$O_2$기체에 $NH_3/O_2$기체를 첨가하여 실리콘 표면에 산화막을 형성하는 $NH_3/O_2$산화법 에 의한 산화공정시 반응석영관 외부에 방출하는 기체는 $N_2,O_2$및 $H_2O$이며 극소량의 $CO_2$, NO 및 $NO_2$가 검출되었다. 두 종류의 산화제($O_2$ 및 $H_2O$)가 산화에 기여하며 성장률은 $NH_3$및 $O_2$ 의 부분압과 온도에 의해 결정되며, 그 기울기는 건식 및 습식 산화법의 중간에 평행 하게 위치함을 확인하였다. Auger Electron Spectroscopy(AES) 측정결과 $NH_3/O_2$ 산화막은 정확한 $SiO_2$의 화학량론을 가지며 $SiO_2/Si$계면에 발생하는 결합을 억제하며 고정전하의 발 생을 최소화함을 알 수 있었다. $NH_3/O_2$ 산화막(470$\AA$)의 항복전압을 57.5Volt이며, C-V특성 곡선을 축정한 결과 플랫밴드 전압은 0.29Volt이며 곡선의 형태는 이상곡선과 일치하였다.

CF4 이온빔보조증착법으로 굴절률이 유리보다 낮은 SiOxFy 박막을 제작하고 광학적, 구조적 및 화학적 특성을 연구하였다. End-Hall 이온총의 양극전압의 간소에 따라 SiOxFy 박막의 굴절률은 1.455까지 변하였으며, 이온빔 전류밀도의 증가에 따라서 굴절률은 1.462에서 1.430까지 변하였다. XPS와 FT-IR 분석으로부터 SiOxFy 박막의 F양이 증가함에 따라 Si-O 결합은 파수가 높은 쪽으로 이동하였고, F이 약 8.5at.%인 SiOxFy 박막은 OH 결합이 매우 감소하였으여, 박막 표면의 F이 H2O와 결합하여 탈착되는 것을 알았다. SiOxFy 박막의 응력은 0.3GPa 이하의 압축응력이었으며, 결정구조는 비정질이었다. SiOxFy 박막의 응용으로서 SiOxFy 박막과 흡수층 Si 박막을 이용하여 2층 반사방지막을 제작하였다.

A SiOxCy(-H) thin film was synthesized by atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge(APDBD), and a SiO₂-like layer was formed on the surface of the film by oxidation treatment using oxygen plasma. Hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane was used as a precursor for the SiOxCy(-H) synthesis, and He gas was used for stabilizing APDBD. Oxygen permeability was evaluated by forming an oxidized SiOxCy(-H) thin film on a PET film. When the single-layer oxidized SiOxCy(-H) film was coated on the PET, the oxygen gas permeability decreased by 46% compared with bare PET. In case of three-layer oxidized SiOxCy(-H) film, the oxygen gas permeability decreased by 73%. The oxygen permeability was affected by the thickness of the SiO₂-like layer formed by oxidation treatment rather than the thickness of the SiOxCy(-H) film. The excellent corrosion resistance was demonstrated by coating an oxidized SiOxCy(-H) thin film on the silver-coated aluminum PCB for light emitting diode (LED).

SOG박막 밑에 층간 절연박으로 사용하는 PECVD산화막을 Si rich산화막으로 만들어 줌으로써 실리콘 dangling bond가 수소원자나 수분과 결합하여 SOG박막으로 부터 침투되는 수소원자나 수분의 확산을 억제하므로서 소작 열화되는 것을 방지한다. 이러한 Si rich산화막의 기본 특성을 알아보기 위하여 LF/HF power비와 $SiH_4/N_2O$ gas유량비를 변화시켜서 박막 특성을 조사하였다. 저주파 power만 변화시킨 경우, 증착속도가 감소하고 굴절율과 압축응력에 증가하며 FTIR에서 3300$\textrm{cm}^{-1}$~3800$\textrm{cm}^{-1}$영역의 수분에 의한 peak이 감소하는 것으로 보아 박막이 치밀해짐을 알 수 있고, $SiH_{4}$기체유량을 증가시킨 경우엔 증착속도, 굴절율, 식각속도는 증가하나 압축응력은 감소한다. FTIR에서 Si-O-Si peak의 세기가 감소하고 낮은 파수영역으로 이동하며, AES분석 결과에서 일반적인 oxide(Si:0=1:1.98)에서 보다 Si:O비가 1:1.23으로 낮아 PECVD산화 막내의 Si danling bond가 증가했음을 알 수 있었다.

Zinc-oxide films were deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique using doped ZnO target (mixed $In_2O_3$ 0.1, 0.3, 0.6 at. % - atomic percentage) on the p-type Si(111) substrate. A little Indium has added at the n-ZnO films for the electron concentration control and enhanced the electrical properties. Also, post thermal annealed ZnO films are shown an enhanced structural and controled electron concentration by the annealing condition for the hetero junction diode of a better emitting characteristics. The electrical and the diode characteristics of the ZnO films were investigated by using Hall effect measurement and current-voltage measurement.

60 nm- and 20 nm-thick hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) layers were deposited on 200 nm $SiO_2/Si$ substrates using ICP-CVD (inductively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition). A 10 nm-Ni layer was then deposited by e-beam evaporation. Finally, 10 nm-Ni/60 nm a-Si:H/200 nm-$SiO_2/Si$ and 10 nm-Ni/20 nm a-Si:H/200 nm-$SiO_2/Si$ structures were prepared. The samples were annealed by rapid thermal annealing for 40 seconds at $200{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ to produce $NiSi_x$. The resulting changes in sheet resistance, microstructure, phase, chemical composition and surface roughness were examined. The nickel silicide on a 60 nm a-Si:H substrate showed a low sheet resistance at T (temperatures) >$450^{\circ}C$. The nickel silicide on the 20 nm a-Si:H substrate showed a low sheet resistance at T > $300^{\circ}C$. HRXRD analysis revealed a phase transformation of the nickel silicide on a 60 nm a-Si:H substrate (${\delta}-Ni_2Si{\rightarrow}{\zeta}-Ni_2Si{\rightarrow}(NiSi+{\zeta}-Ni_2Si)$) at annealing temperatures of $300^{\circ}C{\rightarrow}400^{\circ}C{\rightarrow}500^{\circ}C$. The nickel silicide on the 20 nm a-Si:H substrate had a composition of ${\delta}-Ni_2Si$ with no secondary phases. Through FE-SEM and TEM analysis, the nickel silicide layer on the 60 nm a-Si:H substrate showed a 60 nm-thick silicide layer with a columnar shape, which contained both residual a-Si:H and $Ni_2Si$ layers, regardless of annealing temperatures. The nickel silicide on the 20 nm a-Si:H substrate had a uniform thickness of 40 nm with a columnar shape and no residual silicon. SPM analysis shows that the surface roughness was < 1.8 nm regardless of the a-Si:H-thickness. It was confirmed that the low temperature silicide process using a 20 nm a-Si:H substrate is more suitable for thin film transistor (TFT) active layer applications.

Typical metal oxide thin films having optical and electrical properties are widely used as inorganic functional materials. Liquid phase deposition(LPD) method, a new low temperature process, has been developed for the several advantages of no vacuum system, low cost, high throughput, and low processing temperature(<$50^{\circ}C$). Silica powder was added to 40wt% hydrofluoro-silicic acid($H_2$SiF\ulcorner) to obtain an immersing solution of silica-saturated hydrofluorosilicic acid solution. Boric acid solution was continuously added in the range from 0 to 0.05M to prepare supersaturated hydrofluorosilicic acid solution. LPD $SiL_2$film was formed with the variation of added amount of $H_2$O. The SiO$_2$thin film could be prepared from hydrofluorosilicic acid by LPD method. The thickness of LPD $_SiO2$film was influenced by the boric acid concentration and added amount of $H_2$O. Silicon in thin film existed as SiF\ulcorner by Raman spectrum.

In this study, the thickness effects of $Al_2O_3$ layer on the sensing properties of $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ (OA) stacked membrane were investigated using electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor (EIS) structure for high quality pH sensor. The $Al_2O_3$ layers with a respective thickness of 5 nm, 15 nm, 23 nm, 50 nm, and 100 nm were deposited on the 5-nm-thick $SiO_2$ layers. The electrical characteristics and sensing properties of each OA membranes were investigated using metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) and EIS devices, respectively. As a result, the OA stacked membrane with 23-nm-thick $Al_2O_3$ layer shows the excellent characteristics as a sensing membrane of EIS sensor, which can enhance the signal to noise ratio.

Decomposition behavior of $ferro-Si_3N_4$was investigated with varying temperature and holding time in mud components for high temperature refractory applications. Porosities gradually increased with increasing temperature and holding time due to the carbothermal reduction of $Si_3N_4\;and\;SiO_2$. Silicon monoxide (SiO) as a intermediate resulted from evaporation of $Si_3N_4\;and\;SiO_2$ reacted with C sources to generate needle-like ${\beta}-SiC$ and Fe in $Si_3N_4$ acted as a catalyst in order to enhance growth of SiC grain with the preferred orientation. SiC generation yield increased with increasing holding time, all of the $Si_3N_4\;and\;SiO_2$ affected on SiC formation up to 2h. However, SiC generation was only dependent on residual $SiO_2$ over 2h, because the carbothermal reduction reaction of $Si_3N_4$ was no longer possible at that time.

PSG/$SiO_2$ 보호막 처리된 Al-1%Si 박막배선 내 sodium (Na)과 수분($H_2O$) 게터링(gettering) 현상을 측정, 분석하였다. PSG/$SiO_2$ 보호막과 Al-1%Si 박막을 상압CVD (APCVD: atmosphere pressure chemical vapor deposition)법과 DC 마그네트론 스퍼터로 각각 증착하였고, 이차이온 질량분석기(SIMS: secondary ion mass spectrometry)를 이용한 깊이분포측정(depth profiling) 분석을 통해 PSG/$SiO_2$ 보호막으로부터 Al-1%Si 박막배선 층까지의 sodium과 수분 등 성분들의 분포를 확인하였다. Sodium과 수분 피크 모두 Al-1%Si 박막배선 내부보다는 막 간 계면에서 강하게 나타났다. PSG와 $SiO_2$ 보호막 계면에서는 sodium 피크는 관찰되었지만 수분 피크는 관찰되지 않았다.
