Effective methods for monitoring the quality of polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) films are discussed. Raman spectroscopy is typically used to determine crystallinity of poly-Si, but this method has limitations for data gathering on large substrates for mass production of poly-Si TFT backplanes. Spectroscopic ellipsometry is proposed as an alternative for fast and simple estimation of poly-Si quality on large substrates. By using both ellipsometry and Raman spectroscopy, it is possible to determine whether the quality and uniformity of the poly-Si films meet the criteria required for mass production of TFT backplanes for AMOLED panels.

In this studying, we investigated the basic properties of N-doped plasma polymer. The N-doped ethylcyclohexane plasma polymer thin films were deposited by radio frequency (13.56 MHz) plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method. Ethylcyclohexenewas used as organic precursor (carbon source) with hydrogen gas as the precursor bubbler gas. Additionally, ammonia gas [NH3] was used as nitrogen dopant. The as-grown polymerized thin films were analyzed using ellipsometry, Fourier-transform infrared [FT-IR] spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, FE-SEM, and water contact angle measurement. The ellipsometry results showed the refractive index change of the N-doped ethylcyclohexene plasma polymer film. The FT-IR spectrashowed that the N-doped ethylcyclohexene plasma polymer films were completely fragmented and polymerized from ethylcyclohexane.

화학기상증착 방법에 의한 다결정 다이아몬드 박막성장을 위한 공정가운데 가장 많이 사용되는 기법중의 하나가 바로 플라즈마에 의한 방법이다. 특히 플라즈마 화학기상증착(Plasma-Enhanced CVD)기술에 의한 다이아몬드 박막응용은 그 공정에 대한 세부 조정을 통하여 더욱 향상시킬 수 있다. 다이아몬드 박막증착의 경우 중요 변수들은 다이아몬드 필름이 증착되는 기판(substrate)의 온도, $CH_4/H_2$가스비율, 전체가스 압력 및 가스 excitation에너지 등이다. 분광 ellipsometry는 다이아몬드 필름 증착과 관련된 극단적인 환경에서도 물리적인 접촉이나 만들어지는 샘플의 손상없이도 필름자체의 여러 성질뿐만 아니라 기초 샘플의 온도까지도 결정할 수 있는 좋은 방법이다. 이러한 장점들을 이용하여 양질의 다이아몬드 박막을 성장시키기 위한 조건과 그에 따른 박막 특성을 얻기 위하여 분광 ellipsomerry의 사용과 해석이 소개된다. 그리고, 분광 ellipsometry를 이용, 플라즈마 화학기상증착 기술에 의하여 성장되는 다이아몬드 박막으로부터 나타나는 중요 변수들이 결정될 것이며 이러한 변수들은 필름의 두께, 필름에 포함되는 void 및 비다이아몬드의 체적비와, 그들의 시간에 따른 변화등을 포함한다. 그리고 샘플이 원하는 두께까지 성장된 후에 라만 분광기로 측정되어 다이아몬드 성분을 확인한다.

FTES/$O_2$-PECVD 방법에 의하여 증착된 SiOF 박막의 특성을 FT-IR, SPS, 그리고 ellipsometry로 분석하였다. 유전상수, breakdown field와 누설전류 밀도는 MIS(Au/SiOF/p-Si) 구조로 형성하여 C-V와 I-V특성곡선으로부터 측정하였다. SiOF박막의 step-coverage는 SEM 단면사진으로 조사하였다. FTES와 $O_2$의 유량을 각각 300sccm으로 반응로에 주입하였을 때 양질의 SiOF 박막이 형성되었다. 형성된 박막의 유전상수는 3.1로서 다른 산화막보다 더 낮은 값으로 나타났다. breakdown field와 누설전류밀도는 약 10MV/cm와 $8{\times}10^{9}A/\textrm{cm}^2$로 측정되었다. $0.3{\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ 금속 패턴에 $2500{\AA}$의 두께로 증착된 SiOF 박막은 전극간에 void가 없이 우수한 덮힘을 보였다.

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (${\alpha}$-Si:H) layers deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) are investigated for use in silicon hetero-junction solar cells employing n-type crystalline silicon (c-Si) substrates. The optical and structural properties of silicon hetero-junction devices have been characterized using spectroscopy ellipsometry and high resolution cross-sectional transmission electron micrograph (HRTEM). In addition, the effective carrier lifetime is measured by the quasi-steady-state photocoductance (QSSPC) method. We have studied on the correlation between the order of ${\alpha}$-Si:H and the passivation quality at the interface of ${\alpha}$-Si:H/c-Si. Base on the result, we have fabricated a silicon hetero-junction solar cell incorporating the ${\alpha}$-Si:H passivation layer with on open circuit voltage ($V_{oc}$) of 637 mV.

We fabricated a new type of hybrid film using molecular layer deposition (MLD). The MLD is a gas phase process analogous to atomic layer deposition (ALD) and also relies on a saturated surface reaction sequentially which results in the formation of a monolayer in each sequence. In the MLD process, polydiacetylene (PDA) layers were grown by repeated sequential surface reactions of titanium tetrachloride and 2,4-hexadiyne-1,6-diol with ultraviolet (UV) polymerization under a substrate temperature of $100^{\circ}C$. Ellipsometry analysis showed a self-limiting surface reaction process and linear growth of the hybrid films. Polymerization of the hybrid films was confirmed by infrared (IR) spectroscopy and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Composition of the films was confirmed by IR spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron (XP) spectroscopy. The titanium oxide cross-linked polydiacetylene (TiOPDA) hybrid films exhibited good thermal and mechanical stabilities.

A polymeric film of a biodegradable poly(1,5-dioxepan-2-one) (PDXO) was formed on a gold surface by a combination of the formation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) presenting hydroxyl groups and the surface-initiated, ring-opening polymerization (SI-ROP) of 1,5-dioxepan-2-one (DXO). The SI-ROP of DXO was achieved by heating a mixture of $Sn(Oct)_2$, DXO, and the SAM-coated substrate in anhydrous toluene at $55^{\circ}C$. The resulting PDXO film was quite uniform. The PDXO film was characterized by polarized infrared external reflectance spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry, atomic force microscopy, ellipsometry, and contact angle goniometry.

In this study, we investigated the basic properties of N-doped ethylcyclohexene plasma polymer thin films that deposited by radio frequency (13.56 MHz) plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method with controlled ammonia flow rate. Ethylcyclohexene was used as organic precursor with hydrogen gas as the precursor bubbler gas. Additionally, ammonia ($NH_3$) gas was used as nitrogen dopant. The as-grown polymerized thin films were analyzed using ellipsometry, Fourier-transform infrared [FT-IR] spectroscopy, UV-Visible spectroscopy, and water contact angle measurement. We found that with increasing plasma power, film thickness is gradually increased while optical transmittance is drastically decreased. However, under the same plasma condition, water contact angle is decreased with increasing $NH_3$ flow rate. The FT-IR spectra showed that the N-doped ethylcyclohexene plasma polymer films were completely fragmented and polymerized from ethylcyclohexane.

Zirconium oxynitride films were obtained by r.f. reactive magnetron sputtering of a zirconium target with nitrogen flow rate ranging from 0 to 60 sccm. The phases present in the films were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Measurements of the oxidation state $ZrON_x$ films were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). Thickness of these samples was estimated by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). We found that the surface morphology of $ZrON_x$ films measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM) was also depended on the nitrogen gas flow.

In this studying, we investigated the basic properties of N-doped plasma polymer. The N-doped plasma polymer thin films were deposited by radio frequency (13.56 MHz) plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method. Various carbon-source were used as organic precursor with hydrogen gas as the precursor bubbler gas. Additionally, ammonia gas [NH3] was used as nitrogen dopant. The as-grown polymerized thin films were analyzed using cyclic voltammetry, ellipsometry, Fourier-transform infrared [FT-IR] spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, FE-SEM, and water contact angle measurement. Electronic property of N-doped plasma thin film is changed as flow rate of the NH3 gas.
