Cu-Ni thin film strain gauges for diaphragm-type pressure sensors were developed. Thin films of Cu-Ni alloys of various compositions were deposited onto glass and stainless steel substrates by RF magnetron sputtering. The effects of composition substrate temperature Ar partial pressure and aging on the electrical properties of Cu-Ni film strain gauges in the thickness range 500~2000$\AA$ are discussed. The maximum resistivity(95.6 $\mu$$\Omega$cm) is obtained from 53wt%Cu-47wt%Ni films while the temperature coefficient of resistance(TCR) becomes minimum(25.6ppm/$^{\circ}C$). The gauge factor is about 1.9.

This paper presents the characteristics of Ta-N thin film strain gauges that are suitable for harsh environemts, which were deposited on thermally oxidized Si substrates by DC reactive magnetronsputtering in an argon-nitrogen atmosphere (Ar-$N_2$ (4 ~ 16 %)). These films were annealed for 1 hr in $2{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr in a vacuum furnace with temperatures that ranged from 500 - $1000^{\circ}C$. The optimized deposition and annealing conditions of the Ta-N thin film strain gauges were determined using 8 % $N_2$ gas flow ratio and annealing at $900^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr. Under optimum formation conditions, the Ta-N thin film strain gauges obtained a high electrical resistivity, ${\rho}\;=\;768.93\;{\mu}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, a low temperature coefficient of resistance, $TCR\;=\;-84\;ppm/^{\circ}C$ and a high temporal stability with a good longitudinal gauge factor, GF=4.12. The fabricated Ta-N thin film strain gauges are expected to be used inmicromachined pressure sensors and load cells that are operable under harsh environments.

A 12 ㎛ pixel-sized 360 × 240 microbolometer focal plane array (MBFPA) was fabricated using a complementary metaloxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible process. To release the MBFPA membrane, an amorphous carbon layer (ACL) processed at a low temperature (<400 ℃) was deposited as a sacrificial layer. The thermal time constant of the MBFPA was improved by using serpentine legs and controlling the thickness of the SiNx layers at 110, 130, and 150 nm on the membrane, with response times of 6.13, 6.28, and 7.48 msec, respectively. Boron-doped amorphous Si (a-Si), which exhibits a high-temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) and CMOS compatibility, was deposited on top of the membrane as an IR absorption layer to provide heat energy transformation. The structural stability of the thin SiNx membrane and serpentine legs was observed using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The fabrication yield was evaluated by measuring the resistance of a representative pixel in the array, which was in the range of 0.8-1.2 Mohm (as designed). The yields for SiNx thicknesses of SiNx at 110, 130, and 150 nm were 75, 86, and 86%, respectively.

Magnetron-sputtering법을 사용하여 기존에 연구하였던 CrAlN (Cr 7：Al 3)박막에 Si를 첨가하여 Si의 함량 변화에 따라 미세구조와 화학적 결합상태, 온도저항계수(TCR) 및 산화저항의 영향과 기계적특성 개선을 통한 multi-functional heater resistor layer로써의 가능성을 연구하였다. CrAlSiN 박막의 Si 함량에 변화에 따라 온도저항계수 변화를 확인하였으며 X-선 회절 분석(XRD) 패턴 분석결과 CrAlSiN 박막의 결정구조가 Bl-NaCl 구조를 가지고 있는 것을 확인하였으며 SEM과 AFM을 통한 표면 및 미세구조 분석결과 Si의 함량이 증가할수록 입자가 조밀해짐을 알 수 있었다. 최근 digital priting technology의 핵심 기술로 부각되고 있는 inkjet priting technology는 널리 태양전지뿐만 아니라 thin film process, lithography와 같은 반도체 공정 기술에 활용 할 수 있기 때문에 반도체 제조장비에도 사용되고 있으며, 현재 thermal inkjet 방식을 사용하고 있다. Inkjet printing technology는 전기 에너지를 잉크를 배출하기 위해 열에너지로 변환하는 thermal inkjet 방식을 사용하고 있는데, 이러한 thermal inkjet 방식은 기본적으로 전기저항이 필요하지만 electrical resistor layer는 잉크를 높은 온도에서 순간적으로 가열하기 때문에 부식이나 산화 등의 문제가 발생할 수 있어 이에 대한 보호층을 필요로 한다. 하지만, 고해상도, 고속 잉크젯 프린터, 대형 인쇄 등을 요구되고 있어 저 전력 중심의 잉크젯 프린터의 열효율을 방해하는 보호층 제거에 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 본 연구는 magnetron-sputtering을 사용하여 기존의 CrAlN 박막에 Si를 합성하여 anti-oxidation, corrosion resistance 그리고 low temperature coefficient of resistance 값을 갖는 multi-functional heater resistor layer로써 CrAlSiN 박막의 Si 함량에 따른 효과에 초점을 두었다. 본 실험은 CrAlN 박막에 Si 함량을 4~11 at%까지 첨가시켜 함량의 변화에 따른 특성변화를 확인하였다. 함량이 증가할수록 amorphous silicon nitride phase의 영향으로 박막의 roughness는 감소하였으며 XRD 분석결과 (111) peak의 Intensity가 감소함을 확인하였으며 SEM 관찰시 모든 박막이 columnar structure를 나타내었으며 Si함량이 증가할수록 입자가 치밀해짐을 보여주었다.Si함량이 증가할수록 CrAlN 박막에 비하여 면저항은 증가하였으며 TCR 측정결과 Si함량이 6.5 at%일 때 가장 안정한 TCR값을 나타내었다. Multi-functional heater resistor layer 역할을 하기 위해서, CrAlSiN 박막의 원소 분포, 표면 거칠기, 미세조직, 전기적 특성 등을 조사하였다. CrAlN 박막의 Si의 첨가는 크게 XRD 분석결과 주상 성장을 억제 할 수 있으며 SEM 분석을 통하여 Si 함량이 증가할수록 Si3N4 형성이 감소하며 입자크기가 작아짐을 확인하였다. 면저항의 경우 Si 함량이 증가함에 따라 높은 면저항을 나타내었으며 Si함량이 6.5 at%일 때 가장 낮은 TCR 값인 3120.53 ppm/K값을 보였다. 이 값은 상용되고 있는 heater resistor보다 높지만, CrAlSiN 박막이 더 우수한 기계적 특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 hybrid heater resistor로 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

YBCO thin films on $SiO_2$/Si substrate were fabricated by spin-coaing of an alkoxide-derived precursor and heat treatment. The structural and electrical properties of the YBCO films were investigated as functions of annealing temperature at $600{\sim}800^{\circ}C$. Although YBCO single phase was not synthesized, dense films of YBCO matrix phase and minor second phases have been successfully fabricated at the annealing temperatures of $650{\sim}800^{\circ}C$. Thickness and temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of YBCO thin films with annealing temperature of $750^{\circ}C$ were 0.31 ${\mu}m$ and $-2.92%/^{\circ}C$, respectively.

In thick film resistors, the characteristics of the frit and the reaction between glass frit and conductor material play an important role for their electrical properties. In this study, various glass frits in the system of $60RO{\cdot}20SiO_2$ $15B_2O_3{\cdot}5Al_2O_3$(RO=PbO, ZnO, CdO; mole%) were mixed with $RuO_2$ and coated on 96% alumina substrate. Only the glass frit containing PbO was reacted with $RuO_2$in$RuO_{2+}$-thick film resistor and produced the new crystalline phase of $Pb_2Ru_2O_{65}$. Their electrical resistivities strongly depend on the amount of $Pb_2Ru_2O_{65}$ crystalline phase obtained, which varied with firing temperature. The sheet resistivities of these resistors were varied from $10^3\; to\; 10^6\;{\Omega}/{\Box}$ depending on heat treatment, and the absolute value of TCR was decreased as the heat treatment temperature increaed. However, $RuO_2$ did not reacted with the glass frits containing ZnO nor CdO, and the resulting showed very high sheet resistivities.

An antenna-coupled bolometer-type terahertz sensor was designed, fabricated, evaluated, and utilized to obtain terahertz transmission images. The sensor consists of a thin film bowtie antenna that resonates accordingly in response to an incident terahertz beam, a heater that converts the applied current in the antenna into heat, and a microbolometer that converts the rise in temperature into a change in resistance. The device is fabricated by a bulk micromachining process on a 4-inch silicon wafer. The fabricated sensor chip has a size of $2{\times}2mm$ and an active area of $0.1{\times}0.1mm^2$. The temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of the bolometer film (VOx) is 2.0%, which is acceptable for bolometer applications. The output sensor signal is proportional to the power of the incident terahertz beam. Transmission images were obtained with a 2-axis scanning imaging system that contained the sensor. The small active area of the sensor will enable the development of highly sensitive focal plane array sensors in terahertz imaging cameras in the future.
