차세대 반도체 산업의 발전을 위하여 반도체 소자의 구조는 DRAM, FRAM, MRAM 등 여러 분야에서 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히 이런 차세대 반도체 소자에서 금속 배선으로는 Cu가 사용되며, Cu 금속 배선을 위한 확산방지막에 대한 연구는 반드시 필요하다[1-3]. Cu 금속 배선을 위한 확산방지막에 대한 현재까지의 연구에서는 Tungsten(W)을 기반으로 Nitride(N)를 불순물로 첨가한 확산방지막에 대하여 연구되었다[4-7]. 이러한 W-N를 기반으로 본 연구에서는 물리적 기상 증착법(PVD) 방법인 RF Magnetron Sputter 방법으로 W-N 이외에 Carbon(C) 과 Boron(B)을 첨가하여 확산방지막의 특성을 확인하였고, 특히 Boron Target의 power를 변화하여 W-B-C-N 확산방지막의 Boron에 의한 특성과 열적 안정성을 연구하였다[8-10]. 실험은 다양한 Boron의 조성을 가지는 확산방지막을 증착하여 $\beta$-ray와 4-point probe를 사용하여 확산방지막의 특성을 확인하였고, 고온($700^{\circ}C{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$) 열처리한 후 X-ray Diffraction 분석을 하여 열적 안정성을 확인하였다.

I have investigated the effects of annealing on a polymeric $\alpha-C_3N_{4.2}$ at high pressure and temperature in the presence of seeds of crystalline carbon nitride films prepared by a high voltage discharge plasma. The samples were evaluated by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), infrared spectroscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction(XRD). Notably, XPS studies of the film composition before and after annealing demonstrate that the nitrogen composition in $\alpha-C_3N_{4.2}$ material initially containing more than 58% nitrogen decreases during the annealing process and reaches a common, stable composition of ~43%. XPS analysis also shows that the nitrogen composition in the annealed films without polymeric $\alpha-C_3N_{4.2}$ was reduced from 35% to 17%. Furthermore the concentration of the sp$^3$bonded phase increased with the increment of the annealing temperature.

Stress behavior was studied to investigate the internal behaviors of boron, carbon, and nitrogen in the 1000${\AA}$-thick tungsten boron carbon nitride (W-B-C-N) thin films. The impurities in the W-B-C-N thin films provide stuffing effects that were very effective for preventing the interdiffusion between interconnection metal and silicon substrate during the subsequent high temperature annealing process. The resistivity of W-B-C-N thin film decreases as an annealing temperature increase. The W-B-C-N thin films have compressive stress, and the stress value decreased up to $4.11\times10^{10}dyne/cm^2$ as an $N_2$ flow rate increases up to 3 sccm.

In this paper, the LC alignment characteristics of the NDLC thin film deposited by PECVD and sputtering were reported respectively. The NDLC thin film deposited using sputter showed uniform LC alignment at the 1200 eV of the ion beam intensity and pretilt angle was about $2^{\circ}$ while the NDLC thin film deposited using the PECVD showed uniform LC alignment and high pretilt angle at the 1800 eV of the ion beam intensity. Concerning the ion beam intensity, uniform LC alignment of the NDLC thin film deposited by the sputtering was achieved at the lower intensity. And the pretilt angle of the NDLC thin film deposited by sputter was higher than those of NDLC thin film that was deposited using the PECVD. The uppermost of the thermal stability of NDLC thin film was $200^{\circ}C$, respectively. However, NDLC thin film deposited by the PECVD showed stability at high temperature without defects, compared to NDLC thin film deposited by the sputter.

Structural properties of rf sputtered boron nitride films were studied as a function of deposition parameters such as nitrogen pressure, substrate temperature and substrate bias using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy. Composition and information on chemical bonding of resultant films was determined by XPS. XPS core level spectra showed that ratio of boron to nitrogen varied from 3.11 to 1.45 with respect to partial nitrogen pressure. Curve fitting of XPS spectra revealed three kinds of bonding mechanism of boron in the films. XPS peak positions of both B 1s and N 1s shifted to higher energy with higher nitrogen pressure as well as increase in substrate bias voltage. AES was used to see possible contamination of films by carbon or oxygen as well.

It is a challenge from an industrial point of view to fabricate silicon nitride substrates with high thermal conductivity and good mechanical properties for power devices from high-purity Si scrap powder by means of thick film processes such as tape casting. We characterize the residual carbon and oxygen content after the binder burnout followed by nitridation as a function of the temperature in the temperature range of $300^{\circ}C-700^{\circ}C$ and the atmosphere in a green tape sample which consists of high-purity Si powder and polymer binders such as polyvinyl butyral and dioctyl phthalate. The optimum condition of binder burnout is suggested in terms of the binder removal temperature and atmosphere. If considering nitridation, the burnout of the organic binder in air compared to that in a nitrogen atmosphere could offer an advantage when fabricating reaction-bonded $Si_3N_4$ substrates for power devices to enable low carbon and oxygen contents in green tape samples.

Tantalum nitride(TaN) films were deposited by atomic layer deposition(ALD) and plasma assisted atomic layer deposition(PAALD). The deposition of the TaN thin film has been performed using pentakis (ethylmethlyamino) tantalum (PEMAT) and ammonia($NH_3$) as precursors at temperature of $250^{\circ}C$, where the temperature was proven to be ALD window for TaN deposition from our previous experiments. The PAALD deposited TaN film shows better physical properties than thermal ALD deposited TaN film, due to its higher density$(~11.59 g/\textrm{cm}^3$) and lower carbon(~ 3 atomic %) and oxygen(~ 4 atomic %) concentration of impurities.
