A carbon monoxide gas sensor utilizing Pt-SiC, Pt-SnO2-SiC diode structure was fabricated. Since the operating temperature for silicon devices in limited to 200oC, sensor which employ the silicon substrate can not at high temperature. In this study, CO gas sensor operating at high temperature which utilize SiC semiconductor as a substrate was developed. Since the SiC is the semiconductor with wide band gap. the sensor at above $700^{\circ}C$. Carbon monoxide-sensing behavior of Pt-SiC, Pt-SnO2-SiC diode is systematically compared and analyzed as a function of carbon monoxide concentration and temperature by I-V and ${\Delta}$I-t method under steady-state and transient conditions.

The electronic and adsorption structure of o-phthalaldehyde (OPA) on the H-Si(100) surface was investigated by using Near Edge X-ray Fine Structure (NEXAFS) and high resolution photoemission spectroscopy (HRPES). We confirmed that the OPA grown on the H-Si(100) surface showed good dependency with about 60 degree tilting angle using NEXAFS and a single O 1s peak by using HRPES. Hydrogen atom passivated on the Si(100) surface was found to be a seed for making one dimensional organic line that uses a chain reaction as the H-Si(100) surface was compared with the hydrogen free Si(100) surface.

Fine powders of amorphous $Al_2O_3,\;SiO_2,\;Al_2O_3-SiO_2$ system were prepared by hydrolysis of solutions containing alkoxides, aluminium tri-isopropoxide and silicon tetra-ethoxide. High purity ultrafine ${\beta}-sialon$ powders were prepared by the carbothermal reduction-nitridation of amorphous $Al_2O_3-SiO_2$ powders mixed with carbon black as a reducing agent. In the hydrolysis step the effect of the factors such as pH, reaction temperature and amount of water on the conversion rate of alkoxides to oxides was investigated. In the carbothermal reduction-nitridation the reaction path was assumed by the analysis of intermediates formed in the process of ${\beta}-sialon$ synthesis and the reaction kinetics of ${\beta}-sialon$ formation was considered.

Using the anisotropic etching characteristics of N2H4-H2O solutions, Si diaphragm was fabricated for the integrated sensors. The optimal composition and temperature of the etching solution in (100) Si etching process was established to be 50mol% N2H4 in H2O at 105\ulcorner\ulcorner for both higher etch rate (=2.6\ulcorner/min) and better surface quality of etched (100) planes. Based on the above optimal etching condition, the electrochemical etch-stop technique was employed to form n-type Si diaphragm having a thickness of 20\ulcorner and the thickness of diapragm could exactly be controlled to 20\ulcorner\ulcorner.

The development of low-k materials is essential for modern semiconductor processes to reduce the cross-talk, signal delay and capacitance between multiple layers. The effect of the $CH_4$ concentration on the formation of SiOC(-H) films and their dielectric characteristics were investigated. SiOC(-H) thin films were deposited on Si(100)/$SiO_2$/Ti/Pt substrates by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) with $SiH_4$, $CO_2$ and $CH_4$ gas mixtures. After the deposition, the SiOC(-H) thin films were annealed in an Ar atmosphere using rapid thermal annealing (RTA) for 30min. The electrical properties of the SiOC(-H) films were then measured using an impedance analyzer. The dielectric constant decreased as the $CH_4$ concentration of low-k SiOC(-H) thin film increased. The decrease in the dielectric constant was explained in terms of the decrease of the ionic polarization due to the increase of the relative carbon content. The spectrum via Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy showed a variety of bonding configurations, including Si-O-Si, H-Si-O, Si-$(CH_3)_2$, Si-$CH_3$ and $CH_x$ in the absorbance mode over the range from 650 to $4000\;cm^{-1}$. The results showed that dielectric properties with different $CH_4$ concentrations are closely related to the (Si-$CH_3$)/[(Si-$CH_3$)+(Si-O)] ratio.

Silicon oxide thin films have been deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition in SiH4 and N2O plasma along the variation of the gas flow ratio. Optical emission spectroscopy was employed to monitor the plasma and ellipsometry was employed to obtain refractive index of the deposited thin film. The atomic ratio of Si, O, and N in the film was obtained using XPS depth profiling. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy was used to analyze structures of the films. RI decreased with the increase in N2O/SiH4 gas flow ratio. We noticed the increase in the Si-O-Si bond angles as the N2O/SiH4 gas flow ratio increased, according to the analysis of the Si-O-Si stretching peak between 950 and 1,150 cm-1 in the wavenumber. We observed a correlation between the optical emission intensity ratio of (ISi+ISiH)/IO. The OES intensity ratio is also related with the measured refractive index and chemical composition ratio of the deposited thin film. Therefore, we report the added value of OES data analysis from the plasma related to the thin film characteristics in the PECVD process.

It is a fundamental study for the hardened bodies of $CaO-SiO_2-H_2O$ system to clear up various physical properties and structures of the products, using the Seosan quartz and $Ca(OH)_2$(C. P. grade) as raw materials. Various samples were obtained by varying $CaO/SiO_2$ mole ratio (0.3∼2.1) and hydrothermal conditions ($100∼220^{\circ}C$ and 2∼14hr.) within the given limit. It was found that tobermorite phase as hydrate is contained in the hardened bodies and that the development of crystal has a great influence on the strengths and other physical properties of hardened bodies.

유리를 기판으로 하는 superstrate pin 비정질 태양전지에서 전면투명전도막(TCO)과 p-layer의 계면이 태양전지의 효율을 내는데 가장 큰 기여를 한다. 전면투명전도막(TCO)으로 현재 일반적으로 사용되는 ZnO:Al는 $SnO_2:F$ 보다 전기,광학적으로 우수하고, 안개율(Haze)높으며, 수소 플라즈마에서의 안정성이 높은 특정을 갖고 있다. 그래서 박막 태양전지 특성향상에 매우 유리하나, 태양전지로 제조했을 때, $SnO_2:F$보다 충진율(Fill factor:F.F)과 V_{\infty}$ 가 감소한다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 실험실에서는 $SnO_2:F$의 F.F가 72%이 나온 반면 ZnO:Al의 F.F은 68%에 그쳤다. 이들 원인을 분석하기 위해 TCO/p-layer의 전기적 특성을 알아 본 결과, $SnO_2:F$보다 ZnO:Al의 직렬저항이 높게 측정되었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 p-layer 에 R={$H_2/SiH_4$}=25로 변화, p ${\mu$}c$-Si:H/p a-SiC:H 로 p-layer 이중 증착, p-layer의 boron doping 농도를 증가시키는 실험을 하였다. 직렬저항이 가장 낮았던 p ${\mu$}c$-Si:H/p a-SiC:H 로 p-layer 이중 증착에서 Voc는 0.95V F.F는 70% 이상이 나왔다. 이들 각 p층의 $E_a$(Activation Energy)를 구해본 결과, ${\mu$}c$-Si:H의 Ea 가 가장 낮은 것을 관찰 할 수 있었다.

It has been reported that a biocement obtained by mixing CaO-SiO2-P2O5 glass powder and ammonium phosphate solution has biocompatibility as well as high strength. However, the compositional dependence on its hardening and hydroxyapatite formation phenomena has not been studied. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to study the effects of P2O5, MgO in CaO-SiO2 system glass on the hardening and hydroxyapatite formation. When more than 50 mole% of CaO containing CaO-SiO2 glasses was reacted with ammonium phosphate solution, CaNH4PO4.H2O crystal was formed, but the glass with less than 50 mol% of CaO formed (NH4)2HPO4 and NH4H2PO4 crystals which are derived from ammonium phosphate solution without reacting with the glasses. As the amount of P2O5 in CaO-SiO2-P2O5 glass system was increased, the formation of CaNH4PO4.H2O crystal was enhanced. When those hardened samples were reacted with tris-buffer solution, hydroxyapatite was obtained only for the sample with CaNH4PO4.H2O. While the substitution of MgO for CaO decreased the formation of CaNH4PO4.H2O crystal. MgNH4PO4.H2O crystla was formed in high MgO containing glass, which did not react with tris-buffer solution.
