We studied on the nondestructive evaluation of the elastic wave signal of SiC ceramics and SiC/SiC composite ceramics under monotonic tensile loading. The elastic wave signal of cross and unidirectional SiC/SiC composite ceramics were obtained by pencil lead method and bending test. It was applied for the time-frequency method which used by the discrete wavelet analysis algorithm. The time-frequency analysis provides time variation of each frequency component involved in a waveform, which makes it possible to evaluate the contribution of SiC fiber frequency. The results were compared with the characteristic of frequency group from SiC slurry and fiber. Based on the results, if it is possible to shift up and design as a higher frequency group, we will can make the superior material better than those of exiting SiC/SiC composites.

Silicon carbide (SiC) is used as a substrate material for power semiconductors; however, SiC chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) requires considerable time owing to its chemical stability and high hardness. Therefore, researchers are attempting to increase the material removal rate (MRR) of SiC CMP using various methods. Mixed-abrasive CMP (MAS CMP) is one method of increasing the material removal efficiency of CMP by mixing two or more particles. The aim of this research is to study the mathematical modeling of the MRR of MAS CMP of SiC with SiO₂ and TiO₂ particles. With a total particle concentration of 32 wt, using 80-nm SiO₂ particles and 25-nm TiO₂ particles maximizes the MRR at 8 wt of the TiO₂ particle concentration. In the case of 5 nm TiO₂ particles, the MRR tends to increase with an increase in TiO₂ concentration. In the case of particle size 10-25 nm TiO₂, as the particle concentration increases, the MRR increases to a certain level and then decreases again. TiO₂ particles of 25 nm or more continuously decreased MRR as the particle concentration increased. In the model proposed in this study, the MRR of MAS CMP of SiC increases linearly with changes in pressure and relative speed, which shows the same result as the Preston's equation. These results can contribute to the future design of MAS; however, the model needs to be verified and improved in future experiments.

본 연구에서는 반도체 패키징의 몰딩 공정에서 발생하는 EMC 폐기물을 재활용하여 실리카 나노입자를 성공적으로 제조하였으며, 이를 CMP 공정용 슬러리의 연마재 물질로 응용하였다. 상세히는, EMC 폐기물을 암모니아 용액과 소니케이터를 활용하여 열과 에너지를 가하는 에칭 과정을 통해 실리카 나노입자를 제조하기 위한 실라놀 전구체를 추출하였다. 이후 실라놀 전구체를 활용하여 졸-겔법을 통해 약 100nm를 나타내는 균일한 구형의 실리카 나노입자(e-SiO₂, experimentally synthesized SiO₂)를 합성하였다. 제조한 e-SiO₂는 물리화학적 분석을 통해 상용화된 실리카 입자(c-SiO₂, commercially SiO₂)와 동일한 형상과 구조를 지니고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 최종적으로, e-SiO₂를 연마재로 사용하여 CMP 공정용 슬러리를 제조하여 실제적인 반도체 칩의 연마 성능을 확인하였다. 그 결과, 반도체 칩의 표면에 존재하던 스크래치가 성공적으로 제거되어 매끈한 표면으로 바뀌게 된 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과는 물질의 재활용법에 대한 설계를 통해 EMC 폐기물의 부가가치를 향상시키기 위하여 반도체 공정에서 대표적으로 활용되는 고부가가치 소재인 실리카 입자로 성공적으로 제조하고 이를 응용하는 방법에 대해 제시하였다.

The chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process is now widely employed in the ultra large scale integrated (ULSI) semiconductor fabrication. Especially, shallow trench isolation (STI) has become a key isolation scheme for sub-0.13/0.10${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS technology. The most important issues of STI-CMP is to decrease the various defects such as nitride residue, dishing, and tom oxide. To solve these problems, in this paper, we studied the planarization characteristics using slurry additive with the high selectivity between $SiO_2$ and $Si_3$$N_4$ films for the purpose of process simplification and in-situ end point detection. As our experimental results, it was possible to achieve a global planarization and STI-CMP process could be dramatically simplified. Also, we estimated the reliability through the repeated tests with the optimized process conditions in order to identify the reproducibility of STI-CMP process.

The increasing hydroxyl ($OH^-$) groups diffused into the TEOS and then weakened reactants such as H-C-O-Si bonds on the surface of TEOS film were actively generated with the increase of slurry temperature. These soft reactants on the surface of TEOS film could be removed easily by mechanical parts of CMP.

실리콘 주괴(ingot)에서 실리콘 웨이퍼를 제조할 때 사용되는 슬러리는 SiC 연마재와 절삭유를 포함한다. 실리콘 웨이퍼 제조 시 생긴 폐슬러지에서 SiC 연마재와 절삭유는 분리되어 재활용된다. 본 연구는 폐슬러지 Si 분말에 C분말을 혼합하여 SiC를 합성하는 것에 관한 것이다. 다양한 크기의 SiC 분말과 휘스커가 제조되었으며 기존의 휘스커의 크기보다 작은 나노미터 크기의 휘스커도 발생하였다. 일반적으로 휘스커는 금속 불순물을 첨가하여 제조되는데, 본 연구에서 나노미터 크기의 휘스커 발생은 폐슬러지에 첨가되어있는 미세한 크기의 금속불순물의 영향으로 판단된다.

The mechanical properties of $SiC_f/SiC$ composites reinforced with continuous SiC fiber have been investigated in conjunction with the detailed analysis of their microstructures. Especially, the effect of test temperature on the characterization of $SiC_f/SiC$ composites was examined. In this composite system, a braiding Hi-Nicalon SiC fibric was selected as a reinforcement. $SiC_f/SiC$ composites have been fabricated by the reaction sintering process, using the complex matrix slurry with a constant composition ratio of SiC and C particles. The characterization of $RS-SiC_f/SiC$ composites was investigated by means of SEM, EDS and three point bending test. Based on the mechanical property-microstructure correlation, the high temperature applicability of $RS-SiC_f/SiC$ composites was discussed.

Most of high performance fabrics for the car racing protective clothing have been developed to have thermal resistance, flame retardant property, impact resistance and anti-frictional properties to protect the racer from the crucial accident. In this study, the meta-aramid fabric, which has inherent flame retardant, was coated with nanoparticles of SiC to enhance the impact resistance and anti-friction properties. Uniform coating of the nanoparticles onto the fabrics was obtained by using tape casting method. As the experimental parameters, size and content of the SiC nanoparticle were varied with the coating conditions of the fabric surface. The effects of the nanoparticle coating on the properties of meta-aramid fabric were examined with various instrumental analyses such as SEM, tensile strength and abrasion test.

Sheets of SiC-SiC whisker maxed matrix were prepared from the mixed slurry of SiC whisker and SiC matrix by the rolling method. With the increase of SiC whisker, the pore size, the porosity and the phosphoric acid absorbency of the matrix were increased, while the bubble pressure was decreased. The activation energy for the transfer of H+ ion was decreased with the increase of mixing ratio of SiC whisker to the SiC matrix from the measurement of hydrogen ion conductivity. The activation energy was evaluated as 0.25 eV when the mixing ratio of SiC whisker to the SiC matrix was 1 : 2 and the activation energy was 0.16 eV for the 2 : 1 matrix. It means that SiC whisker matrix contributes to attain a better microstructure for the diffusion of hydrogen ion. From the measurement of single cell performance of matrix with various mixing ratio, it is concluded that if SiC-SiC whisker maxed matrix has a sufficient bubble pressure to prevent the crossover of H2 gas, the current density of a fuel cell is increased with the increase of acid absorbency of the matrix. Current density was improved from 140 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ for 0.25 mm thickness of matrix to 170 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ for the 0.20 mm one at 700 mV.
