In this study, we have investigated indium tin zinc oxide (ITZO) as an active channel for non-volatile memory (NVM) devices. The electrical and memory characteristics of NVM devices using multi-stack gate insulator SiO2/SiOx/SiOxNy (OOxOy) with Si-rich SiOx for charge storage layer were also reported. The transmittance of ITZO films reached over 85%. Besides, ITZO-based NVM devices showed good electrical properties such as high field effect mobility of 25.8 cm2/V.s, low threshold voltage of 0.75 V, low subthreshold slope of 0.23 V/dec and high on-off current ratio of $1.25{\times}107$. The transmission Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy of SiOx charge storage layer with the richest silicon content showed an assignment at peaks around 2000-2300 cm-1. It indicates that many silicon phases and defect sources exist in the matrix of the SiOx films. In addition, the characteristics of NVM device showed a retention exceeding 97% of threshold voltage shift after 104 s and greater than 94% after 10 years with low operating voltage of +11 V at only 1 ms programming duration time. Therefore, the NVM fabricated by high transparent ITZO active layer and OOxOy memory stack has been applied for the flexible memory system.

이중 에피층 구조를 가지는 SOI(Silicon-On-Insulator) LIGBT(Lateral Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor)의 에피층 두께 변화에 따른 항복전압 특성을 분석하였다. 제안된 소자는 전하보상효과를 얻기 위해 n/p-epi의 이중 에피층 구조를 사용하였으며, 에피층 전체에 걸쳐서 전류가 흐를 수 있도록 하기 위해 trenched anode구조를 채택하였다. 본 논문에서는 n/p-epi층의 농도를 고정시킨 후 각각의 epi층의 두께를 변화시켜가며 simulation을 수행하였을 때 항복전압의 변화 및 표면과 epi층에서의 전계분포변화를 분석하였다.

This paper presents a novel statistical characterization for accurate timing analysis in Partially-Depleted Silicon-On-Insulator (PD-SOI) circuits in BSIMSOI3.2 100nm technology. The proposed timing estimate algorithm is implemented in Matlab, Hspice, and C, and it is applied to ISCAS85 benchmarks. The results show that the error is within 5% compared with Monte Carlo simulation results.

In this paper, $Ar^+$ ion laser etching process of single/poly crystalline silicon with $CCl_{2}F_{2}$ gas is studied for MEMS applications. To investigate the effects of process parameters, laser power, gas pressure, scanning speed were varied and multiple scanning was carried out to obtain high aspect ratio. In addition, scanning width was varied to observe the trench profile etched in repeating scanning cycle. From the etching of $2.6{\mu}m$ thick polycrystalline Si deposited on insulator, trench with flat bottom and vertical side wall was obtained and it is possible to apply this results for MEMS applications.

In this paper, we fabricated drag force type and pressure difference type gas flow sensor with dry etching technology which used Deep RIE(reactive ion etching) and etching stop technology which used SOI(silicon-on-insulator). we fabricated four kinds of sensor, which are cantilever, paddle type, diaphragm, and diaphragm with orifice type. Both cantilever and paddle type flow sensors have similar sensitivity as 0.03mV/V kPa. Sensitivity of the fabricated diaphragm and diaphragm with orifice type sensor were relatively high as about 3.5mV/V kPa, 1.5mV/V kPa respectively.

기존의 웨이퍼 박막속에 절연박막이 삽입된 SOI(Silicon On Insulator) 웨이퍼 구조와 관련한 반도체 기판 재료가 커다른 관심을 끌어 왔으나, SOI 평가기술은 아직까지 체계적으로 확립된 것이 없으며, DLTS(Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy) 등을 이용한 전기적 평가는 거의 이루어지지 않은 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 직접접합된 웨이퍼를 약 10um내외의 활성화층을 형성시킨 6인치 P-형 SOI 웨이퍼를 제작하여 DLTS로 측정, 평가를 하였고, DLTS 측정후 관찰될 수 있는 에어지 트랩(Energy Trap)과 후속 열처리에서의 트랩의 변화등을 관찰하여, 후속 열처리조건에 따른 접합된 SOI 웨이퍼 계면의 안정화된 조건을 확보하였다.

This paper deals with finite element analyses of residual stresses causing popping up which are induced in micromachining processes of a microaccelerometer sensors. The paddle of the micro accelerometer sensor is designed symmetric with respect to the direction of the beam. After heating the tunnel gap up to 100 degree and get it through the cooling process and the additional beam up to 80 degree and get it through the cooling process. We learn the thermal internal stresses of each shape and compare the results with each other, after heating the tunnel gap up to 400 degree during the Pt deposition process. Finally we find the optimal shape which is able to minimize the internal stresses of microaccelerometer sensor. We want to seek after the real cause of this pop up phenomenon and diminish this by change manufacturing processes of microaccelerometer sensor by electrostatic force.

The breakdown voltage in fully depleted SOI N-MOSFET’s have been studied over a wide range of film thicknesses, channel doping, and channel lengths. An asynmmetric Source/Drain SOI technology is proposed, which having the advantages of Normal LDD SOI(Silicon-On-Insulator) for breakdown voltage and gives a high drivability of LDD SOI without sacrificings hot carrier immunity The two-dimensional simulations have been used to investigate the breakdown behavior in these device. It is found that the breakdown voltage(BVds) is almost same with high current drivability as that in Normal LDD SOI device structure.

The prominent advantages of Dual Material Surrounding Gate (DMSG) MOSFETs are higher speed, higher current drive, lower power consumption, enhanced short channel immunity and increased packing density, thus promising new opportunities for scaling and advanced design. In this Paper, we present Transconductance-to-drain current ratio and electric field distribution model for dual material surrounding gate (DMSGTs) MOSFETs. Transconductance-to-drain current ratio is a better criterion to access the performance of a device than the transconductance. This proposed model offers the basic designing guidance for dual material surrounding gate MOSFETs.

The laser annealing effects on the TEOS (Tetra-Ethyl-Ortho-Silicate) oxide of MOS (Al/TEOS/n+ Silicon) structures was investigated with different initial oxide conditions, such as breakdown field. The breakdown field increased up to the 170 $mJ/cm^2$ with increasing laser energy density and decreased at 220 $mJ/cm^2$. It is considered that the increase of breakdown field is originated from the restore of strains which exist mainly at the metal/oxide interface.
