Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) arc grown on Ni catalysts employing an inductively-coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD) method. The structural and field-emissive properties of the CNTs grown are characterized in terms of the substrate-bias applied. Characterization using the various techniques, such as field-omission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Auger spectroscopy (AES), and Raman spectroscopy, shows that the structural properties of the CNTs, including their physical dimensions and crystal qualities, as well as the nature of vertical growth, are strongly dependent upon the application of substrate bias during CNT growth. It is for the first time observed that the provailing growth mechanism of CNTs, which is either due to tip-driven growth or based-on-catalyst growth, may be influenced by substrate biasing. It is also seen that negatively substrate-biasing would promote the vertical-alignment of the CNTs grown, compared to positively substrate-biasing. However, the CNTs grown under the positively-biased condition display a higher electron-emission capability than those grown under the negatively-biased condition or without any bias applied.

Multitarget bias cosputter deposition(MBCD)에 의해 저온($200^{\circ}C$)에서 NaCI(100)상에 정합$CoSi_2$를 성장시켰다. X-선회절과 투과전자현미경에 의해 증착온도와 기판 bias전압에 따른 각각 silicide의 상전이와 결정성을 관찰하였다. Metal induced crystallization(MIC) 과 self bias 효과에 의해 $200^{\circ}C$에서 기판전압을 인가하지 않은 경우에도 결정질 Si이 성장하였다. MIC현상을 이론 및 실험적으로 고찰하였다. 관찰된 상전이는 $Co_2Si \to CoSi \to Cosi_2$로서 유효생성열법칙에 의해 예측된 상전이와 일치하였다. 기판 bias전압 인가시 발생한 이온충돌에 의한 충돌연쇄혼합(collisional cascade mixing), 성장박막 표면의 in situ cleaning, 핵생성처(nucleation site)이 증가로 인하여 상전이, CoSi(111)우선방위, 결정성은 증착온도에 비해 기판bias전압에 더 큰 영향을 받았다. $200^{\circ}C$에서 기판 bias전압을 증가시킴에 따라 이온충돌에 의한 결정입성장이 관찰되었으며, 이를 이온충독파괴(ion bombardment dissociation)모델에 의해 해석하였다. $200^{\circ}C$에서의 기판 bias전압증가에 따른 결정성변화를 정량적으로 고찰하기 위해 Langmuir탐침을 이용하여 $E_{Ar},\; \alpha(V_s)$를 계산하였다.

Recently zinc oxide(ZnO) has emerged as one of the most promising transparent conducting films with a strong demand of low cost and high performance optoelectronic devices, ZnO film has many advantages such as high chemical and mechanical stabilities, and abundance in nature. In this paper, in order to obtain the excellent transparent conducting film with low resistivity and high optical transmittance for Plasma Display Pannel(PDP), aluminium doped zinc oxide films were deposited on Corning glass substrate by dc magnetron sputtering method. The effects of the discharge power and doping amounts of $Al_2$$O_3$ on the electrical and optical properties were investigated experimentally. Particularly in order to lower the electrical resistivity, positive and negative bias voltages were applied on the substrate, and the effect of bias voltage on the electrical properties of ZnO:Al thin film were also studied and discussed. Films with lowest resistivity of $4.3 \times 10 ^{-4} \Omega-cm$ and good transmittance of 91.46 % have been achieved for the films deposited at 1 mtorr, $400^{\circ}C$, 40 W, Al content of 2 wt% with a substrate bias of +30 V for about 800 nm in film thickness.

본 논문은 탄탈 박막의 증착시 음의 기판 바이어스에 의한 탄탈 박막내의 불순물 농도변화에 대해서 고찰하였다. 탄탈 박막은 실리콘 기판 위에 이온빔 증착장비를 이용하여 기판 바이어스를 걸지 않은 경우와 -125 V의 기판 바이어스를 건 상태에서 증착하였다. 탄탈 박막내의 불순물 농도를 관찰하기 위해서 이차이온 질량분석기(secondary ion mass spectrometry)를 이용하였다. 세슘 클러스터 이온에 의한 깊이분석에서, -125 V의 기판 바이어스를 걸어줌으로써 산소, 탄소, 그리고 실리콘 불순물의 농도가 기판 바이어스를 걸지 않은 경우에 비해 상당히 감소한 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 세슘 이온빔과 산소 이온빔을 이용한 전체 불순물의 농도분포에서도, 음의 기판 바이어스가 박막 증착시 각각의 불순물 농도에 영향을 준다는 결과를 얻었고 이에 대한 고찰을 하였다.

본 연구에서는 ZnO:Al 박막의 필름형 염료감응 태양전지의 투명전도막으로의 웅용 가능성을 연구하기 위하여 PET 기판 위에 r. f. 마그네트론 스퍼터링법으로 ZnO:Al 박막을 증착하였으며, ZnO:Al 박막의 전기적 그리고 광학적 특성의 향상을 위하여 기판 바이어스 전압을 인가하였다. 그 결과, 정(+)의 기판 바이어스 전압은 플라즈마 중의 전자를 기판의 스퍼터 원자에 충돌하게 함으로써 박막에 부가적인 에너지를 공급하게 되어 박막의 결정성장 및 전기적 특성을 향상시키고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 +30[V] 이상의 과도한 기판 바이어스 전압을 인가한 경우, 박막의 전기적 특성은 나빠졌으며, 특히 부(-)의 바이어스 전압을 인가한 경우 결정 성장이 나타나지 알아, 전기적 특성의 향상을 위한 기판 바이어스 전압의 효과가 매우 제한적으로 작용되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 +30(V)의 기판 바이어스 조건하에서 $1.8{\times}10^{-3}[{\Omega}-cm]$의 체적 저항율 및 87.77(%)의 광 투과율을 얻을 수 있었다.

Al doped Zinc Oxide(ZnO:Al) films, which is widely used as a transparent conductor in optoelectronic devices such as solar cell, liquid crystal display, plasma display panel, thermal heater, and other sensors, were prepared by using the capacitively coupled DC magnetron sputtering method. The influence of the substrate temperature, working gas pressure, discharge power and doping amounts of Al on the electrical, optical and morphological properties were investigated experimentally. The effect of bias voltage on the electrical properties of ZnO thin film were also studied. Films with lowest resistivity of $5.4{\times}10^{-4}\;{\Omega}-cm$ have been achieved in case of films deposited at 1mtorr, $400^{\circ}C$ with a substrate bias of +10V for 840nm in film thickness.

The back bias effect on the breakdown voltage of SOI $p^+$-n diode is investigated. The breakdown voltage of the SOI $p^+$-n diode increases with the applied back bias. When the cathode electrode is used as a back bias, it is necessary to put the dielectric material between the Si-substrate and the bottom cathode electrode.

Both negative and positive substrate bias effects on the structural properties and field-emission characteristics are investigated. carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are grown on Ni catalysts employing an inductively-coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD) method. Characterization using various techniques, such as field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Auger spectroscopy (AES), and Raman spectroscopy, shows that the physical dimension as well as the crystal quality of CNTs grown can be changed and controlled by the application of substrate bias during CNT growth. It is for the first time observed that the prevailing growth mechanism of CNTs, which is either due to tip-driven growth or based-on-catalyst growth, may be influenced by substrate biasing. It is also seen that negative biasing would be more effectively role in the vertical-alignment of CNTs compared to positive biasing. However, the CNTs grown under the positively bias condition display much better electron emission capabilities than those grown under negative bias or without bias. The reasons for all the measured data regarding the structural properties of CNTs are discussed to confirm the correlation with the observed field-emissive properties.

The effect of DC bias on the growth of nanocrystalline diamond films on silicon substrate by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition has been studied varying the substrate temperature (400, 500, 600, and $700^{\circ}C$), deposition time (0.5, 1, and 2h), and bias voltage (-50, -100, -150, and -200 V) at the microwave power of 1.2 kW, working pressure of 110 torr, and gas ratio of Ar/1%$CH_4$. In the case of low negative bias voltages (-50 and -100 V), the diamond particles were observed to grow to thin film slower than the case without bias. Applying the moderate DC bias is believed to induce the bombardment of energetic carbon and argon ions on the substrate to result in etching the surfaces of growing diamond particles or film. In the case of higher negative voltages (-150 and -200 V), the growth rate of diamond film increased with the increasing DC bias. Applying the higher DC bias increased the number of nucleation sites, and, subsequently, enhanced the film growth rate. Under the -150 V bias, the height (h) of diamond films exhibited an $h=k{\sqrt{t}}$ relationship with deposition time (t), where the growth rate constant (k) showed an Arrhenius relationship with the activation energy of 7.19 kcal/mol. The rate determining step is believed to be the surface diffusion of activated carbon species, but the more subtle theoretical treatment is required for the more precise interpretation.

It is identified that the diamond films grown o bias-treated (100) silicon showed different surface morphologies and film textures according to the initial applied dc bias voltage at the same growth condition. The highly oriented diamond film (HODF) was successfully grown on -200 V bias-treated silicon substrate in which the heteroepitaxial relation of $(100)_{dimond}//(100)_{si}\; and\; [110]_{diamond}//[110]_{si}$ was identified. On the contrary, the heteroepitaxial relation was considerably disturbed in the samples bias-voltage was a key factor in growing the highly oriented diamond film on (100) silicon substrate. Considering the experimental results, we proposed a new model about heteroepitaxial diamond growth on silicon, in which 9 diamond unit cell are matched with 4 silicon cells and the bond covalency of both atoms is satisfied via the intermediate layer at the interface as well.
