트랜지스터 응용 등에 관한 연구가 활발해 지면서 에너지 밴드갭이 0 eV에 가까운 그래핀 이외의 밴드 갭 조절이 가능한 MoS2 (molybdenum disulfide), BN (boron nitride), Bi2Te3 (bismuth telluride), WS2 (tungsten disulfide) 등과 같은 이차원 Transition Metal DiChalcogenides (TMDC) 물질이 반도체 물질로 각광받고 있다. 특히 MoS2의 경우 단결정 덩어리 상태에서는 약 1.3 eV의 밴드갭을 가지나 두께가 줄어들어 두 층일 경우에는 약 1.65 eV, 단일층이 되면 약 1.9 eV의 밴드갭을 가져 박막 층수에 따라 에너지 밴드갭 조절이 가능한 것으로 알려져있다. 하지만 두께 조절이 가능하면서 대면적, 고품질을 가지는 MoS2 박막 합성은 아직 제한적이라 할 수 있으며 새로운 방법 및 물질에 대한 연구가 지속적으로 이루어 지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다양한 층수를 지니는 MoS2 합성을 위해 나노 두께의 MoS2 박막을 CF4 plasma 를 이용하여 layer etching 진행하고 CF4 plasma 100초 etching 진행한 2 layer 두께의 MoS2를 기준으로 H2S plasma를 이용하여 treatment 진행하였다. 물리적, 화학적 분석은 Raman spectroscopy, XPS(X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy), AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy) 등을 이용해 진행하였고 이를 통해 MoS2 layer 감소 및 damage recovery 등을 확인하였다.

This study discussed the effect of ink adhesion on color filter glass after different kinds of plasma treatment. From contact angle analysis, we could get different ink adhesion results after HMDSZ, $O_2$, IPA, and $CF_4$ plasma treatment. Substrates after PFMCH plasma treatment have good surface hydrophobic property, and contact angle raise from $<10^{\circ}\;to\;50^{\circ}$.

Robust identification of genetic alterations is important for the diagnosis and subsequent treatment of tumors. Screening for genetic alterations using tumor tissue samples may lead to biased interpretations because of the heterogeneous nature of the tumor mass. Liquid biopsy has been suggested as an attractive tool for the non-invasive follow-up of cancer treatment outcomes. In this study, we aimed to verify whether the mutations identified in primary tumor tissue samples could be consistently detected in plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) by digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR). We first examined the genetic alteration profiles of three colorectal cancer (CRC) tissue samples by targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) and identified 11 non-silent amino acid changes across six cancer-related genes (APC, KRAS, TP53, TERT, ARIDIA, and BRCA1). All three samples had KRAS mutations (G12V, G12C, and G13D), which were well-known driver events. Therefore, we examined the KRAS mutations by dPCR. When we examined the three KRAS mutations by dPCR using tumor tissue samples, all of them were consistently detected and the variant allele frequencies (VAFs) of the mutations were almost identical between targeted NGS and dPCR. When we examined the KRAS mutations using the plasma cfDNA of the three CRC patients by dPCR, all three mutations were consistently identified. However, the VAFs were lower (range, 0.166% to 2.638%) than those obtained using the CRC tissue samples. In conclusion, we confirmed that the KRAS mutations identified from CRC tumor tissue samples were consistently detected in the plasma cfDNA of the three CRC patients by dPCR.

In order to produce a water repellent surface on polyester fabric, samples were treated in the atmosphere of $CF_4$ glow discharge plasma. The samples used in the study were ployester fabric and poyester film. The purpose of film treatment is for the comparison of hydrophobicity with fabric sample at same treatment condition. Radio frequency(13.56MHz) generator was used as electric source and its in put power is 100 Watt. Water repellency was evaluated by contact angle measurement. Result obtained are as follows. 1) Fiber interstice of original fabric was ana lysed as 0.43$\mu$m, and this value was sufficiently ideal for making water repellent fabric. 2) The most favorable setting position of substrate was the center area between two electrodes. 3) Fabric contact angle was higher than film contact angle at same treatment condition, and its difference was more than 50${\circ}$. And it was incapalbe of fabric contact angle measurement when the film contact angle was less than 90${\circ}$. because the fabric is susceptible to absorption of water by the capillary effect. 4) Fabric contact angle can not revealed the precise defferences of surface hydrophobicity, however, the film contact angle showed the real hydrophobic nature. 5) It was not sufficient method to evaluate the hydrophobicity of fabric surface by merely measure of the water contact angle. 6) It showed high water repellent nature at 0.06 torr of $CF_4$ plasma gas pressure and duration of 45 seconds treatment, and it can not be anticipated more improved nature if the pressure and duration of treatment time were increased.

Superhydrophobic surfaces on alloyed steels were fabricated with a non-conventional method of plasma etching and subsequent water immersion procedure. High aspect ratio nanopatterns of nanoflake or nano-needle were created on the steels with various Cr content in its composition. With CF4 plasma treatment in radio-frequence chemical vapor deposition (r.-f. CVD) method, steel surfaces were etched and fluorinated by CF4 plasma, which induced the nanopattern evolution through the water immersion process. It was found that fluorine ion played a role as a catalyst to form nanopatterns in water elucidated with XPS and TEM analysis. The hierarchical patterns in micro- and nano scale leads to superhydrophobic properties on the surfaces by deposition of a hydrophobic coating with a-C:H:Si:O film deposited with a gas precursor of hexamethlydisiloxane (HMDSO) with its lower surface energy of 24.2 mN/m, similar to that of curticular wax covering lotus surfaces. Since this method is based on plasma dry etching & coating, precise patterning of surface texturing would be potential on steel or metal surfaces. Patterned hydrophobic steel surfaces were demonstrated by mimicking the Robinia pseudoacacia or acacia leaf, on which water was collected from the humid air using a patterned hydrophobicity on the steels. It is expected that this facile, non-toxic and fast technique would accelerate the large-scale production of superhydrophobic engineering materials with industrial applications.

In this study, DLC films deposited by PECVD were evaluated to the properties of super-hydrophobic by CF₄ treatment. The structure of DLC films were confirmed by Raman Spectra whether or not mixed sp³ (like diamond) peak and sp² (like graphite) peak. And the hydrogen contents in the DLC films (F-DLC) were measured by RBS analysis. In addition, DLC films were analyzed by scratch test for adhesion, nano-indentation for hardness and tribo-meter of Ball-on-disc type for friction coefficient. In the result of analysis, DLC films had traditional structure regardless of variation of hardness at constant conditions. Also adhesion of DLC film was increased as higher material hardness. Otherwise, friction coefficient was increased as lower material hardness. The DLC films were treated by CF₄ plasma treatment to enhance the properties of super-hydrophobic. And the DLC films were measured by ESEM(Enviromental Scanning Electron Microscope) for water condensation.

본 연구에서는 반도체 제조 공정에서 발생되는 과불화화합물을 고온 플라즈마를 활용하여 분해하고자 하였고, 분해 특성을 조사하였다. 실험에 사용된 PFCs 가스는 200 L/min의 유량에 농도 5,000 ppm으로 주입하였다. 인입 전력에 따른 분해 효율 분석 결과 $CF_4$ 및 $SF_6$ 모두 12.8 kW의 전력에서 최고 효율을 나타내었고 그 이상의 전력에서는 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았다. PFCs의 재결합 방지를 위한 반응수 주입 실험 결과 약 14 mL/min의 유량에서 최고 효율을 나타내었으며 14 mL/min을 기준으로 유량이 증가하거나 감소함에 따라 모두 처리효율이 감소하였다. 연구 결과 고온 플라즈마를 활용한 PFCs의 분해 특성을 파악할 수 있었고 또한 반도체 제조 공정에서 발생하는 PFCs 및 온실가스에 처리에 대한 기초를 마련하였다.

The wetting property of polymer surfaces is very important for practical applications. Plasma source ion implantation technique was used to improve the wetting properties of polymer surfaces. Poly(ethylene terephtalate) and other polymer sheets were mounted on the target stage and an RF plasma was generated by means of an antenna located inside the vacuum chamber. High voltage pulses of up to -10kV, 10 $\mu$sec, and up to 1 kHz were applied to the stage. The samples were implanted for 5 minutes with using Ar, $N_2,O_2,CH_4,CF_4$ and their mixture as source gases. A contact angle meter was used to measure the water contact angles of the implanted samples and of the samples stored in ambient conditions after implantation. The modified surfaces were analysed with Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometer (TOF-SIMS) and Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES). The oxygen-implanted samples showed extremely low water contact angles of $3^{\circ}C$ compared to $79^{\circ}C$ of unimplanted ones. Furthermore, the modified surfaces were relatively stable with respect to aging in ambient conditions, which is one of the major concerns of the other surface treatment techniques. From TOF-SIMS analysis it was found that oxygen-containing functional groups had been formed on the implanted surfaces. On the other hand, the $CF_4$-implanted samples turned out to be more hydro-phobic than unimplanted ones, giving water contact angles exceeding $100^{\circ}C$ . The experiment showed that plasma source ion implantation is a very promising technique for polymer surface modification especially for large area treatment.

This paper demonstrates the effect of fluoride-based plasma treatment on the performance of $Al_2O_3/AlGaN/GaN$ metal-insulator-semiconductor heterostructure field effect transistors (MISHFETs) with a T-shaped gate length of $0.20{\mu}m$. For the fabrication of the MISHFET, an $Al_2O_3$ layer as a gate dielectric was deposited using atomic layer deposition, which greatly decreases the gate leakage current, followed by the deposition of the silicon nitride layer. The silicon nitride layer on the gate foot region was then selectively removed through a reactive ion etching technique using $CF_4$ plasma. The etching process was continued for a longer period of time even after the complete removal of the silicon nitride layer to expose the $Al_2O_3$ gate dielectric layer to the plasma environment. The thickness of the $Al_2O_3$ gate dielectric layer was slowly reduced during the plasma exposure. Through this plasma treatment, the device exhibited a threshold voltage shift of 3.1 V in the positive direction, an increase of 50 mS/mm in trans conductance, a degraded off-state performance and a larger gate leakage current compared with that of the reference device without a plasma treatment.

반도체 공정에서 필수적인 공정가스가 유해가스이기 때문에 이를 친환경적으로 해결하는 것이 필수과제이다. 현재 반도체 공정에서 사용되는 세정기술은 대부분이 1970년대 개발된 과산화수소를 근간으로 하는 습식 세정으로, 표면의 입자를 제거하기 위한 SC-1 세정액은 암모니아와 과산화수소 혼합액을 사용하고 있다. 따라서 환경적 문제를 유발하며, 또한 과도한 용수 사용으로 인한 경제적 문제도 심각하다. 이러한 이유로 본 연구를 통한 개발 제품은 챔버 출구에서 나오는 공정 유해가스를 진공펌프에 입력되기 전 가스를 분해하여 해가 없는 가스로 만들거나 소각과 동시에 펌프에 가스의 성분이 증착되어 반도체 공정의 환경적 문제를 해결하고자 한다. 본 논문에서는 반도제 공정에서 필수 불가결하게 사용되는 유해가스(N2, CF4, SF6⋯. 등)를 사람에게 무해한 가스로 치환하거나 플라스마로 소각하여 환경을 살리고 생산성 향상이 되도록 제안된 CPS (Confined Plasma Source)를 연구하고자 한다.
