This paper presents the results of spectral analysis about waveforms and leakage current waveforms on contaminated silicon insulators under various environment conditions.(salt fog, clean fog, rain). The larger the leakage current during 200ms, the higher the power spectrum at 60Hz. If contaminated insulators suffers from high salt density fog, the leakage current occurs with high crest value intermittently, results in the low spectrum. Analysis of leakage current data showed that this electrical activity was characterized by transient arcing behavior contaminants are deposited on the insulator surface during salt fog tests. This provides a path for the leakage current to flow along the surface of the insulator. It is important to have an indication of the pollution accumulation in order to evaluate the test performance of a particular insulator. If the drop in surface resistivity is severe enough, then the leakage current may escalate into service interrupting flashover that degrade power quality.

The silicon-adsorbed oxygen(Si-O) superlattice grown by ultra high vacuum-chemical vapor deposition(UHV-CVD) was introduced as an epitaxial barrier for silicon quantum electron devices. The current-voltage (I-V) measurement results show the stable and good insulating behavior with high breakdown voltage. It is apparent that the Si-O superlattice can serve as an epitaxially grown insulating layer as possible replacement of silicon-on-insulator(SOI). This thick barrier may be useful as an epitaxial insulating gate for field effect transistors(FETs). The rationale is that it should be possible to fabricate a FET on top of another FET, moving one step closer to the ultimate goal of future silicon-based three-dimensional integrated circuit(3DIC).

열화학기상증착법(Thermal-CVD)을 이용하여 SOI(snilicon-on-insulator)기판과 실리콘기판 상에 단결정 3C-SiC 이종박막을 동시에 성장하고, 그 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 결정성 평가로는 X-선 회절(XRD)분석과 Raman 산란 분광분석, 그리고 투과전자현미경을 이용하였고, 잔류 웅력 비교 분석으로는 laser scanning 방법 과 Raman 산란 분광분석의 3C-SiC LO peak의 위치변화, 그리고 X-선 회절분석의 3C-SiC(004) peak의 위치변화를 이용하였다. 그 결과 SOI 기판과 실리콘 기판상에 고품위의 단결정 3C-SiC 박막이 성장됨을 확인하였고, SOI 기판을 사용한 경우 실리콘 기판에 비해 성장된 3C-SiC 이종박막의 잔류 응력이 실제로 감소됨을 확인하였다.

The electrothermal characteristics of a high voltage LIGBT(Lateral Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) using thin silicon on insulator (SOI) and silicon on sapphire (SOS) such as thermal conductivity and sink is analyzed by MEDICI. The device simulations demonstrate that the thermal conductivity of the buried oxide is an important parameter for modeling of the thermal behavior of SOI devices. In this paper we simulated the thermal conductivity and temperature distribution of a SOI LIGBT with an insulator layer of SiO$_2$ and $Al_2$O$_3$ at before and after latch-up and verified that the SOI LIGBT with the $Al_2$O$_3$ insulator had good thermal conductivity and reliability.

We have examined the silicon nitride ($SiN_x$) as gate insulator with the ammonia ($NH_3$) plamsa treatment for the soluble derivatives of polythiophene as p-type channel materials of organic thin film transistors (OTFTs). Fabrications of the jetting-processed OTFTs with $SiN_x$ as gate insulator by $NH_3$ plasma treatment can be similar to performance of OTFTs with silicon dioxide ($SiO_2$) insulator.

본 논문에서는 strained Silicon-on-Insulator (sSOI) 기판에 제작된 triple-gate MOSFETs 의 이동도와 단채널 효과에 대하여 분석 하였다. Strained 실리콘에 제작된 소자는 전류의 방향이 <110> 밤항일 경우 전자의 이동도는 증가하나 정공의 이동도는 오히려 감소하는 문제점이 있다. 이를 극복하기 위하여 소자에서 전류의 방향이 <110>방향에서 45 도 회전된 <100> 방향으로 흐르게 제작하였다. Strain이 가해지지 않은 기판에 제작된 동일한 구조의 소자와 비교하여 sSOI 에 제작된 소자에서 전자의 이동도는 약 40% 정공의 이동도는 약 50% 증가하였다. 채널 길이가 100 nm 내외로 감소함에 따라 나타나는 drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) 현상, subthreshold slope (SS)의 증가 현상에서 sSOI에 제작된 소자가 상대적으로 우수한 특성을 보였으며 off-current leakage ($I_{off}$) 특성도 sSOI기판이 더 우수한 특성을 보였다.

최근 반도체 소자의 미세화에 따라, 단채널 효과에 의한 누설전류 및 소비전력의 증가 등이 문제되고 있다. 대표적인 휘발성 메모리인 dynammic random access memory (DRAM)의 경우, 소자의 집적화가 진행됨에 따라 저장되는 정보의 양을 유지하기 위해 캐패시터영역의 복잡한 공정을 요구하게 된다. 하나의 캐패시터와 하나의 트랜지스터로 이루어진 기존의 DRAM과 달리, single transistor (1T) DRAM은 silicon-on-insulator (SOI) 기술을 기반으로 하여, 하나의 트랜지스터로 DRAM 동작을 구현한다. 이러한 구조적인 이점 이외에도, 우수한 전기적 절연 특성과 기생 정전용량 및 소비 전력의 감소 등의 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한 strained-Si 층을 적용한 strained-Silicon-On-Insulator (sSOI) 기술을 이용하여, 전기적 특성 및 메모리 특성의 향상을 기대 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 sSOI 기판위에 1T-DRAM을 구현하였으며, impact ionization과 gate induced-drain-leakage (GIDL) 전류에 의한 메모리 구동 방법을 통해 sSOI 1T-DRAM의 메모리 특성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 strain 효과에 의한 전기적 특성의 향상을 확인하였으며, GIDL 전류를 이용한 메모리 구동 방법을 사용했을 경우 낮은 소비 전력과 개선된 메모리 윈도우를 확인하였다.

Polysilicon on insulator has been recrystallized by zone melting recrystallization method with graphite strip heaters. Experiments are performed with non-seed SOI structures. When the capping layer thickness of Si$\_$3/N$\_$4//SiO$\_$2/ is 2.0.mu.m, grain boundaries are about 120.mu.m spacing and protrusions reduced. After the seed SOI films are annealed at 1100.deg. C in NH$\_$3/ ambient for 3 hours, the recrystallized silicon surface has convex shape. After ZMR process, the tensile stress is 2.49*10$\^$9/dyn/cm$\^$2/ and 3.74*10$\^$9/dyn/cm$\^$2/ in the seed edge and seed center regions. The phenomenon of convex shape and tensile stress difference are completely eliminated by using the PSG/SiO$\_$2/ capping layer. The characterization of SOI films are showed that the SOI films are improved in wetting properties. N channel SOI MOSFET has been fabricated to investigate the electrical characteristics of the recrystallized SOI films. In the 0.7.mu.m thickness SOI MOSFET, kink effects due to the floating substrate occur and the electron mobility was calculated from the measured g$\_$m/ characteristics, which is about 589cm$\^$2//V.s. The recrystallized SOI films are shown to be a good single crystal silicon.

In this study, we fabricated the dual gate (DG) ion-sensitive field-effect-transistor (ISFET) with flexible polyimide (PI) extended gate (EG). The DG ISFETs significantly enhanced the sensitivity of pH in electrolytes from 60 mV/pH to 1152.17 mV/pH and effectively improved the drift and hysteresis phenomenon. This is attributed to the capacitive coupling effect between top gate and bottom gate insulators of the channel in silicon-on-transistor (SOI) metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) FETs. Accordingly, it is expected that the PI-EG based DG-ISFETs is promising technology for high-performance flexible biosensor applications.

The effects of heat treatment on the electrical properties of SGOI were examined. We proposed the optimized heat treatments for improving the interfacial electrical properties in SGOI-MOSFET. By applying the additional pre-RTA(rapid thermal annealing) before gate oxidation and post-RTA after dopant activation, the driving current, the transconductance, and the leakage current were improved significantly.
