In order to fabricate uncooled IR sensors for pyroelectric applications, multilayered thin films of Pt/PbTiO$_3$/Pt/Ti/Si$_3$N$_4$/SiO$_2$/Si and thermally isolating membrane structures of square-shaped/cantilevers-shaped microstructures were prepared. Cavity was also fabricated via direct silicon wafer bonding and etching technique. Metallic Pt layer was deposited by ion beam sputtering while PbTiO$_3$ thin films were prepared by sol-gel technique. Micromachining technology was used to fabricate microstructured-membrane detectors. In order to avoid a difficulty of etching active layers, silicon-nitride membrane structure was fabricated through the direct bonding and etching of the silicon wafer. Although multilayered thin film deposition and device fabrications were processed independently, these could b integrated to make IR micro-sensor devices.

Spin coater is regarded as a major module rotating at high speed to be used build up polymer resin thin film layer fur bonding process of GaAs wafer. This module is consisted of spin unit for spreading uniformly, align device, resin spreading nozzle and et. al. Specially, spin unit which is a component of module can cause to vibrate and finally affect to the uniformity of polymer resin film layer. For the stability prediction of rotation velocity and uniformity of polymer resin film layer, it is very important to understand the dynamic characteristics of assembled spin coater module and the dynamic response mode resulted from rotation behavior of spin chuck. In this paper, stress concentration mode and the deformed shape of spin chuck generated due to angular acceleration process are presented using analytical method for evaluation of structural safety according to the revolution speed variation of spin unit. And also, deformation form of GaAs wafer due to dynamic behavior of spin chuck is presented fur the comparison of former simulated results.

Al2O3 thin films were deposited on Si-wafer (100) using organo-aluminum compounds at low pressure by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. The vapor of the organo-metallic precursor was carried by pure N2 gas. The deposition rate increased and then saturated as Tsub increased with increasing the AIP flow rate. The main contamination didn't found in deposited films except carbon. The H-O(H2O) IR absorption band decreased in intensity as the deposition temperature increased, and completely disappeared through annealing.

Single-crystal silicon thin films on glass (SOG) and on fused-quartz (SOQ) were prepared using wafer bonding and hydrogen-induced layer transfer. Thinfilm transistors (TFTs) were subsequently fabricated. The high-temperature processed SOQ TFTs show better device performance than the low-temperature processed SOG TFTs. Tensile and compressive strain was measured respectively on SOQ and SOG. Consistent with the tensile strain, enhanced electron effective mobility was measured on the SOQ TFTs.

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.

Nanotribological characteristics between a Si$_3$N$_4$ AFM tip and hydrophobic thin films were experimentally studied. Tests were performed to measure the nano adhesion and friction in both AFM (atomic force microscope) and LFM (lateral force microscope) modes in various .ranges of normal load. Plasma-modified thin polymeric films were deposited on Si-wafer (100). Results showed that wetting angle of plasma-modified thin polymeric film increased with the treating time, which resulted in the hydrophobic surface and the decrease of adhesion and friction. Nanotribological characteristics of these surfaces were compared with those of other hydrophobic surfaces, such as DLC, OTS and IBAD-Ag coated surfaces. Those of OTS coated surface were superior to those of others, though wetting angle of plasma-modified thin polymeric film is higher.

In this study, ZnO is evaporated to be coated on n-type Si wafer substrate. Refractive coefficient of thin film that is evaporating TiO$_2$ onto ZnO increases linearly as thickness is getting thinner to have high value and high angle and it satisfies theoretical equation I(x)=Io exp (-$\alpha$x) theory that represents the strength of photon energy advancing through ZnO thin film. And dielectric constant of TiO$_2$ thin film evaporated onto ZnO is high and $\varepsilon$$_2$ is smaller than $\varepsilon$$_1$. The specimen TiO$_2$ thin film evaporated onto ZnO has much higher dielectric constant when photon energy is increased.

BaTiO$_3$thin film capacitor were prepared on Pt(100)/SiO$_2$/Si(100)wafer by RF sputtering technique. Dielectric and electrical characteristics of the thin film capacitor are investigated. The Dielectric constant and loss were about 683 and 5[%], respectively. We found that the leakage current of thin film capacitor is depend on RF power during deposition. Because of increase of activation energy, leakage current inclosed at high RF power and sheet resistivity of the films was decreased. Swithching voltage of thin film capacitor was 4.4[V]

BaTiO$_3$films in pure Ar atmosphere were prepared by RF sputtering method at low substrate temperature(100$^{\circ}C$). The structural and crystallographic properties were studied with deposition conditions and annealing methodes. Deposition rates and structural properties of BaTiO$_3$ thin filles were investigated by the SEM and X-ray diffraction. The chemical composition of BaTiO$_3$ thin films grown on Si(100) wafer was studied by tole EDS and EPHA. The optimised Ar pressure and RF power were 8[mtorr] and 180[W], respectively. The thickness of BaTiO$_3$ thin films deposited at optimised conditions was ∼3400[${\AA}$], and the dielectric constant of the thin films heat-treated at 750[$^{\circ}C$] for 1[hr] was 259.

Platinum thin films were deposited on Si-wafer by DC rnagnetron sputtering for RTD (resistance thermometer devices). We investigated the physical and electrical characteristics of these films under various conditions, the input power, working vacuum, temperature of substrate and also after annealing these films. The deposition rate was increased with increasing the input power but decreased with increasing Ar gas pressure. The resistivity and sheet resistivity were decreased with increasing the temperature of substrate and the annealing time at 1000.deg. C. At substrate temperature of >$300^{\circ}C$, input power of 7 w/cm$^{2}$, working vacuum of 5 mtorr and annealing conditions of 1000.deg. C and 240 min, we obtained 10.65.mu..ohm..cm, resistivity of Pt thin films and 3800-3900 ppm/.deg. C, TCR(temperature coefficient of resistance). These values are close to the bulk value. These results indicate that the Pt thin films deposited by DC magnetron sputtering have potentiality for the development of Pt RTD temperature sensor.
