[ $150^{\circ}C$ ]의 저온에서 플라즈마 화학기상증착 (PECVD) 방법으로 비정질 규소 및 질화규소 박막을 성막 하였다. 비정질 질화규소 박막은 소스 가스의 수소 분율을 증가시킴에 따라 굴절률이 1.9에 접근하고 질소-수소 결합이 주도적이 되어 고온성막한 박막에 버금가는 특성을 보였다. 비정질 규소 박막은 소스 가스의 수소 분율을 높임에 따라 굴절률과 광학적 금지대역의 크기가 고온 성막된 박막의 값인 4.2와 1.8 eV에 근접한 값을 가지게 되었으며, $[Si-H]/([Si-H]+[Si-H_2])$의 값이 증가하여 양질의 박막특성을 얻을 수 있었다. RF 전력 및 증착 압력에 대해서 낮은 전력과 작은 압력에서 양질의 박막을 얻을 수 있었으며, 박막 특성은 RF 전력 보다는 증착 압력의 변화에 대해서 좀더 큰 의존성을 보였다. 박막트랜지스터 제작에 적용 가능한 양질의 비정질 규소 및 질화규소 박막을 저온에서 얻기 위해서는 소스 가스의 수소 분율을 높게 하는 것이 중요한 공통 인자로 파악되었다.

The formation properties and oxidation mechanism of electrochemically oxidized porous silicon(OPS) films have been studied. To examine the humidity-sensitive properties of OPS films, surface-type and bulk-type humidity sensors were fabricated. The oxidized thickness of porous silicon layer(PSL) increases with the charge supplied during electrochemical humidity sensor shows high sensitivity at high relative humidity in low temperature. The sensitivity and linearity can be improved by optimizing a porosity of PSL. (author). refs., figs.

The solid phase compositions and dielectric properties of silicon nitride ($SiN_x$) films prepared using the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technique at a low temperature ($200^{\circ}C$) were studied. Controlling the source gas mixing ratio, R = $[N_2]/[SiH_4]$, and the plasma power successfully produced both silicon-rich and nitrogen-rich compositions in the final films. The composition parameter, X, varied from 0.83 to 1.62. Depending on the film composition, the dielectric properties of the $SiN_x$ films also varied substantially. Silicon-rich silicon nitride (SRSN) films were obtained at a low plasma power and a low R. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of these films revealed the existence of nano-sized silicon particles even in the absence of a post-annealing process. Nitrogen-rich silicon nitride (NRSN) films were obtained at a high plasma power and a high R. These films showed a fairly high dielectric constant ($\kappa$ = 7.1) and a suppressed hysteresis window in their capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics.

Silicon oxynitride films were deposited using ammonia as a nitrogen source via PECVD (plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition) to study the physical properties of the films. Silane and nitrous oxide were used as silicon and oxygen sources, respectively. The composition of the silicon oxynitride films was well controlled by changing the ratios of the sources and confirmed by XPS. The silicon oxynitride films with high oxygen content showed bigger compressive stress and less refractive index, while the values of surface roughness were around 1 nm, irrespective of the variation of the source ratios.

The effect of deposition paratmeters on the solid-phase crystallization of amorphous silicon films deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition has been investigated by x-ray diffraction. The amorphous silicon films were prepared on Si(100) wafers using SiH4 gas with and without H2 dilution at the substrate temperatures between 12$^{\circ}C$ and 38$0^{\circ}C$. The R. F. powers and the deposition pressures were also varied. After crystallizing at $600^{\circ}C$ for 24h, the films exhibited (111), (220), and (311) x-ray diffraction peaks. The (111) peak intensity increased as the substrate temperature decreased, and the H dilution suppressed the crystallization. Increasing R.F. powers within the limits of etching level and increasing deposition pressures also have enhanced the peak intensity. The peak intensity was closely related to the deposition rate, which may be an indirect indicator of structural disorder in amorphous silicon films. Our results are consistent with the fact that an increase of the structural disorder I amorphous silicon films enhances the grain size in the crystallized films.

Silicon carbide (SiC) thin films were deposited on the porous silicon substrates by chemical vapour de-position(CVD) using MTS as a source material. The deposited films were ${\beta}$-SiC with poor crystallity con-firmed by XRD measurement. It was considered that the films showed the mixed characteistics of cry-stalline and amorphous SiC where amorphous SiC where amorphous SiC played a role of buffer layer in interface between as-dep films and Si substrate. The buffer layer reduced lattice mismatch to some extent the generally occurs when SiC films are deposited on Si. The low temperature (10K) PL (phtoluminescence) studies showed two broad bands with peaks at 600 and 720 for the films deposited at 1100$^{\circ}C$ The maximum PL peak of the crystalline SiC was observed at 600 nm and the amrophous SiC of 720 nm was also confirmed. PL peak due the amorphous SiC was smaller than that of the crystalline SiC, PL of porous Si might be disapperared due to densification during heat treatment.

본 연구에서는 산소 함유량이 다른 산화 실리콘 막을 사용하여 실리카 나노 와이어를 형성하고, 실리카 나노 와이어의 미세구조 및 물리적 특성을 Si 웨이퍼를 사용하여 형성된 실리카 나노 와이어와 비교 분석하였다. 산화 실리콘 막은 플라즈마 화학 기상 증착 방법을 사용하여 제조하였으며, 실리카 나노 와이어는 산화 실리콘 막 표면에 촉매 물질로 니켈 막을 진공 증착한 후 열처리를 통해 형성하였다. 산소 함유량이 약 50 at.% 이하의 산화 실리콘 막의 경우 나노 와이어 형성 메커니즘, 미세구조 및 물리적 특성 등에서 실리콘 웨이퍼의 경우와 거의 차이점이 없었으며, 특히 나노 와이어의 굵기의 균일성은 산화 실리콘 막에서 더 우수한 거동을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 저가로 양질의 실리카 나노 와이어를 제조하는 대체재로서 산화 실리콘 막의 유용성을 제시한다.

Silicon antimony films are studied as resistors for uncooled microbolometers. We present the fabrication of silicon films and their alloy films using sputtering and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The sputtered silicon antimony films show a low 1/f noise level compared to plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD)-deposited amorphous silicon due to their very fine nanostructure. Material parameter K is controlled using the sputtering conditions to obtain a low 1/f noise. The calculation for specific detectivity assuming similar properties of silicon antimony and PECVD amorphous silicon shows that silicon antimony film demonstrates an outstanding value compared with PECVD Si film.

Amorphous silicon films were deposited on glass, [100] single crystal silicon wafer with thermally grown silicon dioxide, and [100] silicon wafer substrates by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition(with argon diluted silane source gas). Growth rate, UV optical band edge, and the hydrogen quantity in the amorphous silicon films have been investigated as a function of the preparation conditions by measuring film thickness, UV-absorbency, and FT-IR transmittance. The growth rate of the ${\alpha}$-Si:H films increases with increasing substrate temperture, flow rate and R.F. power density. The UV optical band edge shifts to blue with the increases in the deposition pressure. Increasing substrate temperature shifts the UV optical band edge of the films to red. Hydrogen quantity in the ${\alpha}$-Si:H films increases with an increases in the R.F. powr and decreases with an increase in the substrate temperature.

The poly silicon thin films were prepared by solid phase crystallization at 600$^{\circ}C$ of amorphous silicon films deposited on Corning 7059 glass and (100) silicon wafer with thermally grown SiO$_2$substrate by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition with varying rf power, deposition temperature, total flow rate. Crystallization time, microstructure, absorption coefficients were investigated by RAMAN, XRD analysis and UV transmittance measurement. Crystallization time of amorphous silicon films was increased with increasing rf power, decreasing deposition temperature and decreasing total flow rate.
