In the advanced material for the next generation display device, transparent amorphous oxide semiconductors (TAOS) are promising materials as a channel layer in thin film transistor (TFT). The TAOS have many advantages for large-area application compared with hydrogenated amorphous silicon TFT (a-Si:H) and organic semiconductor TFT. For the reasonable characteristics of TAOS, The a-IGZO has the excellent performances such as low temperature fabrication (R.T~), high mobility, visible region transparent, and reasonable on-off ratio. In this study, we investigated how the electric characteristics and physical properties are changed as various oxygen ratio when magnetron sputtering. we analysis a-IGZO film by AFM, EDS and I-V measurement. decreasing the oxygen ratio, the threshold voltage is shifted negatively and mobility is increasing. Through this correlation, we confirm the effect of oxygen ratio. We fabricated the bottom-gate a-IGZO TFTs. The gate insulator, SiO2 film was grown on heavily doped silicon wafer by thermal oxidation method. a-IGZO channel layer was deposited by RF magnetron sputtering. and the annealing condition is $350^{\circ}C$. Electrode were patterned Al deposition through a shadow mask(160/1000 um).

Plasma-polymer thin films (PPTF) have been deposited on a Si(100) wafer and glass under several conditions such as different RF power by using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) system. Ethylcyclohexane, ammonia gas, hydrogen and argon were utilized as organic precursor, doping gas, bubbler gas and carrier gases, respectively. PPTFs were grown up with RF (ratio frequency using 13.56 MHz) powers in the range of 20~60 watt. PPTFs were characterized by FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared), FE-SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), AFM (Atomic Force Microscope), Contact angle and Probe station. The result of FT-IR measurement showed that the PPTFs have high cross-link density nitrogen doping ratio was also changed with a RF power increasing. AFM and FE-SEM also showed that the PPTFs have smooth surface and thickness. Impedance analyzer was utilized for the measurements of C-V curves having different dielectric constant as RF power.

We fabricated grooved mushroom structures with anisotropic wettability on silicon substrates using basic MEMS processes. The geometry of these grooved mushroom structures could be changed by controlling the additional IPA solution during Si etching by TMAH solution. To understand anisotropic wettability, contact angles (CAs) of hexadecane droplets were measured in the orthogonal and parallel directions to grooved lines. The CA measurement results displayed anisotropic wetting on the grooved mushroom structures. However, specimens with $80{\mu}m$ distance between top layers displayed isotropic and superoleophobic wetting. This study demonstrates that the thickness of the top layer is more critical than the width or height of the ridge when determining the wettability of organic solvent. Despite the wide distance between top layers ($80{\mu}m$), the specimen with a thin top layer (100 nm) showed highly anisotropic wetting and low CA due to the pinning of droplets at the edge of the top layer.

The measurement of external magnetic field orientation using Giant Magneto Impedance (GMI) sensors has been performed. A soft magnetic alloy of $Co_{30}Fe_{34}Ni_{36}$ was electroplated on a Si wafer with a CoFeNi seed layer. V-shaped microwire patterns were formed using a conventional photolithography process. An external magnetic field was generated by a rectangular AlNiCo permanent magnet. The reference direction was defined as the external magnetic field direction oriented in the middle of 2 GMI devices. As the orientation of the magnetic field deviated from the reference direction, variation in the field component along each device introduced voltage changes. It was found that, by taking the voltage difference between the left and right arms of the Vshaped device, the nonlinearity of each device could be significantly reduced. The fabricated angle sensor had a linear range of approximately $70^{\circ}$ and an overall sensitivity of approximately 10 mV.

Our group previously observed the intrinsic stress evolution of Cu thin films during deposition by changing the deposition rate. Intrinsic stress of Cu thin films, which show Volmer-Weber growth, is reported to display three unique stress stages, initial compressive, broad tensile, and incremental compressive stress. The mechanisms of the initial compressive stress and incremental compressive stages remain subjects of debate, despite intensive research inquiries. The tensile stress stage may be related to volume contraction through grain growth and coalescence to reduce over-accumulate Cu adatoms on the film surface. The in-situ intrinsic stresses behavior in Cu thin films was investigated in the present study using a multi-beam curvature measurement system attached to a thermal evaporation device. The effect of substrate surface roughness was monitored by observed the in-situ intrinsic stress behavior in Cu thin films during deposition, using $100{\mu}m$ thick Si(111) wafer substrates with three different levels of surface roughness.

본 연구에서는 벌지 실험을 이용하여 티타늄 박막의 기계적 물성을 측정하였다. 벌지 실험은 외적 지지구조를 가지지 않는 박막 시편의 한 면에 일정한 압력을 가하여 박막의 변위를 측정, 압력과 변위의 관계를 이용하여 박막의 기계적 물성을 측정하는 실험이다. 스퍼터링을 이용해 증착된 티타늄 박막의 두께는 1.0, 1.5, $2.0{\mu}m$ 이고, 물성의 열처리 시간에 대한 영향을 알아보기 위해 증착된 시편은 $600^{\circ}C$에서 각각 150, 300, 600 초 동안 열처리 되었다. 박막의 탄성 계수, 잔류 응력, 항복 응력이 벌지 실험을 통해 측정되었고, 실험 결과 항복 응력은 열처리 시간에 의존하는 특성을 확인하였다. 또한 시편 두께가 감소할수록 강도가 증가하는 크기효과를 관찰하였다.

This dissertation discuses about a ferrite core plasma source using low operating frequency without sputtering problem by the stored electric field. Compared with the conventional RF power system with 13.56MHz switching frequency, the proposed plasma power system is only separated at 400kHz, so that it makes possible to use of low cost switching elements, PWM control and soft switching. Moreover, it could improve the coupling efficiency for plasma and antenna by using the ferrite core in order to transfer the energy of the load This dissertation tried to analyze new plasma generation method for the plasma generation system by modeling the plasma load and grafting the concept of impedance matching in order to interpret it with the formula This dissertation verified the ferrite core inductive coupling plasma source authorized for 400kHz of low frequency power by applying to the semi-conductor ash process thru the measurement of ash capacity and uniformed plasma distribution on the actual wafer.

Tribological behaviors of nitrogen incorporated amorphous diamond-like carbon films were experimentally measured under a vacuum ($3 \times 10^{-5}$ Torr) using a ball (AISI 52100 steel)-on-disk wear-rig. Nitrogen incorporated DLC films were deposited by r.f. plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition method. Mixtures of benzene and ammonia or nitrogen gases were used as the reaction gases for the r.f. PACVD, and Si (100) wafer was used as the substrate. In the tribo-test, effects of DLC film thickness and normal load in friction were measured and discussed. Results showed that friction of nitrogen incorporated DLC films from a mixture gas of benzene and ammonia was lower than that of 100% benzene, specially in the measurement of minimum coefficient of friction. Differences in frictional characteristics of nitrogen incorporated DLC films were explained with the changes in chemical structures of the films. Result also showed that friction of DLC films increased with the sliding contact cycle, which remarkably accompanied with roll-shaped wear debris. Mechanisms and roles of the polymer-like wear debris were presented and discussed.

To realize 10-Gbit/s optical transmission systems, we designed and fabricated a limiting amplifier with extremely high operation frequencies over 10-GHz using AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs), and investigated their performances. Circuit design and simulation were performed using SPICE and LABRA. A discrete AlGaAs/GaAs HBT with the emitter area of 1.5${\times}$10$\mu\textrm{m}$$^2$, used for the circuit fabrication, exhibited the cutoff frequency of 63GHz and maximum oscillation frequency of 50GHz. After fabrication of MMICs, we observed the very wide bandwidth of DC∼15GHz for a limiting amplifier from the on-wafer measurement. Ceramic-packaged limiting amplifier showed the excellent eye opening, the output voltage swing of 750mV\ulcorner, and the rise/fall time of 40ps, measured at the data rates of 10-Gbit/s.
