In this paper, we review studies attempting to triumph over the limitation of Si-based semiconductor technologies through a heterogeneous integration of high mobility compound semiconductors on a Si substrate, and the co-integration of electronic and/or optical devices. Many studies have been conducted on the heterogeneous integration of various materials to overcome the Si semiconductor performance and obtain multi-purpose functional devices. On the other hand, many research groups have invented device fusion technologies of electrical and optical devices on a Si substrate. They have co-integrated Si-based CMOS and InGaAs-based optical devices, and Ge-based electrical and optical devices. In addition, chip and wafer bonding techniques through TSV and TOV have been introduced for the co-integration of electrical and optical devices. Such intensive studies will continue to overcome the device-scaling limitation and short-channel effects of a MOS transistor that Si devices have faced using a heterogeneous integration of Si and a high mobility compound semiconductor on the same chip and/or wafer.

Electroplated Cu is a cost efficient metallization method in microelectronic packaging applications. Typically in 3-D chip staking technology, utilizing through silicon via (TSV), electroplated Cu metallization is inevitable for the throughput as well as reducing the cost of ownership (COO).To achieve a comparable film quality to sputtering or CVD, a pre-cleaning process as well as plating process is crucial. In this research, atmospheric plasma is employed to reduce the usage of chemicals, such as trichloroethylene (TCE) and sodium hydroxide (NaHO), by substituting the chemical assisted organic cleaning process with plasma surface treatment for Cu electroplating. By employing atmospheric plasma treatment, marginally acceptable electroplating and cleaning results are achieved without the use of hazardous chemicals. The experimental results show that the substitution of the chemical process with plasma treatment is plausible from an environmentally friendly aspect. In addition, plasma treatment on immersion Sn/Cu was also performed to find out the solderability of plasma treated Sn/Cu for practical industrial applications.

To those who spend most time within a room, comfortable indoor environment is a very critical element to job performance and health. The comfort technology, which is for enhancing comfort in human living, relates with various factors to ensure human activities efficient, comfortable, safe and satisfactory. Experiments were performed in environmental chamber. Experimental conditions were combinations from three temperatures of 18, 22 and 26C, and two relative humidity levels of 45 and 60%. Air-flow was controlled to 0.1m/s through the experiment. Four male and four female university students participated in the experiments. They had normal blood pressure and their body temperature was under $37^{\circ}C$. From the experiments for evaluating thermal sensation to the air-heating conditions, relationships among TSV, CSV, $SET^*$, PMV were analyzed. Results can be summarized as followings; Thermal neutrality $SET^*$ of man and female was $24.8^{\circ}C$. In air-heating condition, $SET^*$ values for thermal comfort zone were $23.0{\sim}26.5^{\circ}C$. These values were higher than the values from ASHRAE.

The purpose of this study is to analyze and characterize the correlation of the thermal comfort sensation with physiological responses for men in winter indoor environment. A number of experiments were conducted under twenty different environmental conditions with college male students. Clinical information on each participant was reported in terms of electrocardiogram (ECG), electroencephalogram (EEG) and self-centered evaluation. The comfort zone in winter is found, throughout the study, at Standard New Effective Temperature (SET$T^+$) of 25.2$^{\circ}C$, Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) between 0.27 and 0.62, and Thermal Sensation Vote (TSV) in the range of -0.76 and 0.36. The largest difference in skin temperature is measured at the calf area with respect to air temperature changes. Skin sensitivity to environment temperature is explained as calf, head, chest and abdomen in descending order. Change in heat rate is analyzed to be in parallel with that of SET$T^+$.

Three-dimensional (3D) memories using through-silicon vias (TSVs) will likely be the first commercial applications of 3D integrated circuit technology. A 3D memory yield can be enhanced by vertical redundancy sharing strategies. The methods used to select memory dies to form 3D memories have a great effect on the 3D memory yield. Since previous die-selection methods share redundancies only between neighboring memory dies, the opportunity to achieve significant yield enhancement is limited. In this paper, a novel die-selection method is proposed for multilayer 3D memories that shares redundancies among all of the memory dies by using additional TSVs. The proposed method uses three selection conditions to form a good multi-layer 3D memory. Furthermore, the proposed method considers memory fault characteristics, newly detected faults after bonding, and multiple memory blocks in each memory die. Simulation results show that the proposed method can significantly improve the multilayer 3D memory yield in a variety of situations. The TSV overhead for the proposed method is almost the same as that for the previous methods.

We have proposed and demonstrated a low numerical aperture technique to measure the depth of through silicon vias (TSVs) using white-light scanning interferometry. The high aspect ratio hole like TSV's was considered to be impossible to measure using conventional optical methods due to low visibility at the bottom of the hole. We assumed that the limitation of the measurement was caused by reflection attenuation in TSVs. A novel interference theory which takes the structural reflection attenuation into consideration was proposed and simulated. As a result, we figured out that the low visibility in the interference signal was caused by the unbalanced light intensity between the object and the reference mirror. Unbalanced light can be balanced using an aperture at the illumination optics. As a result of simulation and experiment, we figured out that the interference signal can be enhanced using the proposed technique. With the proposed optics, the depth of TSVs having an aspect ratio of 11.2 was measured in 5 seconds. The proposed method is expected to be an alternative method for 3-D inspection of TSVs.
