고이온밀도 플라즈마 식각에 의한 고종횡비, 고이방성을 갖는 ZnO, $SnO_2$ 나노 구조 가스 감응층 형성을 위하여 mask 재료들과의 식각 선택도를 조사하였다. $25BCl_3$/10Ar ICP 플라즈마에서는 ZnO와 Ni 간 5.1~6.1 범위의 식각 선택도가 확보된 반면에 Al의 경우 효율적인 식각 선택도를 확보할 수 없었다. $25CF_4$/10Ar ICP 플라즈마에서는 ZnO와 Ni 간에 7~17 범위의 높은 식각 선택도를 얻을 수 있었다. $SnO_2$는 $SnF_x$ 식각 생성물의 높은 휘발성에 기인하여 Ni에 비해 매우 높은 식각 속도를 나타내었고, 최고치 약 67의 매우 높은 식각 선택도를 확보하였다.

Etch rates up to 120 nm/min for $Ta_{2}O_{5}$ were achieved in both $SF_{6}/Ar$ and $Cl_{2}/Ar$ discharges. The effect of ultraviolet (UV) light illumination during ICP etching on $Ta_{2}O_{5}$ etch rate in those plasma chemistries was examined and UV illumination was found to produce significant enhancements in $Ta_{2}O_{5}$ etch rates most likely due to photoassisted desorption of the etch products. The effects of ion flux, ion energy, and plasma composition on (Ba, Sr)$TiO_3$ etch rate were examined and maximum etch rate ~90 nm/min was achieved in $Cl_{2}/Ar$ ICP discharges while $CH_{4}/H_{2}/Ar$ chemistry produced extremely low etch rates (${\leq}10\;nm/min$) under all conditions.

AZO (ZnO:Al) were fabricated by RF magnetron sputtering In $H_2/Ar(5%\;H_2)$ atmosphere, and structural, electrical and optical properties were investigated. The substrate temperatures were varied at RT, $100^{\circ}C,\;150^{\circ}C$ and$200^{\circ}C$. The resistivity of the films grown in $H_2/Ar(5%\;H_2)$ were reduced from $7.67{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}\;cm$ to $5.95{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}\;cm$ comparing that Ar (100%) and the transmittance of the ZnO:Al films in the visible range was 85%.

This paper presents a process optimization of antireflection (AR) coating on crystalline Si solar cells. Theoretical and experimental investigations were performed on a double-layer AR (DLAR) coating of MgF$_2$/CeO$_2$. We investigated CeO$_2$ films as an AR layer because they have a proper refractive index of 2.46 and demonstrate the same lattice constant as Si substrate. RF sputter grown CeO$_2$ film showed strong dependence on a deposition temperature. The CeO$_2$ deposited at 40$0^{\circ}C$ exhibited a strong (111) preferred orientation and the lowest surface roughness of 6.87 $\AA$. Refractive index of MgF$_2$ film was measured as 1.386 for the most of growth temperature. An optimized DLAR coating showed a reflectance as low as 2.04% in the wavelengths ranged from 0.4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 1.1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. We achieved the efficiencies of solar cells greater than 15% with 3.12% improvement with DLAR coatings. Further details on MgF$_2$, CeO$_2$ films, and cell fabrication parameters are presented in this paper.

In this study, $CeO_2$thin films were etched with an addition of $Cl_2$gas to $Ar/CF_4$gas mixing in an inductively coupled plasma(ICP) etcher. The surface reactions of the etched $_CeO2$thin films were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). It was analyzed that Ce peaks were mainly observed in Ce-O bonds formed $CeO_2$or $CeO_3$compounds. Cl peaks were detected by the peaks of Cl $2p_{3/2}$ and Cl $2p_{1/2}$. Almost all of Cl atoms were combined with Ce atoms like $CeCl_{x}$ compounds.

In this study, the etch properties of $Al_2O_3$ thin films deposited by atomic layer deposition were investigated as a function of the $O_2$ content in $BCl_3$/Ar inductively coupled plasma. The experiments were performed by comparing the etch rates and selectivity of $Al_2O_3$ over the hard mask materials as functions of the input plasma parameters, such as the gas mixing ratio, DC-bias voltage, ratio-frequency (RF) power and process pressure. The highest obtained etch rate was 477 nm/min at an RF power of 700 W, $O_2$ to $BCl_3$/Ar gas ratio of 15%, DC-bias voltage of -100 V and process pressure of 15 mTorr. The deposition occurred on the surfaces when the amount of $O_2$ added to the $BCl_3$/Ar gas was too high at a low DC-bias voltage or high process pressure. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to investigate the chemical reactions on the etched surface.

Glass/SiNx/ZnO 적층 박막구조의 SAW 특성 변화를 분석하였다. ZnO 박막은 rf magnetron sputter를 이용하여, 산소를 반응성 가스로 Ar과 함께 진공챔버내에 주입시켜 증착하였고, 주로 산소량에 따른 박막의 특성변화를 관찰하였다. 산소분압은 ZnO 박막의 증착속도 및 결정성에 많은 영향을 주고 있었으며, rocking curve의 결과에 의하면 (002) 배향성을 가진 ZnO 박막의 c-축 수직도가 Ar과 산소의 유량비가 67/33에서 가장 좋은 2.17도를 보여주고 있다. 이 값은 ZnO 박막을 압전요소로 사용하기에 충분한 조건이다. SiNx의 두께를 7000Å, ZnO 박막의 두께를 5μm로 한 glass/SiNx/Al/ZnO의 박막 적층 구조의 SAW 특성을 보면 ZnO/glass 구조와 비교시 SAW 속도가 최대 2.2%까지 증가했음을 알 수 있었다.

Etching behaviors of ferroelectric YMn $O_3$ thin films were studied by an inductively coupled plasma (ICP). Etch characteristic on ferroelectric YMn $O_3$ thin film have been investigated in terms of etch rate, selectivity and etch profile. The maximum etch rate of YMn $O_3$ thin film is 300 $\AA$/min at Ar/C $l_2$ of 2/8, RF power of 800W, dc bias voltage of 200V, chamber pressure of 15mTorr and substrate temperature of 3$0^{\circ}C$. Addition of C $F_4$ gas decrease the etch rate of YMn $O_3$ thin film. From the results of XPS analysis, Y $F_{X}$ compunds were found on the surface of YMn $O_3$ thin film which is etched in Ar/C1/C $F_4$ plasma. The etch profile of YMn $O_3$ film is improved by addition of C $F_4$ gas into the Ar/C $l_2$ plasma. These results suggest that fluoride yttrium acts as a sidewall passivants which reduce the sticking coefficient of chlorine on YMn $O_3$.>.

In this study, the characterizations of oxide contact hole etching are investigated with C₄F₈/O₂/Ar and CH₂F₂/C₄F₈/O₂/ Ar plasma. As the percent composition of C₄F₈ in a C₄F₈/O₂/Ar mixture increases, the amount of polymer deposited on the etched surface also increases because the C_xF_y polymer layer retards the reaction of oxygen atoms with PR. Adding CH₂F₂ into the C₄F₈/O₂/Ar plasma increases the etch rate of the oxide and the selectivity of oxide to PR. The profile of contact holes was close to 90°, and no visible residue was seen in the SEM image at a C₄F₈/(C₄F₈+O₂) ratio of 58%. The changes of chemical composition in the chamber were analyzed using optical emission spectroscopy, and the chemical reaction on the etched surface was investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

The (Ba,Bi,Sr)TiO$_3$[BBST] thin films were fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$ /Si substrate by RF sputtering method. The effects of Ar/O$_2$ ratio on the structural and dielectric properties of BBST thin films were investigated. Increasing the Ar/O$_2$ ratio, the intensity of BaBi$_4$Ti$_4$O$_{15}$ and Bi$_4$Ti$_3$O$_{12}$ peaks were increased but (Ba$_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$)TiO$_3$ peak was decreased. In the BBST thin films deposited with condition of Ar/O$_2$(90/10) ratio, the composition ratio of the Ba, Bi and Sr atoms were 0.35, 0.25 and 0.4 respectively. The Bi and Ti atoms were diffused into the Pt layers. Increasing the Ar/O$_2$ ratio, the dielectric constant of the BBST thin films were increased but the dielectric loss of the BBST thin films were decreased. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the BBST deposited at 90/10 of Ar/O$_2$ ratio were 319 and 2.2%. respectively . Increasing the applied voltage, the capacitance of the BBST thin films were decreased.reased.
