An extension of the density-gradient model to include the non-local transport effect is presented. The governing equations can be derived from the first three moments of the Wigner distribution function with some approximations. A new nonlinear discretization scheme is applied to the model to reduce the discretization error. We also developed a new boundary condition for the $Si/SiO_2$ interface that includes the electron wavefunction penetration into the oxide to obtain more accurate C-V characteristics. We report the simulation results of a 25-nm metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) device.

We report a simple way of fabricating high-quality carbon nanoscrolls (CNSs) by taking advantage of strain relief due to large difference in strain at the interface of graphene and underlying layer. This method allows strain-controlled self rolling-up of monolayer graphene during etching process at predefined positions on SiO2/Si substrates by photolithography. The size and the length of the CNSs can be easily controlled by adjusting the thickness of the underlying layer and by pre-patterning. Raman spectroscopy studies show that the CNSs is free of significant defects, and the electronic structure and phonon dispersion are slightly different from those of two-dimensional graphene. The preparation of high-quality CNSs may open up new opportunities for both fundamental and applied research of CNSs.

We developed a new systematic calibration procedure which was applied to the calibration of the diffusivity, segregation and TED model of the indium impurity. The TED of the indium impurity has been studied using 4 different groups of experimental conditions. Although the indium is susceptible to the TED, the RTA is effective to suppress the TED effect and maintain a steep retrograde profile. Like the boron, the indium shows significant oxidationenhanced diffusion in silicon and has segregation coefficients at the $Si/SiO_2$ interface much less than 1. In contrast, however, the segregation coefficient of indium decreases as the temperature increases. The accuracy of the proposed technique is validated by SIMS data and $0.13 {\mu}m$ device characteristics such as $V_{th}$ and $Id_{sat}$ with errors less than $5 \%$ between simulation and experiment.

Ferroelectric PZT heterolayered thin films were fabricated by spin coating method on the Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si substrate using PZT(10/90) and PZT(90/10) metal alkoxide solutions. All PZT heterolayered films showed a homogeneous grain structure without presence of the rosette structure. It can be assumed that the lower PZT layers a role of nucleation site or seeding layer for the formation of the upper PZT layer. Zr and Ti diffusion into the Pt electrode were mainly distributed at the surface of Pt electrode beneath the PZT/Pt interface. The PZT/Pt interfacial layer showed a microstructure characterized by a grain phase surrounded by a Pb-deficient pyrochlore matrix phase. The relative dielectric constant and the dielectric loss of the PZT-6 film were 567 and 3.6, respectively.

3 차원 패키징을 위해 열가압 공정으로 제조된 Cu-Cu 접합 계면의 접합 특성을 평가하기 위해 4 점 굽힘 실험을 수행하였다. Cu가 코팅된 Si 웨이퍼 2 장을 $350^{\circ}C$에서 1 시간 동안 15kN 의 하중으로 접합시킨 후, 동일한 온도에서 1 시간동안 어닐닝을 수행하였다. 접합된 웨이퍼를 $30\;mm\;{\times}\;3\;mm$ 크기로 잘라 시험편을 준비하였다. 시험편의 중심에 깊이 $400\;{\mu}m$의 노치를 가공하였다. 시험기에 광학계를 부착하여 노치에서의 크랙 발생과 계면에서의 크랙 진전을 관찰하였다. 일정한 테스트 속도로 실험을 수행하여, 이에 상응하는 하중을 측정하였다. Cu-Cu 접합 계면 에너지는 $10.36\;J/m^2$ 으로 측정되었으며, 파괴된 계면을 분석하였다. 표면 분석 결과, $SiO_2$와 Ti의 계면에서 파괴가 일어났음을 확인하였다.

In this study we investigated the effects of process variables on the bond strength, and its dependency upon the interfacial chemistry when the joined $ZrO_2$ toughened $Na\beta$"-alumina to $\alpha$-alumina using B$_2$$O_3$-$SiO_2$-Al$_2$$O_3$-CaO glass sealant. We observed that bond strength is mainly determined by the strength of the glass, which, in turn, depends on the glass composition established after joining reaction. Joining at $950^{\circ}C$ for 15min yielded the highest average bond strength of 66MPa. Different types of interfacial reaction seem to occur at each interface. After joining at $950^{\circ}C$ for 15min we found that Ca and Si diffuse much deeper(~15$\mu\textrm{m}$) into the $\beta$"-alumina composite than into the $\alpha$-alumina(<1$\mu\textrm{m}$) as a result of ion exchange reaction and more effective grain boundary diffusion. Thermal expansion coefficient of the glass was found to have changed more closely to those of the $\beta$"-alumina composite and $\alpha$-alumina, which put the glass under a slight compressive stress.ressive stress.

A dipolar interlayer can cause dramatic changes in the device characteristics of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) or photovoltaics. A shift in the threshold voltage, for example, has been observed in an OFET where the organic semiconductor active layer is deposited on SiO2 modified with a dipolar monolayer. Dipolar molecules can similarly be used to change the current-voltage characteristics of organic-inorganic heterojunctions. We have conducted a series of experiments in which different molecular linkages are placed between a pentacene thin film and a silicon substrate. Interface modifications with different linkages allow us to predict and examine the nature of tunneling through pentacene on modified Si surfaces with different dipole moment. The molecular-scale structure and the tunneling properties of pentacene thin films on modified Si (001) with nitrobenzene and styrene were examined using scanning tunneling spectroscopy. Electronic interfaces using organic surface dipoles can be used to control the band lineups of a semiconductor at organic/inorganic interfaces. Our results can provide insights into the charge transport characteristics of organic thin films at electronic interfaces.

To investigate the mechanism generated by irradiation in the insulator layer irradiated MIS (Metal - Insulator - Semiconductor) device, the various types of MIS capacitors depending on insulator thickness, insulator types and implanted impurities are fabricated on the P-type wafer. MIS capacitors exposed by 1Mrad Co$^{60}$ .gamma.-ray are measured for flat band voltage and charge density shifts pre- and post-irradiation. The measuring results of post-irradiation show the flat band voltage shifting toward negative direction and charge density increasing regardless of parameters. This results have a good agreement with calculated data by computer simulation. Si$_{3}$N$_{4}$ layers have a good radiation-hardness than SiO$_{2}$ layers compared to the results of post-irradiation. Also, radiation-induced negative trap is discovered in the implanted insulator layer. Using numerical analysis, four continuty equations (conduction-band electrons continuity equation, valence-band holes continuity equation, trapped electrons continuity equation, trapped holes continuity equation) are solved and charge distributions according to the distance and Si-Insulator interface states are investigated.

We have developed a photoemission-assisted plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PAPE-CVD) [1,2], in which photoelectrons emitting from the substrate surface irradiated with UV light ($h{\nu}$=7.2 eV) from a Xe excimer lamp are utilized as a trigger for generating DC discharge plasma as depicted in Fig. 1. As a result, photoemission-assisted plasma can appear just above the substrate surface with a limited interval between the substrate and the electrode (~10 mm), enabling us to suppress effectively the unintended deposition of soot on the chamber walls, to increase the deposition rate, and to decrease drastically the electric power consumption. In case of the deposition of DLC gate insulator films for the top-gate graphene channel FET, plasma discharge power is reduced down to as low as 0.01W, giving rise to decrease significantly the plasma-induced damage on the graphene channel [3]. In addition, DLC thickness can be precisely controlled in an atomic scale and dielectric constant is also changed from low ${\kappa}$ for the passivation layer to high ${\kappa}$ for the gate insulator. On the other hand, negative electron affinity (NEA) of a hydrogen-terminated diamond surface is attractive and of practical importance for PAPECVD, because the diamond surface under PAPE-CVD with H2-diluted (about 1%) CH4 gas is exposed to a lot of hydrogen radicals and therefore can perform as a high-efficiency electron emitter due to NEA. In fact, we observed a large change of discharge current between with and without hydrogen termination. It is noted that photoelectrons are emitted from the SiO2 (350 nm)/Si interface with 7.2-eV UV light, making it possible to grow few-layer graphene on the thick SiO2 surface with no transition layer of amorphous carbon by means of PAPE-CVD without any metal catalyst.
