공정기술의 향상으로 DRAM(dynamic random acess memory)의 고집적화가 이루어지고 있으며, 각 개별소자 및 셀 영역의 점유면적의 감소가 요구되어지고 있다. 따라서 기존에 사용하던 NO (Si$_3$N$_4$/SiO$_2$)박막보다 유전율이 높은 고유전물질에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다.

In this study the thin films with the structure of Si+SiO$_2$+TiN are made by RF supttering method. TiN, which has small diffusion coefficient and low resistivity, is evaporated between SiO$_2$ and Al layers. It investigates the V-R characteristics depending on the thickness of SiO$_2$ which is used as insulation layer and researches its effects on voltage stability of thin film and varistor. These films show very small resistance valus in negative(-) voltage and large and large value in positive voltage band, and with the increase of voltage, resistance value is rapidly reduced and the satisfactory characteristic of varistor is shown at +1[V]. It is found that resistance value of TiN thin film is small and also TiN thin film has more current than the thin film which is not evaporated by TiN thin film. When Al electrode is evaporated of SiO$_2$ thin film, spiking occurs, but the spiking can be prevented with evaporation of TiN between SiO$_2$ and Al layers and this thin films in made easily because of its good attachment. With the increase of voltage, the resistance is changed into non-linear pattern and the bidirectional varistor characteristic is shown and then its theory can be verified by this experiment. Accordingly, when TiN is evaporated of Si Wafer(n-100), it obtains better voltage-resistance than thin film which is not evaporated and also when varistor character is used electrically to automatic control element such as elimination of flame, power distribution arrestor and constant voltage compensation, satisfactory reproducibilities are expected.

We investigated the dry etching characteristics of TiN in $TiN/Al_2O_3$ gate stack using a inductively coupled plasma system. TiN thin film is etched by BCl3/He plasma. The etching parameters are the gas mixing ratio, the RF power, the DC-bias voltages and process pressures. The highest etch rate is in $BCl_3/He$ (25%:75%) plasma. The selectivity of TiN thin film to $Al_2O_3$ is pretty similar with $BCl_3/He$ plasma. The chemical reactions of the etched TiN thin films are investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The intensities of the Ti 2p and the N 1s peaks are modified by $BCl_3$ plasma. Intensity and binding energy of Ti and N could be changed due to a chemical reaction on the surface of TiN thin films. Also we investigated that the non-volatile byproducts such as $TiCl_x$ formed by chemical reaction with Cl radicals on the surface of TiN thin films.

$(Pb,La)TiO_3$(PLT) thin films were prepared on Pt/SiO$_2$/Si substrates by the sol-gel method and investigated the crystalline and electrical properties according to La concentration and post-annealing temperatures. The PLT films annealed at above $600^{\circ}C$ were exhibited the typical perovskite structures regardless of La contents. When the $(Pb,La)TiO_3$(PT) films were doped with La concentration up to 10mol%(PLT-10), the degree of z-axis orientation was greatly decreased from 63% to 26%. From AES depth profiles for the PLT-10 samples, no remarkable inter-reaction between PLT film and lower Pt electrode was found. The remanent polarization$(2Pr,Pr_+-Pr_-)$ were increased from $4\muC\textrm{cm}^2 to 16\muC\textrm{cm}^2$ as the annealing temperature increased from $600^{\circ}C to 700^{\circ}C$. This result may be ascribed to the improvement of crystallinity by the high temperature post-annealing. The dielectric constant$({\varepsilon}r)$ and tangent loss(tan$\delta$) of the PLT-10 films annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ were about 193 and 0.02, respectively with the pyroelectric coefficient($\gamma$) of around $4.0nC/\textrm{cm}^2{\cdot}^{\circ}C at 30^{\circ}C$.

PZT thin film deposited by rf magnetron sputtering was annealed by rapid thermal process(RTP) in PbO ambient to prevent vaporing of Pb and interface reactions. Si and TiN/Ti/Si substrates were prepared to survey application of TiN/Ti layer which can prevent interface interaction with Si and crack of PZT thin films. As temperature increased. PZT thin films surface on Si substrate appeared more severe cracks which should affect electrical properties deadly. TiN/Ti(40-150${\mu}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$) layer applied for buffer layer suppressed interface interaction and film cracking. The measured leakage current(LC) and breakdown voltage(BV) of PZT thin film on TiN/Ti/Si substrate annealed at 650$^{\circ}$C for 15 sec (thickness of 2500$\AA$) were 38 nA/cm2 and 3.5 MV/cm and dielectric constant was 310 at 1 MHz, and remanent polarization (Pr) and coercive field (Ec) were 6.4${\mu}C/cm^{2}$ and 0.2MV/cm at 60 Hz, respectively.

In this study, $Si_3N_4$/SnZnO/AZO/Ag/Ti/ITO multi-layer film were prepared on glass substrate by DC/RF magnetron sputtering method. To prevent interfacial reaction between Ag and ITO layer, Ti buffer layer was inserted. Optical properties and sheet resistance were studied depending on laminating times of each multi-layered film especially in visible ray. The simulation program, EMP (essential macleod program), was adopted and compared with experimental data to expect the experimental result. It was found out that the transmittance of the first stacked $Si_3N_4$/SnZnO/AZO/Ag/Ti/ITO multi-layer film was more than 90%. However, with increasing stacking times, the optical properties of $Si_3N_4$/SnZnO/AZO/Ag/Ti/ITO multi-layer film get worse. Consequently, Ti layer is good for oxidation barrier, but too many uses of this layer may have an adverse effect to optical properties of TCO film.

In this paper, we deposited A1$_2$O$_3$ thin film using atomic layer deposition(ALD) method on Ti and fabricated metal-insulator-metal(MIM) capacitor. In the result of this study, the typical deposition rate was about 1.12$\AA$/cycle. About 30 nm of Ti was consumed during deposition and TiO$_{x}$ was formed at the interface of A1$_2$O$_3$ and Ti. Its surface roughness was 1.54nm. The leakage current density was 1.5 nA/$\textrm{cm}^2$. The temperature coefficient of capacitance(TCC) of MIM capacitor was 41 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ at 1MHz and 100 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ at 100 kHz.z.

In this paper. the a-Si:H TFT using ferroelectric of $SrTiO_3$ as a gate insulator is fabricated on glass. High k gate dielectric is required for on-current, threshold voltage and breakdown characteristics of TFT Dielectric characteristics of ferroelectric are superior to $SiO_2$ and $Si_3N_4$. Ferroelectric increases on-current and decreases threshold voltage of TFT and also ran improve breakdown characteristics.$SrTiO_4$ thin film is deposited by e-beam evaporation. Deposited films are annealed for 1 hour in N2 ambient at $150^{\circ}C\~600^{\circ}C$. Dielectric constant of ferroelectric is about 60-100 and breakdown field is about IMV/cm. In this paper, the TFT using ferroelectric consisted of double layer gate insulator to minimize the leakage current. a-SiN:H, a-Si:H (n-type a-Si:H) are deposited onto $SrTiO_3$ film to make MFNS(Metal/ferroelectric/a-SiN:H/a-Si:H) by PECVD. In this paper, TFR using ferroelectric has channel length of$8~20{\mu}m$ and channel width of $80~200{\mu}m$. And it shows that drain current is $3.4{\mu}A$at 20 gate voltage, $I_{on}/I_{off}$ is a ratio of $10^5\~10^8,\;and\;V_{th}$ is$4\~5\;volts$, respectively. In the case of TFT without having ferroelectric, it indicates that the drain current is $1.5{\mu}A$ at 20gate voltage and $V_{th}$ is $5\~6$ volts. If properties of the ferroelectric thin film are improved, the performance of TFT using this ferroelectric thin film can be advanced.
