  • In this study, transparent conducting Al-doped Zinc Oxide (AZO) films with a thickness of 150 nm were prepared on corning glass substrate by the RF magnetron sputtering with using a Al-doped zinc oxide (AZO), ($Al_2O_3$: 2 wt%) target at room temperature. This study investigated the effect of rapid thermal annealing temperature and oxygen ambient on structural, electrical and optical properties of Al-doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films. The films were annealed at temperatures ranging from 400 to $700^{\circ}C$ by using Rapid thermal equipment in oxygen ambient. The effect of RTA treatment on the structural properties were studied by x-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy. It is observed that the Al-doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin film annealed at $500^{\circ}C$ at 5 minute oxygen ambient gas reveals the strongest XRD emission intensity and narrowest full width at half maximum among the temperature studied. The enhanced UV emission from the film annealed at $500^{\circ}C$ at 5 minute oxygen ambient gas is attributed to the improved crystalline quality of Al-doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin film due to the effective relaxation of residual compressive stress and achieving maximum grain size.

  • The Cu/Cu2O/CuO photoelectrode has been successfully fabricated by Rapid Thermal Annealing technique. The structural characterization of fabricated photoelectrode was performed using X-Ray diffraction, while elemental composition of the prepared material has been checked with X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. The synthesis parameters are optimized on the basis of photoelectrochemical performance. The best photoelectrochemical performance has been observed for the Cu/Cu2O/CuO photoelectrode fabricated at 550 ℃ oxidation temperature and oxidation time of 50 seconds with highest photocurrent density of -3 mA/㎠ at -0.13 V vs. RHE.

  • 유리 기판 위에 증착된 비정질 실리콘 박막의 고상 결정화에 대한 새로운 방법을 제시하였다. 비정질 실리콘 박막의 하부에 패턴 된 다양한 크기의 $TiSi_2$ 박막을 전기저항 가열 방식으로 가열함으로서 비정질 실리콘이 고상 결정화 되도록 하였다. 박막히터를 이용한 열처리는 매우 빠른 열처리 공정으로써, 일반적인 로에 의한 열처리에 비해 매우 낮은 thermal budget을 가지므로, 유리기판 위에서도 고온 열처리가 가능하다는 장점을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 500 $\AA$의 비정질 실리콘 박막을 약 $850^{\circ}C$ 이상의 높은 온도에서 수 초 내에 결정화 할 수 있음을 보였으며, 열처리 조건의 변화에 따른 영향과 지역선택성의 장점을 보였다.

  • Thin (25-103$\AA$) SiO$_2$ films are grown using the rapid thermal oxidation processing at temperatures of 105$0^{\circ}C$-115$0^{\circ}C$ for 5-30 sec, in order to investigate the characteristics of ultra thin oxide. For measuring the thickness of oxide TEM, ellipsometry, and C-V method which is taken in the condition of small surface band bending are used and compared. When neglecting the small deviation affected by both interface state and moisture charge effect, those three methods described above give similar results. In order to examine the effect of rapid thermal annealing, part of samples are annealed in N$_2$ ambient. MOS capacitors are fabricated and the characteristics of I-V and C-V are measured. Measurements show that the activation energy of initial thickness of oxide grown during the ramp-up time is of 1.125eV and the activation energy of the oxidation rate is of 0.98eV. As oxidation temperature is increased, dielectric breakdown field E$_{BD}$ is decreased due to the increase of fixed charge density N$_f$ However, E$_{BD}$ is shown to be decreased as increasing the thickness of oxide. The increase of N$_f$ in the early stage of thermal annealing results in the decrease of E$_{BD}$.

  • 90nm급 게이트로 활용되는 폴리실리콘을 패턴화 하기 위해서 하드 마스크의 채용 등 신공정과 함께 폴리실리콘 자체의 평탄화가 필요하다. 본 연구는 70nm 두께의 LPCVD 폴리실리콘 게이트를 상정하여 열산화막 상부에 기판 전면을 폴리실리콘으로 만들고 쾌속열처리 온도를 달리해가며 40초가 열처리하여 이때의 표면조도의 변화를 광발산 주사전자현미경(FESEM)과 주사탐침현미경(AFM)으로 확인하였다. 폴리실리콘은 $700^{\circ}C\~1100^{\circ}C$ 온도범위에서 표면 응집효과에 의해 고온에서 표면조도가 급격히 증가하는 경향이 있었으며 $700^{\circ}C$-40sec 조건에서 최적 평탄화 효과가 가능하였다.

  • Dinickel-silicide $(Ni_2Si)/glass$ was employed as a counter electrode for a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) device. $Ni_2Si$ was formed by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at $700^{\circ}C$ for 15 seconds of a 50 nm-Ni/50 nm-Si/glass structure. For comparison, $Ni_2Si$ on quartz was also prepared through conventional electric furnace annealing (CEA) at $800^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. XRD, XPS, and EDS line scanning of TEM were used to confirm the formation of $Ni_2Si$. TEM and CV were employed to confirm the microstructure and catalytic activity. Photovoltaic properties were examined using a solar simulator and potentiostat. XRD, XPS, and EDS line scanning results showed that both CEA and RTA successfully led to tne formation of nano $thick-Ni_2Si$ phase. The catalytic activity of $CEA-Ni_2Si$ and $RTA-Ni_2Si$ with respect to Pt were 68 % and 56 %. Energy conversion efficiencies (ECEs) of DSSCs with $CEA-Ni_2Si$ and $RTA-Ni_2Si$catalysts were 3.66 % and 3.16 %, respectively. Our results imply that nano-thick $Ni_2Si$ may be used to replace Pt as a reduction catalytic layer for a DSSCs. Moreover, we show that nano-thick $Ni_2Si$ can be made available on a low-cost glass substrate via the RTA process.

  • InP에서 열처리 온도와 시간 및 활성화 온도에 따른 Zn의 확산의 특성을 electrochemical capacitance-voltage 법으로 조사하였다. InP층은 metal organic chemical vapor deposition를 이용하여 성장하였으며, 화산방법으로는 $Zn_3P_2$ 확산과 박막과 rapid thermal annealing를 사용하였다. 최대의 정공 농도를 갖는 p-lnP 층은 $550^{\circ}C$에서 5분 동안 확산과 활성화를 한 시료에서 얻었고, Zn의 농도는 $1\times10^{19}\textrm{cm}^{-3}$이었다. $550^{\circ}C$에서 5-20 분 동안 확산을 수행한 결과 정공농도의 확산 깊이는 1.51 $\mu\textrm{m}$에서 3.23 $\mu\textrm{m}$로 이동하였고, Zn의 확산계수는 $5.4\times10^{-11}\textrm{cm}^2$/sec이었다. 활성화 시간의 증가로, Zn가 더 깊게 확산하지만, 정공농도는 거의 변화가 없었다. 이는 도핑된 영역의 과잉의 침입형 Zn가 도핑되지 않은 영역으로 빠르게 확산하고 치환형 Zn로 변한다는 것을 의미한다. 정공농도는 $SiO_2$ 박막의 두께가 1,000$\AA$ 이상이어야 안정적으로 분포된다.
