  • Based on experimental and theoretical analyses, we suggested a new possibility that the CVD diamond films grow not by the atomic unit but by the charged clusters containing a few hundreds of carbon atoms, which form spontaneously in the gas phase [J. Crysta] Growth 62 (1996) 55]. These hypothetical negatively-charged clusters were experimentally confirmed under a typical hot-filament diamond CVD process. Thin film growth by charged clusters or gas phase colloids of a few nanometers was also confirmed in Si and ZrO₂ CVD and appears to be general in many other CVD processes. Many puzzling phenomena in the CVD process such as selective deposition and nanowire growth could be explained by the deposition behavior of charged clusters. Charged clusters were shown to generate and contribute at least partially to the film deposition by thermal evaporation. Origin of charging at the relatively low temperature was explained by the surface ionization described by Saha-Langmuir equation. The hot surface with a high work function favors positive charging of clusters while that of a low work function favors negative charging.

  • Atomic layer deposition(ALD)을 이용하여 $Al_2O_3$ 박막을 형성하고 이에 대한 패시베이션 특성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. ALD로 증착된 $Al_2O_3$ 박막은 $400^{\circ}C$ 5분간 후속 열처리 공정 후에도 $Al_2O_3$ - 실리콘 계면 반응 없이 비정질 상태를 유지할 만큼 구조적으로 안정한 특성을 나타내었다. 후속 열처리 후 $Al_2O_3$ 박막의 패시베이션 특성이 향상되었으며, 이는 field effective 패시베이션과 화학적 패시베이션 효과가 동시에 상승에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다. $Al_2O_3$ 박막의 음고정 전하를 정량적으로 평가하기 위해서 후속 열처리 공정을 거친 $Al_2O_3$ 박막을 이용하여 metal-oxide-semiconductor(MOS) 소자를 제작하고 capacitance-voltage(C-V) 분석을 수행하였다. C-V 결과로부터 추출된 flatband voltage($V_{FB}$)와 equivalent oxide thickness(EOT)의 관계식을 통하여 $Al_2O_3$ 박막의 고정음전하는 $2.5{\times}10^{12}cm^{-2}$로 계산되었으며, 이는 본 연구에서 제시된 $Al_2O_3$ 박막 공정이 N-type 실리콘 태양전지의 패시베이션 공정에 응용 가능하다는 것을 의미한다.

  • 리튬금속전지(LMB)는 매우 큰 이론 용량을 갖지만 단락(short circuit), 수명 감소 등을 야기하는 덴드라이트(dendrite)가 형성되는 큰 문제점을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)에 graphene oxide (GO) nanosheet를 고르게 분산시킨 PDMS/GO 복합체를 합성하였고 이를 박막 형태로 코팅하여 덴드라이트의 형성을 물리적으로 억제할 수 있는 막의 효과를 이끌어내었다. PDMS의 경우, 그 자체로는 이온 전도체가 아니기 때문에 리튬 이온의 통로를 형성시켜 리튬 이온의 이동을 원활하게 하기 위하여 5wt% 불산(HF)으로 에칭하여 PDMS/GO 박막이 이온전도성을 가질 수 있도록 하였다. 주사전자현미경(scanning electron microscopy, SEM)을 통해 전면 및 단면을 관찰하여 PDMS/GO 박막의 형상을 확인하였다. 그리고 PDMS/GO 박막을 리튬금속전지에 적용하여 실시한 배터리 테스트 결과, 100번째 사이클까지 쿨롱 효율(columbic efficiency)이 평균 87.4%로 유지되었고, 박막이 코팅되지 않은 구리 전극보다 과전압이 감소되었음을 전압 구배(voltage profile)를 통해 확인하였다.

  • ($Ba_x$$Sr_{1-x}$)$TiO_3$ (x=0.9, 0.7, 0.5)박막을 졸-겔법으로 ITO-coated glass기판 위에 제조하였다. BST의 perov-skite상 생성온도는 $600^{\circ}C$ 이상이며 Sr함량이 증가할수록, $Ba^{2+}$ 이온보다 작은 $Sr^{2+}$ 이온에 의해 perovskite상들의 피크가 높은 회절 각도로 이동하였다. 그리고 온도가 증가할수록 결정립은 조대화 되었고, Sr 함량이 증가할수록 결정립은 미세화 되었다. BST(50/50)의 유전상수 값은 다른 두 조성보다 큰 값을 나타내고 유전손실 값은 더 낮았다. 1 kHz때의 BST(50/50)박막의 유전상수 및 유전손실 값은 각각 652와 0.042였다.

  • $La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_3$ (LSCO) electrode thin films with a resistivity of ~ 1,600 ${\mu}{\Omega}cm$ were grown on c-$Al_2O_3$ (0001) substrate. $ZnSnO_3$ (ZTO) thin films with different thicknesses were directly grown on LSCO/c-$Al_2O_3$ (0001) substrates at a substrate temperature that ranged from 550 to $750^{\circ}C$ using Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD). The secondary phase $Zn_2SnO_4$ occurred during the growth of ZTO films and it became more significant with further increasing substrate temperature. Polarization-electric-field (P-E) hysteresis characteristics, with a remnant polarization and coercive field of 0.05 ${\mu}C/cm^2$ and 48 kV/cm, respectively, were obtained in the ZTO film grown at $700^{\circ}C$ in 200 mTorr.

  • Cu thin film was deposited by a self-ion assisted beam source (SIAB) and the assessment of the Cu films was given. Some characteristics of the source and the experimental procedure are described at various conditions such as total power, ionization efficiency, and ion current vs. deposition rate. The dependence of crystalline structure, impurity concentration, and resistivity of the Cu films deposited by SIAB on acceleration voltage are discussed.

  • Polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin film transistors (TFT's) employing vertical amorphous silicon (a-Si) offsets have been fabricated without additional photolithography processes. The a-Si offset has been formed utilizing the poly-Si grain growth blocking effect by thin native oxide film during the excimer laser recrystallization of a-Si. The ON current degradation of the new device after 4 hour's electrical stress was reduced by 5 times compared with conventional poly-Si TFT's.

  • A stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for $ZnAl_2Se_4$ single-crystal thin films was prepared in a horizontal electric furnace. These $ZnAl_2Se_4$ polycrystals had a defect chalcopyrite structure, and its lattice constants were $a_0=5.5563{\AA}$ and $c_0=10.8897{\AA}$.To obtain a single-crystal thin film, mixed $ZnAl_2Se_4$ crystal was deposited on the thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by a hot wall epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and the substrate temperatures were $620^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$, respectively. The crystalline structure of the single-crystal thin film was investigated by using a double crystal X-ray rocking curve and X-ray diffraction ${\omega}-2{\theta}$ scans. The carrier density and mobility of the $ZnAl_2Se_4$ single-crystal thin film were $8.23{\times}10^{16}cm^{-3}$ and $287m^2/vs$ at 293 K, respectively. To identify the band gap energy, the optical absorption spectra of the $ZnAl_2Se_4$ single-crystal thin film was investigated in the temperature region of 10-293 K. The temperature dependence of the direct optical energy gap is well presented by Varshni's relation: $E_g(T)=E_g(0)-({\alpha}T^2/T+{\beta})$. The constants of Varshni's equation had the values of $E_g(0)=3.5269eV$, ${\alpha}=2.03{\times}10^{-3}eV/K$ and ${\beta}=501.9K$ for the $ZnAl_2Se_4$ single-crystal thin film. The crystal field and the spin-orbit splitting energies for the valence band of the $ZnAl_2Se_4$ were estimated to be 109.5 meV and 124.6 meV, respectively, by means of the photocurrent spectra and the Hopfield quasicubic model. These results indicate that splitting of the ${\Delta}so$ definitely exists in the ${\Gamma}_5$ states of the valence band of the $ZnAl_2Se_4/GaAs$ epilayer. The three photocurrent peaks observed at 10 K are ascribed to the $A_1$-, $B_1$-exciton for n = 1 and $C_{21}$-exciton peaks for n = 21.
