The decomposition of tetrafluoromethane has been investigated with the reaction mechanism proposed for freely propagating $CH_4/CF_4/O_2/N_2$ premixed flames on the oxygen enrichment. The factors affecting on the removal efficiency of tetrafluoromethane were analyzed. The increase in flame temperature due to oxygen enrichment has a great influence on the removal efficiency of tetrafluoromethane. At the same oxygen enrichment condition, the removal efficiency in the rich flame is higher than one in the lean flame. The increase of the F/H ratio leads to decrease the flame temperature and the removal efficiency of tetrafluoromethan is decreased at the flame temperature of 2600 K or lower, The elementary reactions that dominate the consumption of tetrafluoromethane are (R1) $CF_4+M=CF_3+F+M$ and (R2) $CF_4+H=CF_3+HF$. (R1) has the greatest effect on the consumption of tetrafluoromethane under the oxygen enhanced flames.

It is recognized that tetrafluoromethane ($CF_4$) has a great influence on global warming. The $CF_4$ is known to have a large impact on climate change due to its large global warming index. In this study, a waterjet plasma scrubber (WPS) was designed and manufactured for the $CF_4$ decomposition. The WPS is a novel technology which is combined a gliding arc plasma and water injection at the center of the plasma discharge. This can give an innovative way for $CF_4$ decomposition by achieving larger plasma columnand generating OH radicals. A performance analysis was achieved for the design factors such as waterjet flow rate, total gas flow rate, consumption electric power, and electrode gap. The highest $CF_4$ decomposition and energy efficiencies were 64.8% and 6.43 g/kWh, respectively; Optimal operating conditions were 20 mL/min of waterjet flow rate, 200 L/min total gas flow rate, 5.3 kW consumption electric power, and 4.4 mm electrode gap. As for the 2 stage reactor of the WPS, the $CF_4$ decomposition efficiency improved as the 85.3% while the energy efficiency decreased as the 5.57 g/kWh.

Plasma Source Ion Implantation (PSII) technique was used for the hydrophilization or hydrophobization of polymer surfaces. Polymers were modified with different plasma gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, argon, and tetrafluoromethane, and for varying lengths of treatment time. Plasma ion treatment of oxygen, nitrogen, argon and their mixtures increased significantly the hydrophilic properties of polymer surfaces. More hydrophobic surfaces of polymers were formed after the treatment with tetrafluoromethane. A study of plasma source ion implanted polymers was performed using contact angle measurements and Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). The TOF-SIMS spectra and depth profile were used to obtain the information about the treated surfaces of polymers. The permanence of this technique could be evaluated with respect to ageing time. The surfaces treated with PSII gave better stability than other surface modification methods.

사불화탄소($CF_4$)는 반도체 제조공정에서 에칭과 반응기 세척에서 사용되어온 가스이다. $CF_4$는 적외선을 강하게 흡수하고 대기 중 잔류시간이 길어서 지구온난화에 영향을 미치기 때문에 고효율의 분해가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 플라즈마와 워터젯을 결합하여 워터젯 글라이딩 아크 플라즈마 시스템을 개발하고, 이를 이용하여 $CF_4$를 고효율로 분해할 수 있도록 방전영역을 증가시키고 다량의 OH 라디칼을 생성시킬 수 있는 최적의 조업 조건을 결정하였다. 공정 실험 변수로는 워터젯 주입량, $CF_4$ 초기 농도, 전체 가스량과 주입에너지량(SEI : Specific energy input)을 선정하였다. 변수실험을 통하여 워터젯 주입량이 25.5 mL/min, $CF_4$ 초기 농도 2.2%, 전체 가스량 9.2 L/min, SEI 7.2 kJ/L일 때 $CF_4$ 분해율은 최고 97%까지 도달하였다.

CO₂는 지구온난화의 원인 중 하나로 알려져 있으며 포집을 위하여 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 표면특성 변화를 통하여 활성탄소의 CO₂ 흡착 능력을 향상시키고자 사불화탄소 플라즈마 반응을 진행하였으며, 반응 시간에 따른 흡착 특성을 고찰하였다. 플라즈마 반응 이후 활성탄소의 미세기공 부피가 모두 늘어났으며, 최대 1.03 cm³/g까지 증가하였다. 또한 반응 시간의 증가에 따라 활성탄소 표면에 존재하는 불소 함량이 0.88%까지 증가하였다. 결과적으로 본 실험을 통하여 활성탄소의 기공 특성과 표면 작용기를 동시에 조절할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 표면처리된 활성탄소의 CO₂ 흡착량은 미처리 활성탄소에 비하여 최대 7.44%까지 향상되어, 반응 시간이 60 s일 때 3.90 mmol/g으로 가장 우수한 성능을 보였다. 이는 활성탄소 표면에 도입된 불소 작용기와 식각 효과에 의하여 증가된 미세기공 부피에 의한 시너지 효과 때문으로 판단된다. 또한, CO₂ 흡착량이 3.67 mmol/g보다 낮은 구간에서는 미세기공의 부피가 CO₂ 흡착에 더 큰 영향을 미쳤으며, 그보다 높은 구간에서는 도입된 불소의 함량이 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다.

사불화탄소($CF_4$)는 반도체 제조공정에서 에칭과 화학기상증착(CVD)에서 사용되어온 가스이다. $CF_4$는 적외선을 강하게 흡수하고 대기 중 잔류시간이 길어서 지구온난화에 영향을 미치기 때문에 고효율의 분해가 필요하다. 또한 불화수소를 포함한 폐수는 지하수 오염의 원인이 된다. 과도한 불소를 포함한 물을 장기간 섭취는 치아와 뼈에 문제를 야기한다. 워터젯 플라즈마를 이용하여 $CF_4$를 분해 후 생성되는 부산물 중 HF에 의하여 폐수가 생성된다. 이 폐수를 알루미늄 전극을 사용한 전해응집을 이용하여 폐수 중 HF를 제거 할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하였다. 실험 변수로는 초기 pH 변화, 반응 시간 변화, 주입유량 변화, 전류 밀도 변화를 실험하였다. 변수 실험을 통하여 초기 pH는 3.5, 반응 시간은 10 min, 주입 유량은 10 mL/min, 전류 밀도는 $159A/m^2$일 때 HF 제거율은 최고 85%까지 도달하였다.

Perfluorocompounds ($PFC_s$), such as tetrafluoromethane ($CF_4$) and hexafluoroethane ($C_2F_6$), have been widely used as plasma etching and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) gases for semiconductor manufacturing processes. Since these $PFC_s$ are known to cause a greenhouse effect intensively, there has been a growing interest in reducing $PFC_s$ emissions. Among various $CF_4$ decomposing techniques, a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) is considered as one of a promising candidate because it has been successfully used for generating ozone ($O_3$) and decomposing nitrogen oxide (NO). Firstly, optimal concentration of oxygen for $CF_4$ decomposition was found to figure out how many primary and secondary reactions are associated with DBD process. Secondary, to find effective discharge method for $CF_4$ decomposition, a streamer and a glow mode in DBD are experimentally compared, which includes (i) coaxialcylinder DBD, (ii) DBD reactor packed with glass beads. and (iii) a glow mode operation with a helium gas. The test results showed that optimal concentration of oxygen was ranged 500 ppm~1% for treating 500 ppm of $CF_4$ and helium glow discharge was the most efficient one to decompose $CF_4$.

$CF_4$ removal characteristics were investigated using an elongated arc reactor. The advantage of the elongated arc reactor includes direct use of treated gas as plasma operating gas and the enhancement of the removal reaction by using a thermo-chemistry and a plasma induced chemistry at the same time. Geometrical configurations, such as the length of the reactor and the shape of a throat, were tested to get an optimized removal efficiency with low power consumption. As results, over 95% of $CF_4$ removal was obtained with 300 lpm of total flowrate for various $CF_4$ concentration (0.1~1%). Corresponding specific energy density (SED), which means required electrical energy to treat the unit volume of treated gas, is about 3.5 kJ/L, The present technique can be applied to real applications by satisfying three major concerns, those are the high flowrate of treated gas, high removal efficiency (> 95%), and low power consumption (< 10 kJ/L).

Tetrafluoromethane($CF_4$) have been widely used as etching and chemical vapor deposition gases for semiconductor manufacturing processes. $CF_4$ decomposition efficiency using microwave system was carried out as a function of the microwave power, the reaction temperature, and the quantity of $Al_2O_3$ addition. High reaction temperature and addition of $Al_2O_3$ increased the $CF_4$ removal efficiencies and the $CO_2/CF_4$ ratio. When the SA30 (SiC+30wt%$Al_2O_3$) and SA50 (SiC+50wt%$Al_2O_3$) were used, complete $CF_4$ removal was achieved at $1000^{\circ}C$. The $CF_4$ was reacted with $Al_2O_3$ and by-products such as $CO_2/CF_4$ and $AlF_3$ were produced. Significant amount of by-product such as $AlF_3$ was identified by X-ray powder diffraction analysis. It also showed that the ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ was transformed to ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ after microwave thermal reaction.
