Single crystal and polycrystalline Si thin films were doped with phosphorus by a 2-zone diffusion method to develop the low-resistivity polycrystalline Si electrode for a hemispherical grain. Solid phosphorus source was used in order to achieve uniformly and highly doped surface region of polycrystalline Si films having rough surface morphology. In case of 2-zone diffusion method, it is proved that the heavy doping near the surface area can be achieved even at a relatively low temperature. SIMS analysis revealed that phosphorus doping concentration in case of using solid P as a doping source was about 50 times as that of phosphine source at 750$^{\circ}C$. Also, ASR analysis revealed that the carrier concentration was about 50 times as that of phosphine. In order to evaluate the electrical characteristics of doped polycrystalline Si films for semiconductor devices, MOS capacitors were fabricated to measure capacitance of polycrystalline Si films. In ${\pm}$2 V measuring condition, Si films, doped with solid source, have 8% higher $C_{min}$ than that of unadditional doped Si films and 3% higher $C_{min}$ than that of Si films doped with $PH_3$ source. The leakage current of these films was a few fA/${\mu}m^2$. As a result, a 2-zone diffusion method is suggested as an effective method to achieve highly doped polycrystalline Si films even at low temperature.

Uniform polycrystalline $CoSi_2$layers have been grown in situ on a polycrystalline Si substrate at temperature near $625^{\circ}C$ by reactive chemical vapor deposition of cyclopentadienyl dicarbonyl cobalt, Co(η$^{5}$ -C$_{5}$ H$_{5}$ )(CO)$_2$. The growth behavior and thermal stability of $CoSi_2$layer grown on polycrystalline Si substrates were investigated. The plate-like CoSi$_2$was initially formed with either (111), (220) or (311) interface on polycrystalline Si substrate. As deposition time was increasing, a uniform epitaxial $CoSi_2$layer was grown from the discrete $CoSi_2$plate, where the orientation of the$ CoSi_2$layer is same as the orientation of polycrystalline Si grain. The interface between $CoSi_2$layer and polycrystalline Si substrate was always (111) coherent. The growth of the uniform $CoSi_2$layer had a parabolic relationship with the deposition time. Therefore we confirmed that the growth of $CoSi_2$layer was controlled by diffusion of cobalt. The thermal stability of $CoSi_2$layer on small grain-sized polycrystalline Si substrate has been investigated using sheet resistance measurement at temperature from $600^{\circ}C$ to $900^{\circ}C$. The $CoSi_2$layer was degraded at $900^{\circ}C$. Inserting a TiN interlayer between polycrystalline Si and $_CoSi2$layers improved the thermal stability of $CoSi_2$layer up to $900^{\circ}C$ due to the suppression of the Co diffusion.

In this report, the results of a systematic study on the effects of polycrystalline silicon gate depletion on the reliability characteristics of metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) devices were discussed. The devices were fabricated using standard complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) processes, wherein phosphorus ion implantation with implant doses varying from $10^{13}$ to $5{\times}10^{15}cm^{-2}$ was performed to dope the polycrystalline silicon gate layer. For implant doses of $10^{14}/cm^2$ or less, the threshold voltage was increased with the formation of a depletion layer in the polycrystalline silicon gate layer. The gate-depletion effect was more pronounced for shorter channel lengths, like the narrow-width effect, which indicated that the gate-depletion effect could be used to solve the short-channel effect. In addition, the hot-carrier effects were significantly reduced for implant doses of $10^{14}/cm^2$ or less, which was attributed to the decreased gate current under the gate-depletion effects.

The plastic deformation of polycrystalline materials is induced by changes of the microstructure when the loading is beyond the critical state of stress. Constitutive models for the crystal plasticity have the common objective which relates microscopic single crystals in the crystallographic texture to the macroscopic continuum point. In this paper, a new consistent tangent stiffness for the anisotropic elasto-viscoplastic analysis of polycrystalline deformation is developed, which can be used in the finite element analysis for the slip-dominated large deformation of polycrystalline materials. In order to calculate the consistent tangent stiffness, the state function is defined based on the consistency condition between the elastic and plastic stress. The rate of shearing increment($\Delta{\gamma}^{\alpha}$) is calculated with satisfying the consistency condition. The consistency condition becomes zero when the trial resolved shear stress($\tau^{{\alpha}^*}$) becomes resolved shear stress($\tau^{\alpha}$) at every step. Iterative method is utilized to calculate the rate of shearing increment based on the implicit backward Euler method. The consistent tangent stiffness can be formulated by differentiating the rate of shearing increment with total strain increment after the instant rate of shearing increment converges. The proposed tangent stiffness is applied to the ABAQUS/Standard by implementing in the ABAQUS/UMAT.

This study aims at developing the double cantilever beam (DCB) method in order to calculate the bridging stress distribution in polycrystalline aluminas with different grain sizes. In the already existing DCB methods the measured crack opening displacement (COD) in coarse-grained aluminas deviates generally from the calcula-ted one because of the grain-interface bridging in the crack wake. In the current DBC method developed in the present study the effect of the bridging stress was considered in the DCB analysis. whereas the only effect of applied point-loading at the end of DCB specimen was taken into account in the existing DCB analysis The crack closure due to bridging stress was calculated using the power-law relation and the theoretical model developed in Part I of the present paper as bridging stress function and then compared analytically. The limitations of the current DCB methods such as specimen dimensions applied loads and elastic modulus were discussed in detail to provide a reliability of the newly developed DCB analysis for the bridging stress distribu-tion in polycrystalline aluminas.

In-situ doped polycrystalline 3C-SiC thin films were deposited by APCVD at $1200^{\circ}C$ using HMDS(hexamethyildisilane: $Si_2(CH_3)_6)$) as Si and C precursor, and 0 ~ 100 sccm $N_2$ as the dopant source gas. The peak of SiC is appeared in polycrystalline 3C-SiC thin films grown on $SiO_2$/Si substrates in XRD(X-ray diffraction) and FT-IR(Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) analyses. The resistivity of polycrystalline 3C-SiC thin films decreased from 8.35 $\Omega{\cdot}cm$ with $N_2$ of 0 sccm to 0.014 $\Omega{\cdot}cm$ with 100 sccm. The carrier concentration of poly 3C-SiC films increased with doping from $3.0819\times10^{17}$ to $2.2994\times10^{19}cm^{-3}$ and their electronic mobilities increased from 2.433 to 29.299 $cm^2/V{\cdot}S$, respectively.

This study investigated the effect of surface roughness of zinc oxide (ZnO) layer on the growth of polycrystalline Si layer via an Al-induced layer exchange process. It was found that the growth rate, grain size, crystallization fraction, and preferential orientation of the polycrystalline Si layer were strongly influenced by the surface roughness of the underlying ZnO layer. As the roughness of the ZnO surface increased, a higher growth rate (~40 min) and preferential Si (100) orientation were obtained because of the spatial concentration fluctuations in the Al-Si alloy, induced by the surface roughness of the underlying ZnO layer.
