Even though the fabrication methods of metal oxide based thin film capacitor have been well established such as RF sputtering, Sol-gel, metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) and pulsed laser deposition (PLD), an applicable capacitor of printed circuit board (PCB) has not realized yet by these methods. Barium Strontium Titanate (BST) and other high-k ceramic oxides are important materials used in integrated passive devices, multi-chip modules (MCM), high-density interconnect, and chip-scale packaging. Thin film multi-layer technology is strongly demanded for having high capacitance (120 nF/$mm^2$). In this study, we suggest novel multi-layer thin film capacitor design and fabrication technology utilized by plasma assisted deposition and photolithography processes. Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 (BST) was used for the dielectric material since it has high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss. 5-layered BST and Pt thin films with multi-layer sandwich structures were formed on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate by RF-magnetron sputtering and DC-sputtering. Pt electrodes and BST layers were patterned to reveal internal electrodes by photolithography. SiO2 passivation layer was deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD). The passivation layer plays an important role to prevent short connection between the electrodes. It was patterned to create holes for the connection between internal electrodes and external electrodes by reactive-ion etching (RIE). External contact pads were formed by Pt electrodes. The microstructure and dielectric characteristics of the capacitors were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and impedance analyzer, respectively. In conclusion, the 0402 sized thin film multi-layer capacitors have been demonstrated, which have capacitance of 10 nF. They are expected to be used for decoupling purpose and have been fabricated with high yield.

본 연구에서는 산소지시물질을 이용한 새로운 UV-activation 인쇄형 시간-온도 이력지시계(time temperature integrator; TTI)를 개발하였다. $TiO_2$와 glycerol이 UV activation을 위해서 첨가되었으며 glycerol의 경우 비가역적반응을 위해 첨가량을 23 mg으로 조절하였다. 또한 인쇄적성을 위해 zein 함량 0.8 g, 90% ethanol 함량 4.0 g으로 조절하였고 silk screen의 mesh는 250 mesh일 때 최적의 인쇄성상을 나타내었다. 서로 다른 커버필름(PE, PET, OPP, and LLDPE)을 이용하여 색변화속도와 온도의존성을 측정하였다. 각 필름의 $E_a$를 측정한 결과 OPP, PE, LLDPE의 경우 60.07-84.47 kJ/mol의 $E_a$를 나타내어 TTI로서의 적용가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 반면 PET의 경우 $E_a$가 15.76 kJ/mol으로 적용성이 떨어지는 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 커버필름의 두께의 경우 $E_a$에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났으며 annealing한 필름은 고분자 구조의 변화로 인해 산소 투과도가 annealing하지 않은 동종의 필름보다 PET의 경우 29.8%, PVC의 경우 60.7% 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 새롭게 개발된 UV-activation 인쇄형 TTI는 다양한 커버필름을 통해 산소 투과도와 $E_a$를 조절할 수 있었고 annealing을 통하여 추가적으로 산소 투과도를 조절할 수 있어 다양한 유효기간을 갖는 식품에 광범위하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

$Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ (PZT) films with a thickness of $5{\sim}10{\mu}m$ at the morphotropic phase boundary were fabricated by aerosol-deposition (AD), and their phase evolution and electrical properties were investigated. The microstructure of the AD PZT films revealed nanosized grains with a low crystallinity and a dense structure at room temperature. The AD PZT films showed a mixture of tetragonal and rhombohedral phases. The post-annealing temperature was varied to study the phase transition behavior. The crystallinity of the AD PZT films was enhanced by annealing at 450, 550, and $650^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. At $650^{\circ}C$, the tetragonal and rhombohedral phases reacted to form a bridge phase between the two phases. The polarization-electric field hysteresis loops of the AD PZT film annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ exhibited a smaller cohesive field and a lower slim hysteresis than the films annealed at 450 and $550^{\circ}C$.

In this study, PZT etching was performed using planar inductively coupled Ar(20)/$Cl_2/BCl_3$ plasma, The etch rate of PZT film was 2450 $\AA/min$ at Ar(20)/$BCl_3$(80) gas mixing ratio and substrate temperature of $80^{\circ}C$. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis for film composition was utilized. The chemical bond of PbO is broken by ion bombardment, and the peak of metal Pb in a Pb 4f peak begins to appear upon etching, decreasing Pb content faster than Zr and Ti. As increase content of additive $BCl_3$, the relative content of oxygen decreases rapidly. We thought that abundant Band BCl radicals made volatile oxy-compound such as $B_{x}O_{y}$ and/or $BClO_x$ bond. To understand etching mechanism, Langmuir probe and optical emission spectroscopy (OES) analysis were utilized for plasma diagnostic.

투명전극은 디스플레이, 태양전지와 같은 광전자 소자에 필수적이며, 지금까지 개발된 재료 중에는 ITO가 가장 투명하면서 전기전도도가 높고 생산성도 좋기 때문에 투명전극의 재료로 사용하고 있다. ITO는 낮은 비저항(${\sim}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$) 과 높은 투과율 (~85 %), 상대적으로 넓은 밴드갭 에너지 (3.5 eV) 의특성과 같이 뛰어난 전기적 광학적 특성에 반해서 높은 원자재 가격, 불안정한 공급량 등으로 인한 문제점이꾸준히 제기되고 있다. 따라서 $In_2O_3$:Sn, ZnO:Al, ZnO:Ga, ZnO:F, ZnO:B, TiN 등과 같은 물질들로대체하려는 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. ZnO는 ITO보다원자재의 수급이 원활하기 때문에 원가가 낮으며, 상대적으로 낮은 온도에서도 제작이 가능하다. 또한 화학적으로 안정적이므로 ZnO에 Al, Ga 등의 3족 원소를 도핑함으로써 낮은 비저항의 박막 제작이 가능하고, ITO 박막과 비교하여 etching이 쉬우며 기판과의 접착성이 좋으며, sputtering 공정시 plasma 분위기에서의 안정성이 뛰어나고 박막증착율이 높기 때문에 투명전극으로 적합한 재료이다. 본 연구에서는 cylindrical type의 Aldoping된 ZnO single target을 사용하여 박막 증착 압력의 변화를 주어 유리기판 위에 DC sputtering을 하였다. Fieldemission scanning electron microscope (FESEM)을 통해 ZnO:Al 박막의 표면의 형상과 두께를 확인하였으며, X-ray diffraction (XRD) 분석을 통해 박막의 결정학적 특성을 관찰하였다. 투명전극용 물질로서 ZnO:Al 박막의 적합성 여부를 확인하기 위하여 Van der Pauw 방법을 이용하여 박막의 비저항, 전자 이동도, 캐리어 농도를 측정하였으며, 박막의 기계적 성질 및 표면 접착성을 확인하기 위하여 nano-indentaion 분석을 하였다. 또한 UV-vis spectrophotometer를 이용하여 ZnO:Al 박막의 투과율을 분석하여 투명전극으로의 응용 가능성을 확인하였다.

Basically, the lattice mismatch between film and substrate can make those BiFeO3(BFO) films distorted with strain structure. BFO phase can be stabilized on LaAlO3(LAO) represents the example of a multiferroic with giant axial ratio. Its crystal structure is not strictly tetragonal, but tetragonal with a slight monoclinic distortion and related to the rotation of the oxygen octahedra. In this study, we show that phases with a tetragonal-like epitaxial BFO films can indeed be ferroelectric and also can be stabilized via epitaxial growth onto LAO. Recent reports on epitaxial BFO films show that the crystal structure changes from nearly rhombohedral ("R-like") to nearly tetragonal("T-like") at strains exceeding approximately -4.5%, with the "T-like" structure being characterized by a highly enhanced c/a ratio. While both the "R-like" and the "T-like" phases are monoclinic, our detailed x-ray diffraction results reveal asymmetry change from MA and MC type, respectively. By applying additional strain or by modifying the unit cell volume of the film by substituting Ba for Bi, the monoclinic distortion in the "T-like" MC phase is reduced, i.e. the system approaches a true tetragonal symmetry. There are two different M-H loops for $Bi_{1-x}Ba_xFeO_{3-{\delta}}$(BBFO) and BFO films on SrTiO3(STO) & LAO substrates. Along with the ferroelectric characterization, these magnetic data indicate that the BFO phase stabilized on LAO represents the first example of a multiferroic with giant axial ratio. However, there is a significant difference between this phase and other predicted ferroelectrics with a giant axial ratio: its crystal structure is not strictly tetragonal, but tetragonal with a slight monoclinic distortion. Therefore, in going from bulk to highly-strained films, a phase sequence of rhombohedral(R)-to-monoclinic ["R-like" MA-to-monoclinic, "T-like" MC-to-tetragonal (T)] is observed. This sequence is otherwise seen only near morphotropic phase boundaries in lead-based solid-solution perovskites (i.e. near a compositionally induced phase instability), where it can be controlled by electric field, temperature, or composition. Our results show that this evolution can occur in a lead-free, stoichiometric material and can be induced by stress alone. Those major results are summarized as follows ; 1) Ba-doping increases the unit cell volume, 2) BBFO on LAO can be fully strained up to x=0.08 as a strain limit (Fig. 1), 3) P(E) & M(H) properties can be tuned by the variation of composition, strain, and film thickness.

In this study, double layer KTN/STO thin films were fabricated on $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrate, their structural and electrical properties were measured according with the number of STO coatings, and their applicability to microwave materials was investigated. The average grain size was about 80~90 nm, the average thickness of the 6-coated KTN thin film was about 320 nm, and the average thickness of the STO thin film coated once was about 45~50 nm. The dielectric constant decreased with increasing frequency, and as the number of STO coatings increased, the rate of change of the dielectric constant with the applied electric field decreased. The tunability of the KTN thin film showed a maximum value of 19.8% at 3 V. The figure of merit of the KTN/1STO thin film was 9.8 at 3 V.

SAW filters of transversal type were fabricated on some piezoelectric substrates of the LN 128$^{\circ}$ Y-X, LN 64$^{\circ}$Y-X, Quartz ST-cut wafers through the simulation in which the number o: IDT and window function were changed for the required frequency, and the mask making. Their IDT spacing and width were 3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, chip size was 4.462 $\times$ 2.086 mm$^2$, and they had double electrode transversal type IDTs. In addition to pure Al electrode devices, Ti thin films having the different thicknesses was introduced between the Al electrode and the substrate for improving the power resistance strength. They had 11-12 dB insertion losses similar to those of pure Al electrode SAW filters in case of LN 128$^{\circ}$ Y-X, LN 64$^{\circ}$ Y-X, meaning that Ti thin film was not detrimental to the insertion loss and general frequency properties. The filters had the center frequencies 162MHz for LN 128$^{\circ}$ Y-X, 186MHz for 64$^{\circ}$ Y-X, and 131MHz for Quartz ST-cut substrates.

Recently, many state-of-art spectroscopy techniques are used to unravel the mysteries of condensed matters. And numerous heterostructures have provided a new avenue to search for new emergent phenomena. Especially, near the interface, various forms of symmetry-breaking can appear, which induces many novel phenomena. Although these intriguing phenomena can be emerged at the interface, by using conventional measurement techniques, the experimental investigations have been limited due to the buried nature of interface. One of the ways to overcome this limitation is in situ investigation of the layer-by-layer evolution of the electronic structure with increasing of the thickness. Namely, with very thin layer, we can measure the electronic structure strongly affected by the interface effect, but with thick layer, the bulk property becomes strong. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is powerful tool to directly obtain electronic structure, and it is very surface sensitive. Thus, the layer-by-layer evolution of the electronic structure in oxide heterostructure can be investigated by using in situ ARPES. LaNiO3 (LNO) heterostructures have recently attracted much attention due to theoretical predictions for many intriguing quantum phenomena. The theories suggest that, by tuning external parameters such as misfit strain and dimensionality in LNO heterostructure, the latent orders, which is absent in bulk, including charge disproportionation, spin-density-wave order and Mott insulator, could be emerged in LNO heterostructure. Here, we performed in situ ARPES studies on LNO films with varying the misfit strain and thickness. (1) By using LaAlO3 (-1.3%), NdGaO3 (+0.3%), and SrTiO3 (+1.7%) substrates, we could obtain LNO films under compressive strain, nearly strain-free, and tensile strain, respectively. As strain state changes from compressive to tensile, the Ni eg bands are rearranged and cross the Fermi level, which induces a change of Fermi surface (FS) topology. Additionally, two different FS superstructures are observed depending on strain states, which are attributed to signatures of latent charge and spin orderings in LNO films. (2) We also deposited LNO ultrathin films under tensile strain with thickness between 1 and 10 unit-cells. We found that the Fermi surface nesting effect becomes strong in two-dimensions and significantly enhances spin-density-wave order. The further details are discussed more in presentation.
