구조의 특성, 식각율 변화에 따른 패턴 크기의 변화, SBT의 식각 단면 특성 등을 조사하였다. $Ar/C1_2$유량비가 0.8, RF power 700 W, DC power 200 W 일 때 식각속도는 1050 A/min으로 최적의 식각율을 확인하였다. 그리고 주사전자현미경의 관찰 결과 수 적도는 $82^{\circ}C$ 정도로 매우 양호함을 알 수 있었다.

For integrated passive device (IPD) applications, we have successfully developed and characterized metalinsulator-metal (MIM) capacitors with 2000 $\AA$ plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) silicon nitride which are deposited with the $SiH_4/NH_3$ gas mixing rate, working pressure, and RF power of PECVD at $250^{\circ}C$. Five PECVD process parameters are designed to lower the refractive index and lower the deposition rate of $Si_3N_4$ films for the high breakdown electric field. For the PECVD process condition of gas mixing rate (0.957), working pressure (0.9 Torr), and RF power (60 W), the atomic force microscopy (AFM) root mean square (RMS) value of about 2000 $\AA$ $Si_3N_4$ on the bottom metal is lowest at 0.862 nm and the breakdown electric field is highest at about 8.0 MV/cm with a capacitance density of 326.5 pF/$mm^2$. A pretreatment of metal electrodes is proposed, which can reduce the peeling of nitride in the harsh test environment of heat, pressure, and humidity.

Organic photovoltaic effects were studied in a device structure of ITO/CuPc/Al and ITO/CuPc/$C_{60}$/BCP/Al. A thickness of CuPc layer was varied from 10 nm to 50 nm, we have obtained that the optimum CuPc layer thickness is around 40 nm from the analysis of the current density-voltage characteristics in CuPc single layer photovoltaic cell. From the thickness-dependent photovoltaic effects in CuPc/$C_{60}$ heterojunction devices, higher power conversion efficiency was obtained in ITO/20nm CuPc/40nm $C_{60}$/Al, which has a thickness ratio (CuPc/$C_{60}$) of 1:2 rather than 1:1 or 1:3. Light intensity on the device was measured by calibrated Si-photodiode and radiometer/photometer of International Light Inc(IL 14004).
