본 논문에서는 채널 stress에 따른 Nano-scale CMOSFET의 소자 및 신뢰성 (HCI, NBTI)특성을 분석하였다. 잘 알려져 있듯이 NMOS는 tensile, PMOS는 compressive stress가 인가된 경우에 소자의 특성이 개선되었으며, 이는 전자와 정공의 이동도 증가에 의한 것임을 확인하였다. 그러나 신뢰성인 경우에는 소자 특성과는 다른 특성을 나타냈는데, NMOS와 PMOS 모두 tensile stress가 인가된 경우에 hot carrier 특성이 더 열화 되었으며, PMOS의 PBTI 특성도 tensile에서 더 열화 되었음을 확인하였다. 신뢰성을 분석한 결과, 채널의 tensile stress로 인하여 $Si/SiO_2$ 계면에서 interface trap charge의 생성과 산화막 내 positive fixed charge의 생성에 많은 영향을 끼침을 알 수 있었다. 그러므로 나노급 CMOSFET에 적용되는 strained-silicon MOSFET의 개발을 위해서는 소자의 성능 뿐 만 아니라 신뢰성 또한 고려되어야 한다.

본 연구는 AlO_x유전체 표면에 유기 자립조립 단분자막 (self-assembled monolayer, SAM) 중간층을 도입함으로써 유전체의 표면특성을 제어하고, 최종적으로 유기전하변조트랜지스터 (Organic charge modulated field-effect transistor, OCMFET)의 전기적 특성을 향상시킨 결과를 제시하였다. 유기 중간층을 적용함으로써, OCMFET의 컨트롤 게이트(CG, Control gate)와 플로팅 게이트 (FG, Floating gate) 사이 커패시터 플레이트로 작용하는 산화알루미늄 게이트 유전체의 표면 에너지를 제어하였으며, FET의 가장 중요한 성능변수인 전계효과 이동도(field-effect transistor, μ_FET)를 향상시켰다. 사용된 SAMs은 네가지의 PA (Octadecylphosphonic acid, Butylphosphonic acid, (3-Bromopropyl)phosphonic acid, (3-Aminopropyl) phosphonic acid)를 사용하여 형성하였으며, 각각 0.73, 0.41, 0.34, 0.15 cm2V^-1s^-1의 μ_OCMFET를 나타내었다. 이 연구를 통해 유기 SAM 중간층의 알킬 체인(Alkyl chain)의 길이 및 말단기의 특성이 소자의 전기적 성능을 제어하는데 중요한 요인임을 확인하였으며, 이 결과를 통해 향후 최적의 센서 플랫폼으로서의 OCMFET 소자성능 최적화에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

In this paper, the interfacial dielectric breakdown phenomenon of interface between Epoxy/EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer) was discussed, which affects stability of insulation system of power delivery devices. Specimen structure was designed by using MAGSOFT's FLUX2D based on the finite elements method. Design concepts is to reduce the effect of charge transport from electrode in the process of breakdown and to have the tangential electrical potential with the Epoxy/EPDM interface. AC interfacial breakdown phenomenon of was investigated by variation of interfacial conditions oil and temperature which are supposed to have influence on the interfacial breakdown strength. Interfacial breakdown strength was improved by spreading oil over interfacial surface. The decreasing ratio of the AC interfacial breakdown strength in non-oiled specimens was increased by the temperature rising and its of oiled specimens was not affected by temperature.

The interface morphology of organic active layers is known to play a crucial role in the performance of organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells. Especially, a controlled nanostructure with a large contact area between electron donor (D) and acceptor (A) layers is necessary to improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the cells since the short exciton diffusion lengths in organic semiconductors limit the charge (hole and electron) separation before excitons recombination. In this work, we developed simple solvent treating methods to fabricate a nanostructured DA interface and applied them to enhance the PCE of ZnPc/C60 based small molecule OPV cells. Interestingly, it was observed that the solvent treatment on the donor layer prior to the deposition of the acceptor layer resulted in a significant decrease in PCE, which was due to an existence of undesirable voids at the DA interface. Instead, the solvent vapor treatment after the DA bilayer formation led to densely packed and well dispersed DA contacts. Consequently, 3-fold enhancement of PCE as compared to the untreated bilayer cell was accomplished.

We performed temperature dependent current-voltage (I-V) measurements to characterize the electrical properties of $Au/Al_2O_3/n-Ge$ metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) diodes prepared with and without $H_2O$ prepulse treatment by atomic layer deposition (ALD). By considering the thickness of the $Al_2O_3$ interlayer, the barrier height for the treated sample was found to be 0.61 eV, similar to those of Au/n-Ge Schottky diodes. The thermionic emission (TE) model with barrier inhomogeneity explained the final state of the treated sample well. Compared to the untreated sample, the treated sample was found to have improved diode characteristics for both forward and reverse bias conditions. These results were associated with the reduction of charge trapping and interface states near the $Ge/Al_2O_3$ interface.

The characteristics of the Si-SiO$_2$ interface and the degradation in the short channel(L${\times}$W=1.7$\mu\textrm{m}$${\times}$15$\mu\textrm{m}$) SONOSFET nonvolatile memory devices, fabricated on the basis of the existing n-well CMOS processing technology for 1 Mbit DRAM with the 1.2$\mu\textrm{m}$ m design rule, were investigated using the charge pumping method. The SONOSFET memories have the tripple insulated-gate consisting of 30${\AA}$ tunneling oxide 205${\AA}$ nitride and 65${\AA}$ blocking oxide, The acceleration method which square voltage pulses of t$\_$p/=10msec, Vw=+19V and V$\_$E/=-22V continue to be alternatly applied to gale, was used to investigate the degradation of SONOSFET memories with the write/erase cycle. The degradation characteristics were ascertained by observing the change in the energy and spatial distributions of the interface trap density.

We elucidate the mechanism of the self-assembled organic layer formation at the organic/metal interface of hexaaza-triphenylene-hexacarbonitrile (HATCN)/Au(111) by first-principles calculations and Lowtemperature scanning tunneling microscope (STM). In this work, we used HATCN to deposit organic material which is well known as an efficient OLED charge generation material. Low-temperature STM measurements revealed that self-assembled hexagonal porous structure is formed at terraces of Au(111). We also found that the hexagonal porous structure has chirality and forms only small (<1000 $nm^2$) phaseseparated chiral domains that can easily change their chiral phase in subsequence STM images at 80 K. To explain the mechanism of these observation, we calculated the molecular-molecular and molecule-surface interaction energies by using density functional theory method. We found that the change of their chiral phase resulted from the competition between the two energies. These results have not only verified our experimental observations, but also revealed the delicate balance between different interactions that caused the self-assembed structures at the surface.

The electrical properties of Ti/p-type InP Schottky diodes with and without polyaniline (PANI) interlayer was investigated using current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements. The barrier height of Ti/p-type InP Schottky diode with PANI interlayer was higher than that of the conventional Ti/p-type InP Schottky diode, implying that the organic interlayer influenced the space-charge region of the Ti/p-type InP Schottky junction. At higher voltages, the current transport was dominated by the trap free space-charge-limited current and trap-filled space-charge-limited current in Ti/p-type InP Schottky diode without and with PANI interlayer, respectively. The domination of trap filled space-charge-limited current in Ti/p-type InP Schottky diode with PANI interlayer could be associated with the traps originated from structural defects prevailing in organic PANI interlayer.

The ZnO is stabilize dielectric constant over a broad temperature range because its addition makes the relaxation time short. In this study, the composite oxide material (B $a_{0.85}$ $Ca_{0.15}$)Ti $O_{3}$ was mixed by ZnO additive material and the dielectric polarization characteristics was studied. The relative density was over 90[%] at all specimen in the structural characteristics. Among of the specimen, the relative density of (B $a_{0.85}$ $Ca_{0.15}$)Ti $O_{3}$ with ZnO (0.4mol) has a 95[%]. The grain size of composite oxide material with an increasing ZnO increased and it was 1.0[.mu.m]-1.22[.mu.m]. In the electrical characteristics, the charge and discharge current was increased by ZnO addition. The dielectric relaxation time was increased by space charge polarization at above 110[.deg. C] and the dielectric relaxation time was fixed by space charge polarization of para-dielectric layer at below 110[.deg. C]. The dielectric relaxation time was maximum when the grain size was small. The dielectric relaxation time is decreased with an additive material ZnO and interface polarization, existing void at the grain and grain boundary. The remnant polarization is increased and the coercive electric field is decreased by ZnO.
