Zone-melting recrystallization (ZMR) system using two graphite heaters(a stationary sheet and a narrow movable bar) was constructed and implemented in recrystallization op Si films on insulating layers. The recystallized Si films were examined by Nomarski contrast optical microscopy after Dash etching, transmission electron diffraction pattern, and x-ray diffraction. With optimum conditions of process parameters(input powers of the bottom and upper heater, scanning speed of the upper heater, and the gap between sample and upper heater), the recrystallized Si layer has a (100) texture, but contains many subboundaries. The subgrains are misoriented by < 0.5\ulcorner and the average spacing between subboundaries is about 25\ulcorner.

InSb thin films were fabricated by zone melting recrystallization of In/Sb multilayered thin films prepared by sequential evaporation. Unreacted metal phase or dispersed metal precipitates lowered the electron mobility and the electron mobility increased with development of (111) prefered orientation. Properties of the film could be controlled by changing mzximum temperature and scanning speed, and the electron mobility as high as 12, 000 cm $^2$/Vsec could be obtained under the optimized conditions.

EBFZM( Electron Beam Floating Zone Melting) 법을 이용하여 몰리브덴에서의 금속계 불순물과 침입형 불순물의 정련기구 및 단결정 성장기구를 연구하 였다. Fe, Cr, Co등의 금속계 불순물은 몰리브덴과의 평형증기압의 차이에 따른 불순물의 선택적 증발에 의하여 우수한 정련효과를 나타내며, 몰리브덴보다 응점이 높은 Ta, W는 잘 제거되지 않았다. 한편 대역 정제에 의한 정련효과는 미약함을 확인하였다. EBF ZM은 C,0,N등의 침입형 불순물의 정련에도 효과적 이었다. 본 연구의 모든 조건에서 몰리브덴은 단결정으로 성장하였으며 2차 재결정 epitaxy에 의한 단결 정 성장기구가 제시되었다. 몰리브덴 단결정 내의 전 위밀도는 strain-anneal법에 의한 단결정의 경우보다 높았으며,본 실험의 열처리 조건에서는 변화하지 않았다. The purification and single crystal growth mechanisms of molybdenum were analysed in EBFZM ( electron beam floating zone melting). Metallic impurities of Fe, Cr, Co were purified efficiently but Ta and W were not removed well in this study. It was due to a preferential evaporation of the elements caused by the difference in equillibrium vapor pressure between the elements and molybdenum. The pu- rification effect by zone refining was not significant. The EBFZM also refined the interstitial impurities of C, 0 and N, effectively. The single crystals of molybdenum were grown regardless of the experimental conditions and the secondary recrystallization epitaxy was surge sled as a growth mechanism. The dislocation density in single crystal was higher than that by strain-anneal method, and was not reduced by heat treatments.

Polysilicon on insulator has been recrystallized by zone melting recrystallization method with graphite strip heaters. Experiments are performed with non-seed SOI structures. When the capping layer thickness of Si$\_$3/N$\_$4//SiO$\_$2/ is 2.0.mu.m, grain boundaries are about 120.mu.m spacing and protrusions reduced. After the seed SOI films are annealed at 1100.deg. C in NH$\_$3/ ambient for 3 hours, the recrystallized silicon surface has convex shape. After ZMR process, the tensile stress is 2.49*10$\^$9/dyn/cm$\^$2/ and 3.74*10$\^$9/dyn/cm$\^$2/ in the seed edge and seed center regions. The phenomenon of convex shape and tensile stress difference are completely eliminated by using the PSG/SiO$\_$2/ capping layer. The characterization of SOI films are showed that the SOI films are improved in wetting properties. N channel SOI MOSFET has been fabricated to investigate the electrical characteristics of the recrystallized SOI films. In the 0.7.mu.m thickness SOI MOSFET, kink effects due to the floating substrate occur and the electron mobility was calculated from the measured g$\_$m/ characteristics, which is about 589cm$\^$2//V.s. The recrystallized SOI films are shown to be a good single crystal silicon.

We have developed nucleation control methods applicable to a zone-melting recrystallization excimer laser annealing process for poly-Si films. Ribbon-shaped Si grains of 2 ${\mu}m$-width were successfully aligned side by side by means of a comb-shaped beam, and we have successfully fabricated TFTs with channels formed in those grains. Electron mobility in the TFTs is as high as 677-$cm^2$/Vs.

Semi-solid forming of the high melting point alloys such as steel is a promising near-net shape forming process for decreasing manufacturing costs and increasing the quality of the final products. This paper presents the microstructure characteristics of SKH51 (high speed tool steel) during heating and holding in the mushy zone between $1233^{\circ}C$ and $1453^{\circ}C$, which has been measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results of heating/holding experiments showed that the grain size and the liquid fraction increased gradually with temperature up to $1350^{\circ}C$. The drastic grain growth occurred at heating above $1380^{\circ}C$. The strain-induced melt-activated (SIMA) process has been applied to obtain globular grains in the billet materials. Working by mechanical upsetting and successive heating of SKH51 into the temperatures in the mushy zone resulted in globular grains due to recrystallization and partial melting.

The structure zone model has been used to provide an overview of the relationship between the microstructure of the films deposited by PVD and the most prominent deposition condition.s. B.AMovchan and AV.Demchishin have proposed it firstls such model. They concluded that the general features of the resulting structures could be correlated into three zones depending on $T/T_m$. Here T m is the melting point of the coating material and T is the substrate temperature in kelvines. Zone 1 ($T/Tm_) is dominated by tapered macrograins with domed tops, zone 2 ($O.3) by columnar grains with denser boundaries and zone 3 ($T/T_m>O.5$) by equiaxed grains formed by recrystallization. J.AThomton has extended this model to include the effect of the sputtering gas pressure and found a fourth zone termed zone T(transition zone) consisting of a dense array of poorly defined fibrous grains. R.Messier found that the zone I-T boundary (fourth zone of Thorton) varies in a fashion similar to the film bias potential as a function of gas pressure. However, there has not nearly enough model for explaining the change in morphology with crystal orientation of the films. The structure zone model only provide an information about the morphology of the deposited film. In general, the nucleation and growth mechanism for granular and fine structure of the deposited films are very complex in an PVD technique because the morphology and orientation depend not only on the substrate temperature but also on the energy of deposition of the atoms or ions, the kinetic mechanism between metal atoms and argon or nitrogen gas, and even on the presence of impurities. In order to clarify these relationship, AI and Mg thin films were prepared on SPCC steel substrates by PVD techniques. The influence of gas pressures and bias voltages on their crystal orientation and morphology of the prepared films were investigated by SEM and XRD, respectively. And the effect of crystal orientation and morphology of the prepared films on corrosion resistance was estimated by measuring polarization curves in 3% NaCI solution.

This paper describes a buried-island SOI MOSFET structure which can reduce the edge channel effect by improving the interface properties at the side wall of active island and by reducing the strength of electric field applied at the upper corner of the side wall from the gate. Also, the buried-island SOl structure can obtain the uniform thickness of SOl film. The buried-island structure can be achieved by Zone- Melting-Recrystallization of polysilicon and polishing. Both simulated and experimental results show that the buried-island SOl NMOSFET has less edge channel effect than the conventional SOl NMOSFET using LOCOS or mesa isolation technique.

Phosphorous was deped in silicon thin films by Ion Mass Doping and Changes in the electrical resistance with respect tko heat treatments were investigated. SOI(Silicon On Insulator) thin films which contain few grain boundaries prepared by ZMR(Zone Melting Recrystallization) of polysilicon films, polysilicon films which have about 1500 $A^{\rarw}$ of grain size prepared by LPCVD at 625.deg. C, and amorphous silicon thin films prepared by LPCVD at low temperature were used as substrates and thermal behavior of phosphorous after RTA(Rapid Thermal Annealing) and furnace annealing was carefully studied. Amorphous thin films showed about 10$^{6}$ .OMEGA./ㅁbefore any heat treatment, while polycrystalline and SOI films about 10$^{3}$.OMEGA./¤. All these films, however, showed about 10.OMEGA./ㅁafter furnace annealing at 700.deg. C for 3hrs and RTA showed about the same trend. Films with grain boundaries showed a certain range of heat treatment which rendered increase of the electrical resistance upon annealing, which could not be observed in amorphous films and segregation of doped phosphorous by diffusion with annealing was thought to be responsible for this abnormal behavior.

SOI구조 형성을 위항 대용융 재결정(ZMR) 공정에서 타원형의 반사경을 기울여 빔강도분포를 인위적으로 변화시켜 실리콘 박막을 재결정시켰다. 비대칭 선형가열 효과를 해석하기 위하여 전산모사를 행하여 응고계면 근처에서의 온도분포와 열구배 변화를 조사하였다. 상부집속열원의 경사각이 증가할수록 액상의 과냉도와 실리콘 박막내의 결함열 간격은 증가하였다. 주된 결함은 연속적인 아결정립계였고 결함밀도가 낮은 경우는 isolated threading dislocations만이 관찰되었다. 단면 TEM과 박막 XRD 분석결과 실리콘 박막은 (100) 집합조직을 갖는 단결정 박막으로 재결정되었음을 확인할 수 있었다.
