  • We attempted modulation of the hydrogen dilution ratio in a Cat-CVD system to achieve both the minimal incubation layer and the high throughput. We obtained the incubation layer thickness of 3 nm, and were able to grow a 200 nm-thick film having a 70 % crystallinity in 18 minutes.

  • Pb0.5Sr0.5TiO3 (PST) thin films were fabricated by the alkoxide-based sol-gel process using spin-coating method on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate. The PST films annealed from 500C to 650C for 1h show a perovskite phase and dense microstructure with a smooth surface. The grain size and dielectric constant of PST films increases with the increase in annealing temperature, which reduces the SiO2 equivalent thickness of the PST film. The crystallinity or internal strain in the PST thin films analyzed from the diffraction-peak widths correlate well with the decrease in the dielectric losses. The dielectric constants and dielectric loss (%) of the PST films annealed at 650c (teq : 0.89 nm) were 549 and 0.21%, respectively.

  • In order to apply WO3 thin films to the semiconducting NOx gas sensors as a sensing material, which have been expected to show good electrical properties, such as large sensitivity, rapid responsibility, and high selectivity, the fabrication method and their sensing characteristics were studied. The variations of surface morphologies, crystallographic orientations and crystallinity with the WO3 thin film growing methods thermal evaporation and DC sputtering methods were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis. As a result of sensitivity (Rgas/Rair) measurements for the 5 ppm NO2 test gas, the sensitivity values were 113 for the sputtered films and 93 for the evaporated films. It was also observed that the recovery rate of a sensing signal after measuring sensitivity was faster in the sputtered films than in the evaporated films.

  • The preparation of tin oxide thin films by atomic layer deposition (ALD), using a tetrakis (ethylmethylamino) tin precursor, and the effects of a seed layer on film growth were examined. The average growth rate of tin oxide films was approximately 1.2 to 1.4 A/cycle from $50^{\circ}C$ to $150^{\circ}C$. The rate rapidly decreased at the substrate temperature at $200^{\circ}C$. A seed effect was not observed in the crystal growth of tin oxide. However, crystallinity and the growth of seed material were detected by XPS after thermal annealing. ALD-grown seeded tin oxide thin films, as-deposited and after thermal annealing, were characterized by X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy and XPS.

  • Single-crystalline IGZO (Indium-Gallium-Zinc oxide) was fabricated on c-sapphire substrate. Single crystal ZnO was used as a buffer layer, and post-annealing was treated in $900^{\circ}C$ for crystallization of IGZO. Crystallized IGZO formed superlattice structure spontaneously induced to c-axis direction by ZnO butTer layer, the composition of IGZO was varied by amount of ZnO. Crystallinity and composition of IGZO was analyzed by X-ray Diffraction and Transmission Electron Microscopy.

  • As the rapid development of the electronics, the demand for portable electronics and wireless sensors is growing faster, also with the increased needs of one material which can power it automatically, and then power the electrical devices. The piezoelectric effect of the PVDF material can be used for this. So in this paper, PVDF multilayer films were made for this aim. Make the PVDF / DMAc solution in the 10% concentration; use the spin coater technique to make films with the optimum process parameters: the spin rate is 1260rpm; the spin time is 70s; the dry temperature is 100$^{\circ}C$; the dry time is 30mins. And also, for obtaining the higher $\beta$-phase crystallinity, put the Ca(NH3)2.4H2O into the PVDF / DMAc solution system.

  • To investigate the influence of r.f. power and electrode distance on the TiN deposition, TiN films were deposited onto STC3, STD11 steel and Si-wafer from gas mixtures of $TiC_4/N_2/H_2$ using the radio frequency plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition. The crystallinity of TiN film could be improved by the increase of r.f. power and the decrease of electrode distance. The TiN coated layer contains chlorine, its content were decreased with increasing r.f. power as well as decreasing electrode distance. And the thickness of deposited TiN was largely affected by r.f. power and electrode distance. The hardness of deposited TiN reached a maximum value of about Hv 2,000.

  • Two kinds of polished and unpolished freestanding films prepared by DC plasma CVD method were impacted by SiC particles to understand erosion mechanism. Erosion damage caused by solid impact was characterized by surface profilometer, scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Gradually decrease of surface roughness and sharp reduction of crystallinity for unpolished CVD films were observed with increasing erosion time. It was found that smaller grains of the diamond were removed in early stage of erosion process and larger grains were eroded with further impingement. By introduction of re-growth method on polished diamond, further understanding of erosion mechanism was achieved. Most of the surface fractures were initiated at the grain boundary.

  • Sb-doped tin oxide films were deposited on Corning glass 1737 substrate by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(PECVD) technique using a gas mixture of SnCl4/SbCl5/O2/Ar. The deposition behaviors of tin oxide films by PECVD were compared with those by thermal CVD, and effects of deposition temperature, r.f. power and Sb doping on the electrical properties of tin oxide films were investigated. PECVD technique largely increased the deposition rate and smoothed the surface of tin oxide films compared with thermal CVD. Electrical resistivity decreased with doping of Sb due to the increase of carrier concentration. However, large doping of Sb diminished carrier concentration and mobility due to the decrease of crystallinity, which resulted in the increase of electrical resistivity. As the deposition temperature and r.f. power increased, Cl content in the film decreased.

  • This paper describes the mechanical properties of poly (Polycrystalline) 3C-SiC thin films with $N_2$ in-situ doping. In this work, the poly 3C-SiC film was deposited by APCVD (Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition) method using single-precursor HMDS (Hexamethyildisilane: $Si_2(CH_3)_6)$ at $1200^{\circ}C$. The mechanical properties of doped poly 3C-SiC thin films were measured by nono-indentation according to the various $N_2$ flow rate. In the case of 0 sccm $N_2$ flow rate, Young's Modulus and hardness were obtained as 285 GPa and 35 GPa, respectively. Young's Modulus and hardness were decreased according to increase of $N_2$ flow rate. The crystallinity and surface roughness was also measured by XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) and AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy), respectively.
