  • Objectives: The aim of this study is to identify physicochemical properties such as chemical composition, size, shape and crystal structure of powder byproducts generated from a metallization process and its 1st scrubber in the semiconductor industry. Methods: Powder samples were collected from inner chambers during maintenance of the W-plug process equipment (using tungsten hexafluoride as a precursor material) and its 1st scrubber. The chemical composition, size and shape of the powder particles were determined by field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) equipped with an energy dispersive spectroscope (EDS). The crystal structure of the powders was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Results: From the SEM-EDS and TEM-EDS analyses, O and W were mainly detected, which indicates the powder byproducts are tungsten trioxide ($WO_3$), whereas Al, F and Ti were detected as low peaks. The powder particles were spherical and nearly spherical, and the particle size collected from the process equipment and its 1st scrubber showed 10-20 nm (agglomerates: 55-90 nm) and 16-20 nm (agglomerates: 80-120 nm) as primary particles, respectively. The XRD patterns of the yellow powder byproducts exhibit five peaks at $23.8^{\circ}$ $33.9^{\circ}$ $41.74^{\circ}$ $48.86^{\circ}$ and $54.78^{\circ}$ which correspond to the (200), (220), (222), (400), and (420) planes of cubic $WO_3$. Conclusions: We elucidated the physicochemical characteristics of the powder byproducts collected from W-plug process equipment and its 1st scrubber. This study should provide useful information for the development of alternative strategies to improve the working environment and workers' health.

  • We have studied the effect of C/Ti atomic ratio of TiCx (x=0.5, 0.75 and 1.0) raw powder on the properties of the Ti-Mo-WTiC sintered hard alloy. The decrease of C/Ti atomic ratio accelerated the densification in the sintering process. The hardness was remarkably improved up to 1350HV with decreasing the C/Ti atomic ratio because of increase of TiCx phase volume content and its fine dispersion. From the results of electro-chemical tests in acid and 3% NaCl solutions, it was obvious that every alloy had excellent corrosion resistance, which meant about 200 times better than that of WC-Co cemented carbide.
