  • Modern thin film deposition processes require high deposition rates, low costs, and high-quality films. Atmospheric pressure plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (AP-PECVD) meets these requirements. AP-PECVD causes little damage on thin film deposition surfaces compared to conventional PECVD. Moreover, a higher deposition rate is expected due to the surface heating effect of atomic hydrogens in AP-PECVD. In this study, polycrystalline silicon thin film was deposited at a low temperature of 100℃ and then AP-PECVD experiments were performed with various plasma powers and hydrogen gas flow rates. A deposition rate of 15.2 nm/s was obtained at the VHF power of 400 W. In addition, a metal foam showerhead was employed for uniform gas supply, which provided a significant improvement in the thickness uniformity.

  • 플라즈마 전해산화(Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation)란 저 농도의 알칼리 전해액을 매개로, 고전압을 가해 미세 플라즈마 방전을 유도하여 Al, Mg, Ti 등의 금속표면을 산화시켜 고내식성, 초경합금 수준의 내마모성, 탁월한 절연성과 고경도성을 가지는 산화막을 형성시키는 기술로 전자, 자동차, 의료, 섬유, 해양, 석유화학 산업에 이르기까지 광범위한 분야에 적용되어 우수한 물성을 확보할 수 있는 차세대의 표면처리 기술이다. 본 연구에서는 6061 알루미늄 합금을 이용하여 다양한 전해액 조건에서 플라즈마 전해산화 공정으로 Al2O3 산화막을 형성시켰다. 산화막의 조성 및 미세구조는 XRD와 FE-SEM, EDS를 이용하여 분석하였다. 형성된 산화막은 회색에서 밝은 회색으로 시편 전면에 고르게 나타났다. 전해액 조성을 바꾸어줌에 따라 각기 다른 표면 특성을 가지는 산화막을 얻을 수 있었고, 그에 따른 물성 변화를 분석하였다. 특히 Si 이온 농도를 조절함으로써 피막 성장인자와 표면 미세구조를 제어할 수 있었다.

  • Cost-effective purification methods of silicon were carried out in order to replace the conventional Siemens method for solar grade silicon. Firstly, acid leaching which is a hydrometallurgical process was preceded with grinded silicon powders of metallurgical grade (~99% purity) to remove metallic impurities. Then, plasma treatments were performed with the leached silicon powders of 99.94% purity by argon plasma at 30 kW power under atmospheric pressure. Plasma treatment was specifically efficient for removing Zr, Y, and P but not for Al and B. Another purification step by EB treatment was also studied for the 99.92% silicon lump which resulted in the fast removal of boron and aluminum. That means the two methods are effective alternative tools for removing the doping elements like boron and phosphor.

  • 수분을 첨가한 열화학기상증착으로 $850^{\circ}C$에서 길게 수직 성장한 다중벽 탄소나노튜브를 합성하였다. 실리콘 웨이퍼에 열 증착기로 Al 15 nm를 입히고 그 위에 촉매 층으로 Fe 0.5 nm 를 증착한 기판을 사용하였다. 탄소나노튜브의 성장에는 분위기 가스로 Ar을, 성장 가스로 $C_2H_2$를 사용하였다. 이들 가스를 이용한 합성 중에 약 100 ppm 전후의 수분을 첨가함으로써 탄소나노튜브의 성장 길이를 10 배 가량 증가시켰다. 이것은 합성 중의 수분 첨가로 인해 금속촉매 입자들의 활동성이 증가하였기 때문이다. 수분의 첨가량를 달리하여 합성한 탄소나노튜브의 길이와 정렬도를 관찰하기 위해 주사전자현미경 (scanning electron microscopy, SEM)을 이용하였고, 탄소나노튜브의 정확한 지름과 벽의 개수를 파악하기 위해 투과전자현미경 (transmission electron microscopy)을, 결정성을 파악하기 위해 Raman 분광기를 사용하였다.

  • Use of a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) technique is shown to improve the properties of metal-ferroelectric BaMgF$_{4}$-silicon structures. The fluoride film was deposited in an ultra-high vacuum system at asubstrate temperature of 300$^{\circ}C$. A post-deposition annelaing was conducted for 10 seconds at 600.deg. C in a vacuum of 0.1 Torr, using a home-made RTA apparatus. The results showed that the resistivity of the ferroelectric BaMgF$_{4}$ film from a typical value of 1-2${\times}10^{11}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ before the annealing to about 5${\times}10^{13}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and reduce the interface state density of the BaMgF$_{4}$/Si interface to about 8${\times}10^{10}cm^{2}{\cdot}$eV. Ferroelectric hysteresis measurements using a sawyer-tower circuit yielded remanent polarization and coercive field values of about 0.5$\mu$C/cm$^{2}$ and 80 kV/cm, respectively. the typical remanent polarization of the BaMgF$_{4}$ films ont he (100) and (111) oreientated silicon wafers were 0.5 - 0.6 $\mu$C/cm$^{2}$ and that of th efilms on the (110) wafers was 1.2$^{\circ}C$/cm$^{2}$.

  • The resistive memory switching characteristics of resistive random access memory (ReRAM) using the amorphous GeSe thin film have been demonstrated at Al/Ti/GeSe/$n^+$ poly Si structure. This ReRAM indicated bipolar resistive memory switching characteristics. The generation and the recombination of chalcogen cations and anions were suitable to explain the bipolar switching operation. Space charge limited current (SCLC) model and Poole-Frenkel emission is applied to explain the formation of conductive filament in the amorphous GeSe thin film. The results showed characteristics of stable switching and excellent reliability. Through the annealing condition of $400^{\circ}C$, the possibility of low temperature process was established. Very low operation current level (set current: ~ ${\mu}A$, reset current: ~ nA) was showed the possibility of low power consumption. Particularly, $n^+$ poly Si based GeSe ReRAM could be applied directly to thin film transistor (TFT).

  • 칼코젠계 태양전지의 광흡수층으로 사용되는 CuInSe2은 직접천이형 반도체로 광흡수계수가 $1{\times}105cm-1$로 매우 높고, 전기광학적 안정성이 우수하여 실리콘 결정질 태양전지를 대체할 고효율 태양전지로 각광받고 있다. 광흡수층의 밴드갭 에너지가 증가하면 태양전지의 개방전압(Voc)이 증가하여 광변환 효율을 향상시킬 수 있으므로, CuInSe2에서 In의 일부를 Ga으로 치환하여 에너지 밴드갭의 변화를 주는 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 그러나 화합물내의 Ga 조성비가 증가하면 단락전류(Jsc), 충진률(fill factor)이 낮아져 태양전지 효율을 저하시키게 되므로 CIGS 박막의 적절한 화합물 조성비를 갖도록 최적조건을 확립하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 실험에서는 광흡수층 형성을 위해 Sputtering법으로 금속 전구체를 증착하고, 고온에서 셀렌화 열처리를 수행하는 Sequential process(2단계 증착법)를 이용하였다. soda-lime glass 기판에 Back contact으로 Mo를 증착하고, 1단계로 CuIn0.7Ga0.3 조성비의 타겟을 이용하여 Sputtering법으로 $0.5{\sim}2{\mu}m$ 두께의 CIG 전구체를 증착하였다. 2단계로 CIG 전구체의 셀렌화열처리를 통하여 CIGS 화합물 구조의 박막을 형성시켰다. 이때 형성된 CIGS 화합물 박막의 두께는 동일하게 함으로써, 열처리온도에 의한 박막의 구조변화를 비교하였다. 증착된 CIGS 박막은 고온 엑스선회절분석을 통해 증착 두께와 온도 변화에 따른 CIGS 층의 구조 변화를 확인하고, 동일한 증착조건으로 Buffer layer, Window layer, Grid 전극을 형성하여 태양전지셀 특성을 평가함으로써 CIGS 태양전지 광흡수층의 결정구조에 따른 광변환 효율을 비교하였다.

  • MRE(Magneto-rheological Elastomer) is a material which shows reversible and various modulus in magnetic field. Comparing to conventional rubber vibration isolator, MREs are able to absorb broader frequency range of vibration. These characteristic phenomena result from the orientation of magnetic particle (i.e., chain-like formation) in rubber matrix. In this study, Silicon was used as a matrix in order to manufacture MREs. Magnetic reactive powder(MRP), having rapid magnetic reaction, was selected as a magnetic particle to give magnetic field reactive modulus. The mechanical properties of manufactured MREs were measured with the application of magnetic field. The analysis of MR effect was carried out by FFT analyzer with various induced magnetic field. As the addition of CIP and induced magnetic field intensity increased, increment of MR effect was observed.

  • 금속/실리콘계에 대한 이온선 혼합시의 비정질상 및 결정상 형성여부를 예측할 수 있는 모델(ADF Model)과초기 결정상 예측 모델(PDF Model)의 적용을 실험적으로 조사하기 위하여 Ni/Si계에 대한 이온선 혼합을 온도와 이온선량을 변수로 하여 행하였으며 상형ㅅㅇ과정을 해석하였다. 이온선 혼합은 80keV가속기를 이용하여 상온~20$0^{\circ}C$의 온도 범위에서 1.0 $\times$ $10^{15}$Ar^{+}$/$cm^{2}$~2.0 $\times$ $10^{-16}$Ar^{+}$/$cm^{2}$의 이온선량을 변화시키면서 실험하였고, 상분석은 TEM과 GXRD를 이용하였다. Ni/Si게에 대한 ADF값은 0.804로 양의 값을 가지므로 이온선 혼합시 비정실상이 형성되고, $Ni_{2}$Si상이 다른 화합물상보다 훨씬 큰 음의 PDF값을 갖으므로 초기 결정상이 $Ni_{2}$Si가 될 것을 예측하였다. 이러한 예측은 실험결과와 매우 잘 일치하였다. 이상의 연구결과로부터 ADF 및 PDF모델을 이용하여 박막에서 형성되는 상을 보다 정확히 예측할수 잇음을 알 수 있었다.

  • The change of microstructure in the bonded interlayer and mechanical properties of the joints were investigated during Transient Liquid Phase Diffusion Bonding(TLP bonding) of STS304/SM17C and STS304/SM45C couples using Ni base amorphous alloys added boron and prepared alloy as insert metal. Main experimental results obtained in this study are as follows: 1) Isothermal solidification process was completed much faster than theoretically expected time, 14ks at 1473K temperature. Its completion times were 3.6ks at 1423K, 2.5ks at 1473K and 1.6ks at 1523K respectively. 2) As the concentration of boron in the insert metal increased, the more borides were precipitated near bonded interlayer and grain boundary of STS304 side during isothermal solidification process, its products were $M_{23}P(C,B)_6}_3)$ The formation of grain boundary during isothermal solidification process was completed at structural carbon steel after starting the solidfication at STS304 stainless steel. 4) The highest value of hardness was obtained at bonded interface of STS304 side. The desirable tensile properties were obtained from STS304/SM17C, STS304/SM45C using MBF50 and experimentally prepared insert metal with low boron concentration.
