Si(100) wafer와 $SiO_2$/Si(100) 웨이퍼에 증착된 NiFe 합금 박막의 결정상과 자기적 특성을 비교하고자 동시 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 두 기판 위에 150 nm의 박막을 제조하여 그의 상변화와 자기적 특성을 XRD, FE-SEM, VSM으로 비교하였다. 두 기판 위에 증착된 NiFe 박막은 BCC상으로 증착되었으나 $400^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 열처리를 한 결과 BCC에서 FCC로의 상전이가 일어나는 것을 관찰 할 수 있었으며 Si(100) wafer위에 증착된 박막에서는 $500^{\circ}C$에서 열처리 후에도 BCC와 FCC가 혼재하여 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. $450^{\circ}C$에서 열처리 하였을 때 각형비가 가장 높았으며 포화자화는 0.0118 emu로 나타나고 있었다. $500^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서는 상전이로 인해 포화자화가 급격히 감소하는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

The fabrication method of plasmonic nanodots on silicon substrate has been developed to improve the efficiency of thin film solar cells. Nanoscale metallic nanodots arrays are fabricated by anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template mask which can have different structural parameters by varying anodization conditions. In this paper, the structural parameters of gold nanodots, which can be controlled by the diverse structures of AAO template mask, are investigated to enhance the optical properties of a-Si thin film solar cells. It is found that optical properties of the thin film solar cells are improved by finding optimization values of the structural parameters of the gold nanodot array.

비정질실리콘은 빛을 받으면 자유전자와 자유정공이 무수히 발생하여 전류 또는 전압의 형태로 나타나는 광전변환 재료이다. 이를 광다이오드로 사용하기 위해서는 금속 박막(Thin film)과 결합하여 쇼트키 다이오드로 만드는 기술이 효과적이다. 본 연구에서는 광다이오드의 신뢰성 및 특성을 개선하기 위하여 크롬실리사이드를 기존의 방식과 달리 하부 전극으로 크롬금속 박막을 증착한 후 그 위에 사일렌(SiH4)가스를 사용해서 PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) 진공 증착장비로 최적의 비정질실리콘 박막을 얇게 (100$\AA$) 만들어 열처리를 통하여 크롬실리사이드 박막을 형성 한 후 광다이오드 소자를 제조한다. 이렇게 형성된 크롬실리사이드 광 다이오드를 사용하여 암전류와 광전류를 측정찬 결과 기존의 방식보다 우수한 성능이 나타났고, 공정도 단순화 할 수 있었으며 그리고 신뢰성도 개선되었다.

Multijunction solar cells present a practical solution towards a better photovoltaic conversion for a wider spectral range. In this review, we compare different types of multi-ijunction solar cell. First, we introduce thin film multijunction solar cell include to the thin film silicon, III-V material and chalcopyrite material. Until now the maximum reported power conversion efficiencies (PCE) of solar cells having different component sub-cells are 14.0% (thin film silicon), 46% (III-V material), 4.4% (chalcopyrite material) respectively. We then discuss the development of multijunction solar cell in which c-Si is used as bottom sub-cell while III-V material, thin film silicon, chalcopyrite material or perovskite material is used as top sub-cells.

Twins along(202) and (211) planes are observed in monoclinic $ZrO_2$ thin film, which is deposited on Si substrate by MOCVD at $350^{\circ}C$ and annealed at $1150^{\circ}C$ for 10 hours in air. These types of twin have not been reported in monoclinic $ZrO_2$. The twins seem to be originated from the two dimensional tensile stresses applied to the $ZrO_2$ thin film due to the different thermal expansions of $ZrO_2$ thin film and Si substrate.

This paper describes the fabrication and characteristics of ceramic thin film type pressure sensors based on Ta-N strain gauges for high temperature applications. Ta-N thin-film strain gauges are deposited onto a thermally oxidized Si diaphragm by RF sputtering in an argon-nitrogen atmos[here($N_2$ gas ratio: 8%, annealing condition: 90$0^{\circ}C$, 1 hr.), patterned on a wheatstone bridge configuration, and used as pressure sensing elements with a high stability and a high gauge factor. The sensitivity is 1.097 ～ 1.21 mV/Vㆍkgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ in the temperature range of 25 ～ 200 $^{\circ}C$ and the maximum non-linearity resistance), non-linearity than existing Si piezoresistive pressure sensors. The fabricated ceramic thin-film type pressure sensor is expected to be usefully applied as pressure and load sensors that os operable under high-temperature.

The surface flatness of heteroepitaxially grown 3C-SiC thin films is a key factor affecting electronic and mechanical device applications. This paper describes the surface flatness of polycrystalline 3C-SiC thin films by the gas flow control according to the location change of geometric structure. The polycrystalline 3C-SiC thin film was deposited by APCVD(Atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition) at $1200^{\circ}C$ using HMDS(Hexamethyildisilane : $Si_2(CH_3)_6)$ as single precursor, and 5 slm Ar as the main flow gas. According to the location of geometric structure, surface fringes and flatness changed. It shows the distribution of thickness is formed uniformly in the specific location of the geometric structure.

Low temperature SiOx film process has being required for both silicon and oxide (IGZO) based low temperature thin film transistor (TFT) for application of flexible display. In recent decades, from low density and high pressure such as capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) type plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) to the high density plasma and low pressure such as inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) have been used to researching to obtain high quality silicon oxide (SiOx) thin film at low temperature. However, these plasma deposition devices have limitation of controllability of process condition because process parameters of plasma deposition such as RF power, working pressure and gas ratio influence each other on plasma conditions which non-leanly influence depositing thin film. In compared to these plasma deposition devices, neutral beam assisted chemical vapor deposition (NBaCVD) has advantage of independence of control parameters. The energy of neutral beam (NB) can be controlled independently of other process conditions. In this manner, we obtained NB dependent high crystallized intrinsic and doped silicon thin film at low temperature in our another papers. We examine the properties of the low temperature processed silicon oxide thin films which are fabricated by the NBaCVD. NBaCVD deposition system consists of the internal inductively coupled plasma (ICP) antenna and the reflector. Internal ICP antenna generates high density plasma and reflector generates NB by auger recombination of ions at the surface of metal reflector. During deposition of silicon oxide thin film by using the NBaCVD process with a tungsten reflector, the energetic Neutral Beam (NB) that controlled by the reflector bias believed to help surface reaction. Electrical and structural properties of the silicon oxide are changed by the reflector bias, effectively. We measured the breakdown field and structure property of the Si oxide thin film by analysis of I-V, C-V and FTIR measurement.

Aluminum nitride (AlN) thin films were deposited on Si substrates by using polycrystalline (poly) 3C-SiC buffer layers, in which the AlN film was grown by pulsed reactive magnetron sputtering. Characteristics of grown AlN films were investigated experimentally by means of FE-SEM, X-ray diffraction, and FT-IR, respectively. The columnar structure of AlN thin films was observed by FE-SEM. X-ray diffraction pattern proved that the grown AlN film on 3C-SiC layers had highly (002) orientation with low value of FWHM (${\Theta}=1.3^{\circ}$) in the rocking curve around (002) reflections. These results were shown that almost free residual stress existed in the grown AlN film on 3C-SiC buffer layers from the infrared absorbance spectrum. Therefore, the presented results showed that AlN thin films grown on 3C-SiC buffer layers can be used for various piezoelectric fields and M/NEMS applications.

Thin films of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si : H) and hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC:H) of different compositions were deposited on Si(100) wafer and glass by RF plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF-PECVD). In the present work, we have investigated the effects of the RF power on the properties, such as optical band gap, transmittance and crystallinity. The Raman data show that the a-Si:H material consists of an amorphous and crystalline phase for the co-presence of two peaks centered at 480 and $520 cm^{-1}$ . The UV-VIS data suggested that the optical energy band gap ($E_{g}$ ) is not changed effectively with RF power and the obtained $E_{g}$(1.80eV) of the $\mu$c-Si:H thin film has almost the same value of a-Si:H thin film (1.75eV), indicating that the crystallity of hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin film can mainly not affected to their optical properties. However, the experimental results have shown that$ E_{g}$ of the a-SiC:H thin films changed little on the annealing temperature while $E_{g}$ increased with the RF power. The Raman spectrum of the a-SiC:H thin films annealed at high temperatures showed that graphitization of carbon clusters and microcrystalline silicon occurs.
