스테인레스 스틸 유연기판 위에 플라즈마 화학기상 증착법 (plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition)을 이용하여 nip 구조의 미세결정질 실리콘 박막 태양전지 (microcrystalline silicon thin film solar cell)를 제조하고 i ${\mu}c$-Si:H광 흡수층과 p ${\mu}c$-Si:H 사이에 i a-Si:H 버퍼 층을 삽입하여 i/p 계면특성을 개선하고 이에 따른 태양전지 성능특성 변화를 조사하였다. ${\mu}c$-Si:H 박막으로 이루어진 i/p 계면에서의 구조적, 전기적 결함은 태양전지 내에서 생성된 캐리어의 재결합과 shunt resistance 감소를 초래하여 개방전압 (open circuit voltage) 및 곡선 인자 (fill factor)를 감소시키는 것으로 알려졌다. 제조된 미세결정질 실리콘 박막 태양전지는 SUS/Ag/ZnO:Al/n ${\mu}c$-Si:H/i ${\mu}c$-Si:H/p ${\mu}c$-Si:H 구조로 제작되었으며 i/p 계면 사이의 i a-Si;H 버퍼층 두께를 변화시키고 이에 따른 태양전지의 특성을 조사하였다. 태양전지의 구조적, 전기적 특성 변화는 Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), UV-visible-nIR spectrometry, Photo IV와 Dark IV를 통하여 조사하였다.

최근에 3 ㎓이상의 고주파용 전자부품과 소자의 제조에 낮은 저항온도계수(TCR)값과 높은 정밀도를 갖는 박막저항이 사용되고 있다. Ni-Cr 박막저항은 낮은 TCR 값과 저항에 대한 높은 안정성 때문에 저항 물질로 사용되는 가장 일반적인 물질이다. 본 연구에서는 $Ni_{72}Cr_Al_3Mn_4Si$(wt%)이 첨가된 우수한 저항특성을 갖는 S-type의 Evanohm 합금 타겟과 스퍼터링 장비를 이용하여 박막 저항을 제조하였다. 또한 열처리 조건을 $200^{\circ}C$, 300$300^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$로 변화시키면서 고주파 박막 저항의 미세구조와 전기적 특성을 관찰하여 최상의 열처리 조건을 알아보았다.

YMnO$_3$ thin films were spun-coated on the Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si substrates by sol-gel process using alkoxides, and then dried on hot plates from 300 to 450 $^{\circ}C$. The prepared YMnO$_3$ thin films were annealed at 850 $^{\circ}C$ in O$_2$ atmosphere for 1 h. The crystallization of YMnO$_3$ thin films were improved to preferred c-axis orientation and the dielectric characteristics were progressed by increasing the drying temperature. The range of dielectric constant of thin film dried at 450 $^{\circ}C$ is 12.9-22.3 and close to that of YMnO$_3$ single crystal. The ferroelecrtic property of YMnO$_3$ thin film was observed on the YMnO$_3$ films. The maximum remnant polarization (2Pr) of YMnO$_3$ thin films dried at 450 $^{\circ}C$ was about 2.91 ${\mu}$ C/cm2. It was suggested that the drying temperature affect to the initial stage of thin film growth of preferred c-axis orientation.

Thermal stability of the electroless deposited Cu thin film was investigated. Cu/TaN/Si multilayer was fabricated by electroless-depositing Cu thin layer on TaN diffusion barrier layer which was deposited by MOCVD on the Si substrate, and was annealed in $H_2$ ambient to investigate the microstructure of Cu film with a post heat-treatment. Cu thin film with good adhesion was successfully deposited on the surface of the TaN film by electroless deposition with a proper activation treatment and solution control. Microstructural property of the electroless-deposited Cu layer was improved by a post-annealing in the reduced atmosphere of $H_2$ gas up to $600^{\circ}C$. Thermal stability of Cu/TaN/Si system was maintained up to $600^{\circ}C$ annealing temperature, but the intermediate compounds of Cu-Si were formed above $650^{\circ}C$ because Cu element passed through the TaN layer. On the other hand, thermal stability of the Cu/TaN/Si system in Ar ambient was maintained below $550^{\circ}C$ annealing temperature due to the minimal impurity of $O_2$ in Ar gas.

Titanium oxide (TiO2) thin films have valuable properties such as a high refractive index, excellent transmittance in the visible and near-IR frequency, and high chemical stability. Therefore it is extensively used in anti-reflection coating, sensor, and photocatalysis as electrical and optical applications. Specially, TiO2 have a high dielectric constant of 180 along the c axis and 90 along the a axis, so it is highlighted in fabricating dielectric capacitors in micro electronic devices. A variety of methods have been used to produce patterned self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), including microcontact printing ($\mu$CP), UV-photolithotgraphy, e-beam lithography, scanned-probe based micro-machining, and atom-lithography. Above all, thin film fabrication on $\mu$CP modified surface is a potentially low-cost, high-throughput method, because it does not require expensive photolithographic equipment, and it produce micrometer scale patterns in thin film materials. The patterned SAMs were used as thin resists, to transfer patterns onto thin films either by chemical etching or by selective deposition. In this study, we deposited TiO2 thin films on Si (1000 substrateds using titanium (IV) isopropoxide ([Ti(O(C3H7)4)] ; TIP as a single molecular precursor at deposition temperature in the range of 300-$700^{\circ}C$ without any carrier and bubbler gas. Crack-free, highly oriented TiO2 polycrystalline thin films with anatase phase and stoichimetric ratio of Ti and O were successfully deposited on Si(100) at temperature as low as 50$0^{\circ}C$. XRD and TED data showed that below 50$0^{\circ}C$, the TiO2 thin films were dominantly grown on Si(100) surfaces in the [211] direction, whereas with increasing the deposition temperature to $700^{\circ}C$, the main films growth direction was changed to be [200]. Two distinct growth behaviors were observed from the Arhenius plots. In addition to deposition of THe TiO2 thin films on Si(100) substrates, patterning of TiO2 thin films was also performed at grown temperature in the range of 300-50$0^{\circ}C$ by MOCVD onto the Si(100) substrates of which surface was modified by organic thin film template. The organic thin film of SAm is obtained by the $\mu$CP method. Alpha-step profile and optical microscope images showed that the boundaries between SAMs areas and selectively deposited TiO2 thin film areas are very definite and sharp. Capacitance - Voltage measurements made on TiO2 films gave a dielectric constant of 29, suggesting a possibility of electronic material applications.

Phase transition, dielectric properties, and leakage current characteristics of Ta2O5 thin film fabricated by sol-gel process with tantalum penta-n-butoxide were studied as a function of annealing temperature in O2 atmoshpere. Although Ta2O5 thin film annealed at temperatures below 700$^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr was amorphous, it was crystallized to ${\beta}$-Ta2O5 of orthorhombic phase by annealing at temperatures higher than 750$^{\circ}C$. With increasing annealing temperature from 500$^{\circ}C$ to 900$^{\circ}C$, dielectric constant of sol-gel processed Ta2O5 thin film was changed from 17.6 to 15.3 due to the increase of SiO2 thickness at Ta2O5/Si interface. For Ta2O5 thin film annealed at 500$^{\circ}C$ to 800$^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr in O2 atmosphere, leakage current was remarkably reduced and breakdown strength was increased with higher annealing temperature. For Ta2O5 film annealed at 800$^{\circ}C$, breakdown did not occur even at electric field strength of 30${\times}$105V/cm and leakage current was maintained lower than 10-8A/$\textrm{cm}^2$.
