APCVD SiO2 또는 PSG 및 PECVD SiN막으로 구성된 이중 또는 삼중층의 반도체 표면보호막 구조의 특성을 층배합방법, 두께 등이 다른 여러 경우에 대하여 비교분석하였다. 문턱전압의 변동, 크랙 및 핀·홀의 발생, 내습성 등의 성질을 검토한 결과, 4,000Å 이상의 두께를 가진 PSG막과 6,000Å 두께의 SiN막으로 된 이중층이 표면보호막 구조로 가장 적합하다는 결론을 얻었다.

We have fabricated transparent polymer composite films with high thermal emissivity, which can be used for heat dissipation of transparent electronics. PMMA (poly(methyl methacrylate)) solution with high transparency and thermal emissivity is mixed with various fillers (carbon nanotubes (CNTs), aluminum nitride (AlN), or silicon carbide (SiC)) with high thermal conductivity. We have achieved the thermal emissivity as high as 0.94 by the addition of CNTs. Compared with the PMMA film on glass, however, the addition of AlN or SiC is shown to rather decrease the thermal emissivity. It is also observed that the thickness of the PMMA film does not affect its thermal emissivity. To avoid any degradation of the thermal conductivity, therefore, the PMMA film thickness is desirable to be $1{\mu}m$. There also exists a tradeoff between the optical transmittance and thermal conductivity on the selection of the amount of fillers.

In order to passivate the GaAs surface, silicon-nitride films were fabricated by using laser CVD method. SiH$_4$ and NH$_3$ were used to obtain SiN films in the range of 100∼300$^{\circ}C$ on p-type (100) GaAs substrate. To determine interface characteristics of the metal-insulator-GaAs structure, electrical measurements were performed such as C-V curves and deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). The results show that the hysteresis was reduced and interface trap density was lowered to 1,012 ∼ 1,013 at 100 ∼ 200$^{\circ}C$. According to the study of surface leakage current, the passivated CaAs has less leakage current compared to non-passivated substrate.

The electrical Properties of metal-insulator-GaAs structure are studied to determined the interfacial characteristics by C-V curves and deep level transient spectroscopy(DLTS). The SiN films are photolysisly deposited from $SiH_4\;and\;NH_3$ in the range of $100^{\circ}C-300^{\circ}C$ on P type, (100) GaAs. The hysteresis is reduced and interface trap density is lowered to $10^{12}-10^{13}$ at $100^{\circ}C-200^{\circ}C$. The surface leakage current is studied too. The passivated GaAs have a little leakage current compared to non passivated GaAs.

$SiH_{4}$와 $NH_{3}$의 RF 글로우방전 분해에 의한 PECVD법으로 a-SiNx:H박막을 제조하고 기판온도, RF 전력, 그리고 $NH_{3}/SiH_{4}$ 유량비 등의 변화에 따른 a-SiNx:H 박막의 유전상수와 광학적 밴드갭 등을 조사하였다. a-SiNx:H막의 유전상수와 광학적 밴드갭은 기판온도, RF 전력 및 $NH_{3}/SiH_{4}$ 유량비 등의 증착변수에 따라 크게 변화하였다. 기판온도가 증가할수록 a-SiNx:H막의 유전상수는 증가하였으며 광학적 밴드갭은 감소하였다. 기판온도, RF 전력, 가스압력, $NH_{3}/SiH_{4}$ 유량비 및 두께를 각각 $250^{\circ}C$, 20 W, 500 mTorr, 10 및 $1500\;{\AA}$로 하였을 때 a-SiNx:H막의 유전상수, 절연파괴전장 및 광학적 밴드갭은 각각 4.3, 1 MV/cm 및 2.9 eV로 나타났다.

텅스턴-보론-카본질소 화합물 박막(W-B-C-N)을 만들기 위하여 박막내에 보론과 카본 그리고 질소의 불순물을 주입한 다음 결정구조를 조사하였으며, 이러한 박막의 식각 특성을 조사하기 위하여 고온에서 열처리한 다음 Cu박막을 W-B-C-N 박막위에 증착한 다음에 열처리하였고 여기에서 열적인 특성을 조사하였다. $1000\;{\AA}$의 박막을 RF magnetron sputtering방법을 이용하여 증착한 후에 박막의 전기적구조적인 특성을 측정하였으며, scratch test를 통해 박막의 결합력을 측정하였고, XRD측정을 통하여 결정성을 조사하였으며, 열처리한 후 etching을 하여 nomarski 현미경을 통하여 확산방지막의 안정성을 조사하였다. 이로부터 확산방지막내의 보론과 카본 질소 등의 불순물이 들어감에 따라 Cu가 Si 속으로 얼마나 들어가는가를 효과적으로 조사하였다. W-B-C-N 확산방지막의 역할은 $850^{\circ}C$까지 고온 열처리를 하는 경우에 Cu 원자가 Si 속으로 확산되어 나가는 것을 효과적으로 방지하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 텅스텐-보론-카본질소 화합물 박막의 비저항은 질소 가스의 유량비를 조절함으로써 쉽게 조절할 수 있었으며, 텅스텐-보론-카본-질소 화합물 박막은 Cu 확산방지막으로 적용했을 때 적절한 질소 농도가 들어간 확산방지막에서는 효과적으로 Cu의 확산을 방지하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This paper describes the influence of a polycrystalline (poly) 3C-SiC buffer layer on the surface acoustic wave (SAW) properties of poly aluminum nitride (AlN) thin films by comparing the center frequency, insertion loss, the electromechanical coupling coefficient ($k^2$), andthetemperaturecoefficientoffrequency(TCF) of an IDT/AlN/3C-SiC structure with those of an IDT/AlN/Si structure, The poly-AlN thin films with an (0002)-preferred orientation were deposited on a silicon (Si) substrate using a pulsed reactive magnetron sputtering system. Results show that the insertion loss (21.92 dB) and TCF (-18 ppm/$^{\circ}C$) of the IDT/AlN/3C-SiC structure were improved by a closely matched coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and small lattice mismatch (1 %) between the AlN and 3C-SiC. However, a drawback is that the $k^2(0.79%)$ and SAW velocity(5020m/s) of the AlN/3C-SiC SAW device were reduced by appearing in some non-(0002)AlN planes such as the (10 $\bar{1}$ 2) and (10 $\bar{1}$ 3) AlN planes in the AlN/SiC film. Although disadvantages were shown to exist, the use of the AlN/3C-SiC structure for SAW applications at high temperatures is possible. The characteristics of the AlN thin films were also evaluated using FT-IR spectra, XRD, and AFM images.

TiO2 thin films with the substitution of oxygen with nitrogen were deposited on silicon substrate by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) using Ti(OCH(CH3)2)4 (titanium tetraisopropoxide, TTIP) and N2O as source materials. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicated that the crystal structure of the deposited thin films was anatase TiO2 with only (101) plane observed at the deposition temperatures of 36$0^{\circ}C$ and 38$0^{\circ}C$, and with (101) and (200) plane at above 40$0^{\circ}C$. Raman spectroscopic results indicated that the crystal structure was anatase TiO2 in accordance with the XRD results without any rutile, fcc TiN, or hcp TiN structure. No fundamental difference was observed with temperature increase, but the peak intensity at 194.5 cm-1 increased with strong intensity at 143.0 cm-1 for all samples. The crystalline size of the films varied from 49.2 nm to 63.9 nm with increasing temperature as determined by slow-scan XRD experiments. The refractive index of the films increased from 2.40 to 2.55 as temperature increased. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study showed only Ti 2s, Ti 2p, C 1s, O 1s and O 2s peaks at the surface of the film. The composition of the surface was estimated to be TiO1.98 from the quatitative analysis. In the bulk of the film Ti 2s, Ti 2p, O 1s, O 2s, N 1s and N 2s were detected, and Ti-N bonding was observed due to the substitution of oxygen with nitrogen. A satellite structure was observed in the Ti 2p due to the Ti-N bonding, and the composition of titanium nitride was determined to be about TiN1.0 from the position of the binding energy of Ti-N 2p3/2 and the quatitative analysis. The spectrum of Ti 2p energy level could be the sum of a 4, 5, or 6 Gaussian curve reconstruction, and the case of the sum of the 6 Gaussian curve reconstruction was physically most meaningful. From the results of Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), it was known that the composition was not varied significantly throughout the whole thickness of the film, and silicon oxide was not observed at the interface between the film and the substrate. The composition of the film was possible (TiO2)1-x.(TiN)x or TiO2-2xNx and in this experimental condition x was found to be about 0.21-0.16.

The silicon nitride ($SiN_x$) film for surface passivation and anti-reflection coating of crystalline silicon solar cell is very important and it is generally deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). PECVD can be divided into low and high frequency method. In this paper, the $SiN_x$ film deposited by low and high frequency PECVD method was studied. First, to optimize the $SiN_x$ film deposited by low frequency PECVD method, the refractive index was measured by varying the process conditions like $SiH_4$, $NH_3$, $N_2$ gas rate, and RF power. When $SiH_4$ gas rate was increased and $NH_3$ gas rate was decreased, the refractive index was increased. The refractive index was also increased with RF power decline. Second, to compare the characteristics of the low and high frequency PECVD $SiN_x$ film, the refractive index was measured by varying $NH_3/SiH_4$ gas ratio and RF power and the minority carrier lifetime of before and after high temperature treatment process was also measured. The refractive index of both low and high frequency PECVD $SiN_x$ film was decreased with increase in $NH_3/SiH_4$ gas ratio and RF power. After high temperature treatment process, the minority carrier lifetime of both low and high frequency PECVD $SiN_x$ film was increased and increased degree was similar. The minority carrier lifetime of low frequency PECVD $SiN_x$ was increased from $11.03{\mu}m$ to $28.24{\mu}m$ and that of high frequency PECVD $SiN_x$ was increased from $11.60{\mu}m$ to $27.10{\mu}m$.
