비메모리 반도체 미세 Cu배선의 전기적 신뢰성 향상을 위해 SiN_x 피복층(capping layer)과 Cu 배선 사이 50 nm 두께의 Co 박막층 삽입이 계면 신뢰성에 미치는 영향을 double-cantilever beam (DCB) 접착력 측정법으로 평가하였다. DCB 평가 결과 SiN_x/Cu 구조는 계면접착에너지가 0.90 J/㎡이었으나 SiN_x/Co/Cu 구조에서는 9.59 J/㎡으로 SiN_x/Cu 구조보다 약 10배 높게 측정되었다. 대기중에서 200℃, 24시간 동안 후속 열처리 진행한 결과 SiN_x/Cu 구조는 0.93 J/㎡으로 계면접착에너지의 변화가 거의 없는 것으로 확인되었으나 SiN_x/Co/Cu 구조에서는 2.41 J/㎡으로 열처리 전보다 크게 감소한 것을 확인하였다. X-선 광전자 분광법 분석 결과 SiN_x/Cu 도금층 사이에 Co를 증착 시킴으로써 SiN_x/Co 계면에 CoSi₂ 반응층이 형성되어 SiN_x/Co/Cu 구조의 계면접착에너지가 매우 높은 것으로 판단된다. 또한 대기중 고온에서 장시간 후속 열처리에 의해 SiN_x/Co 계면에 지속적으로 유입된 산소로 인한 Co 산화막 형성이 계면접착에너지 저하의 주요인으로 판단된다.

MOSFET 구조의 차세대 Oxide 박막으로 주목받고 있는 $HfO_X$박막을 rf magnetron sputter를 이용하여 Si(100) 기판 위에 증착하였다. 증착시 산소의 유량을 5, 10, 15 sccm으로 변화를 주며 증착하였고 이후 furnace에서 400부터 $800^{\circ}C$까지 질소분위기로 열처리 하였다. 실험결과 $HfO_X$ 박막의 전기적 특성은 산소유량 증가에 따라 누설전류 특성이 향상되었으나, 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라서는 감소하였다. 특히, 이 논문에서는 Nano-indenter와 AFM으로 $HfO_X$ 박막의 nanomechanics 특성을 측정하였다. 측정 결과에 의하면 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 최대 압입력을 기준으로 최대 압입 깊이가 24.9 nm에서 38.8 nm로 증가하였으며 특히 $800^{\circ}C$ 열처리된 박막에서 압입 깊이가 급격하게 증가하였다. 이러한 압입 깊이의 급격한 증가는 박막내 응력 완화에 의한 스트레스 변화로 예상되며, 그 원인으로 증착시 박막내 포함된 산소가 열처리 조건에 의해 빠져나감에 의한 것으로 판단된다.

24시간/7일 동안 높은 관전압 하에서 높은 프레임 속도로 검사 대상체의 불량을 검사하는 산업용 동영상 엑스레이 디텍터의 중요한 요구사양은 높은 방사선 내구성을 확보하는 것이다. 본 연구는 비정질 실리콘 (a-Si), 다결정 실리콘 (Poly-Si), In-Ga-Zn-O 산화물 (IGZO) 등의 반도체 층을 갖는 다양한 박막트랜지스터를 제작하여 각각의 방사선 내구성을 확인하였다. a-Si TFT 대비 수십 배 높은 전계효과 이동도로 고속 동영상 구현이 가능한 IGZO TFT의 경우, IGZO 반도체 층과 층간절연막 사이에 수소화 처리를 진행할 경우 산업용 요구사양인 10,000 Gy 누선선량까지 엑스레이 영상센서로 적용 가능한 수준 이상으로 전기적 특성의 변화가 없음을 확인하였다. 따라서 수소화한 IGZO TFT는 방사선 내구성을 확보함과 동시에 높은 전계효과 이동도로 동영상 디텍터의 영상센서에 적용 가능한 유일한 소자임을 확인하였다.

Ferroelectric SrxBi2+yTa2O9+$\alpha$ thin films with various compositions(x=0.7, 0.8, 1, y=0.3, 0.4) were prepared by sol-gel method. The film with moled ratio of 0.8:2.3:2.0 in Sr/Bi/Ta, which was deposited on Pt/SiO2/Si (100), showed better ferroelectric properties than other films. To investigate substrate effects, the same compositions were spin coated on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si (100) substrates. At an applied voltage of 5V, the dielectric constant($\varepsilon$r), remanent polarization (2Pr) and coercive field (Ec) of the Sr0.8Bi2.3Ta2O9+$\alpha$ thin film prepared on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si (100) were about 296, 24$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and Ec of 49kV/cm respectively. Both SBT films firred at 80$0^{\circ}C$ revealed no fatigue up to 1010 cycles. Retention characteristics of these capacitors showed no degradation up to 104 sec.

$Al_2O_3$ thin films were grown on H-terminated Si(001) substrates using dimethylaluminum isopropoxide [DMAl: $(CH_3)_2AlOCH(CH_3)_2$], as a new Al precursor, and water by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The selflimiting ALD process by alternate surface reactions of DMAI and $H_2O$ was confirmed from measured thicknesses of the aluminum oxide films as functions of the DMAI pulse time and the number of DMAI-$H_2O$ cycles. Under optimal reaction conditions, a growth rate of ~1.06 ${\AA}$ per ALD cycle was achieved at the substrate temperature of $150\;^{\circ}C$. From a mass spectrometric study of the DMAI-$D_2O$ ALD process, it was determined that the overall binary reaction for the deposition of $Al_2O_3\;[2\;(CH_3)_2AlOCH(CH_3)_2\;+\;3\;H_2O\;{\rightarrow}\;Al_2O_3\;+\;4\;CH_4\;+\;2\;HOCH(CH_3)_2]$can be separated into the following two half-reactions: where the asterisks designate the surface species. Growth of stoichiometric $Al_2O_3$ thin films with carbon incorporation less than 1.5 atomic % was confirmed by depth profiling Auger electron spectroscopy. Atomic force microscopy images show atomically flat and uniform surfaces. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and cross-sectional high resolution transmission electron microscopy of an $Al_2O_3$ film indicate that there is no distinguishable interfacial Si oxide layer except that a very thin layer of aluminum silicate may have been formed between the $Al_2O_3$ film and the Si substrate. C-V measurements of an $Al_2O_3$ film showed capacitance values comparable to previously reported values.

In order to investigate the dependence of a content in lead lanthanum titanate (PLT) films and heat treatment, sol-gel process has been used. Four types of PLT thin films with the chemical formula, Pb$\_$1-x/ La$\_$x/Ti$\_$1-x/4/O$_3$(X=18, 21, 24 and 28 mole %) have been fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si multi-layers and ITO/glass substrates, The post-annealing temperature in the range of 400~700 $\^{C}$ is applied for the formation of perovskite structure in PLT films. The structureal, electrical and optical properties of PLT film with the addition of La content are estimated. The films orientation and surface structure of films are studied by XRD (X-ray diffraction) and SEM(scanning electron microscopy). The P-E hysteresis loop become narrower with increasing La content. The average transmittance of the films is about 80%.

ZnO is an n-type semiconductor with a wide band gap near 3.37 eV. It was known that ZnO films with a resistivity of the order of $10^{-4}\;{\Omega}cm$ is not easy to obtain. 1, 3, and 5wt% Si element were added into ZnO in ordre to improve the electrical and optical characteristics. The Si-doped ZnO (SZO) was grown on a glass substrate by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering at the temperature range from 100 to $500^{\circ}C$. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of SZO film showed preferable crystal orientation of (002) plane. It was confirmed that the lowest resistivity of the SZO films was $2.44{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$ and SZO films were significantly influenced by the working temperature. The average transmittance of the films was over 80% in the visible ranges.

N-doped ZnO thin films were deposited on n-type Si(100) and homo-buffer layer, and undoped ZnO thin film was also deposited on homo-buffer layer by RF magnetron sputtering method. After deposition, all films were in-situ annealed at $800^{\circ}C$ for 5 minutes in ambient of $O_2$ with pressure of 10Torr. X -ray diffraction shows that the homo-buffer layer is beneficial to the crystalline of N-doped ZnO thin films and all films have preferable c-axis orientation. Atomic force microscopy shows that undoped ZnO thin film grown on homo-buffer layer has an evident improvement of smoothness compared with N-dope ZnO thin films. Hall-effect measurements show that all ZnO films annealed at $800^{\circ}C$ possess p-type conductivities. The undoped ZnO film has the highest carrier concentration of $1.145{\times}10^{17}cm{-3}$. The photoluminescence spectra show the emissions related to FE, DAP and many defects such as $V_{Zn}$, $Zn_O$, $O_i$ and $O_{Zn}$. The p-type defects ($O_i$, $V_{Zn}$, and $O_{Zn}$) are dominant. The undoped ZnO thin film has a better p-type conductivity compared with N-doped ZnO thin film.

The field-effect transistors (FETs) with a graphene-based p-n junction channel were fabricated using the patterned self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). The self-assembled 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) monolayer deposited on $SiO_2$/Si substrate was patterned by hydrogen plasma using selective coating poly-methylmethacrylate (PMMA) as mask. The APTES-SAMS on the $SiO_2$ surface were patterned using selective coating of PMMA. The APTES-SAMs of the region uncovered with PMMA was removed by hydrogen plasma. The graphene synthesized by thermal chemical vapor deposition was transferred onto the patterned APTES-SAM/$SiO_2$ substrate. Both p-type and n-type graphene on the patterned SAM/$SiO_2$ substrate were fabricated. The graphene-based p-n junction was studied using Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. To implement low voltage operation device, via ionic liquid ($BmimPF_6$) gate dielectric material, graphene-based p-n junction field effect transistors was fabricated, showing two significant separated Dirac points as a signature for formation of a p-n junction in the graphene channel.
