  • In order to simulate OLED evaporation process, modeling of directional distribution of the vaporized organic materials, film thickness distribution profile and pattern-mask shadow effect are required In accordance with many literatures; all of them except shadow effect modeling are studied and developed. In this paper, modeling algorithm of evaporation shadow is presented for process simulation of full-color OLED evaporating system. In OLED evaporating process the offset position of the point cell-source against the substrate rotation axis and the usage of the patterned mask are the principal causes for evaporation shadow. For geometric simulation of shadow using z-map, the film thickness profile, which is condensed on a glass substrate, is converted to the z-map data. In practical evaporation process, the glass substrate is rotated. This physical fact is solved and modeled mathematically for z-map simulation. After simulating the evaporation process, the z-map data can present the shadow-effected film thickness profile. Z-map is an efficient method in that the cross-sectional presentations of the film thickness profile and thickness distribution evaluation are easily and rapidly achieved.

  • High quality lead titanate thin films were fabricated by spin coating on a silicon substrate. The resulting dried gel layers were uniform in thickness through 2$\times$2 $\textrm{cm}^2$ area, and polycrystalline perovskite structures developed almost crack free with a heat treatment above 50$0^{\circ}C$ in films with thickness above 360 nm. Metastable pyrochlore structures were observed in films with thickness of 160 nm when heat treated at 500 and $600^{\circ}C$, but these structure did not appear in films with thickness of 360 nm. The thickness dependence in crystal structure of films was studied. by varying the substrate condition and analyzing the interface between the film and substrate. In native oxide films on silicon stbstrates, amorphous dried gel layers were heterogeneously nucleated. Metastable cubic pyrochlore structure could be crystallized in amorphous native oxide.

  • The critical thickness of an epitaxial film on a substrate in electronic or optoelectronic devices is studied on the basis of equilibrium dislocation analysis. Two geometric models, a single dislocation and an array of dislocations in heteroepitaxial system, are considered respectively to calculate the misfit dislocation formation energy. The isotropic linearly elastic stress fields for the models are obtained by means of complex potential method combined with alternating technique, and are used for calculating the formation energies. As a result, the effect of elastic mismatch between film and substrate on critical thickness is presented and $Si_xGe_{1-x}/Si$ epitaxial structure is analyzed to predict the critical thickness with varying germanium concentration.

  • Zirconia coatings are performed by the plasma spraying on the substrate of Al-Si alloy. In case of plasma sprayed ceramic coatings, it is important to control properly residual stress occurred during cooling process. Residual stress in coating layer varies with sprayed conditions and is influenced greatly by the coating layer thickness. Surface residual stress due to coating layer thickness is measured by X-ray diffraction method and the residual stress in coating layer is estimated by the deflection of coating layer when the restraint force in substrate was removed. When zirconia was coated on the substrate, tensile residual stress remains on zirconia coated surface layer. The tensile stress is increased to 0.35mm thickness and after 0.45mm thickness it is decreased abrouptly. A thick bond and composite coating reduce the zirconia surface stress and composite coating controls effectively the thick zirconia surface stress.

  • High temperature anneal of W-rich silicides, inferior to adherence compared with Si-rich silicides, resulted in the film peeling off from the Si-substrate when WSix thickness reached more than critical thickness. Investigation of the W-rich silicide films peeling off from the substrate revealed that the voids underneath the $WSi_2$ produced through silicide reaction were responsible for the poor adherence of W-rich silicide. In addition, internal stress in the film increased as the silicide thickness increased. In order to promote the adhesion of WSix to Si-substrate, thin Ti-layer was formed between WSi and Si-substrate(WSix/Ti/Si). No voids were observed in $WSi_2$/Ti/Si $N_2$-annealed at $1000^{\circ}C$, thereby leading to an increase of the critical thickness from ~1700$\AA$ to more than 2500$\AA$. However, higher resisiti-vity was obtained in WSix/Ti/Si than in WSix/Si. Finally, different silicide reaction mechanism for the structures(WSix/Si, WSix/Ti/Si) was proposed to explain the formation of voids as well as the role of thin Ti-layer.

  • This paper presents the performance of a planar, low-profile, and wide-gain-bandwidth leaky-wave slit antenna in different thickness values of high-permittivity gallium arsenide substrates at terahertz frequencies. The proposed antenna designs consisted of a periodic array of $5{\times}5$ metallic square patches and a planar feeding structure. The patch array was printed on the top side of the substrate, and the feeding structure, which is an open-ended leaky-wave slot line, was etched on the bottom side of the substrate. The antenna performed as a Fabry-Perot cavity antenna at high thickness levels ($H=160{\mu}m$ and $H=80{\mu}m$), thus exhibiting high gain but a narrow gain bandwidth. At low thickness levels ($H=40{\mu}m$ and $H=20{\mu}m$), it performed as a metasurface antenna and showed wide-gain-bandwidth characteristics with a low gain value. Aside from the advantage of achieving useful characteristics for different antennas by just changing the substrate thickness, the proposed antenna design exhibited a low profile, easy integration into circuit boards, and excellent low-cost mass production suitability.

  • This paper describes on the fabrication of a SOI substrate by SDB technology and electrochemical etch-stop. The surface of the thinned SDB SOI substrate is more uniform than that of grinding or polishing by mechanical method, and this process was found to be very accurate method for SOI thickness control. During electrochemical etch-stop, leakage current versus voltage curves were measured for analysis of the open current potential (OCP) point, the passivation potential (PP) point and anodic passivation potential. The surface roughness and the controlled thickness selectivity of the fabricated a SDB SOI substrate were evaluated by using AFM and SEM, respectively.

  • The growth thickness uniformity of epitaxial layers deposited using a moiecular beam epitaxy system is calculated from the arrangement of molecular beam source and the substrate and the geometric dimensions of the crucible in order to predict the optimum design conditions of the prototype MBE system. The thickness uniformity better than 5% over a 3-inch wafer can be obtained by keeping the distance between the substrate and the crucible's orifice longer than 20cm, the tapering angle of the crucible larger than 6$^{\circ}$, and the angle between the normal to the substrate at the center and the crucible axis as larger as possible. In addition, the growth yield decreases to below 51% as the distance between the substrate and the orifice becomes longer than 25cm.

  • In this study, the effect of solar cell cover glass on the solar cell performance is evaluated. Silicon solar cell (active area:4*6cm, efficiency:12.6% at AMO condition) is used for this study. ITO(Indium tin Oxide) film thickness of the ITO/AR/substrate glass/solar cell structure samples are $40{\AA}$, $60{\AA}$, $160{\AA}$, $240{\AA}$ respectively. The solar cell maximum output power on the stacking structure variations showed 465mW in the AR/ITO/substrate glass/solar cell, and minimum output power showed 403mW in the AR/substrate glass/solar cell. The maximum output power of the solar cell on the ITO thickness variations of the ITO/AR/substrate glass/solar cell showed 460mW at $40{\AA}$ then decrease output power as ITO thickness increase. For environment tests, all samples are exposed UV light in the vacuum chanber. The output power degradation of AR(UVR)/substrate glass/solar cell stacking structure is small compared with ITO/AR(UVR)/substrate glass/solar cell stacking structure.
