  • 전자 기기의 소형화, 집적화 및 박형화에 따라 인쇄회로기판 제조 시 미세한 회로 패턴이 요구되고 있다. 기존의 인쇄회로기판은 dry film resist를 이용한 photolithography 법을 적용하여 주로 제조하지만, 미세 회로 패턴 구현을 위해서는 정밀한 마스크 설계 및 고가의 노광장비 등이 필요하다는 한계점이 있다. 이에 따라서 최근에는 dry film resist를 대체하여 미세 회로 패턴 형성에 유리한 광경화형 잉크를 직접인쇄 공정을 통해 인쇄회로기판의 회로 패턴을 형성하는 연구들이 관심받고 있다. 광경화형 잉크를 통한 회로 패턴 형성을 위해서는 동박과의 밀착성, 패턴 형성 과정에서의 에칭 저항성, 박리 특성의 제어가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 광개시제 종류 및 함량이 다른 여러 광경화형 잉크를 제조하고 이들의 광경화 거동을 분석하였다. 또한, 광경화형 에칭 레지스트 잉크로의 적용성 평가를 위해 에칭 저항성, 박리성, 밀착성 등을 분석하였다.

  • E-beam 장비로 ZnS:Mn/Zns:Tb 2층 구조의 TFEL 소자를 제작하여 전기, 광학적 특성을 조사하였다. ITO 투명전극과 ATO 절연체가 증착된 유리기판(corning 7059 glass) 위에 E-beam 장비를 이용하여 ZnS:Mn, ZnS:Tb 형광체를 각각 3000 A로 증착하여 총 두께 6000 Å 갖도록 제작하였다. ZnS:Mn/ZnS:Tb TFEL 소자의 스펙트럼은 Mn/sup 2+/ 이온과 Tb/sup 3+/ 이온의 고유한 발광 스펙트럼을 모두 포함하여 540㎚에서 640㎚에 이르는 매우 넓은 범위의 발광 스펙트럼을 나타내었다. 휘도는 인가전압의 크기가 112V에서부터 급격히 증가하여 155 V에서 포화 휘도 1025 Cd/㎡를 나타내었고 최대 전압 185 V에서의 휘도는 2080 Cd/㎡이었다. Capacitance-voltage(C-V) 및 transferred charge-phosphor voltage(Q/sub t/-V/sub p/) 특성으로부터 형광층 capacitance (C/sub p/)와 절연층 capacitance (C/sub i/)가 각각 13.5 nF/㎠, 60 nF/㎠됨을 알 수 있었고, 인가전압의 최대치를 155 V에서 185 V로 증가시킬수록 TFEL 소자의 문턱전압(V/sub thl/)이 126 V에서 93 V로 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 이것은 인가전압을 증가시킬수록 polarization charge가 증가되고 polarization charge에 의해 형성된 형광체 내부전압이 증가되었기에 문턱전압이 감소한 것이다. 또한 처음으로 문턱전압에 관한 수식을 제안하였으며 문턱전압의 이론치와 실험치가 일치하는 것을 확인하였다.

  • 실리콘(Si)에 비해 상대적으로 밴드 갭이 작고, 열전도도가 낮으며, 기존의 Si 반도체 공정 기술과 호환이 가능한 실리콘-게르마늄(SiGe) 합금은 트랜지스터, 광수신 소자, 태양전지, 열전 소자 등 다양한 전자 소자에서 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 SiGe 합금이 전자소자에 응용되는 원리 및 응용과 관련된 기술적인 논제들을 고찰한다. Si에 비해 밴드 갭이 작은 게르마늄(Ge)이 그 구성 원소인 SiGe 합금의 밴드 갭은 Si과 Ge의 분률과 상관없이 항상 Si의 밴드 갭 보다 작다. 이러한 SiGe의 작은 밴드 갭은 전류 이득의 손실 없이 베이스 두께를 감소시키는 것을 가능하게 하여 바이폴라 트랜지스터의 동작속도를 향상시킨다. 또한, Si이 흡수하지 못하는 장파장 대의 빛을 SiGe이 흡수하여 광전류를 생성하게 함으로써 태양전지의 변환효율을 증가시킨다. 질량이 서로 다른 Si 및 Ge 원소의 불규칙적인 분포에 의해 발생하는 포논 산란 효과 때문에 SiGe 합금은 순수한 Si 및 Ge과 비교할 때 낮은 열전도도를 갖는다. 낮은 열전도도 특성의 SiGe 합금은 전자 소자 구조 내에서의 열 손실을 억제하는데 효과가 있으므로 Si 반도체 공정 기반의 열전 소자의 구성 물질로서 활용이 기대된다.

  • Laser-based crystallization techniques are ideally-suited for forming high-quality crystalline Si films on active-matrix display backplanes, because the highly-localized energy deposition allows for transformation of the as-deposited a-Si without damaging high-temperature-intolerant glass and plastic substrates. However, certain significant and non-trivial attributes must be satisfied for a particular method and implementation to be considered manufacturing-worthy. The crystallization process step must yield a Si microstructure that permits fabrication of thin-film transistors with sufficient uniformity and performance for the intended application and, the realization and implementation of the method must meet specific requirements of viability, robustness and economy in order to be accepted in mass production environments. In recent years, Low Temperature Polycrystalline Silicon (LTPS) has demonstrated its advantages through successful implementation in the application spaces that include highly-integrated active-matrix liquid-crystal displays (AMLCDs), cost competitive AMLCDs, and most recently, active-matrix organic light-emitting diode displays (AMOLEDs). In the mobile display market segment, LTPS continues to gain market share, as consumers demand mobile devices with higher display performance, longer battery life and reduced form factor. LTPS-based mobile displays have clearly demonstrated significant advantages in this regard. While the benefits of LTPS for mobile phones are well recognized, other mobile electronic applications such as portable multimedia players, tablet computers, ultra-mobile personal computers and notebook computers also stand to benefit from the performance and potential cost advantages offered by LTPS. Recently, significant efforts have been made to enable robust and cost-effective LTPS backplane manufacturing for AMOLED displays. The majority of the technical focus has been placed on ensuring the formation of extremely uniform poly-Si films. Although current commercially available AMOLED displays are aimed primarily at mobile applications, it is expected that continued development of the technology will soon lead to larger display sizes. Since LTPS backplanes are essentially required for AMOLED displays, LTPS manufacturing technology must be ready to scale the high degree of uniformity beyond the small and medium displays sizes. It is imperative for the manufacturers of LTPS crystallization equipment to ensure that the widespread adoption of the technology is not hindered by limitations of performance, uniformity or display size. In our presentation, we plan to present the state of the art in light sources and beam delivery systems used in high-volume manufacturing laser crystallization equipment. We will show that excimer-laser-based crystallization technologies are currently meeting the stringent requirements of AMOLED display fabrication, and are well positioned to meet the future demands for manufacturing these displays as well.

  • Graphite with its advantages of high thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion coefficient, and low elasticity, has been widely used as a structural material for high temperature. However, graphite can easily react with oxygen at even low temperature as 40$0^{\circ}C$, resulting in CO2 formation. In order to apply the graphite to high temperature structural material, therefore, it is necessary to improve its oxidation resistive property. Silicon Carbide (SiC) is a semiconductor material for high-temperature, radiation-resistant, and high power/high frequency electronic devices due to its excellent properties. Conventional chemical vapor deposited SiC films has also been widely used as a coating materials for structural applications because of its outstanding properties such as high thermal conductivity, high microhardness, good chemical resistant for oxidation. Therefore, SiC with similar thermal expansion coefficient as graphite is recently considered to be a g행 candidate material for protective coating operating at high temperature, corrosive, and high-wear environments. Due to large lattice mismatch (~50%), however, it was very difficult to grow thick SiC layer on graphite surface. In theis study, we have deposited thick SiC thin films on graphite substrates at temperature range of 700-85$0^{\circ}C$ using single molecular precursors by both thermal MOCVD and PEMOCVD methods for oxidation protection wear and tribological coating . Two organosilicon compounds such as diethylmethylsilane (EDMS), (Et)2SiH(CH3), and hexamethyldisilane (HMDS),(CH3)Si-Si(CH3)3, were utilized as single source precursors, and hydrogen and Ar were used as a bubbler and carrier gas. Polycrystalline cubic SiC protective layers in [110] direction were successfully grown on graphite substrates at temperature as low as 80$0^{\circ}C$ from HMDS by PEMOCVD. In the case of thermal MOCVD, on the other hand, only amorphous SiC layers were obtained with either HMDS or DMS at 85$0^{\circ}C$. We compared the difference of crystal quality and physical properties of the PEMOCVD was highly effective process in improving the characteristics of the a SiC protective layers grown by thermal MOCVD and PEMOCVD method and confirmed that PEMOCVD was highly effective process in improving the characteristics of the SiC layer properties compared to those grown by thermal MOCVD. The as-grown samples were characterized in situ with OES and RGA and ex situ with XRD, XPS, and SEM. The mechanical and oxidation-resistant properties have been checked. The optimum SiC film was obtained at 85$0^{\circ}C$ and RF power of 200W. The maximum deposition rate and microhardness are 2$mu extrm{m}$/h and 4,336kg/mm2 Hv, respectively. The hardness was strongly influenced with the stoichiometry of SiC protective layers.
