The characteristic of interface layer and the effect of bias voltage on the microstructure of c-BN films were studied in the microwave plasma hot filament C.V.D process. c-BN films were deposited on a high speed steel(SKH-51) substrate by hot filament CVD technique assisted with a microwave plasma to develop a high performance of resistance coating tool. c-BN films were obtained at a gas pressure of 20 Torr, vias voltage of 300 V and substrate temperature of $800^{\circ}C$ in $B_2H_6-NH_3-H_2$ gas system. It was found that a thin layer of hexagonal boron nitride(h-BN) phase exists at the interface between c-BN layer and substrate.

In this work BN thin films were deposited on Si substrate by R. F. sputtering method at $200^{\circ}C$ and in Ar + $N_2$ mixed gas atmosphere. In order to investigate the effect of ion bombardment on substrate for c-BN bonding, substrate bias voltage was applied. The optimum substrate bias voltage for c-BN bonding was determined by FTIR analysis on specimens which were deposited with various bias voltages. Then BN thin film was deposited with this optimum condition and its phase, morphology, chemical composition, and refractive index were compared with those of BN film which was deposited without bias voltage. FTIR results showed that BN films deposited with substrate bias voltage were composed of mixed phases of c-BN and h-BN, while those deposited without bias voltage were h-BN only. When pure Ar gas was used for sputtering gas, BN films were delaminated easily from substrate in air, while when 10% $N_2$ gas was added to the sputtering gas, although c-BN specific infrared peak was reduced, delamination did not occur. GXRD and TEM results showed that BN films were amorphous phases regardless of substrate bias voltage, and AES results showed that the chemical compositions of B/N were about 1.7~1.8. The refractive index of BN film deposited with bias voltage was higher than that without bias voltage. The reason is believed to be the existence of c-BN bonding in BN film and the higher density of film that deposited with the substrate bias voltage.

Si(100) 기판 위에 RF UBM 스퍼터링 (Unbalanced Magnetron Sputtering) 방법을 이용하여 BN 박막을 증착하였다. 이온 충돌 에너지에 영향을 주는 증착 압력과 기판 바이어스 전압을 변화시켜, 증착된 BN박막의 미세구조와 압축응력의 변화를 살펴보았다. 높은 증착 압력에서는 hBN laminate의 정렬도가 기판 바이어스 전압이 증가함에 따라 선형적으로 증가한 반면, 낮은 증착 압력에서는 낮은 기판 바이어스 전압에서 hBN laminate의 정렬도가 높게 나타났다. hBN 박막의 응력 변화와 표면 형상은 hBN laminate의 정렬도와 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 관찰되었는데, 이의 적절한 조절에 의해 압축응력의 증가 없이도 hBN 박막 위에 cBN 상의 핵 형성이 일어날 수 있었다.

이온빔보조증착법을 이용하여 c-BN(70%)/h-BN(30%) 혼합막을 합성하였으며, 이를 후속 열처리로 안정화 시켰다. 보론은 e-beam evaporator로, 질소는 end-hall type 이온 건으로 공급하였으며, 기판에는 -400과 -500V의 DC 바이어스를 각각 인가하였고, $700^{\circ}C$로 가열하였다. 보론의 기화속도는 1.2 $\AA$/sec였고, 질소이온의 에너지는 약 100 eV였다. 막 합성 후같은 진공에서 후속열처리를 $700^{\circ}C$ 및 $800^{\circ}C$에서 1시간동안 각각 행하였다. 후속열처리를 하지 않은 경우에는 공기 중에 노출된 직후에 막이 기판에서 박리된 반면, $800^{\circ}C$에서 후속 열처리를 한 경우에는 안정하였다. 후속 열처리에 의하여 막 전체의 응력은 4.9 GPa에서 3.4 GPa로 감소하였으나, c-BN상의 응력은 변화하지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 c-BN상의 응력 해소를 주요 안정화 기구로 보고한 기존의 결과와 다른 것으로, 후속 열처리 동안에, 비정질이나 결함이 많은 h-BN상의 구조적, 화학적 relaxation에 의하여 막의 안정화가 진행될 수 있음을 의미한다. c-BN상의 분율이 작은 혼합막의 경우 비 c-BN상의 안정화가 막 전체의 안정화에 매우 중요할 것으로 판단된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the antibacterial activity and shelf-life extension effect of iceberg lettuce packed in BN/PE film. The BN/PE film has a strong microbial suppression effect on pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella enteritidis, and S. typhimurium. The number of psychrophiles and mesophiles during 5 days of cold storage of fresh-cut iceberg lettuce at $10^{\circ}C$ packaged in BN/PE film was strictly suppressed in comparison with other tested films (OPP, PE, and PET film). When fresh processed iceberg lettuce was processed and stored under the current conditions, the shelf-life of the product was longer than 5 days in the BN/PE film package, whereas the shelf-life when using the other films tested, PE, OPP and PET, was no longer than 3-4 days. The decay rates of the iceberg lettuce packed in the BN/PE film was maintained at $29.8{\pm}2.1%$ on the 5th day of preservation. The samples packed in BN/PE film maintained an excellent visual quality during the 3 days of storage without significant differences in comparison with the initial visual quality. No browning was observed in the samples packed in BN/PE film for up to 3 days. The texture of shredded iceberg lettuce packaged in BN/PE film remained unchanged up to 3 days, and then a moderate decrease in texture was observed after 4 days of storage. In addition, the overall acceptability of fresh-cut iceberg lettuce packaged in BN/PE film did not change for up to 3 days, whereas the samples packaged in the other films were inedible by 3 days of storage. In conclusion, the shelf-life of fresh-cut iceberg lettuce packaged in the BN/PE film was extended to more than 5 days at $10^{\circ}C$, whereas that in the other films was 2 days at $10^{\circ}C$. Therefore, the shelf-life extension effect of the fresh-cut iceberg lettuce in BN/PE film packaging was very effective compared with the other films tested.

Boron nitride films were synthesized with $N_2$ion flux of low energy, up to 100 eV, at different substrate temperatures of no heating, 200, 400, 500, and $800^{\circ}C$, respectively. Boron was supplied by e-beam evaporation at the rate of $1.5\AA$/sec. For all the conditions, hexagonal BN (h-BN) phase was mainly synthesized and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) showed that (002) planes of h-BN phase were aligned vertical to the Si substrate. The maximum alignment occurred around $400^{\circ}C$. In addition to major h-BN phase, transmission electron diffraction (TED) rings identified the formation of cubic BN (c-BN) phase. But HRTEM showed no distinct and continuous c-BN layer. These results suggest that c-BN phase may form in a scattered form even when h-BN phase is mainly synthesized under small momentum transfer by bombarding ions, which are not reconciled with the macro compressive stress model for the c-BN formation.

Boron nitride (BN) films have attracted a growing interest for a variety of t technological applications due to their excellent characteristics, namely hardness, c chemical inertness, and dielectrical behavior, etc. There are two crystalline phases 1551; of BN that are analogous to phases of carbon. Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has a a layered s$\sigma$ucture which is spz-bonded structure similar to that of graphite, and is t the stable ordered phase at ambient conditions. Cubic boron nitride (c-BN) has a z zinc blende structure with sp3-bonding like as diamond, 따ld is the metastable phase a at ambient conditions. Among of their prototypes, especially 삼Ie c-BN is an i interesting material because it has almost the same hardness and thermal c conductivity as di없nond. C Conventionally, significant progress has been made in the experimental t techniques for synthesizing BN films using various of the physical vapor deposition 밍ld chemical vapor deposition. But, the major disadvantage of c-BN films is that t they are much more difficult to synthesize than h-BN films due to its narrow s stability phase region, high compression stress, and problem of nitrogen source c control. Recent studies of the metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) of I III - V compound have established that a molecular level understanding of the d deposition process is mandatory in controlling the selectivity parameters. This led t to the concept of using a single source organometallic precursor, having the c constituent elements in stoichiometric ratio, for MOCVD growth of 삼Ie required b binary compound. I In this study, therefore, we have been carried out the growth of h-BN thin f films on silicon substrates using a single source precursors. Polycrystalline h-BN t thin films were deposited on silicon in the temperature range of $\alpha$)() - 900 $^{\circ}$C from t the organometallic precursors of Boron-Triethylamine complex, (CZHs)3N:BRJ, and T Tris(dimethylamino)Borane, [CH3}zNhB, by supersonic molecular jet and remote p plasma assisted MOCVD. Hydrogen was used as carrier gas, and additional nitrogen w was supplied by either aDlIDonia through a nozzle, or nitrogen via a remote plasma. T The as-grown films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, x x-ray pthotoelectron spectroscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, t transmission electron diffraction, optical transmission, and atomic force microscopy.roscopy.

The structural characterization of cubic boron nitride (c-BN) thin films was performed using a B4C target in a radio-frequency magnetron sputtering system. The deposition processing conditions, including the substrate bias voltage, substrate temperature, and base pressure were varied. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to analyze the crystal structures and chemical binding energy of the films. For the BN film deposited at room temperature, c-BN was formed in the substrate bias voltage range of -400 V to -600 V. Less c-BN fraction was observed as the deposition temperature increased, and more c-BN fraction was observed as the base pressure increased.

BN films were grown on silicon (l00) substrate by magnetically enhanced activated reactive evaporation (ME-ARE) with pulsed DC power instead of r.f. for substrate biasing. The deposited films were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). FTIR results show that the intensity of absorption band of $sp^2$ bond of BN decreased and that of $sp^3$ bond of c-BN increased with increasing pulsed DC bias voltage applied to substrate. The initially grown layer at the interface was observed by TEM and considered to be of$ sp^2$-bonded BN. The cross-sectional and planar TEM micrographs show that the upper layer on the initial layer was the single phase c-BN. It is concluded that cubic boron nitride films could be synthesized by ME-ARE process with pulsed DC biasing.
