In this study, the microstructure of the CVD-fabricated Cu(In,Ga)Se₂ (CIGSe) absorber layer by simulating the stacking sequence used in a co-evaporation method, and changes solar cell performance were investigated. The absorber layer prepared by stacking CuSe and (In,Ga)Se between InSe is separated into Ga-free CuInSe₂ and Ga-rich CIGSe, and transformed to CIGSe by selenization heat treatment with slight improvement in the the solar cell efficiency. However, in CVD, since the supply of liquid Cu-Se is not as active as in the co-evaporation method, the nanoocrystalline layer containing a large amount of Ga remained independently in the absorption layer, which acted as a cause of the loss of J_SC and FF. Therefore, by using a precursor structure in which CuGa is sputter-deposited on a single layer of InSe deposited by CVD, performance parameters of V_OC, J_SC, and FF could be greatly improved.

Thin films have been used in a large variety of technological applications such as solar cells, optical memories, photolithographic masks, protective coatings, and electronic contacts. If thin films experience frequent temperature changes, thermal stresses are generated due to the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion between the film and substrate. Thermal stresses may lead to damage or deformation in thin film used in electronic devices and micro-machined structures. Thus, knowledge of the thermomechanical properties of thin films, such as the coefficient of thermal expansion, is an important issue in determining the stability and reliability of the thin film devices. In this study, thermal cycling of Cu and Ag thin films with various microstructures was employed to assess the coefficient of thermal expansion of the films. The result revealed that the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the Cu and Ag thin films increased with an increasing grain size. However, the effect of film thickness on the CTE did not show a remarkable difference.

In this study, we investigated the particle formation during the deposition of borophosphosilicate glass (BPSG) and phosphosilicate glass (PSG) films in thermal chemical vapor deposition reactor using in-situ particle monitor (ISPM) and particle beam mass spectrometer (PBMS) which installed in the reactor exhaust line. The particle current and number count are monitored at set-up, stabilize, deposition, purge and pumping process step in real-time. The particle number distribution at stabilize step was measured using PBMS and compared with SEM image data. The PBMS and SEM analysis data shows the 110 nm and 80 nm of mode diameter for BPSG and PSG process, respectively.

본 논문에서는 건식중합법에 속하는 진공증착 중합법을 이용하여 내열 절연성 박막 을 제작하고 열경화 온도에 따른 박막의 물성과 전기적 특성에 대해 연구하였다. hexafluoroisopropyliden-2,2-bis[phthalicanhydride](6FDA)와 4,4'-diamino diphenyl ether (DDE) 단량체를 화학량론적으로 최적의 온도인 $214^{\circ}C$, $137^{\circ}C$부분에서 같은 증발율을 보일 때 폴리이미드를 형성하였다. 진공증착 중합된 박막은 열경화에 의해 이미드특성 피이크가 증가되며, 폴리아믹산의 형태에서 폴리이미드 형태로 축중합되어짐을 알 수 있었다. 열경화 온도가 증가함에 따라 박막의 두께는 감소되고 굴절율은 증가된다. 열경화 온도가 $300^{\circ}C$인 경우 최적임을 알았고, 이 온도에서 열경화 시킨 폴리이미드의 전기적 특성에서 100Hz~ 200kHz주파수에서는 3.7의 비유전율을 나타내었고, 유전정접은 0.008의 낮은 값을 보였다. 또한, 30~에서 약1.05$\times$1015$\Omega$cm의 저항율을 보였다.

Carbon nanotubes(CNTs) were synthesized by thermal chemical vapor deposition(CVD) method. To fabricate CNT gas sensor, catalyst metal layer was deposited on microstructure. The CNT gas detecting layer was grown by thermal CVD method on the catalyst metal layer. In order to investigate the gas sensing characteristics of the fabricated CNT gas sensor, it was exposed in NO$_2$ gas and sensitivity, response, and recovery time were measured. As the result, this sensor has better reproductibility and faster recovery time than another CNT gas sensors.

The problem of temperature control for rapid thermal processing (RTP) in semiconductor manufacturing is discussed in this paper. Among sub=micron technologies for VLSI devices, reducing the junction depth of doped region is of great importance. This paper investigates existing methods for manufacturing wafers, focusing on the RPT which is considered to be good for formation of shallow junctions and performs the wafer fabrication operation in a single chamber of annealing, oxidation, chemical vapor deposition, etc., within a few minutes. In RTP for semiconductor manufacturing, accurate and uniform control of the wafer temperature is essential. In this paper, a robustr controller is designed using a recently developed optimization technique. The controller designed is then tested via computer simulation and compared with the other results.

Semiconductor carbon nanotube was grown on oxided silicon wafer with Atmosphere Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (APCVD) ethmod and investigated the electrical property after thermal oxidation at 300$^{\circ}C$ in air. The electrical property was measured at room temperature in air after thermal oxidation at 300$^{\circ}C$ for various times in air. Semiconductor carbon nanotube was steadily changed to metallic carbon nanotube as increasing of thermal oxidation times at 300$^{\circ}C$ in air.

RTCVD법으로 $SiH_4$과 $GeH_4$ 가스를 이용하여 oxidized Si 위에 SiH$_4$: $GeH_4$ flow ratio(1 : 0.1~2 : 1), 증착온도(400~$600^{\circ}C$) 그리고 증착압력(1~50 torr)인 조건에서 다결정 $Si_{1-x}Ge_x$박막을 증착하여, 증착변수 변화에따른 $Si_{1-x}Ge_x$ 박막의 Ge 조성 변화와, Ge 조성이 증착속도에 미치는 영향 등에 대해 살펴보았다. 실험결과, 증착온도와 Ge 조성 증가에따라 증착속도는 증가하였으나 증착온도 증가에따라 Ge 조성이 감소하였다. 또한 증착압력 변화에따른 증착속도와 Ge조성 변화는, 증착압력 10 torr까지는 거의 직선적으로 증가하였으나 그이상에서는 서서히 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 이와같이 10 torr 이상의 증착압력에서 증착속도가 서서히 증가하는것은 물질전달 속도에 비해 표면반응 속도가 늦어져 나타난 현상으로 생각된다.

A study on the APCVD(atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition) Al2O3 was done by using the aluminum-tri-isopropoxide/N2 reaction system at 40$0^{\circ}C$. When the flow rate of the carrier gas(N2) was over 2SLPM, heterogeneous reaction was observed. However, when the flow rate of the carrier gas was below 2SLPM, a porously deposited film or powder formation was observed. The film formed by a heterogeneous reaction was optically dense. The dense film is thought to be a kind of a hydrated alumina. After a thermal treatment of the film in the range of temperature from $600^{\circ}C$ to 1, 20$0^{\circ}C$, properties of the film seems to be changed due to dehydration and densification process. In the case of the powder on heat treatment(600~1, 20$0^{\circ}C$), both a phase transformation and the change of OH peak was observed.

The thermal stability of nickel silicide with compressively and tensilely stressed nitride capping layer has been investigated in this study. The Ni (10 nm) and Ni/Co/TiN (7/3/25 nm) structures were deposited on the p-type Si substrate. The stressed capping layer was deposited using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) after silicide formation by one-step rapid thermal process (RTP) at $500^{\circ}C$ for 30 sec. It was found that the thermal stability of nickel silicide depends on the stress induced by the nitride capping layer. In the case of Ni (10 nm) structure, the high compressive sample shows the best thermal stability, whereas in the case of Ni/Co/TiN (7/3/25 nm) structure, the high compressive sample shows the worst thermal stability.
